Memphis division of the Southern rail-
road met with the city commissioners and
agreed to recommend to the higher Of
ficials of the road that Waterman be
placed at the Meridian street crossing in
this city. This is one of the busiest cross
ings anywhere. 1t is the busiest street
leading out of the city, and there are
several railroad tracks leading across the
street, while buildings prevent anyone
from seeing approaching trains until they
are very near the street. Several serious
accidents have occurred there recently
and the people have besought the city
commission to require the railroad to
place a Waterman there.
Representatives of half a dozen furni-
ture contracting firms are meeting to-

which is receiving bids for the furnishing
of the new city high school, which will

About $4,000 will be expended for furnS-

American Financiers Unable to I'm

nv HOLLAND

New York, July 26.-(Special.)-The ma
tional foreign trade council is now urging
Congress to put upon the statute books
bill which would permit cooperation
and combination of exporters, but exclu-
siyely for export business. This is re-
garded as in line with a policy which
must be adopted if the United States is
to be in position to meet the stupendous
trade battle which it is presumed will
begin Immediately after the close of the
European war.
There is no prominent financier who is
not able to forecast to some extent the
situation we are to confront after the
European war is ended, Already there
are evidences that Europe will, soon
as the war is ended, make earnest at
tempts to get back from the United
States a considerable part of the gold
which has come here in unprecedented
volume since the early part of 1915.
One of the best as we'll as one of the
briefest expositions of what the future
may have in store for us was made by
Frank A. yanderlip-and was repeated to
the House judiciary committee on Thurs
day of last week--who has said that if
the war continues another year all Eu-
rope excepting possibly Russia) will be
depleted of its gold, will be staggering
under the weight of Inflated bank and
government paper and under the direct
stress to rebuild it's stock of gold. In
order to do that, Europe must approach
the gold reserve of the United States.
THE methods will be by every means
known to trade and commerce by which
merchandise, securities and credits can
be exchanged for gold.'
Should Congress permit American ex-
porters to form combinations or act in
CO. opera ton exclusively in foreign trade,
long step will be taken in the way of
European nations TO the foreign markets.
For it is claimed we should then be able
to match Germany and Great Britain, ma
tions which have always encouraged and
almost enforced trade combinations or
gunized for the purpose of securing and
increasing foreign trade.
UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA
A few days ago there came by WIRE
less from Berlin : report that Russia
was greatly dissatisfied with the United
States because the American bankers had
refused to make a loan to Russia. This
report was very puzzling to those in the
flna ncial district who read it. The Amer
lean bankers have looked with favor upon
Russian propositions or credits or loans,
especially in view of the fact that Russia

States Only few days ago, there was

LATTER DAY FINANCING

Some very interesting and sldilful fl
nancing is now in progress on both sides
of the Atlantic The visible and some
what dramatic evidence of it is furnished
by the extraordinary movement of gold
to the United States One of the latest
consignments found it's terminal. so to
speak, in Philadelphia, probably because
the facilities for storing it were greater
there than in New York. 1t makes no
difference where the gold is stored.
1t has been assumed that this, gold has
been chiefly sent for the purpose of pay
ing the United States for commodities
in this country and exported to the al
lies, principally England. But good
Judges say there are additional reasons
which of themselves furnish a sdelight
upon this latter day financing. Great
Britain wants, if possible, to keep per-
manently American funds in London. But
that would not be practicable unless
thosse who are fortunate enough to pos
sess these funds can obtain a higher rate
of interest upon them there than in the
United States. There appeared recently
some slight evidences that the money
rate in New York might increase to
point which would tempt American funds
from London to New York. If, therefore,
Great Britain can do anything which will
serve to keep the money rate low in New
York and if at the same time the Bank
of England makes tempting propositions
in the way of discounts, then American
funds will be sure to remain in London.
This is essetial if exchange rates are to
be kept at the present quotations.
There are other very technical reasons

BARKER IS BEING
BOOSTED FOR THE

North Idaho Republicans
May Unite on the Present
Secretary as Candidate for
Governor.

Bonner county. say Republican party
leaders here, is to be admired for it's
forwardness when il comes to annexing
state patronage, but they are inclined
to view the desire of the crop of poll
ticians up in that section of the state
to put their feet, head and bodies in
the public trough with amusement.
What brings this into prominence now
is the attempted boom launched for
the present secretary Of state, George
r. Barker, who halls from Standpoint,
for gubernatorial honors. This groom
ing say the friends of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Taylor, will no doubt be received
with hilarity by the presiding officer OF
the senate. himself an aspirant for the
governorship. incidentally. say poll
ticians here, northern Idaho's field
seems to be unlimited for guberna-
torial timber when two can be picked
from one county, and both from its
county seat. They even have an as
pirant for congressman there, so party
leaders have been informed, in the
somewhat celebrated speaker of the
last house of representatives, A. H.
Conner.
Bartlett Sinclair, the political sage
of the north. who spoke before the Lin
coin banquet here returned to his home
with the news that the secretary Of
state is being mentioned for the gov
ernorship, which no doubt will be news
to some of the party leaders located in
Boise who pride themselves on being
in touch with political developments in
the party.
In regard to the governorship Mr.
Sinclair Is said to have tipped off the
Barker boom to the north in the fol-
lowing statement:
"On the matter of a nominee for gov
ernor the south is fair. The south
feels the north ought to settle on one
man, and such a one would be sup
