SEATTLE HAS CUT
OUT THE PADDING
Negotiations at the Clearing
house Will Hereafter Pro
ceed on Cash Basis.
CRITICISM IS TOO STRONG
For Many Years the Day's Balances
Have Been Swollen by-Cheeks
Carried Over From
Day to Day.
"SliATTLE. Wash!,- Nov. 4 (Special.)
Seattle" has- abandoned the practice of
payinfc balances by check and Is con
ducting Its clearing-house negotiations on
a cash basis, because adverse criticism
aronscd such a storm that the clearing
house banks finally decided that the city
ought . to. adopt . the. standard recognized
by the larger and more important finan
cial centers.
For little more than half a month the
change has been effective and Glearlng
House Manager J. V. A. Smith estimates
that the clearlnRS show a decrease of
between 15 and 20 per .pent as a result.
The difference represents what Seattle
used to gain when the banks 6ent clearing-house
checks collected for balances
due through on the following day. The
swollen balances that were formerly made
a part of the next day's clearings have
dlpappeared and a comparison of Seattle's
clearings can be made understanding In
those communities which long ago adopt
ed the cash payment system.
Change Was Long Discussed.
The clearing-house banks have been
talking about the change for more than
six months, and a committee spent half
a year figuring out a plan to change from
the check system to the dally payment
plan. There is not much of an effort made
now to conceal the fact that the check
system was an alluring plan in the days
when the swelling of bank clearings
meant an advertising gain.
The actual growth -of buF'.neea is enough
now to make a respectable and even an
enthusiastic showing, and Seattle banks
yielded to the criticism of an unfair clear
ing scheme. ' From a new niche on the
pinnacle of rectitude Seattle is engaged
In looking down upon Tacoma, where the
clearing-house clings to the check plan.
Portland criticism of the old system
probably had as much to do with the
change as anything else. The fact that
Portland paid balances in cash was the
first argument suggested yesterday in ex
planation for the Seattle change. That
Eastern cities had approved this plan long
ago was of secondary consideration.
Hanks Make Gold Deposit.
Dexter, Horton & Co. happened to have
an- unused safe and a window that could
be spared at certain ttmee of the day.
Bo the banks agreed to deposit $l,2o0,000
In that vault and to issue clearing-house
certificates against it.- These certificates
run In value from M00 to tMX, any
smaller sums than ' $1000 being paid in
cash. Every day Dexter, Horton & Co.
give up the u3 of one cage for the ex
change of clearing-house certificates and
the adjustment of balances on a cash
basis.
The gold reserve will probably never
be disturbed and the actual transfer of
cash will be light. But there is an In
terchange of credits thaf does not show
in the clearings and which keeps the
hanks practically on a cash basis in their
relation with each other.
Table Shows Loss of Padding.
The estimate Manager Smith makes
that a loss of between 13 and 0 per cent
in made by tho change can he seen from
the following comparisons. The clearing
house adopted the new rule October 18.
On that day there were carried over bal
ances that figured In the-clearings, so it
was not until October 19 that the effect
of tho enforcement of' the rule is appar
ent. The record of daily clearings, for
October, 1905 and ir06. read with this fact
in mind is interesting. It follows:

HEAVY GALE OFF COAST
BREAKS AT ASTORIA WITH
ELECTRICAL STORM.
Steamer Aztec Pours OH on Waves
While Crossing Bar Sights Big
Steamer Off Columbia.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) The
force of the gale that has been raging
off the Oregon Coast for several days,
struck this city this morning and was
accompanied by a severe electrical storm.
This evening the glass Is going up
steadily and the conditions are favorable
for better weather tomorrow.
The steamer Ajrtec which arrived to
day from San Francisco, reports encoun
tering a heavy blow all the way up the
Coast. She arrived off the mouth of the
river this morning and came in; over a
breaking bar. Oil was poured . overboard
while crossing in but several seas broke
over the vessel.
About 5 o'clock this morning the Aztec
sighted a big steamer loaded some dis
tance south of the mouth of the river,
but did not learn her name.
STORM RAGES ALONG COAST
Gale Attains a Velocity of Seventy
Two Miles an Hour.
The storm which has been brewing off
the Coast for the' past day or two de
veloper! into a hurricane yesterday morn
ing. In the early hours of the day a
wind velocity of 72 miles an. hour was
recorded at Cape Disappointment. To
wards evening the gale subsided, 48 miles
being the maximum at 5 o'clock.
Even at this, however, the steamers
Asuncion and Northland, lying in Astoria
and ready to go out, preferred to He In
the harbor rather than to poke their
noses into the storm raging outside.
As a result of the gale- there was no
outward bound shipping yesterday but it
was reported at 5 o'clock that a four
masted and a three-masted schooner had
sailed into the lower harbor.
Nothing more has been seen of the four
masted bark reported off the mouth of
the river on Friday and- which was
thought to have been the overdue
Inverna. In view of the severity of the
present gale it is not thought likely that
this bark will ehow up again for several
days at least.
Gale Did No Damage to Iredale.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.)
Captain Lawrence, of the stranded bark
Peter Iredale, reports that his vessel
was not injured by the recent gale. She
has shifted her position until she Is
headed nearly to the northwest, and
lies broadside on the beach.
Anchors have been placed to hold her
bow, in the hope that her stern will
swing around until she Is head on to
the seas. There is a hole In her hull,
and the water rises and falls in her
hold with the tide, but where the hole
is has not been discovered.
Marine Xotes.
The British ship Stronsa and the French
ship Marechal de Castries arrived up yes
terday, both in ballast, and are lying in
the stream. The Stronsa is under charter
to Balfour. Guthrie & Co. and the
Mareeha! de Castries will load for Kerr
Oifford & Co.
The Aztec, at present on the Portland
San Francisco run. left up from Astoria
lust nisht and will reach her tacrth at the
Alnsworth clock early this morning. She
brings 5500 tons of freight, a record cargo
on the Frisco run.

I ADVOCATE

of Power of Remonstrance
Now Allowed.
There is a strong sentiment among the
municipal authorities' favoring the amend
ment of the city charter to provide for the
improvement of streets by districts.
Coupled with this 4s a proposal to repeal
the two-thirds remonstrance clause which
at present gives property-owners the
power to block arbitrarily street Improve

ceiving considerable attention from mem-

MR. AND MRS. CHARU5S I.. HINDMAN.
ROSEBURO, Or., Nov. 3. Spcclal.) Miss Delia Moore, of Roseburg. and
Charles i,. Hindman, of Grand Junction. Colo., were. married at the residence
of the bride's mother, Mrs. Luclnda Moore, of Roseburg, on Thursday evening,
November 1, Rev. A. Preston Boyd officiating.
Miss Moore Is one of Roseburg's esteemed young ladles, and Mr. Hindman
Is a trusted employe'of the Rio Grands & Western Railroad. This young couple
. were schoolmates, and from youth up they were sweethearts. They left for their
future liome In Grand Junction oh the midnight train Friday, but will visit a
few days with the stepfather of the groom, who Is James McQuaW, of Port

were present at the wedding.
bers of the Council and the Executive
Board, and it is not improbable that they
will be submitted to the people at the
June election, as charter amendment can
be made only by popular vote.
The feeling in favor of adopting the dis
trict improvement plan' in Portland is
practically unanimous among those who
have given the matter study. This plan
is in force in many cities throughout the
country and is said to have given excel
lent satisfaction wherever tried. Among
the benefits claimed for it is that the
improvement of an entire district is a
great saving. Under the single street sys
tem, as in Portland, it is argued, traffic
is concentrated on the best improved
thoroughfare In any given section, soon
wearing it out. Under the district plan,
however, all streets in a given vicinity are
equally well improved and traffic Is more
evenly distributed.
In many cities where the district plan
is followed the power of remonstrance is
done away with. While the latter phase
of the scheme has its enemies, who claim
that it gives too much arbitrary power to
the city authorities, it is an open question
as to whether its benefits do not offset
this drawback, and many are ready to
say that they do.
Large Owners Block- Progress.
From the records it is very evident that
the power of remonstrance has often
proved a serious drawback. The power
to protest is constantly being invoked and
in numerous instances Improvements very
Important to the welfare of the munici
pality have been prevented. A peculiar
feature of the practical operation of the
provision is that the poorer property
owner is less likely to remonstrate than
the owner of extensive holdings who is
much better able to nay forthe work. The
records show that larffe estate control
ing nearly all the property along proposed
improvements, have held back badly need
ed improvements. The Ladd estate ap
pears very often in this role and through
its intervention the betterment of many
thoroughfares has been prevented.
In Seattle, where district improvements
are the rule, and where the power of re
monstrance is denied, the plan has shown
good results. An enormous amount of
work has been accomplished and it has
been possible to Improve large areas of
streets in a single proceedings, resulting
in districts of driveways to which the city
points with pride.
"I am heartily in favor of district im
provements, and would like to see the
system adopted In Portland," said Mayor
Lane last night. "As it is now, traffic is
directed to the best street in- each neigh
borhood, and as soon as that is worn out,
It shifts to another. If we had the dis
trict plan this traffic would be distributed
and it would prove a money-saving sys
tem. I am not so sure that It would be
advisable to do away with the power of
remonstrance. I have not studied tha.t
question enough to Indorse it yet."
"District improvement is an excel
lent plan, I believe, but I am not ready
to go on record as against the remon
strance rule," said R. L. Sabin, chair
man of the streets committee of the
Kxecutive Board. "In some cases
where a big property-owner takes it
Into his hands to block an improve
ment it works a hardship on the city.
In other cases, however, the arbitrary
ruling- ' of the authorities, -without
being a subject to protest, might work
a hardship on the owners."
Councilman Vaughn's Views.
"I am in favor of district improve
ments for the central section of the
city, but do not believe that the sys
tem is desirable when applied to out
lying neighborhoods,", was the state
ment of W. T. Vaughn, chairman of
the streets committee of the Council.
In residence districts different kinds of
improvements are often advisable for
adjoining streets, and it is seldom that
one kind would be best for all of the
streets In any one section. I am against
repealing the remonstrance rule. I be
lieve that the people always should
have power to say what, kind of an'
improvement is to be made, or wheth
er there is to be any at all."
"I am In favor of district improve
ments, and also of doing- away with
the power of remonstrance," said
Councilman Bennett. "There are a
great many instances where this pow
er is abused, and the Improvement of
streets much needed is prevented. I
think that the proceedings should be
forced through here as they are in
many other cities. -If they were, the
entire city would be the gainer."
Councilman Wills also looks upon
the district improvement plan with
favor, but Is not certain as to the no
remonstrance idea. "There ought to
be a way in which streets which are
badly needed could be forced through,"
he said. "In other cases, with an ar
bitrary Council, the power might be
abused."

acres of land to which I shall be able
to Invite the homeless of the world and
ask them to take 20-acre tracts and earn
an honest living. It will be my plan to
build factories for the workingmen and
to go down and work with them. I shall
do away with the aristocratic city that

INJURED Hi WRECK
Head of Theosophical Society
May Die in Italian Hospital.
COLONEL OLCOTT IS 75
With the Aid of the Late Madam Bla
vatsky, the ex-Newspaper Man
Founded Organization of '
Mystics In This Country.
KANSAS CITT. Nov. 4. Colonel Henry
Steel Olcott. of Adyar. India the .president-founder
of the Theosphlcal Society
and co-worker in her life time of the
late Helen P. Blavatsky. has been seri
ously injured in a railway wreck in Italy,
according to private advices received to
day by a member of the society In this
city. Beyond stating that he had been
placed in a hospital and is "In a bad
way," no details of the wreck are given.
Because of his advanced age fears for
his recovery are entertained.
, Colonel Olcott. at the time, was on his
way to India from Chicago, where he had
presided at the annual convention of tho
American section of the Theosophical So
ciety, held in that city in September.
Colonel Henry Steele Olcott received his
title in the Civil War. He is 75 years of
age. In his early life Colonel Olcott was
a new?paper man and at the execution of
John Brown of Ossawatomie he repre
sented the New York Tribune. He left
newspaper work in the 70's and. with the
late Helen P. Blavatsky, founded the
Theosophical Society in New York in 1875.
For years these two worked together,
Madam Blavatsky as the writer and
Colonel Olcott as the organizer.
After Blavatsky's death the Colonel
went to India, and from there has, in
conjunction with Mrs. Annie Besant,
directed the entire movement. His
authority in the Theosophical Society is
supreme. The charter of the American
section is entirely under his control and
with the stroke of a pen he could wipe
out of existence the 70 different branches
with their hundreds of members in this
country. He is a lecturer oX great power
and has written some books -on theos
ophy. He was prominent in the famous
split in this society in April, 1S95, when
William Q. Judge seceded with his follow
ing, after charges of fraud and false
hood had been preferred against him.
That event served to make him known
in all parts of the world.
Colonel Olcott, for tho first time in
many years, came to this country from
India recently personally to preside at
the 20th annual convention of the so
ciety, which opened in Chicago, Septem
ber 16. His presence served to bring to
Chicago one of the largest gatherings of
Theosophists that has ever convened in
this country since the organization of the
society.
Colonel Olcott was accompanied to and
from the United States by Mr. Schuer
mann, of Amsterdam, president of the
Dutch branch of the society. They
landed In New York in August. Colonel
Olcott . was noticeably feeble and was
greatly fatigued upon his arrival in Chi
cago. They sailed from New York on
September 25.
A.- P. innett of London, vice-president
of the Theosophical Society, is next In
llne .foi tho .' presidency.. Mr,' Sinnett. Is
a journalist of note and has held several
Imnortant Government positions in India.

to Be Conducted.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4. (Special.) In
connection with two of Chicago's most
important houses of worship. Rabbi
Emil C. Hlrsch, of Sinai Congregation,
and the People's Liberal Church of En
glewood, dancing pavilions, billiard
balls, bowling alleys and other amuse
ment features are to be conducted as
soon as the necessary additions can be
rmide. Rabbi Hlrsch first outlined the
plan ot a banquet in the People's
Church parlors. Dr. White at once took
it up, and congregations are enthusias
tic over it. Rabbi Hlrsch is not at all
satisfied with the conduct of Chicago's
churches.
"A modern church should not only
teach highest thought," he said, "but
should supply for the young all the
amusements they are now forced to get
from outside sources, and generally, in
places run for money only."
LABOR IS HARD TO GET
Southern Firms, Says Commissioner,
Are Constantly Imposed XTpon.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. David Robertson,
Immigrant Commissioner for the Southern
states, made publio a letter he has sent
to President Roosevelt to instruct the
Department of, Justice to seek in this
city evidence in connection with the
charges of peonage recently made against
several companies.
Robertson says he can prove false testi
mony given before the grand Jury at At
lanta, Ga., concerning German employes
who were engaged in this city for work
in the South. He recites difficulties en
countered in securing help among the im
migrants landing here and says that
agents of Southern firms are constantly
Imposed on by men who do not care to
work or to add to the community to which
they are sent, but who, on making frivol
ous charges, are given ;a hearing by of
ficials, who fail to Investigate both sides
of the case. The result, he says is in
lurious to the cause of labor in the South.

SYPHILIS, BLOOD POISON
YOU ARE NEVER SAFE "WHILE THIS POISON REMAINS IN
THE SYSTEM
A person -afflicted with Blood Poison cannot feel safe while any of
the virus or poison remains in the system. Tnls disease, with llttla
doubt is one of the most horrible and deadly whioh affects the human
family, from the fact that though Its beginning is manifested by only
a small sore, in a short time It becomes constitutional; the blood Is con
taminated the tissues break down, and a multitude of terrible symp
toms follow, such as unsigntly skin eruptions, sore throat, falling, of
the hair pains in various parts of the body, inflamed eyes, general
emaciation and debility. Later may follow disease of the nerves, ouoh
as paralysis, locomotor ataxia, softening of the brain. Insanity, eto. Wo
will cure you if your case can be cured.
PRONOUNCED NERVOUS DISORDERS
MEN WHO LACK VIGOR AND MENTAL CLEARNESS.
There is a peculiar form of impotency to which men and all those
whose brains are in constant action are subject to in a greater or less
decree. It is sometimes referred to as brain-fag. The daily grind of
balances, of collections, losses and business complications brings on a
sort of apathy.
DESPONDENCY MAT ENSUE,
The cares of business are already sufficient to overburden the mincl,
but when Hie nerve force and vigor seem to have given out, a very dan
gerous complication is added to the mental condition. We cure this
ailment by our own scientific methods. Write if you cannot call.
