CASH BALANCE IS
CLOSE TO MILLION
Oregon's State Treasurer Has
Now on Hand Sum of
$959,084.28.
SCHOOL FUND IS LARGEST
August Apportionment for the Sev
eral Counties Will Total Close to
$280,000 Several Million in
School Money on Interest.
; SALEM. Or., July 25. (Special.) There
Is now on hand in the State Treasury, or
' was on July 1, $959,084.28, which is by far
the greatest amount for the close of any
six months' period except for the corre
sponding period last year, which was
' $1,110,947.42. This latter large surplus,
however, was due to the holding up of
the several funds In the treasury on ac
count of tho referendum of the general
' appropriation act.
Not only this, but all funds in the
! hands of the Treasurer have shown a
, healthy growth during the past fiscal
year. In the semi-annual statement made
, public this afternoon by State Treasurer
1 Rteel covering the ix months ending
: June 30. This is ' particularly true In the
. case of the common school fund, inter-
est, which has developed a steady in
; crease from one period to another until
: on June 30 there was J240.289.64 on hand,
as compared with J70.981.51 for the cor
i responding period last year,' ahd $73,762.48
on December 31, 1906. This fund Is sub
ject to distribution among the school dis
tricts of the state August 1, and by the
time the date of apportionment arrives it
Is estimated this fund will have reached
approximately $280,000. "While it is ex
pected this fund will increase steadily
from one year to another, in proportion
to -the growth of the irreducible school
fund, the Interest from whih composes
the common chool fund, such an im
mense accumulation was not anticipated
even by the official custodian.
Increase in General IHind.
The general fund, too, slfbws a healthy
increase within the past six months,
there being $358,498.62 on hand June 30 or
this year, as against $201,725.50 on De
cember 31, 1906, which is but little more
than half the amount credited to the
general fund one year ago, $702,978.31, due
to the accumulation of money on account
of the referendum, which is not to be
considered for the purpose of compari
son. The receipt credited to the several
funds during the past six months reached
the combined total of $1,615,767.04, as com
Tisred with $1,182,348.89 December 31, 1906.
and $1,140,956.79 June 30, 1906. The total
disbursements aggregated $1,145,377.99 June
30, J907. as against. $93.487.70 for the cor
responding period last year, when the
funds were held up, and $1,731,601.08 De
cember 31. 1906, representing the six-
months' period during "which, the . funds
were released by the adoption of the ap
propriation act by the f eople at the June
election.
Most important of all, however. Is tho
showing of the rapid growth of the edu-
cational funds, showing that the interest
bearing funds In the hands of the State
Treasurer have reached the enormous
total of $4,440,013.12. which, added to the
$331,219.24 representing the outstanding
certillcates in the State Land Depart
nient July 1, brings the grand total up to
$4,771,232.36. Of this fund, $4,125,068.12 to
. out on first mortgage loan's "Tearing 6 per
cent Interest, and $314,946 is Invested In

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
Visit the great Pabst Brewery
marvel at its immaculate cleanliness.
beer demands a clean brewery,
been recognized for years as the standard of purity in beers.
You demand that your home be clean, and especially your
kitchen where your food is prepared. As beer is a food, you
have a right to know that the conditions, under which it is made
insure perfect cleanliness in the best of all beers
From the time the barley goes into the Pabst malt
houses, and the hops into the Pabst brewery, no ingredient
used in Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer comes in contact with
human hands. Even the air in which the malt is grown,
by the famous Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process, is
washed and filtered; every kettle, pipe and tank is regu
larly and thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.
After the beer is brewed the atmosphere never touches it. It is
aged in air-tight tanks, it is filtered, bottled and pasteurized; it is a
clean beer, just as it is a pure beer and cleanliness and purity make
it a good beer for you to drink.
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is rich in the food values of perfect malt
and the tonic properties of choicest hops, with a very low percentage
of alcohol less than 354 96 strictly a temperance beverage.
