Money Locked Up,

Several of the Irish banks have au-
thority under an act of parliament
passed in 1916 to issue notes, and at
the beginning OF the war the crisis
which had to be met in England by
did not exist in Ireland. where the one
pound note is an established feature
of the currency. is the act provides
that money shall be held as cover
against all notes issued In excess OF
the amounts scheduled in the act and
as there has been a great increase in
the volume OF business transacted in
connection with the war ana ut the
same time contraction OF the gold
supply the banks have issued notes
greatly in excess of the figures pro-
yided in the cat To cover these they
have accordingly had to lock up q
great deal of idle money In the case
Of the National bank the chairman
announced that while the authorized
amount of bank note issue was $780,
600 pounds they have issued l,SOO.V00
pounds beyond that figure. Sugges-
tons have been made TO the chancel-
| lor Of the exchequcr for the setting
free OF the money held as cover on
certain conditions. But he has not ~
far felt himself able 10 agree to fht
proposal.
The secret of the strong position OF
the Irish banks Is the fact that Ire
land Is mainly an agricultural coun-
try and that owing to the war agricul-
ture Is a booming industry, The past
year has been very prosperous one
for the farmers. Reports from all
parts of Ireland show that the last
harvest was very good, and indicate
at least a repetition of II this year.
There is an ample supply of hay and
roots for winter feeding Of cattle, and
in most cases the farmers are said TO
have all they need In the way OF cat
tie as was feared would not be the
case when at the beginning of the
war the high prices induced exception
ally heavy sales.

tory to the Present,


Toxic, Jan. lin an Introduction
which ne contributed to Il book en-
titled belgium and the European
War" which has just been published
by Count della Faillc de Lcverghem,
the Belgian minister TO Japan, Pre-
mier Count Okuma declares his judg-
ment that the peace of Europe and
the whole world demands that Bel
GUM be made In the future more
firmly than ever a buffer state. The
work of Count della Faillc is a review
Of the situation in Belgium since the
entrance Of German troops at the out
break OF the war. The author dis
cusses in detail the evidence concern
ing the question of the violation of
belgian neutrality and alleged Ger
man acts Of cruelty and reaches the
conclusion that the proof Of German
cruelty is as overwhelming as Is GER
tain the violation Of Belgian neutral
lily.
"Tae existence Of Belgium as buf-
fer state Is indispensable TO the peace
of the world wrote Count Okuma In
his preface to the volume, The oc-
cupation OF this buffer state today by
the Germans he declared, was not
only in opposition to the stipnlations
of the treaty OF $40 but it is madmis-
sible from the standpoint of Justice
and contrary TO the principles for the
preservation OF the peace of Europe
TO make Belgium what she was be-
fore, namely, to make her n buffer
state on more solid basis. Is very
necessary not only for the peace OF
Europe but also for the peace of the
whole world.
work OF Justice.
He added: Resides 1t is work
Of Justice. We cannot help admirine
Belgium where, from the king dowr
to the simplest citizen all in this ter.
rlble struggle are fighting with such
desperation for the future Of the state
and for justice and that at the rish
OF their lives and with no thought OF
themselves We have no doubt what
ever that the final victory will be on
the side Of Justice and that the 10y
atty will be crowned with success"
In the conclusion of his volume
Count della Faille makes reference
to Japan and the Far East. He de
clares Germany victorious 'woult
mean the whole Of Europe submissive
to it's rule; the acquisition of large
colonial possession at the expense Of
vanquished England and France
Nothing would resist the German VIII

would have the choice Of coming to
an agreement with Germany or
rushing into the most terrible of dis.
asters."

Paints Buttermilk
Streak On Street

This one is little bit old, but
rather than let good story die un-
told. we will run the risk of turning
this issue into a history. 1t happened
several days, in fact, two weeks, ago
Fred Homes drove to town with a
wagon which he has fixed up for the
purpose, to get a load of buttermilk
for his hogs. Leaving the Ashland
creamery at a lively clip, he drove
down through town, blissfully oblivi-
Gus of anything wrong. Lo and be-
hold, when Fred had "druv on" there
was a beautiful streak of white about
three feet wide which the police had
not painted on the street for the edi-
fication of auto tourists. The streak
led from the creamery to where 1t
was lost in the dust Of the country
road at the end of the pavement. NO
one has learned whether Fred got
home with any buttermilk left, but
one would judge by the way 1t was
leaking when he went through town
that the pigs went hungry that night.
The explanation lies in the fact
that the warm weather had allowed
the cracks in the tank on the wagon
to expand until the milk cart was un-
seaworthy.
If you don't believe us, take look
at Main street. The traces still re-
main.

Blanche Sweet at
!. vining Tuesday

Blanche Sweet, the popular pho
todramatic star, will be seen at the
Vining on Tuesday, August s, in the
Jesse L. Lasky production of THE
Sewers" a thrilling drama of Rus
sian political intrigue founded upon
Henry Seton Merriman's novel of the
same name, prepared for the screen
by Marion Fairfax and produced un-
der the personal direction of William
C. DeMille.
Prince Paul Alexis of Russia is in
love with the daughter of his chan
cellor, Karin Dolokhof. The three
are secretly working for the League
of Freedom to make Russia repub-
lie. The agents of the league are
everywhere and the chief of the Sc
cret police is beginning to feel
vague unrest throughout the coun
try. The prince and Karin have just
plighted their troth when the prince
receives word from the czar that he
must marry the Princess Tanyo for
political reasons.
The prince at first wants to leave
Russia with the chancellor and his
betrothed, but Karin makes him real
ize that his duty to the league comes
before love. Princess Tanya is in
love with Count Egor Strannik or
the secret police, but she andf the
prince are married.
Under cover of the princess recep-
tion the heads of the league gather
at the home of the prince for a con-
ference. The chief of police learns of
this plan through an intercepted mes
sage and sends Strannik to get evil
dence at the reception. The prince
catches the princess in the arms OF
Strannik and beats him with the
knout. The league heads meet and
the prince is entrusted with some
papers which he conceals in groove
in the wall. Strannik and his men
trap the prince and Karin by threat
ening to use the knout on her lover
makes Karin reveal the hiding place
of the papers,
Having secured the evidence, the
princess and Strannik flee, but are
found by the pursuing heads of the
league. The princess is killed and,
although the papers are secured,
Strannik escapes.
Freed from his distasteful mar
riage, the prince, Karin and the chan
cellor flee the country.

Grants Pass Courier: Three bricks
of gold that weighed 4S5 ounces
gladdened the eyes of those who saw
them at the First National Bank, the
gold being a part of the monthly
cleanup at the Logan placer mine at
Waldo. The value of these bricks
was more than $4,000, and marks
one of the largest cleanups in the
record of the mine. Not all the
sluice boxes had been completely
cleaned when these bricks were cast,
and the total output of the mine for
the month is expected to reach s14,-

Asks S385,OOO Of
Government Funds

The state highway commission
Thursday made formal application to
the department of agriculture for
$3.50 of government funds for
use in road construction in Oregon.
The request for government aid as
provided for in the federal act for
the construction of rural post roads
was signed by Governor Withycombe,
Secretary of State Olcott and State
Treasurer Kay, and Immediately for
warded to Washington.
In its application the highway
commission sets forth that the money
is desired for building what is known
as the Mount Hood Loop road, the
Crater Lake road, road from Klam-
ath Falls to Eugene and thence west
to Florence on the coast, and a\road
to certain scenic caves in Josephine
county. Later the commission also
expects to furnish the government Of
ficials with other routes which it may
be desired to improve.
1t is expected that approximately
$4,000 will be available from the
government for road construction
this year.
Only the details of the proposed
Mount Hood Loop road, its approxi-
mate cost being $2,90O,OOO for the
172 miles of its length, were includ-
ed in the commissions request. No
specific data on the other proposed
roads are yet at hand, but as soon
as the information is obtained the
commission will forward it to the
government officials.
Through the provisions of section
s of the federal road act, the com
mission has asked for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 and 100000, which
it is hoped will be available this year.
The expenditure of this money and
it's allotment to different states and
road projects is under the supervision
of the forestry bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture. The money, it
is provided, must be expended on
roads located within federal forest
reserves.
Governor Withycombe said he be-
lieved the Mount Hood Loop project
was a good one, but declared he
feared too much attention was being
paid to scenic roads and not enough
to commercial highways.
81 feel that this fund is intended to
help isolated communities" he told
the other members Of the commits

will give outlets to farmers in outly-
ing sections, we will accomplish a

S. P. Tells sTAgents
OF Ashland

The Southern Pacific Bulletin in
its last issue prints the following con-
cerning Ashland for the information
of its agents along the line:
"The people of Ashland, Ore, have
spent 800, 900 in the development of
the wonderful mineral springs in the
canyon back of the city. Lithia
Park, recently completed, is fitted
with fountains connected with the
springs, and the health-giving waters
will be dispensed free to those seek
ing relief from bodily ailments.
Lithia, soda and sulphur are found
in them, naturally carbonated as to
be very palatable. Their curative
properties are widely attested by
prominent physicians. Chemically
they resemble the famous springs of
the Stanislaw near Karlsdorf, Ga
licia."
