Spokane. I'VE represent now between
75 and 80 per cent of the deciduous
fruit tonnage that will be handled In

Weyrauch. Of Walla Walla. announced
at the conclusion Of the meeting.
Citizens Of Washington will receive
but 3 per cent interest on savings de.
posts from state banks after July I.
following the adoption Of resolutions
calling for this lower rate adopted by
the Washington state bankers at their
convention at Everett. The associa-
ton went on record as opposed to the
plan of the federal reserve board to
enforce collection Of checks at par on
out Of town collections. The bankers
declared that prosperity had made the
legitimate loaning Of money a diff
cult task and that 1 per cent interest
on savings deposits was prohibitive.

commission maintains over all activi.

ton is the heavy fine recently assess
ed against the Hewitt.Lee-Funk com.
pany, Of Sumner. in q case in which
these defendants were found guilty of
false classifications on q series of
shipments. The proceedings. conduct
ed before the federal court at Seattle,
revealed that the defendants had ship
ped a quantity Of hardware, frame
doors and dressed lumber under the
classification of rough lumber, which
takes lower rate than the commodi.
ties actually moved. The company
was fined $4,000, and William G. Funk,
one Of the partners. was fined $500.
When the date Of opening the Col

left above the necessary Indian allot-
ments at 200 quarter sections. Ac.
cording to reports received by state
land officials. 1t is now discovered that
an error was made in the original cal
culation by not consulting the stork.
On what is regarded as a conservative
forecast the reservation population
will be increased by 1877 papooses ar.
irving by the first of next month,
which will amount to the same as each
papoose arriving with warranty deed
to 100 first-choice acres in his hand.

WASHINGTON. April 3--Thc country's
prosperity now liz practically without a
spot" according TO reports from
twelve Federal reserve agents. made
public to-day by the Federal Reserve

the tide Of prosperity is the shortage
OF labor In both the Boston and New

business extensions.
The reserve agent at Boston says that
'in almost all lines Of trade cxccp-
tionilly good business Is reported" the
principal deterrlng factors being the en-
barge on freight, high cost Of raw ma
terial and shortage of skilled labor.
"Manufacturcrs are overwhelmed with
orders" says the report Of the New

scarcity Of nav materials, especially dye
tuns. ari by "A scant supply OF labor.
Tic absence OF supplies Is further ;lx-
gravatcd by "a serious car shortage,
which Is uncommon at this period OF the
