Riggs Bank Case on Trial.
Washington, May r. With the
leading legal lights of New York and
Washington an advocates and hankers
throughout the country as audience;
the famous Riggs bank case came to
trial here today. Charles G. Glover,
president; William J. Flather, vicer
president, and Henry H, Flather,
former cashier of th Riggs National
Bank are answering the charge of
perjury in the District Supreme
Court. The th:ee men , are charged
with testifying falsely that the Riggs
iBank did not engage in stock trans
actions. Back of the case is the fight
that las raged for a year, or since
tha Riggs bank officials charged Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo, Joh
Skelton Williams. Comptroller of the
Cunrency and other Treasury officials
wihi conspiracy 10 wrecK (ne miik.
The bunk officials plead that the
stock transactions, alleged by thu
government to have been with the de
funct Lewis, Johnson & Company in
the name of the bank, were those of,
the bank's customers. Samuel Un
termyer, chief of counsel for the
Treasury officials in the conspiracy
suit, is expected to act in an advisory
capacity to U. S. Attonery Laskiy,
prosecutor. For the bank officials,
the star corportion lawyers of Wash
ington are acting. The fight 'between
Williams and the bank officials has
been 'bitte. Charges of perjury, bad
faith and general undesirablity have
flown back and forth between them
ever since the spring of 1915. Upon
the acquittal of the officials or their
resignation hangs the renewal of the
charter of the Riggs bank one of the
oldest and strongest outside of. New
York." Williams has hinted that he
will not renew the charter if the
present officers remain in charge un
less they are freed of the perjury
charge against them. It is possible
the trial will not be over 'before the
present charter of the bank expires
July 1. The government charges 032
items of stock by dealing by the bank,
the factnhat the company with which
the' transaction allegedly were made
is defunct was another angle expect
ed to be considered. The fact that
the trial started today was a defeat
for the' hank officers, wlho tried ttt
have it advanced on the calendar fc'

pencil and let's do a little figuring.
tAs a dairyman of long experience, what points would you pick
out as most important in a profitable cream separator? FIRST
4. Small Repair Bills Important
Isn't it the truth? A "cheap" separator
is always the most expensive in the end,
on account of the cost of replacing weak
parts, and by reason of lost time and
inconvenience. So now you have reach'
ed the fifth requirement.
Cleanest Skimming Comes First
Right on the first countl That's tha
bull's-eye they are all shooting at; but
some can't even hit the target. Put
down your second point, -
2. Most Sanitary is Next
Sure thing! If a separator cannot be
kept sweet and clean, inside and out,
winter and summer, it is a mighty bad
investment. What's a third require
ment? 3. Must be Easy to Operate
That's correct 1 H a machine takes up
a lot of time and strength to "hitch,
un-hitch, or drive," twice a day, soven
days in the, week, 36S days in the year,
that's the one to pass by ! Vhat next?
5. One without Nest of Funnel Discs
Under the old "bunch of discs" system
the wife can never expect to be relieved
of heavy burden in the dairy. Why not
free her from all but the necessary toil?
6. Must Work from Either' Side
That's a good point too. It makes it
possible to it the separator into any
room. You don't have to moke over the
room to fit the separator.
. NOW SUPPOSE YOU DRAW A LINE, AND ADD UP THE GOOD POINTS.
WHAT DO YOU GET? CORRECT. THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER
''THE UNITED STATES CREAM SEPARATOR."
Don't liny any separator until yoa havo seen THE Separator. I want to muiw you har- It T-f-ltc,
I can prenoh a sermott on any one oi the six points you're mentioned. Call zne np by 'phono,
writo, or come in and see me. '

Early Coal Mining In Oregsn.
' Coal was first noted in the Coos bay
region, Oregon, about sixty yerrs ago,
Trofessor J. S. Newberry having re
ported Iu' 1805 that the coal deposits of
Coos bay hud begun to attract atten
tion, says the United States geological
surveyi The Qrst cargo was shipped
from the Empire basin, but the discov
ery of coal near the head of Coos bay
soon transferred the point of produc
tion to Newport, which remained the
principal mine until the lust decade,
stnee which the Ucnver hill mine baa
been more successfully managed and
become the chief producer. The first
record of coal production is contained
iu the census report of 1880, when 48,
205 short tons were mined.
Spokans River Water Power.
Spokane river rises In western Idaho
and. Sowing west and northwest, dis
charges into Columbia river near Fort
Spokane, Wash. Most of the lands
along Spokane river are agricultural,
and the high lands flunking the canyon
of the river ore used extensively for
raising wheat The Spokane affords a
large amount of power. The highest
spillway dam in existence is erected on
this river, about twenty-four miles
northwest of the city of Spokane. Al
ready 57,000 horsepower bus been de
veloped on the river, and two additional
plants are projected, at each of which
20,000 horsepower can be developed.
