1.-The future of Washington, said
President Victor 3. Deyber, of the
Second National Bank, today. lis
a matter that is of immediate con-
Germ to all business and financial
interests of the city because the
development and prosperity of the
future is, in a great measure. based
upon the foundations being laid to-
day. That this is the case," con-
tinued Mr. Deyber, lis clear from
the present constructive upbuiiding
of our business houses and the
support given legitimate enterprise
by the financial institutions Of the
District of Columbia
1.-THE past few years. said Mr..
Deyber, ''have witnessed decided
expansion in many of the CONNER
cial houses here, resulting in great
ly increased facilities for serving
the public.
This enlargement Of quarters
and increase in size and variety
of stocks has not been upon a spec
ulative basis, but because, and sole
ly because it is warranted by the
business outlook for the future.
Il is based upon sound business
Judgment and matured mercantile
experience.
There could hardly be a stronger
premis upon which to- base an opti-
mistic prediction regarding the
future of the city" continued Mr.
Deyber. than this very concrete
evidence of faith in Washington

and supported by progressive
bankers
President Deyber heads one of
the oldest and most substantial
banks in the city and one which
is in close contact with local bust
ness.
He has, also. been in intimate
contact with the general banking
situation, being president of the

He is in an exceptionally favor
able position, therefore. to Judge
the present and future business
prospects here.

Mr.. Deyber. ito predicate our pros

upon the advent of new manufac-
turing enterprises, although il is
reasonable to believe that the loca-

present plan of development, would
add to the economic strength OF
the Community.

and the sixteen people filled 1t almost
to the overlooking point. The chill
dren were put to bed and the adults
made themselves as comfortable as
possible for the night.
When they became comfortable the
travellers suddenly realized that they
had not eaten for hours, and their
exposure and battling of the elements
had made them ravenously hungry.
One of the travellers was possessed of
large steak, and from their host
they obtained -four and made enough
of meal to take the keen edge off
their appetites, but not much more.
Monday morning the wind had al-
layed and the cars were dug out, and
with the assistance of team the
cars negotiated the huge drifts and
arrived at American Falls shortly af-
ter noon.

A SCARLET FEVER SERUM

All the Intermountain region will
be deeply interested in the news from
Chicago that a serum has been found
that seems to have checked scarlet
fever. This disease occurs in all the
states between California and the
Great Plains and it's serious after
effects, let alone it high rate of
mortality, have caused great con-
cern. The dispatch telling of the
discovery is cautious in its wording,
which is commendable, but the fact
that the American Medical Associa-
tion is interested holds out hope that
the news is even better than the
wording Of he dispatch would indi-
cate.
Smallpox, diphtheria, yellow fever
and even leprosy have been checked
by the application of the principles
of bacteriology, hydrophobia has al
most ceased to be a cause for fear
and ravages of bubonic plague have
been reduced. Measles and scarlet
fever have remained diseases that it
has not been possible for bacteriol-
ogy to reach, but no wone of these
seems in a fair way to succumb to
the efforts of scientific investigation |
and study.

SIXTEEN PEOPLE
SNOW BOUND

The following story is from the
American Falls press. The incident
occurred more than a week ago and
the weather and conditions have
changed since:
Five cars carrying sixteen people
were showed in at the City of Rocks
twelve miles from American Falls
on the Oregon Trail Sunday night
and did not reach American Falls I'M
til Monday afternoon.
Sunday was beautiful day in
American Falls, with nothing to in
dictate that so short a distance away
there ragged blizzard which almost
blinded travellers and drifted snow
SO badly as to finally stop all travel.
Among the marrooned travellers
were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lish and chill
dren, Mrs. Peter Nelson of American
Falls, Mr.. and Mrs. Chester Hall of
Burnley, and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
Wright of Kimberly.
The Lishes and Mrs. Nelson, who
had been visiting friends in Rupert,
left there Sunday forenoon, expect
ing a pleasant drive home. On the
raft river fiat they encountered
which increased in intensity
with the hours and made travel very
tedious. BY the time they reached
the City of Rocks they had to bat
tie the elements for every foot of dis
lance gained. When almost to the
City of Rocks they saw flashes OF
through the storm, and
we're encouraged to continue their eff
forts.
About midnight they came up to
the other cars and found the men
folks pushing the cars fifty feet at
a time in an effort to reach a more
sheltered position. The wind was
a gale, and the tracks would
be obliterated before the time they
Gould start the car behind.
Through the storm at times came
he glare of light in shack not
ar from where the cars were and
The party decided to seek refuge
here. 1t was the Joe Huehlberger

REAL MONEY FOR

There is always high spot in the
production of a motion picture-a
thrill or something that stands out.
Scene after scene is ground out day
after day and then something hap
pens to give everyone Connected with
the picture a shiyer of excitement.
The property department furnished
the thrill for Thomas Meighan and
his company recently when $4,000
in real money was scattered on the
set for a scene in THE Confidence
Man" Meighan, who plays the sharp
er in the story and his confederate,
Laurence Wheat, had the twenty
Thousand in yellow backs to carry
on their confidence game. They
seemed perfectly at home handling
the money but the electricians who
hung over the spotlights around the
set just stared and stared. All the
windows and doors we're closed by
the ever cautious cashier, who loaned
the money, to prevent any possibility
of bill blowing out of the set. 1t
was day of thrills and nobody
breathed easy until the twenty thou

HOW OFTEN DO RANGE
CATTLE GO FOR A DRINK

Those who are acquainted with
the habits of livestock in the more
humid regions might be surprised at
the ways in which these same ami
mails would meet conditions in the
semiarid regions of the West. The
COW that slakes her thirst every few
hours in the suceulent, stream-fur-
rowed pastures OF the East or mid
die West in dry country would
wait much longer before travelling
several miles for a drink.
Recently representatives of the
bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture,
made observations on the number of
times cattle go to water under differ
ent conditions nthe range country.
The evidence showed that for most
cattle it is a long time between
drinks, a matter of days rather than
hours. The cooler or wetter the
weather the less likely they are to go
to water more often than every sec
ond or third day. In dry, hot wealth
er many of them go every day; but
others go only twice every three
days, or once every other day In
one region in New Mexico the con-
elusion was reached that for the
best interests of range and stock in
level country, watering places should
not be more than five miles apart. |

STOPPING THE PAPER

On the average of at least once
week the editorial mail contains an
epistle from an individual with a
hobby or grievance. Part of the
time these epistles emit wrath about
something that has been printed in
the newspaper; part of the time
about somthing that hasn't been
printed. But they have an unvary-
ing conclusion which is a threat to
stop the paper"
OF course every editor respects the
opinions of his fellow men, whether
they chance to be readers of his par
ttcular paper or not; if he didn't he
couldn't expect his fellow men to
respect his opinions But the editor
who undertook to vary the policy of
his newspaper to suit every COM
piaint or humor, every hobby of sew
eral Thousand readers. would soon
find himself in the poor house or the
padded cell division of the lunatic
asylum. For this reason an editor
with mind of his own and certain
amount of work to perform every day
is Obliged to keep special corner of
his waste basket ready for the COM
munieations of heated individuals
who feel the impulse to stop the
paper"
People have been stopping pa
pers" for great many years, but
for some inexplicable reason news
papers continue to be published. The
answer probably is that where one
individual with narrow conceptions
and hide-bround prejudices takes Of
Tense at some truthful article several
hundred more are inclined to APP
plaud it. Another reason why edi-
tors are more or less contemptous of
the ''stop-the-paper" bulldozers is
that the great bulk of American citi-
zens respect a newspaper which is
frank and courageous, even when
they disagree with its policies, while
they have only disgust for one which
trims its sails to catch every passing
breeze.
This is free country, and nothing
is freer than the privilege of taking
a newspaper or leaving it alone. Edi-
tors would be the last OF all persons
to wish II otherwise. But the dear
reader who imagines that stopping
the paper" also stops the presses is
the victim of childish illusion. He
