After Booster Week lin North Da-

have heard it rumored that the first
novelty he will spring on the dormant
fasteners is chorus with skirts.
One of the features Of the eventful
week of November is the cooperation
of the newspapers Of the state. Many
of them are to issue special editions,
and an effort is to be made to have
people outside the state become &C.
quainted with our resources and ad-
vantages. The home folks already
know all about it.
The presidents Of all the big rail
roads of the Northwest have been
handled like tin soldiers by the pota-

NEW DOMESTIC LOAN FOR JAPAN

Tckio, Dec. 49, Leading Japan
ese bankers have decided that new
domestic loan should be raised to
redeem foreign loans.
This decision is a result OF the
fact that Japan has about $500, ,OOO,-
600 IN foreign loans which mature
in ten years. The idea is that upon
the conclusion of the European war
the monetary circulation of the
world will become stringent owing
to the financial readjustments of the
powers concerned. How Japan should
deal with the situation forms diff
cult question. The bankers think 1t
advisable to raise Il domestic loan
WITH a view to redeeming foreign
loans while the money market Is now
in g slack condition. They think
that the flotati0n of domestic loan
at this moment would not only help
adjust foreign loans but would also
moderate the monetary circulation at
honI".
| Acting on this conclusion. the
bankers will probably make repre-
sentations to the government. In
view of the satisfactory result of the
railway bonds issucl some time ago
1t is proposed to issue the domestic
loan at price of &c IL yen. will
