reported the ordinary trade channels,
sent the wheat market soaring today to
the highest prices yet this season. De-
malls by the Canadian government of
this appeared to have no influence. The
outcome was strong close at to
AS net advance, with September at
$l.34R and December at $1.39A. Other
leading staples too, all scored gains,
corn Is to rs; oats, rs to *, and
provisions 10 to 22h.
Broad demand characterized the
wheat market almost uninterruptedly
throughout the day with foreign pur-
chasers taking the lead. Export buy
ing for immediate shipment as distin-
guished from European acquisition of
pit contracts fer deliveries in future
months amounted to 100000 bushels,
mostly domestic winter wheat at the
topmost figures realized so far in 1916.
Exporters said it was not so much a
question of price as of getting the
wheat. AT least one of the European
governments would be directly in the
market as a buyer. The burst of
strength that began the instant trading
opened, and that reached the acme Just
before the close, was laid in the main
to dispatches from a leading expert
who telegarphed from Regina, Sask.,
that northward from Esteyan, Sask.,
the fields were all infected with black
rust
Corn rose with wheat and as a re-
suit of drought and heat only scat
tered showers were reported. Oats
were in active demand
Higher prices on hogs gave strength
to provisions. Offerings were scarce.

trouble would arise from the use
of wines, liquors, beers, or cor
dials. But unfortunately the in
temperates cause the trouble even
for the temperates, and the pres
ent law seems tended towards
forcing all people to be temperate.
The results show for themselves.
We recall no instances wherein
the state press united in praising
the financial results of local op-
tion. We find no record of the
open towns being free from vio-
lence and drunkenness for any
length of time. But the news
papers of the state are now CIV
ing many columns to the new con-
ditions found under the regulative
law. The inference is that the
present kind of a law will have to
be retained until all the people
are educated to judgment in eat
ing and drinking-which will
probably be a long time after we
are all dead.

HOW THE BANK MAKES
MONEY.

1t would seem that after the
bank takes your money, protects
it, pays it back on demand or as
you order, lends you money, dis
counts your neighbor' note for
you, it would have nothing else
to offer in your behalf. But it
hast "makes' money for you,
and incidentally makes money for
itself.
When you see the president or
the cashier of a bank signing his
name to a row of four crisp new
bills (they always come in sheets
of four) you may wonder what
he is doing, and what is behind it
all. We will show you by
simple illustration. Let us sup
pose you want to borrow a thous-
and dollars and offer your note
to your banker. He knows you,
knows that you will pay, and
wants to accommodate you. He
looks at his books and says: 81
can't spare the money. The law
says | must have fifteen cents out
Of every dollar | owe my depos-
tors in cash, or where | can get
it on demand; and | have just
what the law requires. If | give
you credit for the note and let
you check against it, | increase
my debts and make my condition
worse, for if | do not pay you in
cash | must stand ready to do 50. "
But being a resourceful banker,
and knowing how, he asks you
TO wait minute while he goes to
his strong box. He finds a gov
ernment bond which he bought a
year ago when he had plenty of
spare money, for cash, and comes
back smiling and says: every
well, in three days you can have
your money. | will turn this
bond into bank notes for you"
SO he sends the bond to Washing
ton, and in return the govern
ment sends him 200 crisp new
fve-dollar bills, to be signed by
two officers Of the bank, cut and
handed out to you.
The government keeps the bond
as security that he will redeem
the notes in "lawful money" on
demand-that is, pay greenbacks
or gold for them if demanded (but
this is seldom done), pays him in
terest on the bond and you pay
him interest on your note for the
use or ms notes, and DOth are Satls-
fed.
You see, by this proposition, he
has turned your note into bank
notes, with himself behind it and
the government behind him. Your
promise wouldn It go very far from
home, these promises will. Every
body knows them. They are
money" and circulates as such.
Now what has the banker done
by this process? He has furnished
the community as well as you with
circulating medium, handy to all
He has taken your credit and
turned it into bank credit. He
makes money and you take the
money he has made and make
some money for yourself. 1t is
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-03-11

very simple proposition, under
stood by few, but practiced by
many. If you don't fully under
stand it, ask your banker to tell
you more about it. This feature
of banking, however, is performed
in this country only by banks un-
der control of the federal govern
ment, namely, the national banks
and federal reserve banks, but is
common banking practice the
world over, differing in form but
not in substance, it being uni
versal function of the bank to
turn credit which is unknown into
that which is known and will
therefore be freely taken, and
bank note credit is the most COM
mon and useful form.
The United States senate, by a
vote of 46 to %, has passed the
water power bill and paved the
way for the greatest boom to
northeast Washington ever known.
The bill provides for leasing water
power sites for 80 years, giving
,its,, Of tna "a hn
states, and providing against any
combinations which will restrain
the output of electrical power.
The bill now goes to the house for
ratification.
The bill, if passed by the house,
means that the Columbia river
and the Pend Oreille river may
be opened to capital for power
development, after many years of
constant effort to secure some ia
vorable action by congress. 1t
means an unprecedented develop
ment for this great section rich in
power resources. 1t means cheap
light, power, heat, and current
transportation and for mining de-
velopment. 1t means factories
and industries where now there
are none. 1t means activity on
the banks Of the streams where
now fishermen and woodticks have
sole possession.
The conservationists in congress
bitterly opposed the bill-as usual.
The college-boy idea Of the east
is to keep our resources intact so
that future generations may do
something with them for the bene-
fit of the whole country. But we
who live here believe that water
will still be running in our streams
after Pinchot and his gang have
all been waited to their special
corner in the conservative here
after, and that we ourselves should
have part of the prosperity
which of right belongs to this sec
tion wherein we have settled and
made our homes and aided in de-
veloping all that has been de-
veloped.
Senator Poindexter, who is a
candidate for reelection, voted
against the bill.

The project to raise the parcel
post weight limit from so to 100
pounds was lost in the house OF
representatives by a majority OF
40. The republicans voted al
most solidly against it, while a
majority of the democrats, includ-
ing Congressman Dill, voted to
raise the limit.
There is to be another election
this fall, with the democratic
party opposed by the republican
party. The party and the men
who favor the express companies
at the expense of the people and
popular service are distinctly
marked. The Examiner will be
pleased to hear such excuses as
standpatters have for favoring
congressman who oppose the ex-
tension of the postal service, or
who oppose such men as Dill who
favor giving the public the bene-
fits of greater postal facilities.
There is more to a political
party than its name. The issue
is being drawn quite closely be-
tween those who favor popular
privileges, and those who favor
special privileges for certain cor
porations.

The state of Washington is pay
ing dearly for the men she sent
to the national capital who voted
against President Wilson's ship
bill. With no merchant marine
of our own and with the refusal
of the republican contingent to
aid in securing one, the American
producer can ship his wares at
the other fellow s price-or he can
stick his goods in his eye.
The northwest wants the Orient
al trade. Some certain eastern
financial interests did not want
the government to enter the ship
ping business. Some certain con-
gressman from this state favored
the eastern interests by a vote to
kill the shipping bill. And this
state gets the hole in the sack.
However, those who like this
system can of course keep on vot-
ing for it.

The Columbia river valley near
Kettle Falls has discovered itself
in the bean business. What Bos-
ton eats, Kettle Falls may here
after raise.
A representative of the D. M,
Ferry company of Detriot, has
contracted with the owners of 600
acres to raise beans and deliver
them to Meyers Falls for AZ cents
per pound. The seed for the spe-
cial kind of bean wanted is fur
nished by the company, also the
sacks, and full instructions are
given when needed. The soil of
the Kettle Falls country was ana
lyzed and found among the very
best in the United States for this
industry, and the price offered
leaves a good margin of profit to
the grower.

This has been "better baby

ton of the week s record will
show that the babies of the United
States were a trife better during
the week than previously, although
Colville statistics seem to show
that they were little worse than
usual owing to the bad weather.
However, the "better baby

eral effort is made to teach moth
ers how better to safeguard the
health of the youth, how to know
and demand purity in foods, and
how to handle the diseases Incl
dent to childhood. The state has
taken over the problem of the

health of the youth is still de-
pendent upon the parent. There
fore the parent is being educated

giene, and the result will be not
only "better babies but a better

the guise of national defense,
there is no army, no navy, no

Judging from newspaper re-
ports from the various cities and
towns of the state, the present
liquor law has proved a revela-
ton to those who formerly be-
lieved that local option and high
license were the best financial
methods of handling the liquor
traffic.
Spokane county has found that
the number of arrests has sudden
ly decreased to the minimum, with
fewer indigents to care for, fewer
crimes, and less court costs.
Sheriff Miller states that in Ste
vens county the results of the
new law are quite evident in his
office, the arrests having dropped
to the vanishing point, with the
results of the excessive use of
liquor in little evidence in any

new embarrassing proposals for the
application of CONSUMPTION to Ire

sir Edward Carson asserts that
the situation is such that without
conscription in Ireland it will be
impossible to even maintain the
Irish regiments at the front in
their proper strength. He contends
that ireland could provide another
half million men of military age
and asks what the colonies, which
have made such sacrifices for the
empire, will think of the Sinking
Of Ireland.
The Liberal newspapers consider
the agitation another attempt to un-
seat Premier Asquith and contend
that while the compulsion in Ire.
land would provide a few men, II
would provoke another first class
Irish crisis and throw Ireland int5
the hands of the Sim Feiners.
