Western Governors Demand Two More Regional Ranks Denver Governors of seven state», delegate» to th« Western Governors’ conference In session here, went on record with a demand on congress for the establishment of two more region al bank» one In the Pacific North west and the other in the Rocky Moun tain states. The action was taken on motion of Governor Ernest Lister, of Washing ton and was concurred in by Gover nors Ta»ker L. Oddie, Nevada; Joseph M. Carey, Wyoming; Oswald West, Oregon; John M Haines, Idaho; Wil liam Spry, Utah, and E. M. Ammons, Colorado. Governors Lister, West and Haines were appointed as a committee to draft resolution» in conformity with the motion as passed. It was Governor Carey who broached the question of the regional reserve banks. “I think the gentlemen who fixed the places for these banks forgot the West," he said. "We discovered in 1907 that it was not so much the own ership of money that counted, but the fact that the East held all our money. A bank has been placed in Boston; another in New York, another in Richmond nobody knows any reason for placing it In Richmond. The Un ion Pacific railroad haw no convenient banking facilities. "To us in Wyoming, San Francisco is more foreign than London, and we have no business relation» nt all with Kansas City.

New York Dr. Alexis Carrel, head of the Rockefeller Institute and win ner of a Nobel prize fur science, dis cussed Saturday his latest experiment in surgery of the heart before the American Surgical association. These experiments were performed on dogs, with the idea of developing methods and technique which can now be suc cessfully applied to human subjects. "In several recent instances," Dr. Carrel said. "I have succeeded in clamping en masse the neck or pedicle of the heart, thus shutting off the cir culation of the blood for two or three minutes and giving opportunity for a rapid opeartion on the aortic and pul monary valves. After the operation was completed and the clamp» re moved, the heart resumed its pulsa tion, and after a short time the pulsa tions become regular. An interrup tion of circulation for a much longer period is undoubtedly possible, so that operations of a more complicated na ture could be performed. "In no case were there any acci dents nor was there any need of mas saging the heart when the interrup tion of the circulation did not exceed two and one-third minutes. The val ves were generally exposed by an in cision about an inch and a half long, made half in the pulmonary artery and half on the ventricle of the heart. ” V ----- - College Gives Directions for Swat-the-Fly Campaign Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis.—Instead of waiting for the fife» to gain entrance into the house before systematic attempt Is made to eradi cate the fly nuisance, the new method outlined by the Entomological depart ment of the college seeks to destroy the fly before it reaches the house at all. The two general methods by which this Is to be accomplished are doing away with breeding places and by catching the flies that do emerge before they have a chance to lay their eggs. The first is considered to be by far the most important. In carrying it brought to the attention of the cham ber of commerce and an effort made to get them to enact such ordinances as are necessary to secure a complete cleaning up. It is recognized that while a large majority of the progres sive citizens of any community will perform this cleaning up work when the necessity for it Is pointed out, it is also well to consider that there are a few persons living in almost every community who will not do so until they are compelled by law, and in order to make the plan a success it has to be complied with without ex ception. The next step is to secure funds for carrying out the plans. Money is need ed to buy campaign literature, award The Dalles, Or.—A terrific explos ion, which shook the earth for a wide radius, left dead and mangled bodies in its wake and wrought partial de struction to nearby surface works, oc curred at The Dalles-Celilo canal works, one and a half miles east of Big Eddy, at 11:40 o’clock Wednesday morning, when the government’s mam moth "40” steam excavating shovel struck what is believed to have been an immense charge of dynamite, which, it is thought, had "missed fire" in blasting operations. Four men, Edward Kendler, Alex Lind, Ed Ryan and C. Odrich, were instantly killed by the terrific impact of the explosion or died immediately afterward; while other workmen were frightfully cut and bruised, though none of them, it is believed, will die. The exact quantity of dynamite ex ploded is not known, but it must have been of considerable proportions, judged by its death-dealing force and the havoc it wrought. A large number of pitmen were at work in the face of the excavation, going ahead of the steam shovel, drill ing the holes for the dynamite blast ing, while others were engaged around the steam shovel loading the loosened dirt that had been scattered by the dynamite blasts or not picked up by the steam shovel.
