New Record Set by
Clearings at Banks

With check clearings Of $l9,lO3,OO0
during December, Bismarck ranked
ahead OF all but three other cities in
the near Northwest, according to in
formation released by the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve bank, which complies
business statistics for this area.
The result Is clearly to class Bis
marck as the best business city Of its
size IN the northwest and possibly one
OF the best IN the nation.
Leading the list was MINNEAPOLIS.
With clearings of $3l6,48O,0OO. Next
N order came ST. Paul with SAL
$4,000; Duluth with SGT, 1875 900 and
Bismarck. The area included in the
district comprises Northern Michi-
gan. Minnesota. Montana, North Da-
kota. South Dakota and northwest.
ern Wisconsin.
Check clearings here made the
biggest advance In history from Nov
ember to December, rising from
SlO,l34,O0O to $19,l03,OOO during the
period. Local bankers could give no
reason for this phenomenal increase.
Both figures show marked improves
ment over 1888. when $7,457 900 was
cleared during November and $8.788.-
600 during December.
Closest competitor to Bismarck in
North Dakota was Fargo with $l3.-
$1,000 Tor December and $l3,467 900
Tor November. No other North Da-
kota city approached the five-million
mark.

he ran the forestry sail and the jib up, and
hoisted the mainsail. When the schooner was

Orion swung into the middle of the stream
and passed under Brooklyn Bridge.
In the channel between the Battery and
Governors Island the harbor patrol, Viper,
went by under full speed The crew of the
vessel stared clriously at the Orion, but
Blair waved his hand at the bridge, and the
commander gave him a blast of recognition
and kept going.

hestatue of Liberty was far astern. Ambrose
light blinked in the distance. He felt the
Orion rise on gentle swells. An incoming
liner took the wind out of his sails for a
moment, then the schooner keeled to the
breeze and headed for the open sea.
Clear of Ambrose Light, he steered south
for certain spot off the Jersey coast where
the water was deep enough so that the Orion
could be sunk without being menace to
shipping. The place was some ten miles off
shore He'd be there in three hours if the wind
held. In less if it freshened.

1t was falling faster than ever 1t meant but
one thing. An equinoctial gale was in progress
from the East. The wind might change at any
minute. Under short sails as he was, he would
have hard time to keep from being driven
ashore on the Jersey coast. Some officious
coast guard cutter would make it its business
to save him.
1t was not that he wanted to go down

fireworks disgusted him. He simply wanted
to quit. Martha had gone that way.

schooner moved in the cutwater of passing

He wound the chronometer and noted that
it was past ten o'clock. Looked at the baro-
meter and saw that it was falling fast. An
equinoctial gale was on the way. The tide
would change at eleven. BY midnight it would
be running out swiftly.
He went forward and lit the side lights,
pulled the gangway in and took the lantern
down. The wind was from the North, blowing
down channel from Hell Gate. He loosened
the fore staysail, the fore and mainsails and
reefed them double; looked to the halyards.
then went below and brewed himself pot of
coffee.
There was no bravado in what he meant to
do He was conscious Of no exalted emotion.
He had seen too much of life, stripped, to be
impressed by melodrama - even of his own
making. He drank his black coffee with zest.
speculating not at all upon the fact that this
cup would be his last.
Drinking his coffee he went over in detail
his activities of the day. He had forgotten
nothing. The insurance on the Orion was
cancelled. He had gone to the Office Of the
company and had attended to it personally.
Likewise his small life insurance He wanted
no man to lose by his act
The decks were cleared. He was free, as
he had always been, to do as he wished -
except on one count He was violating the law
in leaving port without clearance papers and
in defiance of the authorities. If they caught
him, it would mean the loss of his masters

September night filled the narrow street as
with pestilence. The push-cart men were
gathering up their unsold wilted wares, leav-
ing behind them putrid litter for the night
creatures of the city.

escapes was no novelty to him. He had been
coming in and out of the port of New York
for forty-odd years. At the stupidity of land
dwellers huddling together in rabbit wanens
when the sea was wide and free, he merely
shrugged his shoulders.
Every dollar he had earned in his life had
come from the sea. He could understand the
simple process by which he had done so, and
the moving of the fruits and grains which the
earth bore from one hungry city to another.
but he had never tried to understand the
intricacy of modern economics, by which mil
lions of people seemed to carry on by merely
taking in each others washing.
And now he was facing something like that,
hins elf In his breast pocket was the letter
from the authorities of the port of New York
that put a period to his long and independent
life as a sailor. The Orion had been con-
demned as unfit. He had been told that
clearance papers would never be issued for
her again, but was advised that he might sell
her as barge. If the Orion ever went
out to sea again, it would be at the end of
tug boat s hawser, shorn of her slender top
maStS.
He had known of course that the day would
sometime come Nevertheless, the irrevocable
fnality of it stunned him. At the age of
seventy-one, he was suddenly deprived of a
living. Had he identified himself in his youth
with shipping company, he'd long ago have
been eligible for pension. But he had chosen
the freedom of owning his own ship and taking
his chances There had been many lean years,
but he had been free. Now, he must pay for
all those glorious free years.
1t had been worth it. At no time in his
life could any man have laid finger upon
him and said: John Blair you belong to
me"
Evening star., 1935-11-24

He had followed the call of fortune into
strange seas. Had run the Boer War blockade
off Delgoa Bay under soaring freight rates. In
the Alaskan gold rush he had made more
money out of freighting eggs and bacon to the
hungry miners of the Klondike than any of
them took from their claims. The Orion had
rocked on the gentle swells of the Gulf of
Papua while Singhalese divers gathered pearls
under her slender hull. She had staggered into
the port of Sidney, Australia, under the
Southern Cross, laden to the plin,soll mark
with copra and trepang.
Those had been golden years. And now it
was all over.
Like all men of his adventurous tempera-
ment, he had saved nothing. Yet he had not
been a spendthrift in the epithetical sense of
the word. He was not drinking man. He
issued Uog to himself with his crew and drank
readily with his friends and to seal a bargain.
He had gambled, but only for relaxation, and
always with the full knowledge that his
chances of winning were not more than one
tenth of one per cent above zero.
He had not the slightest illusion about his
own kind. He knew that all men were little
rotten. His was the healthy pessimism of a
man who liked his fellows, but trusted none
ofthem. He considered life great adventure,
and he had looked death in the eyes too often
to be afraid of it. He had never deluded him
self that the adventure would be carried over
into that state.
There had been few women in his life, and
only one who had made lasting impression
on him - Martha An adventurer like him
self, full of the zest of life. A woman who
could stand flat-footed and kiss him. Blue
eyed, tawny-haired and lusty like himself
They had done and seen strange things to-
gether.
She had gone overheard in typhoon in
the China Sea. He had hove to for two days
searching for her. Had almost lost his life and
his ship in doing so, then had gone on without
tear. She'd have done as much and - as
little Twenty years together had been better
than either had bargained for. A full life
without regret.

the star has been an oil Million

UP TO SAN DIEGO

San Diego is inviting the world to come
and visit it this summer for the purpose
of seeing the exposition which has been
planned.
When visitors drop in Unexpectedly,
dirty house is perhaps eXcusable, but
when visitors have been invited to call,
to have dirty house is ineXcusable and
a downright insult to ones guests as
we'll as grave reflection on ones own
sense of propriety.
San Diego has dirty house Even its
most loyal citizens must admit it.
Its mayor has just been convicted on
a felony charge; serious accusations have
been made by the grand jury against its
city attorney; its police department is
weak and inefficient if one wishes to be
little charitable about it and refrain
from tagging it with downright corrup-
ton; it strains at the gnat and swallows
the camel by perpetual squabbling over
petty forms of gambling, which might
well be termed of no great detriment to
society, while series of shocking major
crimes over a period of years have gone
unsolved
1t is governed by politicians, who from
ali indications are more concerned with
what they can get out of it for themselves
tudH IHey are dUOul SeINIIiS CnelI CITY,
developing its wonderful resources and
making it the city it should be.
Certainly there ought to be enough
loyal San Diego men and women, with
pride in their city and with the desire to
see it relieved of the undesirable burden
it is bearing, to rise up and demand a
housecleaning of its city government,
sweeping away all the petty little graft
ers and ward politicians and putting civic
control of the city in the hands of those
who can demand and obtain the support
of the better element
We believe, if San Diego cannot real
ize that it owes it to itself to put its house
in order before inviting outsiders to visit
that it should do so for the sake of the
rest of California. 1t is asking the rest
of the state to support its exposition
and rightly expects that this should be
given. But it should not be surprised if
such support is lukewarm. 1t is diff
cult to grow enthusiastic about beau
tiful sunset if messy trash heap is be-
tween one and the sun. San Diego should
get rid of its trash heap and it can't do
it too soon.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SHADOW

One morning when Uncle Wig

asked him:
"Do you know what it is to-

cit is Saturday." answered the
rabbit gentleman. "No school for

Well, of course, it's Saturday, -
admitted Mrs. Longears. But it
is also something else. This is the
second of February. Candlemas day
it is called and it is supposed,
around here, to mark the middle of

"What did that mean?'' asked
Uncle Wiggily.
''My grandfather said,'' his wife
answered, "that as Candlemas day
was the middle or half of the WIN
ter. there should be left half the
pork and half the hay to last the
remainder of the winter. Farmers,
you know, eat lot of pork in win

q lot of hay. So this is Candlemas
cay. But there is another story
about it. -
