BANKERS AND FARMERS SPEND
TWO DAYS At STATE COLLEGE
Visitors Busy from Time of ArrivaI-"M Mutual
Confidence" PrOmoted--Convention will
be Held Annually.

Mutual confidence" was the key
note of the first annual Bankers
Farmers convention held at Wash
ington State Friday and Saturday.
October and Z. After $50 bankers
and farmers from all parts of the
state, ranging from Seattle to Spo-
kane, from Elwaco to Colville, had
been banqueted, lectured, and enter
tanned together, after they had
laughed together and had considered
the agricultural problems, there was
evidenced an increased feeling of
confidence and understanding.
The delegates gathered in front of
Bryan Hall early Friday afternoon to
review the prize stock from the col
lege farm. At 2:30 the convention
was called to order by E. f. Flood,
chairman of the bankers association
committee on agricultural and voca-
tional education. He briefly out
lined the purpose of the convention
and its chief problem: the great need
of both bankers and farmers to know
their mutual difficulties Ralph C.
Stacy of Tacoma, president of the
bankers association. explained to
the evident satisfaction of all pres
ent, the provisions and workings of
the new farm land bank law. He
gave the assurance that the sectional
bank for the Northwest would un-
doubtedly come to Spokane. SEN
ator w. II. Paulhamus of Sumner ex-
planned in detail some of the cooper.
alive ventures that he had inaugur-
ated in the Puyallup valley. He
showed how the farmer could make
more use of borrowed money by cit
ing the fact that the Sumner-Puy-
allup Fruit Growers association did
an annual business of over a million
dollars almost entirely on borrowed
money.
D. llllls GulNOl VI lhC
North Yakima Herald, gave some
pointed examples of how the farmer
has copied the dishonest practices of
his brother in business. Regent E.
T. Conan told of the boys club work
in Spokane, and urged more cooper
alton between the farmer and the
business man. Mr.. II. R. Smith,
formerly of the U. of Minnesota, and
now live stock expert of the Farmers
National bank of St. Paul, took the
place on the program of Louis w.
Hill and spoke at length on the
wealth of certain stock raising sec
tions of the middle west as compared
with the average communities in the
same sections. President Holland, in
his address of welcome, outlined the
policy and possibilities of Washing
ton State, and showed the advantage
of cooperating with the college.
After a short intermission, the
platform was cleared and the visitors
witnessed two fast boxing bouts and
two exciting wrestling matches.
The dinner Friday evening given
by the Pullman Chamber of Com
merce, at which $50 were present,
and the luncheon for $50 given Sat
urday noon by the college, were
planned, served, and prepared by the
women of the home economics de-
partment.
Friday evening the bankers and
farmers listened with interest to the
musical program, in which excellent
numbers were given by the college
glee club, Mrs. Ina Wright Herbst,
DR.. e. A. Evans, and the college or
chestra. DR.. Evans responded with
three greatly appreciated encores; an

Dear Sir:
Your request for cooperation in
securing data relative to an examina-
ton of the Columbia, Snake and
Clearwater rivers received and beg
to offer the following information in
relation to a point located between
Almota and Wawawai on Snake river
known as Log Cabin island;
1t is very centrally located in the
best part of eastern Washington and
near the best part of northern Idaho.
This point has interfered with nav
igation of the Snake ever since its in
spection and the government has ex-
pended frequently large amounts to
keep the rapids open for navigation
in ordinary water stages for very
flat bottomed steamers. BY placing
dam near the lower part OF the is
land and locks on the north, the is
land would give protection in ex-
treme floods to both locks and ship
ping.
We have no data as to the fall at
this point, but it occurs to US as be-
ing sufficient to develop large
amount of power, in fact, the largest
amount at any centrally located i'm
provement for navigation on the
Snake river.
I will undertake to give you the
counties joining, the distance to the
nearest point to those that are men
toned that do not join, the principal
towns and distance from this point,
ascertaIning 1t by measuring by using
scale of miles on a map OF the state
of Washington published by Arthur
Capper on an air line from point to
point.
The assessed value of counties as
given by the state board Of equaliza-
ton and the amount Of acres In each

rotary Of state of Washington.

general conditions with that part OF

Special TO The World.


TAHLEQuAH, Okla, March 1S.-
In the wild and troublous times which
prevailed in the Indian Territory fol-
number of years subsequent to the
close Of the civil war, the deputy
marshals of the United States court
for the Western District of Arkansas
bore conspicuous part in the con-
scrNatiOn of law and order.
The headquarters of the court was
at Fort Smith, Arkansas, Just across
the river from the territory, and
from the boundary line Of the state
the Jurisdiction of the court extended
for several hundreds of miles to the
west. Much of the vast domain un-
der the courts jurisdiction was un-
settled and in the dense foi ests, rug
ged hills and valleys, the violators Of
law found hiding places well suited to
them.
Some were thus enabled to remain
In hiding for long periods, finally to
make their escape to other sections of
the United States. But as a general
thing the alert deputy marshals spot

CLOSED SEASONS
BIRD SHOOTING

Washington, D. c., Sept. 9.-The
new regulations for the enforcement
of the migratory bird laws were ap-
proved by the president August 21,
and became effective on and after that
date. 1t shows the open seasons when
hunting birds is permitted under these
regulations. Hunting at other sea-
sons is prohibited. Hunters, however,
should consult their state laws, as the
federal regulations will not be con-
strued to authorize hunting within a
closed period prescribed by the state
occurring within the open season I'M
der the federal regulations.
Shooting is prohibited between sun
set and sunrise in both zones. Insect
ivorous birds are protected indefinite
ly in both zones and no open season is
allowed. Band-tailed pigeons, cranes,
wood ducks, swans, curlew, willet, up
land plover and smaller shore birds
are protected everywhere until Sep
TENDER 1, 1918.
Florida is included in zone 2, and
the regulations apply in this state
from November 1, to January 81, in

ator Eugene Hale. For the second
senatorship the republican nominee is
former Governor Bert. M. Fernald.
The republican state ticket is headed
by Carl E. Milliken, who is 80, and the
youngest man who ever ran for gov
ernor in the state of Maine. In the
second congressional district, now rep
resented by McGillicuddy, the repub-
licans have named Wallace White.

Frye.
If Maine should go republican On
Monday, no one would have reason
to feel much surprised. In doing SO,
Maine would merely be following it's
natural bent. It had not gone demo
cratic in a presidential year since
1852, although it came near doing SO
in the year Garfield ran, until four
years ago, when the progressive split
resulted in Democratic victory. The
republicans this year claim that nine
tenths of the progressives have, re-
turned to the republican ranks.
If the republican candidate for Unit
ed States senator should be elected
and should make stronger showing
at the polls than the republican can
didate for governor, the national lead
ers of the party will naturally insist
that the vote for United States sena-
tor disclosed the real sentiment of
Maine on national issues. The two re-
publican candidates for senator, how
ever, must command majorities of
considerable size in order to give the
election much national significance.
Maine has always been strongly pro-
tectionist in sentiment. The weakness
of Mr.. Taft hereabouts in 1912 was
due mainly to his fight for reciprocity
with Canada, which the Maine repub-
leans resented.
Ordinarily, the protectionist senti-
ment of the state would be countee
sufficient in presidential year, to in
sure the success of the republican sen
atorial candidates, but election this
year is based on unknown factors.

Of course it has had to come down to

is it not being more widely
used among those to whom it is vol
untary, not compulsory? The cost is
small, trifing, compared with the GER
tain results, and in Florida, if expense
is the only obstacle, the state board Of
health will pay the bill for those who
are unable to pay it for themselves.
An eminent medical authority has
predicted that within the next score
of years, typhoid will become a rare
disease, remembered mainly in medi-
cal records. Certain it is that typhoid
is an unnecessary disease very ex-
pensive one both in it's monetary cost,
in the indirect loss it brings by reduc-
i ing the individual producing efficiency,
and in its heavy death rate.
But any predictions as to the future
control of disease must include the
uncertain element of Individual will
ingness to cooperate with health au-
thorities for individual welfare and
for that of the community. Just as
long as the individual citizen won't
cooperate, just so long will the gen.
eral advance be delayed.
Medical science has made long
strides forward within the past TWEEN
ty years, and it is advancing to wider
usefulness more rapidly now than ev-
er before. Perhaps it's greatest prac-
teal benefit to mankind within this
last score of years, has been to show
that diseases may be prevented and
to bring the method and the proof to
every man who will read or listen. The
results of it's discoveries have been
published free and far and wide and
through the medical profession-the
family doctor-these results are with
in the reach Of all.
The man who refuses or neglects to
make these practical things part of
his life, to know these practical and
simple remedies or preventives, is
guilty of an offense which each year is
becoming more grave and serious.

Employing Printers Meet

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 9.-Rep-

entire country, delegates to the an

and scarcity of paper is the big prob

in general in their trade. Business is
good, they say, and labor troubles are
scarce.
