PAN.AMERIcAN MEETING

Washington, June 6.-Announce'
ment that President Wilson will con.
vene the second Pan-American tlnan'
cial conference on January IL, next,
upon the recommendation of Secre-
tary Glass, made made by Assistant
Secretary Rowe Of the treasury de-
partment, in an address before TO-
days session of the second pan-Am-
erican COMMERCIAL conference. Ne
cessity of closer financial co-opera-
tion between the countries Of this
continent to assist in development
of their resources in order to sup
ply the needs of the war-worn coun-
tries of Europe, prompted the call
ing of the conference, DIR. Rowe said,
after a lapse of five years since the
first financial conference in 1915,
which organized the international
high commission.
Frank A. Vanderlip, former presl-
dent of the National City Bank OF
New York, and Charles M. Schwab,
president of the Bethlehem Steel
CORPORATION, also addressed the con-
vention. Under the general topic of
trade financing, the discussion CEN
tered on the collateral subjects of
investments, loans and credits, bank
ing and government aid to COM

STATE CORPORATIONS
FOR HANDLING COTTON

Columbia, June 16.-A meeting OF
the Board of Directors Of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association will be held
Yin New Orleans on July 1st, End and
3rd, 1919. Special committees have
been appointed for handling matters
of vital Importance to the entire
cotton belt.
Among the important matters. to
be handled is the matter of State
Corporations for the marketing Of
the cotton crop and a standard ware
house system for the entire cotton
belt. There are special committees
actively at work on Banking and
Legislation, Finance and Organiza-
ton, Cotton Tare, Marketing and
taking of Cotton Reports, all Of
which will make reports at the meet
ing of the Board in New Orleans.
At the New Orleans meeting a
whirlwind campaign for membership
in the Association will be launched,
so that every single, solitary farmer,
merchant, banker, business and pro-
fessional man, who has the best in
terests of the cotton grower at heart,
throughout the length and breadth Of
the cotton belt will be solicited for
membership. Many of the states
have already put on this campaign, as
the rivalry between the states to-
complete their organization first will
be very intense.
Objects of Association.
"Cotton will never. be sold again
for less than profitable price as a
result of the work of the American
Cotton Association" says ]. Skot-
towe Wannamaker, president Of the
Association, ga standard warehouse
system to be controlled by the pro-
ducers throughout the entire cotton
belt is one of the promary objects Of
the Association. A marketing cor
poration which will enable the pro-
ducer to sell his cotton at the high
est possible price is one of the i'm
portant matters which is being work
ed out. Both of these plans are full
ly described in Bulletin No. ., whieh
has just been issued by the Associa-
ton. At the New Orleans meeting
plans will be perfected for the check
irg CT crop reports. Arrangements
are being made - have representa-
tives in every cott5a consuming
country in the world to secure direct
information as 20 the need for cot
ton. The very best experts in the
South will be Sc :urel for handling
crop reports, the Association to issue
such crop reports tw;ce monthly.
"The organization of the Export
Corporation IS being encrgeticaliy
pushed to a prnmp; completion. This
corporation Will revolutionize the en-
tire business interests of the South"

ALLIES REPLY WILL

Paris, June 6.-There are still

reply of the Allies to the German
counter proposals can be submitted
to Count Won Brockdorf- -Rantzau

has not been definitely settled. New
ertheless, the members of the COM

that they will be able to complete
their report to the councils Of four
by Monday or Tuesday and the mem
bers Of the council themselves seem
sure that they will be able to pre-
sent the Allied reply on Thursday or
Friday.
An Uitimatum.
The reply will be submitted as an
ultimatum with short time limit,
probably, about four days, in which
Germany will either have to take or
leave the conditions as offered them.

under consideration, namely the ques-
ton of reparations, probably will not
involve any material changes in the
treaty as originally presented. The

MRS. JOHN L. THOMETZ DIES
AT TWIN FALLS, IDAHO

A telegram received by Mrs. F. B.
Goetter told of the death of Mrs.
John l.. Thometz, formerly Miss
Marion Grant of Colville, Thursday,
May /, at her home in Twin Falls,
Idaho. The news was received with
sorrow by Colville people, for she
was one of the most popular girls
raised in this city. Her brother
Louis Grant, who has been visiting
at the G. B. Ide home, left Thursday
for Twin Falls. Surviving Mrs.
Thometz are her husband, an infant
son, and two brothers Louis and Ian
Grant.
Marion Grant Thometz was born
in Chill, South America. Her pa
rents, who were natives of Scotland,
went to South America about 35
years ago and operated a sawmill
there. After her fathers death her
uncle John Mcdonald sent for his
widowed sister and her children. Mr.
Mcdonald had made a fortune in
the Silver King mine at Nelson. He
purchased the property north of Col
vile now owned by H. C. Gates. The
Grant family lived in the home now
occupied by the Gates family, and
the estate of Mr.. Mcdonald was left
to his sister at his death. Mrs.
Grant later sold the home and moved
to Colville, where she died a number
of years ago, leaving the three chill
dren orphans.
Marion made her home with Mr..
and Mrs. f. B. 'Goetter, and after
graduating from the Colville high
school she attended the Emerson
School of Expression at Boston. She
then taught expression in Colville
and in Seattle, and was considered
very successful in her chosen pro-
fession. She was a popular member
of the social circles of Colville and
added to the artistic life of the city
with her dramatic ability. Her mar
riage to Mr.. Thometz took place
Dec. 81, 1917, and she went with
him to Twin Falls to make their
home. A son was born to them
several months ago.

The fact that Mr.. Barghoorn has
recognized the Colville Loan and
Trust Company as one of the heal
thy banking institutions of Stevens
county demonstrates that Colville is
becoming one of the best banking
centers in eastern Washington.
The community is to be congratu-
lated that outside capital is seeking
investment here, showing that the
splendid opportunities of this county
attract the financiers and that they
believe in the future of the Colville
valley and Stevens county.
The Colville Loan and Trust Com
pany was organized in 1909 and has
a capital of $4,000 and surplus and
profits of $4,000. The deposits have
steadily increased until they amount
to $275,00O.

in the Spokane and Eastern and a
director in the First Trust and Saw
ings Bank of Moscow, Idaho, and a

ager, Sid +. Barnes as cashier, and
Mr.. Barghoorn has been elected as
a member of the board of directors.

greater depth. He is graduate of
Lehigh University, AM. 1914, has
had mining experience in Pennsyl-
svi mia both in hard and soft coal,
and has had 7 years experience in
the various coal mines of Washing
ton. He states that the mine will
produce lump, egg and steam coal,
with possibility of blacksmith coal
in quantity. He intends to go on
with the slope until there are $780,
900 tons in sight, and then ask the
railroad for spur to Valley. He
already has. an outlet for coal in
Spokane, and states that a ready
market is waiting for all the coal
the mine can ever produce. Mean
while the directors are preparing to
pet in wagon road from Valley to
the mine, SO that the mine can be
self-supporting. A grade of go can
be had all the way from Valley to
the mine. Stock has recently been
sold for this purpose.
The company owns 800 acres of
land about the mine, and has a
lease on the $40 acres west, with
plenty Of timber for all mining pur-
poses. Coal miners always main
tain that where there is one vein,
there is another to be found, and
prospectors have found coal BIOS
SONS both above and below the pres
ent vein, indicating that there are
three coal veins on this property.
The company has enough money in
the treasury to continue the slope
to depth which will disclose the
100000 tons wanted for railroad
demonstration purposes, and to build
the wagon road.
The officers Of the company are +:
W. S. Rogers, president; A. E. Pow
ell, vice president; H. G. West, Sec
retary- treasurer. Directors are w.
S. Rogers, A. E. Powell, A. w. Do
land, Frank Weatherwax, and Fred
Fisher. The company is incorporated
for two million shares, par value SC
share. The treasury has 100000
shares. Stock has been selling at
15c for funds to put in the wagon
road, and it had been decided to
raise the price to 25c a share on
May 1. Instead of doing that, how
ever, on April 80 the stock was re-
moved from the market, sufficient
funds being in hand for all work
needed. The directors claimed they
did not care to sell stock which was
evitasnt]y worth much more at the
present showing than the prices set
The total mining, transportation
and selling cost of the coal is esti-
mated at $4.45 a ton. If only the
present 100000 tons are sold, and a
profit of only So a ton is charged,
the mine will make money for its
stockholders and give to Stevens
county good coal at prices con-
siderably lesy than present cost.
Those who went from Colville on
Sunday to visit the mine were D. X.
Zuck, o. N. Bell, J. c. Harrigan, G.
B. Ide, John May, J. johnson, ]. H.
King. c. L. Simmons, representing
the company, went with them, and
all were entertained at dinner at the
Weatherwax home. A party of Spo-
kane capitalists, headed by "Dutch
Jake" Goetz, also visited the mine
with the Colville men.
