SIS, 100000 on maintenance of way
this year, according toa announce
ment by J. T.Gillick of Chicago, op-
Grating vice president who was in
Spokane on inspection trip.
This is the largest expenditure
of this kind in three years, Mr.. Gill
lick Said.
"The biggest thing in the picture
of northwest railroading at present
is the splendid outlook for crop. all
the way from the Twin Cities to
the Coast, Mr. Gillick said. "The
outlook, the bestin years, is in
striking contrast t othe desolate
scene of year ago.
Northwest roads are going to be
benefited by the crop. Lumber
movement is increasing. although
it is not what it was before the
strikein the Pacific Northwest. The
copper situation also has improved,
and we are hauling more ingots
from the Washoe smelters of the
Anaconda Copper company at Ana
conda, Montana to the Anacondas
fabricating plants at Great Falls,
Montana, than formerly.

FEEERAL LAND BANK
ANNOUNCES LOW RATE

BY using the cooperative financ-
ing facilities which are available
through the Federal Land Bank, To-
cal farmers may now obtain first
mortgage loans at the lowest rate
in agricultural history per cent
Passing along full benefits from
the present cheaper money market,
the land bank put this record low
interest rate into effect on Monday
of this week, June a. according to
word received from President e. M
Ehrhardt.
This is the third successive reduc-
ton by this cooperative mortgage
institution in three months. On APP
ril l a reduction was made from 5
to r., then Az on April 10 and
now to per cent on new loans
closed through and endorsed by To-
cal bOrrOwer-owner associations
which hold an investment in the
banks capital stock.
These reductions were automati-
cally brought about by the market
ing Of new bond issues to the in
vesting public. The rate of interest
charged on new loans made thru
and guaranteed by local farm loan
associations may not exceed by
more TIM 1 per cent the rate of in
terest borne by bonds last Used by
the bank The recent offering and
oversu description of per cent bonds
thereby established the new base
ending rate of per cent, allowing
per cent for operating expenses.
Loans made directly by the bank
without local association endorse
ment bear one-half of 1 per cent
higher rate, or II per cent thru
the new reduction. z
While the new reduction applies
only to new loans closed after June
"a, all Land Bank borrowers have
been given a temporary reduction
until 1888, under special provision
by congress-, president Ehrhardt
explains. Emergency Land Bank
| commissioner loans, however,
made out of special fund, are not
effected and will continue to bear
S per cent interest.
| "The Land Bank was organized
in 1917 to give farmers a depend
able source OF first mortgage funds
at lowest cost, and it has steadfast-
| ly fulfilled this misslona operating
on the cooperative principal for con
structive service to agriculture.
Il Simultaneous with the reduction
of interest on new Land Bank loans
A. G. Adams, president of the 12tt
district Bank for cooperatives, an
nounced corresponding reduction
Iof interest to per cent on facility
loans closed after June "a to coop
lerative marketing and purchasing

TRUCK DRIVER BLOWS READ
of WITH DYNAMITE STICK
INVESTIGATING OFFICERS FIND
NOVEL METHOD WAS USED

Grand Caulee Dam, June 25.-
Investigation the possibilities
that Peter Flank, 28, truck driv-
er of the Inland Motor Freight Co.
here, who was found Sunday Night
with the top of his head blown off
| by stick If dynamite, might have
been murdered, proved that Flank
had undoubtedly committed suicide.
Fellow wOrkmen were so surpris-
| ed that Flank had taken his own
life in the manner that he apparent
ly had, that added inspection was
made of the body and the tent in
which the act took place. Constable
Jake Myers, Sheriff Vern Adams
and deputy Gordon Nix carefully
went over the tent house but all de-
clared it was suicide.
Flank was found tE Clay Van
Buskirk, his roommate. Van Bus
kirk saw Flank lying on the floor
In the darkness and believed he was
Unconscious. He stepped over the bo-
dy to turn on the light when his
foot slipped through the floor. He
extracted his leg and turned on the
light to see Flanik's badly mutilat-
ed head.
The dynamite stick, which had
ben taken from a box in the COM
pany warehouse, had apparently
been placed on the floor and Flank
had placed his head on it. The ex-
plosion blew a hole in the floor.
A knife with which Flank had
cut the fuse on the dynamite was
missing for a time but it was later
found with the tell-tale black marks
on It.
Police reported that Flank had
been drinking during the afternoon
and had been using. two guns for
squirrel hunting. During the after
noon fellow laborers took the two
weapons away from him.
Flank had been in such a happy
frame of mind, that workmen were
at loss to explain the reason for his
act. He is survived( as far as could
beascertained late yesterday after
noon, by two brothers and two sis
tiers at Qroville and Newport.
