tive of the Smith & Holden COM

from this place were consigned this
fall and winter, left for Wenatchee,

This is the second season that Mr..

strong friendships not only among the

he has had business relations, but
with every resident Of Oroville and

of making nis acquaintance. 1t is
hoped that Mr.. Barnes will be on the
job again next fall and if he elects
to return to Oroville he is assured of
a most hearty welcome.

LEGISLATURE IN SESSION.

The state legislature met in regular
bi-annual session at Olympia Monday
and will put in sixty days doing that
which it should not do and leaving
undone those things Is should do, II
it runs true to form as established by
previous legislative bodies. A legisla-
ture never puts in its full legal time.
True, it never fails to cover its full
sixty days as provided by law, but
Olympia is too near the populous GEN.
tiers from which the bulk OF the men,
bership is drawn, and there are too
many attractions In the large cities
near at hand for those legislators, too
far from home to spend the week end
at the family fireside, hence the leg
islature usually adjourns Friday un-
til Monday. This breaks into, the
proceedings of Friday. eliminates
Saturday, and it requires most OF
Monday for members to regain an
equilibrium after trip to the city so
that Monday does not cut much OF
figure for business accomplishment.
No legislative body has ever met in
this state preceded by such wide
spread demand for retrenchment with
the object of reducing taxation, and II
the legislators are true to their pre-
election promises reiterated since
election, then appropriations intro
duced in that body stand to get the
AK. The promises and performances
of men elected to legislative bodies do
not always go hand In hand for 1t Is
very easy for one to say he is going to
do a certain thing under certain con-
tingencies. and quite another tning to
carry out those promises when
brought face to face with the contin-
gencies. Everybody wants appropria-
tions curtailed if the appropriation is
demanded by some other fellow, but
hands off the appropriation that We
are directly interested in. A legislator
must be endowed with more than
ordinary stamina to Withstand the
pressure that Is brought to bear both

got of fthe following, which may not
be a classic from a poetic point Of

Who stew and fret;
But the best thing yet

PITTSBURGH. Pa, March S-An
eight-hour search of the smoIder-
ing ruins of North Side building
gutted by fire last night, failed to
disclose any additional bodies, fire de-
partment officers announced today
The fire resulted in the death of one
man and injuries to more than a score
others.
Three separate Investigations have
been launched by the fire marshal
the coroner and the fire bureau.
The fire was brought under control
early this morning after it had
burned for five hours. Fire Marshal
Thomas l.. Pfarr estimated the dam
age at S150,008.
While the cause of the blaze has
not been determined. fire officials ad-
vanced the opinion that it had its
origin from leaking gas pipes. The
four STORY building, an IL" shaped
structure fronting two streets. was
destroyed. but adjoining buildings
were not seriously damaged.
A religious meeting, attended most
ress on the second floor. while a
stonecutter's union was in session on
the third floor when an explosion
rocked the building. The force of the
blast plunged the building in dark
ness, but an instant later it was en-
veloped in flames. Two other blasts
followed in quick succession
The hundred or more persons in
the building became panic-stricken,
and when the first fire companies ar
rived a number already had jumped
. from the second and third story win
dows. Life nets were spread, into
which many jumped, while firemen
carried others down ladders.
Gustave Bickel, the only man
known to have lost his life. jumped
from the third STORY window.

Heavy Back Payments Due to
Special Orive-NeW Treas.
ury Financing Announced.

Collection Of back taxes by the
Treasury today passed the 100000, 900
mark. the figure estimated by Com
missioner Blair last June as the prob.
able receipts for the government from
that source for the fiscal year ending
June 80. Any further collections will
help to reduce present estimates Of
the budget deficit.
The heavy receipts Of back taxes in
the last few months were largely
from the 1917 tax returns, on which
a special drive had beeh made by the
internal revenue bureau In order to
clean up that years taxes before the
statute Of limitations becomes effect
I've. Treasury officials indicated to-
day that the hope Of finally auditing
the 1917 returns before the end OF the
current fiscal year would be fulfilled.
In the meantime the bureaus agents
are continuing their audit Of other
years tax returns.
Officials believe the average month
ly receipts from back taxes during
the remainder OF the fiscal year may
exceed 100000.

BY the Assoca ted Press
NEW YORK, March S.-Seymour
l.. Cromwell, president of the New
York Stock Exchange in an address
before the Merchants Association of
New York today declared that per-
sistent stories to the effect that Wall
Street, without reservation, was op-
posing legislation looking to the
checking Of fraudulent practices in
dealing In securities were untrue.
Such stories. he said had been cir
culated in an effort to create in the
public mind a prejudice against Wall
Street
Referring to published statements
attributed recently to District Attor-
ney Banton. that sS,o00,o0o.o00 had
been lost to the public through brok-
ers since the war, Mr.. Cromwell said
he wished to deny that spurious Sc.
curities were issued by brokers. He
said that bucketshops were not brok-
erage houses. and that Wash sales
had been punishable by statute for
years. Any member of the New York
stock exchange found guilty of the
offense, he said, was punished by ex-
pulsion.
He said the stock exchange was
opposing certain legislation now
pending at Albany but that Wall
Street interests would rally to the
support of legislation in which the
operations Of legitimate business men
were divorced from the operations of
swindlers
Reputable and responsible dealers
in securities" he said "have done
more to give New York Its great pres
tige than any other business and l
protest against the coupling Of legiti-
mate and supremely necessary bust
ness with the operations of swind-
lers."
