There has been ' a decline, however, of
about $30,000,000 In the last 13 months,
due to the draft that -was made oa the
Natonal banks for money to meet the
Panama obligations. Otherwise this
Item would probably at the date of the
last call been in the neighborhood of
$150,000,000. The Government revenues
have so largely increased during the two
Republican- Administrations "that the
Treasury was forced to Increase its de
posits with National backs, or e'lso cre
ate a money stringency.
The fact that there are 5331 National
banks in the United States today, as
compared to only 3634 on March 9, jlS97,
is due in u great degreeo to wise legisla
tion enacted by a recent Republican Con--gress,
and approved by President Mc
Kinley. This legislation permits the es
tablishment of National banks; with only,
$25,000 capital, and thus enables rural-
communities and small towns to receive
the advantages of local National banks.
TEAVEESE GEEAT BELT.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 3L When the resources of
the National banks of a great country
Increase more than 92 per cent, when the
Individual deposits in those banuks double
themselves, and there is a growth of
more than 19 per cent in their capitali
zation, and all this takes places In seven
years, It must be set down as an incon
trovertible fact that that country is en
Joying an era of phenomonal prosperity.
This is exactly what has happened In
the United States in the seven years the
Republicans have had undisputed control
of the Government, since 1S97. .
While commercial and postal statistics
given an excellent idea of business con
ditions, there is no better index of a
Nation's growth than bank reports. These
reports are based on facts and figures,
which cannot be manipulated for effect
They speak for themselves.
A Striking Instance.
A comparison of the report of the con
dition of National banks on March 9,
1S97, fiye days after McKinley's inaugu
ration, xwith the latest report made to
Controller RIdgeley on June 9, 1904,
discloses abaundant evidence of a condi
tion of exceptional prosperity and com
mercial development. The one report re
flects a general lack of confidence, a
scarcity of money, and a general fear;
the other bears evidence of. the abund
ance of money, of the growing confi
dence of depositors, and the confidence
of the banks themselves which are today
loaning vast .sums.
On March 9. 1S97, seven years ago, the
total capital stock of the 3C34 National
banks then In existence was $612,424,195,
while on June 9 last the 5331 banks of
the country had an aggregate capitaliza
tion amounting to $767,376,148, an increase
of $124,953,953. In 1897 the surplus fund
aggregated $247,120,031; at .the date of last
report it had grown to $389,647,328, an in
crease of $142,517,307.
As the surplus fund of each National
bank is In reality an essential part of
its capital, though not liable to assess
ment In the event of insolvency, as the
capital stock is, there was the enormous
sum of $1,157,025,536 Invested In National
banking on the 9th of last June, an in
crease of $267,471,310 for seven years, or
nearly $34,000,000 a year Increase. But
the combined capital stock and surplus
fund of National banks do not really rep
resent the actual value of these institu
tions, as the stock of every solvent bank
In the country will sell for more than its
par value with the surplus fund added.
How Banks Have Grown.
The resources of our National banks
have practically doubled in the last seven
years. In 1897 the aggregate National
bank resources amounted to $3,446,038,799.13;
on the date of the last report the re
sources had reached $6,655,9SS,6SC.63, an in
crease of $3,209,949,887.50. That increase,
It may be noted, is very nearly equal to
xne aggregate deposits at the present
time.
In the seven-year period the loans and
discounts have increased from $1,8S6,262,
264.33 to $3,595,013.47, a gain of $1,70S,-
i;au.u, or something In excess of SO
per cent.
xne largest proportionate gain ob
served , in the returns of the National
banks is found in the individual deposits.
These grew from $1,659,219,961.28, in 1897,
to $3,312,439,840.99. in June of the present
year, an Increase of $1,643,219,879.71, or
something in excess of 98 per cent. For
all practical purposes this was a doub
ling up in seven years. A strong evi
dence of the confidence of the people.
This item of individual deposits, taken in
connection with loans and discounts, is
especially significant as evidencing bus!
ness growth In the Nation.
On March 9, 1897, the National banks of
the country held $231,610,600 worth of
United States bonds to secure circulation,
and had National bank notes to the
amount of $202,655,403 outstanding. On
the 9th of June last they held $409,977,250
worth of United States bonds to secure
circulation, and had $699,5S3,837.50 of Na
tional bank notes in circulation. That is
an increase of $178,366,650 of bonds for
4 circulating purposes and of $496,92S,434.50
of National bank notes in circulation. The
increase in circulation snows tne en
larged demand for money for business
purposes.
Abundance of Evidence.
A striking thing about the reports of
National banks is found In the returns
of United States bonds on deposit to se
cure Government deposits. Seven years
ago the total was only $15,178,250, while
on June 9 last it had grown to $110,511,
S10, almost seven times the first figure.
This increase is due to the policy of the
Treasury Department in enlarging its
deposits of public money with National
banks in order to keep money in clrcu
Russian Cruisers With Torpedo-Boat3
In Danish Waters. '
COPENHAGEN, July 31. Two Russian
cruisers and two torpedo-boats have
traversed the Great Belt, going north
wards. The Great Belt Is a wide channel con
necting the Baltic and the North Seas. It
separates Fuenan, the second largest of
the Danish Islands, from Zealand, the
largest of the Danish Islands, and the
Sound between Zealand arid South
Sweden.
A dispatch to the London Dally Mail
from its Copenhagen correspondent April
12 last said that the visit of King Ed
ward to the Danish capital had resulted in
the beginning of negotiations for a new
treaty between Great Britain, Denmark
and Russia, replacing the conventions
with Denmark concluded by the late Em
peror Alexander HI. It was understood
that the proposed arrangement would se
cure the neutrality of Denmark in the
event of an Anglo-Russian conflict, or at
least that the Great Belt would be de
clared neutral in the event of such con
flict. A dispatch from Copenhagen of July 12
said that King Christian had decided to
issue a neutrality proclamation which
would be immediately communicated to
Russia and Japan. Though ships of the
combatants could not be forbidden to pass
the channels connecting the Baltic and
the North Seas, should their warships vio
late the laws of neutrality within Danish
waters, Denmark would be prepared to re
sist according to the dispatch.
HEW Y0BK SUBWAY STEIKE.
Effort to Patch Up Quarrel of Rival
Unions.
NEW YORK,, July 31. It is- said
here today that if the members of the
union who are held responsible for the
strike in the subway do not adjust
matters promptly, a general lockout
may be ordered by the Building Trades
Employers' Association, to be followed
by an attempt to establish an open
shop.
At the meting of the' Central Fed
eral Union a more conciliatory attitude
was adopted. At the close of the se
cret session, it was announced that a
committee had been appointed to bring
about an amalgamation of the two
painters' unions the Brotherhood of
Painters and the Amalgamated Paint
ers' Society, whose fight, one against
the oth'er, led to the subway strike.
If a general lockout is ordered, be
tween 25,000 and 30,000 men in greator
New York, will be affected.

DENVER, July 3L Attorneys H. N.
Hawkins and John H. Murphy, counsel
for the Western Federation of Miners, are
devising ways and means to enable the
deported Cripple Creek miners to return
to their homes. Papers are being drawn
and application will be made to some
"court, possibly the Federal Court, for an
Injunction restraining the Citizens' Al
liance and Mlneowners' Association from
interfering with any deportees who re
turn to the Cripple Creek district.
The Western .Federation officials are
also making arrangements to reopen the
union stores In Cripple Creek and Victor

June 6 and 7.
Sheriff Edward Bell, of Teller County,
has advised against the reopening of the
stores or the return of deportees, fearing
that such action will lead to violence.

BIDS BEGIN TODAY
Choice Timber Lands Opened
for Settlement
PART OF GRAND RON DETRACT
Conditions Un'derWhich 26,000 Acres
on Indian Reservation. In the Wil
lamette Valley Can Be Se
cured From- Government. ,
OREGON CITY, Or., July 3L (Special.)
Beginning at 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing and continuing until 11 o'clock, Mon
day, August 8, the Government will re
ceive bids through the Oregon City Land
Office for the sale of 26,000 acres of choice
Umber lands on the Grand Ronde Indian
reservation that have been thrown, open
to settlement. While no bids have as yet
been filed with the officers of the local
Land Office, the officials have received let
ters of inquiry from every state in the
Union, Indicating that there will be. a live
ly contest in the bidding for the lands.
These lands that are to be disposed of at
public- auction represent the remainder
of the original reservation that was set
aside for the Indians who have received
their respective allotments, the rest hav
ing been ceded back to the Government.
The lands that are being auctioned are lo
cated northwest and southwest of the
Grand Ronde agency. The bids will be
opened at 1 o'clock P. M., Monday, Au
gust 8. After being properly indorsed,
they( will be forwarded to the Commis
sioner of the General Land Office, who
will announce the successful bidders.
One Bidder May Get Entire Tract.
By the conditions under which the sale
of these lands is to be had, it is stipu
lated that no bid wllL be accepted at a less
rate than.$L25 an acre, and the sale must
bring the Government at least $28,000. It
is required that individual bids be submit
ted for each tract. If the aggregate of- the
bids for these separate tracts does not
exceed a bid that may be made by a sin
gle person or corporation, for the entire
tract of 26,000 acres, thereby the terms of
the sale, a. single speculator will acquire
the title to all the lands embraced in the
tract Such a result is liable to attend
the sale of these lands.
It will be natural that the individual bid
der will select the most desirable tracts.
Few bids. If any, on other less valuable
tracts will be offered and herein lies the
opportunity for a single individual or cor
poration of a speculative turn of mind
to so manipulate his bids as to acquire
the title to the entire tract which em
braces some valuable timber- lands.
By making a rough bid of $28,500 or
$29,000 for the 26,000 acres, it is not Im
probable that the offer will exceed the ag
gregate of the bids that may be made for
individual tracts, and thus the speculator,
under the conditions of the sale, may be
come the purchaser of all of the lands to
the exclusion of honest homeseekers
whose strife for the most desirable tracts
may cost them all the opportunity of be
coming the possessors of some of Oregon's
most valuable lands.
Bid on Separate Tract.
In bidding for these lands, the bidder
must bid on separate tracts. There are In
the 26,000 acres about 190 tracts that range
from 40 to 178 acres each." The offers for
each tract are kept separate and apart
and the sale is made to the best bidder.
that is, provided the aggregate of the bids
for individual tracts exceeds all bids that
may bo made for the entire tract.
Bidding on the lands is a simple matter
On application the necessary blanks, to-
gether with a schedule of the tracts is
furnished at the local Land Offlce. The
schedule shows not only the lands to be
sold but also gives a description of the
several tracts. Bidders are cautioned to
exercise great care in making the cor
rect description of the lands they seek
to purchase when submitting a bid.
A check on a National bank, equal to
one-fifth of the amount of the bid must
accompany each offer, the same to revert
to the Government if it is discovered that
the bidder is not a citizen of the United
States. If the bid is accepted the amount
of the check is applied on the purchase
price and the balance of the bidbecomes
due and payable within 30 days after the
sale.
All Bids May Be Rejected.
The Government reserves the right to
reject any or all bids that may be offered.
A certificate of ownership to the land wlU
issue from the Government to the indi
vidual purchaser through the General
Land Office when the balance of the pur
chase price has been made. All bids must
be addressed "to the Register and Re
ceiver of the -United States Land Office,
Oregon City, Or.," and the envelope must
not bear anything that will Indicate the
tract for which a bid has been made or the
amount of the bid.

0EEG0N AT ST. LOUIS.
State Exhibit Attracts Much Favor
able Comment.
BY. W. H. WEHRUNG.
ST. LOUIS, July 27. (Special Corro-
sponlence.) Although 2000 miles from
home and handicapped by a comparatively
small state appropriation, Oregon nas an
exhibit at St. Louis that would be
credit to any state in the Union. The va
rious departments are under tho charge
of capable superintendents and all the
displays havo been installed in such an
attractive manner that they never fall
to interest World's Fair visitors.
Never have such disadvantages been
overcome in securing the state exhibit,
and never before in the history of Ore
gon's participation In American expos!
tions have the efforts of those in charge
of tho showings been crowned with such
success as has been attained at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition.
Oregon has had exhibits at every eel
ebratlon held in tho United States in the
last decade, but her crowning triumph
has been at St Louis, where she has in
stalled a display that represents every
branch of Industry and resource existing
within her boundaries.
Oregon's .displays are divided into six
departments, exclusive of the state build
inc. which contains no exhibits other
than those generally placed in state struc
tures. These six departments are mining,
educational, agricultural, horticultural,
forestry and fish and game. Each of these
exhibits Is In its respective exhibit palace
The Oregon building Itself is one of the
most interesting state structures at the
Fair, and holds a high record for visitors,
nearly 10.000 having registered since the
opening day. It was built at a cost of
$10,000 and is a replica of Fort Clatsop, the
first building erected on the Pacific Coast
by American citizens, being constructed
by the great explorers, Meriwether Lewis
and William Clark, on the seashore in
Northwestern Oregon, a little more than
100 miles from the place where the City of
Portland. Is now located.
Lewis and Clark started on . their long
journey to the Pacific Ocean from St.
Louis in 1804, and, after spending one
Winter on their way, reached Oregon and
the mouth of the Columbia River in ISOa.
They built Fort Clatsop In that year and
used It as a dwelling and a defense
against the Indians during the Winter of
1S05-G. starting on their return trip to
the States In the Spring of 1805.
Tn onnnliAratfrtTi nf thtv fnnt- tTinf 'Pnrf.
1 land intends to "celebrate the centennial
of this memorable journey by the Lewis
and Clark Exposition in the Summer o
1905, the Oregon. State Commission, which
has charge of the state exhibits, botn at
St. Louis and at Portland, decided to
erect at St. Louis as the state building a
reproduction of the famous fort and stock
ade. The original, built so many years
ago, has of course long since crumbled
away, and the only thing that now re
mains to remind the seaside vlsltora or
the presence of Lewis and Clark Is a salt
cairn used by the explorers to evaporate
sea water to procure table salt. This pile
of boulders has been fenced in and will
be properly cared for by the Oregon His
torical Society.
The Oregon, building Is made of fir and
pine logs brougnt all the way from Ore
gon, and Is the first state building this
Western commonwealth has ever had at
any exposition. The interior Is finished
in beautiful native woods fir, pine, larch.
spruce and cedar and the long fine grain
and the absence of ugly knots in the
planking never fail to . elicit favorable
comment from vlsltora who know good
lumber when they see it. - Realizing that
the St. Louis Exposition would be the
greatest Fair the world has ever seen, or
prooaDly ever will see, and that tnis
would be the first time the state was rep
resented by a building of her own, tho
commission has taken pains to erect a
building to contain features of interest.
That this idea has been carried out is
attested by the large crowds that' have
thronged the Oregon building ever since
opening day.
The main room is filled with magnificent
Views of Oregon's justly famed scenery.
Indian robes and other articles of inter
est. One side is comnletelv filled by a
large fireplace that can accommodate
enrrinnnd with Tlrrtlv over the
fireplace is a 15-foot panorama of" Port
land, tne Exposition City of 1905, show
ing snow-capped peaks and the beautiful
Willamette River and the surrounding
country.
In addition to the main reception-room
there are four office-rooms which also
contain interesting articles-from Oregon
In the rear is a stockade 100 feet square,
with bastions at the two outer corners
The nearest exhibit to the state build
ing Is the mining display in the south
corner of the Palace of Mines and Metal
lurgy. This display is the best mining
exhibit ever got together by the state,
and represents Oregon's mining industry
in the most complete manner.
The most Important and interesting part
of the display in the Mining Palace is
the pure gold showing. A large goldbrick
from an Eastern Oregon mine weighs 63
ounces, and is worth $18 an ounce. It
Isn't the kind of a goldbrick you read
about, either; If s pure gold and -is valued
at close to $1200. There are several thou
sand dollars' worth of. pure gold In smal
ler pieces and In dust, and $5000 worth of
o per cent gold quartz, worth $15 an
ounce. It la within the last few years
only that Oregon's mines have reached a
high stage of development, and this Is
the first opportunity mlneowners have
had of. showing how extensive are the
mineral resources of the state. Displays
of Iron, silver, copper, cinnabar, from
which mercury Is extracted; kaolin, from
which porcelain Is made; asbestos, cobalt.
tin. nickel, zinc and a dozen other Inter
esting minerals are on display for visit
ors' inspection.
The educational exhibit embraces many
bound volumes of school work, pictures
of all types of public and private learn
ing institutions in the state, and" ex
amples of manual training. All of the
display ranks high with other states, and
shows that work done by Oregon students
is as good as work done by students in
any part of the country. The exhibit Is
tastily Installed, and particular pains
have been taken to make It attractive.
The forestry, fish and game displays are
better at St. Louis than they were at
Chicago. In fact, the Oregon forestry ex
hibit at Chicago had practically no large
logs or timbers, while at St Louis tha
state boasts the largest on the grounds-
A. fir Jog, 30 feet long and nlne.ifeet "Slxr,
Inches through at the butt Is one! of tho
features. This log is one of seven cu-
from the same tree, which contained
something more than 40,000 feet B. MI oi
lumber. The tree grew at .Blind biougn,
Clatsop County, and stood 200 feet to
the first limb rather large In the eyes
of the Easterners, but nothing unusual
In Oregon. Another feature Is a squared
timber, four feet by four at tne ena, ana
42 feet long. Then there are some big
cedar blocks from North Bend, coos
County, cut by the Simpson Lumber Com
pany.
All these big sticks are in tne outside
forestry exhibit, while the display of
polished native woods is insiae, aiong
with the fish and. game exhibits. The
latter show every variety of game bird
In Oregon, Including bob white, several
kinds of quail, grouse, partridge, ptar
migan, prairie chickens, sage hens, Ore
gon pheasants ind the beautiful ring
necked pheasant, which a few years ago
was imported from Chlca, and is now the
most nlentlful game bird In Oregon, bai
mon In glass jars and bottles showing
the various stages in the development oi
tho fish from the egg are also shown
Probably the finest collection of grains
and grasses In the Palace or Agricul
ture Is in the Oregon display. In addi
tion to this display, there is a magnifi
cent collection of edible and non-edime
fruit in bottler, hops In bales, and other
farm -products.
The horticultural display, wnicn is
closely associated with the agricultural
showing, has become famous on account
of the dally demonstrations of Oregon
nrunes. which are cooked without sugar
and served cola, uney are Eaia to do tne
finest prunes grown in the United States,
and thousands ot pounds of them are
shinned to France every year, where they
are repacked arid sent back to America
to command fancy prices. A recent re
port of an American Consular agent in
the "interior of France calls attention to
this extensive practice on the part or
tho wily Frenchman.
Oregon Is also justly lamed as tne
Land of the Big Red Apple," and her
showing along this line is also good. Last
year .the state shipped 50 carloads' of
this fruit and it will produce even a
larger crop this year.
Orerron cherries are now on display.
One of the cherry judges who recently
Dassed by the exhibit sampled the BIng
and the Black Kepuoncan, ana an
nounced that they were the finest cher
ries he had ever seen. In Missouri the
Black Republican is known as the ore-,
gon, because It was originated in the
Western state, xne istng is aiso a na
tive of Oregon. Taking all In all, Oregon
has an exhibit of which her people should
be oroud. Her displays do her credit at
this great Exposition and attract uni
versal attention. The state win receive
great benefit from the Fair, and the
money appropriated for the exhibits will
bring manifold returnB to the people of
Oregon.
