AT THE THEATERS-SPOkANE
At the CIemmer

"The Parson OF Panamint," with
Dustin Farnum in the title role, Is
the attraction to be shown at the
Clemmer theater the four last days
of this week
The story is set in an uncouth
western village in the mining days
Panamint, the mining town, has be-
come so prosperous that the inhabi-
tants feel the need OF a parson. This
need the mayor of the town endeav-
ors to supply, journeying to San
Francisco, where he chooses a man of
cloth who seems to fit the require
ments of his parish
The parson, however, turns out to
be as good fighter and better
sport than any man in the village.
Evenautlly the parson proves that he
Is a good shepherd for his rough
flock. How he accomplishes his pur-
pose makes up the story, narrative
filled with thrilling incidents con.
nected with the portrayal of western
life in the early days.

THE NEWEST REr1EDY
FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried to all parts OF the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones, When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
joints, it causes lumbago,. rheumatism,
govt or sciatca; This is the time TO try
uAnuric" Send 1Oc. for trial package.
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired and backache begins.
This is good time to take "Anuric,"
the new discovery of DR.. Pierce fol-. Kid,
ney trouble and Backache.. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
deaths, and Insurance Company examin-
ing doctors always test the water OF an
applicant before policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside bottle of water
for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi-
ment or settling sometimes indicates kid
ney trouble. The true nature and char
acter of diseases, especially those of the
kidneys and urinary organs, can often
be determined by careful chemical an
alyss and microscopical examination
this is done by expert chemists of the
Medical Staff Of the Invalids' Hotel. II
you wish to know your condition send
sample of your water 10 Doctor Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. ", and de-
scribe your symptoms. 1t will be ex.,
amined without any expense to you, and
Doctor Pierce or his Staff of Assisting
Physicians will inform you truthfully.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: In nearly all
important industrial and mercantile
lines the trend is toward a furtthh. CT
increase in activity and is exception
ally marked in some directions. Man
ufacturing plants are being operated
to their capacity, the shortage in the
supply of labor being practically the
only deterrent to additional expan-
sion.
The demand for fall merchandise is
encouragingly brisk and the general
business sentiment is optimistic. In
the central states the movement of
commodities continues well sustained,
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1916-09-29

and reflects prosperous conditions. In
the south the inquiry for staple goods
is increasingly active, while western
commercial centers report substantial
increases in business over last year.
On the Pacific coast the favorable
crop prospects in that region, to-
gether with the generally high prices
for agricultural products, are indica-
tive of still further progress. Retail
trade drags at some points, owing to
labor controversies, but this condi-
ton is regarded as temporary and
demand for fall merchandise as a
whole is maintained in volume that
reflects an expanding purchasing
power on the part of the people gen.
orally. Weekly bank clearings were
$4,333, s97 ,1sO.

Bankers Promote
Thrift Movement

A movement is now under way,
backed by the American Bankers as
ISOLATION that has for it's object an
ingathering of small depositors. In
40 cities throughout the country there
was started on September / an adj
vertising campaign which embodies
the publication of full page newspa-
per advertising as the initial effort,
supplemented by large issues of book
lets for business offices and schools,
with placards for street car advertis
ing and placing in factories. The
moving picture houses will be util-
lied. 1t is also planned to have the
churches set aside a special day for
emphasizing the value of thrift, and
prepared articles on the subject will
be generally published.
Three purposes are sought to be &C.
complished by the association. First,
the ingathering of $3OO,OOO,0OO esti.
mated to be boarded in old stockings,
bureau drawers, cooking stoves and
teapots or buried in the garden in or
der that this money may be perform
ing useful functions. Second, the pro-
motion of systematic saving among
classes oil people who would accumu
late a portion of their incomes if
once interested in the building up of
deposits in the banks; and third, to
jar the bankers themselves from an
attitude of hidebound conservatism
and make them a more active and
useful element in the community, pro-
viding better facilities for the accom-
mediation of small depositors and
commanding larger resources for serv-
ing the requirements of the public.
Merchants may we'll encourage such
a movement. Thrift makes for the
promotion of legitimate business. 1t
is false notion that extravaganza
and lack of system is advantageous
to the retailer, for it usually entails
reckless expenditure in other direc-
lions and economy in merchandise
purchases. A bank account is help
full institution in placing credits upon
a better basis. The placing of idle
in employment will help ma
terially in increasing the purchasing
power of the community while a lit
tie more progressiveness on the part
of the banks will prove helpful.

LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

We are informed that S. e. Beggs

pointed trustee of the Stack Gibbs
Lumber company and the Dryad Lum-
Der company of Occur d'Alene, Idaho,
has declined to serve and that w. A.
Armstrong of Occur d'Alene has been
selected and has accepted.
A fire, destroying over 100000
feet of lumber, broke out in the yards
at the sawmill owned by Tom Donlon
on Little Beaver creek just south of
Belnap, Idaho, at about midnight Sep
TENDER II. The mill buildings, bunk
and cook houses were saved, but all
of the lumber stacked in the yards
ready for shipment was entirely con-
sumed, the fire lasting for over "a
hours

Fruits and Vegetables.

Apples-Apples have been coming
forward in larger variety, and some
fancy Yakima Gravensteins have been
selling up to $3.50, with an abund-
ance of cooking apples ranging at
65c@$1.
peach canning season, and increasing
supplies of seasonable fruits, there
has been an active business in this
line. Peaches have been selling down
to 55c in quantities during the past
few days, and the top of the season
is about over. Next week will see
the finish of Elbertas and Crawfords
but other varieties will be in mar
ket for some time.
Other Fruits Cantaloupes have
been plentiful and selling at 75c per
crate, while there has been some
thing Of glut in watermelons, which
are selling at &c per pound. Cas-
sabas are held at ~. Pears are sell
ing at $1.25 for local Bartletts. Ma
laga grapes are jobbing at $1.25, with
Tokays at SLIGO. Blackberries hold
at $3.50 per crate, and huckleberries
at &c per pound. Lemons are a lit
$7.75 for choice.
Potatoes-Spuds are in good local
supply and the market is easy at $25
per ton. Sweet potatoes hold rather
high at So per cwt. There was a
good tone to the Chicago market and
values were somewhat higher. Re-
ceipts were light and demand con-
tinued active.
Other egetables-Yakima onions
are holding at $1.75, with California
dry onions at $2 Local beets, car
rots and turnips are jobbing at $1.50
o.. Cabbage is plentiful at $1.50
and celery is on the market showing
fine quality at Coo per dozen. Toma-
toes are firmer at 75c, while green
peppers are off at 40c. Pumpkin has
also dropped, being quoted at 81.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-While quotations on wheat
are held at nominally the top range
previously established the actual sit
uation by recent Stacking off in spec
ulative activities. Last week the Chi
cago market scored record advance
of 14c on the strength of settlement
in the railway strike situation and
developments in the Balkan war sit
uation, but this advance has not been
we'll maintained, and the level there
is high above the coast parity in
values. There is very little business
passing locally, although some buy
ing is maintained by the mills and
little coastwse shipping is going for
ward. There are no charters report
ed for foreign exports, and with rates
nominally held around $50 shillings,
there is no prospect Of immediate
business in that direction, but at the
moment there is lull in this bust
ness, which is interfered with to
some extent because of difficulties in
securing prompt deliveries. Quota
tions at the moment arei1 RW1 ,,ti,. -
81 %, CIV" v, $1.15: en nd red Russian,
$1.14.
Flour-Market is held strong in
sympathy with the position Of wheat
values, and in some instances local
patents are jobbing zoe higher, with
firm undertone. Export business is
still quiet, with not much business
being booked for the orient, although
some wheat is still going to West
Coast ports.
Feed-Prices held firm all along
the line, with an advance of So on
feed wheat, making the quotation $44.

Intolerance and prejudice are ele-
ments that work injury, whether ex-
hibited in personal conduct or in
community affairs. Their logical ten
dency Is in the direction Of narrow
mindedness and individual and class
hatreds, conditions which are contrary
to the spirit of progress and develop
ment. The drift in that direction
should be conscientiously guard g d
against if we would avoid impaired
usefulness, and ultimate serious dan.

Steers Balloon by Planes.

Washington Courthouse, Ohio.-A
military kite balloon landed near here
recently after trip from Akron, O..
distance of about 100 miles. The
balloon was piloted by C. H. Roth
and c. A. Wollen of Akron, and made
the trip in three hours and fortyfive
minutes. The balloon was Of the
dirigible type, shaped like large
cigar, but carried no motive power.
1t was steered by means of planes.
The pilots said that it was the first
time that such trip in balloon SO
equipped ever had been attempted in
this country.
