A National Calamity


In the Red Cross disaster relief
for many years one calamity which
touched nearly every state with
sense OF horror and OF loss. This was
the distressing collapse of the roof
of the Knickerbocker Theatre in
Washington, ID. c.. resulting in nine
ty-six deaths and 1913 persons injured.
Situated in the center of the beauti-
ful Northwest residential section, this
motion picture theatre was patronized
by many persons Of prominence both
in the official and civil life OF the Ma
tlonal Capital. whose family and per
sonal connections radiated out over
the entire country The horror was
intensified by terrific snowstorm
which. though it retarded, did not
block Red Cross relief
Arship Crash Finds Aid at Hand
The crash and destruction of the U.
s. Army's large airship Roma in Vir-
ginia last February with the loss of "a
officers and men and IL injured was
the first disaster Of its kind to call for
hHU AiION~ ECiltl III tni> tOuHliH. lc
suddenness OF the accident tested the
preparedness OF the organization and
of the Chapter at Hampton, Va, but
the response was immediate and relief
furnished the survivors, also funds for
the expenses of relatives Of the dead,
who came from long distances to claim
their own.
In the years oversee record for aid
rendered by the Red Cross are two
fires in the Philippines. one In Manila.
wHich destroyed 1000 homes. with a
loss OF sl,500.O00 and 1900 persons
made homeless. the other at Tonic,
which drove 5000 from their dwellings.
In medical relief that was quick and
effective the smallpox epidemic in San
Domingo. which had total OF 22.0o0
cases with 225 deaths In single day,
tested the readiness Of the Red Cross
for action. and the same can be said
of the San Domingo hurricane. which
killed II persons and reduced the
homes of 1S2 persons TO wreckage. A
food in San Salvador. with a death
toll Of 80 and 2.Oo0 refugees, was also
efrectually handled by the local Chap
ter OF the American Red Cross.
Relief Machinery Perfected
The year has seen the further per-
lection OF disaster relief administra-
tive measures In every field of Ameri-
can Red Cross activity, and that the
work may be carried on TO still greater
accomplishments the American Red
Cross is appealing for widespread re-
newal of membership during the an
nual Roll Call. to be conducted this
year from ArmlStice Day (November
I'D to. and including, Thanksgiving
Day (NoyeInher 30).

previously mentioned in this report
that the Bank OF Commerce was
rendered insolvent as soon ns II took
over the Guaranty state bank. and
its officers and directors should have
been aware OF that fact in a very
short time thereafter
Immediately after taking over
the assets and liabilities OF the
Guaranty state hank the Rank Of
Commerce began paying cut large
sums Of money which appear to he
for interest on rediscounts and on
borrowed money a number nf pay
ments were made To- pay interest on
the personal loan OF officers OF the
bank, for which the explanation II
made that this officer would borrow
money at the bank and deposit that
money In the Bank of Commerce
and the Bank Of Commerce would
nay interest on that note for the Of
flcer who borrowed the money. Also,
officers appear to have been reim-
bursed for fees and expenses they
incurred in obtaining money which
was deposited In their own names in
the Bank of Commerce.
This method was not only loose
way Of conducting hank but was
intended to conceal the true con-
dItion Of the bank, as this money
deposited by the officers was not
really n deposit hut was borrowed
money for the bank and. should the
officers have been unable to pay H.,
would have boCn n liability Of tho
bank to the lender OF the money.
Detailed reports have been made to
you OF sworn reports signed by GER
tain directors OF the Bank OF Com
merce made TO the bank commits

pointed out to you wherein said re-
ports were false and such false
statements were known to the dircc-
tors at the time they subscribed to
same.

1T has also been shown TO you
that an officer OF the Bank OF Com
merco borrowed $4,000 from n bank

paid at the time the bank commits
sioner took charge OF the Bank OF

collateral was sold and the proceeds
applied on the note OF 100000. The
Bank OF Commerce, following the
practice OF the Guaranty state bank
at the time Il was taken over

Visits COlville Friends

Fleetwood Ward, a well known

has mining interests near Orient, was
registered at the Hotel Lee last
week. He is now located in the
Rookery building, Spokane. Mr.
Ward is an old timer in the mining
game and has had long experience
in that line.
He served under General Custer
during the Indian wars, but hesitated
to tell of this fact, as he stated that
he was a candidate for membership
in the Colville Bachelors club. He
stated that in the good old days
fishing in the valley was real fishing.
In referring to the old days gone by,
he could well remember Johnny
Walker and Rodney Pepper and
other citizens that were once favorite
partners of a lot of the old timers,
but are among those passed on to
the happy hunting grounds.
He emphatically stated that the
mining industry is due to have an

just as received in printed form from
the war department, which announces
that actual expenses up to $50 will
be paid to any person who delivers
any one of them to the military con-
troll, which would be the, nearest
army post. Any civil officer who has
power to arrest offenders may make
arrest of deserters.
In the rush of enlistment under
draft boards there were undoubtedly
errors made, and it has been found
that some men listed as deserters
were really serving in the American
or Canadian army at the time of
their call.
