Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner has generously
agreed to donate fine flag pole and a
number of patriotic citizens will provide
large American flag. The pole and

FEDERAL FARM LOAN BANK
OPtN FOR BUSINESS SOON
On Recommend of Local Loan AsSocia-
ton viii Lend on Five per
cent Basis

Money can only be secured to pay
farm debts, to buy and improve land.
The farm loan bank will not lend
money for speculative purposes In
short the borrower must have a very
definite use for the money he intends
to borrow and tell Just what it is to be
used for. The following letter to a
Cashmere citizen may be of interest to
farmers in this vicinity who intend to
take advantage OF the cheap money
offer. 1t is from D. G. O'Shea, presi-
dent OF the Federal Farm Loan Bank,
Of Spokane:
Your letter dated the 18th inst,
addressed to the Federal Farm Loan
Board. of Washington, D. c., has been
sent to US for reply.
we beg to advise that the Federal
Land Bank, Of Spokane, is now being
organized, having taken the initial pro-
Gee dings on the 25th inst.
I'VE are earnestly endeavoring to
secure office rooms and vault space and
shall try to get in position to take care
OF the business OF our district at the
earliest date possible. Inasmuch, how
ever. as our organization is only now
beginning and we have to provide for
Offices, forms and suitable help, and
there is a very large quantity of mail
accumulated, it will be impossible to
reach it all at once.
We are preparing forms for applica-
tions for loans, report Of loan commit
tees. approvals Of directors. subscrip-
ton for stock aud affidavit for secretary
treasurer, and as soon as same will have
been completed and printed we shall
endeavor to get start, and will forward
all such papers and blanks with instruc-
tions to assist in the completion
thereof.
The rate OF interest which will be
charged is per cent per annum, pay
able annually, with such payments on
principal as will retire same in stated
period from S to 40 years. 1t will be
worth waiting for.
Yours very truly,
D. G. S'Shea, President.

Increasing Wages By Law

A bill was put thru congress March
9th to raise salaries OF government en-
ployes in six big departments $780,
100000 year. 1t adds ten per cent
to all who receive $1,000 year or
less, and five per cent to all who re-
ceive from $1,000 to 81, 300 salary
year. This is the largest amount ever
voted for this purpose and is the first
time that blanket increase has been
voted to the lower paid employees.
It is in effect an increase by law in
the wages Of 100000 government en-
ployes, who are in for life, and none Of
whom would resign or could earn as
much in the open competitive labor
market.
The postalization Of railroads, tele-
graphs and telephones would increase
the number OF government employees
to such an extent that they could ab-
solutely control elections and get any
wage increase asked for.

Than lOye-P0rtrayed by II. S.
Class at Scenic Next
Friday Night

The Senior class OF the High School
will present at the Scenic Theatre next
Friday evening, April 18th the American
play entitled THE Altar Of Riches"
The heroine, daughter of Wall street
financier, is stopping at fashionable
summer resort incognito, with her friend
Miss Lucille Harcourt, who is writing
book on the methods Of financiers.
Charles Wilberforce, financial king
is also stopping at the hotel. The
heroine and her friend Miss Harcourt
enter into an agreement to pull off a
real Wall street high finance deal with
another speculator who happens to be
the heroine's father, tho unknown to
her. The heroine falls in love with
Wilberforce, the Wall street magnate
and is betrothed to him. The Wall
street deal is corner on copper in
which the heroine's lover is pitted
against her father. Just about as the
trap is to be sprung she finds out her
father is the victim in the corner. The
play of emotion between Loyalty to her
betrothed and her father is the keynote
of the play, but finally filial duty tri-
umphs and her lover is ruined financially.
He discovers his betrayal and upbraids
Gwendolyn for her duplicity, but later
realized her position and finally comes
to admire her devotion to her father
and there is a reconciliation and

A mad coyote gave the people along
Peshastin creek scare last Tuesday.
It was first seen at the Stark ranch by
a number Of pruners who were at work
in the orchard, as the animal did not
seem to be frightened when attempts
were made to scare it. The men
thought themselves better of in the
high branches instead of hunting a
mad coyote. A close watch was kept
on the animal and it soon started to-
ward the Wright saw mill. Telephones
were put into service and everybody
up the creek was warned Of the vicious
animal headed their way and to be
on the look out for it. The first place
it appeared was at the Jacob French
ranch, when Mrs. French opened the
door she was horified to see the animal
standing only few feet away. AS the
dog which was also in the yard had
signs on it OF being bit, Mrs. French
had it killed as soon as possible. AS
the coyote neared the home of Chas.
Wright, who was ready for it with his
gun, and one single shot from the
steady aimed firearm soon closed the
hunt. The head of the animal was
turned over to DR.. McKeown who has
sent it to Pullman for an examination.
