ture aUecrease of $7,549,000 in cash, whfch
was accounted for principally through
operations with the sub-Treasury, the
banks having lost rather heavily in their
dealings for the last six days because of
the heavy payment on account of the
anticipatory customs payment.
The statement as a whole, however.
rendered rather misleading, so far as
comparisons are concerned, by reason of
the inclusion of figures of the Coal and
Iron National Bank, which as a new
member of the Olearing'House made its
Mfllrp.fi Fflfit Timo in Nat nna! first report.
Saturday in the matter of loans was
only J3,6-,3-X, it is evident that, exclud
ing the Coal and Iron National, the other
banks decreased their loans rather than
Increased them. The current statement
showed also a decrease of ,29o,00 in de
posits, and as the deposits of the Coal
and Iron National are larger than the
sum mentioned, there must have been a
decrease on the part of the remaining
institutions of at least twice the sum re
ported in Saturday's statement.
However, the statement as a whole
showed that the reserve on deposits fell
bringing the surplus up to
TO6.750.
The summary of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York not re
porting to the New York Clearing-House
showed an increase of .',027.200 in loans,
an increase of about $1,700,000 In cash and
Increase in net deposits of JS,6i2.7J0.

La Follette Claims Credit for Taft's
Victory Over Aldrich and

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug-. 7. (Spe
cial.) Milwaukee's home-coming- has
come and gone. Notwithstanding that
It was made the occasion for many po
litical conferences, the fact remains
that the situation is not any more clari
fied than It was weeks ago. If any
thing, it has become more muddled.
Those who expected to see in the pri
mary election law an end to political
wire-pulling must be sorely disappoint
ed, for at no caucus or convention have
the wires been so adroitly manipulated
as they are now being under the Wis
consin law.
The chief disturbing block Just now
seems to be G. V. Davidson. Since th
investigation Into the election of Sen
ator Stephenson, with whom the Gov
ernor had made a troth of alliance, It
has been evident that he could not be
come a candidate for the United States
Senate, an ambition which he has
nursed for some years.
Then again. Senator LaFollette.
against whom he Is to be pitted by the
reactionaries, Is today stronger than
ever in this state on account of the
victory of President Taft over Aldrich
Ism, as a big portion. If not the major
part of the credit, the Junior Senator
arrogates to himself.

SPOKAXB, Tv-ash.. Aug. 7. (Special.)
Wednesday afternoon will witness the
biggest session of the 17th National Irri
gation Congress, when Richard Achilles
Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, will
speak on "The Attitude of the Govern
ment Toward the Reclamation of the
West," and it is declared by delegates
that Ballinger will be asked to go fully
into his policy toward reclamation.
A statement made by Ballinger in Seat
tle that he did not believe in the Gov
ernment's taking up any projects as long
as private capital waa willing to enter
the field will be the subject of much dis
cussion. Ballinger will be asked to ex
plain exactly where he draws the line
and whether this policy means the aban
donment of Irrigation projects in the
Northwest, where the land has already
been signed up for Government Irriga
tion.
The board of governors of the congress
met this, morning at the Spokane Hotel
and ratified the tentative programme.
(-nier forester nnchot will speak Tues
day morning and will be followed by
Ballinger Wednesday afternoon. Ex
Governor George C. Pardee, of Califor
nia, win speak after Ballineer and the
time between addresses is expected to be
made the signal for fireworks between
delegates for and against Ballinger-a
plana
Pinchot to. Arrive Monday.
The executive committee met this
afternoon and ratified the action of
the board of governors. An amend
ment to the Constitution, which will
give more permanency to the organiza
tion and provide headquarters and the
expenditure of money between sessions,
will be presented for ratification. If
it is carried, it will enable the senti
ments expressed at each Congress to
be carried Into effect through oo-oper-atlon
with Government officials and
through representatives of Congress at
Washington during- sessions of the Na
tional Congress.
Chief Forrester Pinchot Is expected
here Monday morning. Director Newell
of the Reclamation Service arrived to
night and Secretary Ballinger will ar
rive probably tomorrow.
Secretary Hooker, of the Board of Con
trol, will on Wednesday introduce a reso
lution memorializing Congress to Issue
$5,000,000,000 bonds for reclamation work.
This question bids fair to form the one
big issue in the deliberations of the Irri
gation Congress. The answer will be an
indorsement or a refusal of the Roosevelt
policies as pertaining to reclamation and
conservation. The gigantic scheme of
reclamation is:
Gigantic Scheme Proposed.
One billion dollars for draining of over
flowed and swamp lands, thus reclaiming
an area equal to 100.000 square miles, an
area potentially capable of supporting
3,000.000 persons.
One billion dollars for the reclamation
by irrigation of 40.000,000 acres of land
now wholly or partly waste.
One billion dollars to construct and Im
prove deep waterways, to develop thou
sands of miles of territory, without ade
quate transportation facilities at present.
One billion dollars for good roads and
National highways.
One billion dollars ror forest protection.
reforestation and conservation of the
forest resources, assuring perpetuation of
the timber supply.
The plan is to persuade Congress to Is
sue gold bonds, bearing 2 or 3 per cent and
running 100 years, to the amount of J6.000,
000.000, for those specific purposes.
Improvements to Pay Bonds.
'Five billions of dollars is an enormous
sum, but it Is no more than is actually
required for developing millions of acres
In various parts of the United States now
absolutely worthless," says Hooker.
Congrees will not be asked to appropri
ate a penny. The returns from the im
proevment would pay off the bonda. The
Government would simply act as banker,
as It does now for the various irrigation
projects."
As a direct corollary to the Hooker
proposition will come the subject of thor
ough organization of the country to insure
unified action. The subject will be
threshed out In the congress, forming

what will doubtless be one of the chief
itue of the session.
That this decision will not be reached
without friction and probably serious
clashes Is admitted. An Indorsement oi
Hooker's proposal, in whole or in part,
would mean practically an indorsement
of the Roosevelt policies - of reclamation
and conservation.
That the discussion will Include con
servation as well as reclamation is made
clear in Hooker's resolutions. More than
this, prominent officials, including Gif
ford tpinchot, chief forester; James Wil
son, Secretary of Agriculture; F. H.
Newell, director of the United States
Reclamation Service, and Richard A.
Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, will
be on the ground.
Clash of Leaders Expected.
This, viewed In the light of recent
events at Washington, with Ballinger ac
cused of attempting to block the Roose
velt policies of conservation and reclama
tion, throwing open and then withdraw
ing lands, under pressure from Taft, and
figuring as the cause of friction In the
cabinet over the questions that are bound
to be sprung in the irrigation congress.

sucn an indorsement as that mentioned
Is made or refused.

Secretary of Interior Will Inspect

SEATTLE. Aug. 7. Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger announced today that
he will meet the Senate committee on
Irrigation, of which Senator Thomas H.
Carter, of Montana. Is chairman, at
Glendive, Mont., on August 13, and will
accompany the committee on an offi
cial visit to contemplated reclamation
work In that state.
The party will go first to the Iower
Yellowstone, after which an inspection
will be made of the Huntley project and
of the Shoshone, LiOwer Milk River, the
Flathead country and the Yakima dis
trict. It Is expected that this trip will
include all the large irrigation work
now under consideration by the Gov
ernment -in Montana.

The Addition With Character
LAURELHURST is to be made the Most Beautiful Addition in Portland.
There are many beautiful locations in Portland, but heretofore they have been more or
less restricted in area, because the land has been platted in small tracts.
In its development, the owners of LAURELHURST have planned a residence district of
the highest class, on such a broad and generous scale that it will be a credit to Portland,
and would be a credit to any great city in the world.
LAURELHURST is a tract Of land one mile long and three quarters of a mile wide which
is being laid out and improved under a general scheme for artistic development that will
give a wide scope to the best talents of architects and landscape artists.
Go and see LAURELHURST for yourself today; see how the streets are laid out to pre
serve the natural beauties of the tract; see what magnificent views the residents will
have; see the rich soil that will make this , addition a rose garden in the heart of the
"Rose City," . .
Homes in this beautiful park are greatly to be desired.
All of the streets in this addition are to be paved and all other public improvements, will
be made under the ten-year payment plan as soon as the work can be done.
The prices of lots in LAURELHURST, at this time, will be no higher than the prices of
other property in the vicinity which lacks these advantages, but we expect to advance the
prices very materially within a few months.
At the present time, the prices of lots 50x100 feet in size, will range from $600 to $1800.
each, the higher prices being for a few of the very choicest view lots.
We have just completed a handsome office adjoining the old Ladd "Hazel Fern Farm"
house in the center of the tract, and are now ready to receive visitors and show them

Our representatives will be at the office on the ground today to show the property
