IHrint by IxmgMt Leased Wlrt.J Chicago, Feb. 6. The directors of the Contlneutal bank today notified George M. Reynolds, president of the institu tion, that at a meeting: his salary had bn increased by unanimous vote from 135.600 to $50,000. This was taken by the few In the financial world who today became a wars of this honor to Mr. Reynolds, as direct competition by the bank against the United States of America for the eeri'iees of Mr. Reynolds. The increase, it is believed, will prove an element in the decision of Mr. Rcy . nolds as to accepting or refusing a ten der -of the portfolio of secretary of the treasury, which it is now certain has been iiifornially held forth, by President-elect Taft. Mr. Reynolds, who now becomes one of the few $50,000 a year bank presi dents in the world, refused to discuss any proffer of a portfolio.

The one thought -. uppermost In the mind of Admiral Hperry and his fellow fleet officers as they sent the 16 battleships .of the ' American fleet- out of the harbor today 'was to complete the record breaking world cruise without a mishap. The freedom from accident that has marked the cruise since it began -more than a J' ear ago, has been favorably commented on in naval circles the world over, and with home shores so near, the officers are doubly anxious to avoid marring the Knlendld record. Officers and sailors elike are determined to bring the sea fighters into Hampton Roads, 3600 mtlea away, on February 22, "fit for battle." The farewell to the "hips today waa a noisv affair, with British. Russian. French and German warshios bellowing their adieus, to which the fleet re sponded. The shore batteries also fired ' .nalutes. ' -.v t The fleet Will go direct to Hampton Roads, where the presidential review will be held on Washington's birthday. ' This is expected to be one of the mem orable events in the history of . the American navy. . Following the Hampton Roads revlewv the fleet will proceed to Guantanatno, nba, for spring target practice. This fact alone indicates thst the ships are In unusually good condition, considering what they have undergone; After the target practice, the ships will disperse to the navy yards for - re pairs. The principal repairs will be to overhaul the ships' boilers and engines and attending to numerous "sprains." pueLvch premier plans : anti-royalist fight (United Press Lessee Wire.) Paris. Fob. 8.

Clemenceau is exceedingly popular, but if the government becomes involved In differences while he remains in of fice he would lose his hold on the peo ple.

The class members spent a good deal of time and trouble in an attempt to make It one of the best Issues ever published, and their time and trouble were amply repaid In the splendid Issue. A simple design in white, with red let tering, made a very effective cover. But the efforts of the class were surely repaid by the Just praise from every U1UULII.

Pleasing music was rendered by the boys' and girls' glees of the high, school. Rev. Benjamin K. Young of the' Taylor Street Methodist church delivered the class address. Although the class is unusually small, nevertheless the high school will miss its baby class. Owing to the fact that Luke Rader, the former editor of the Cardnal, changed his time of graduating from June, '09, u the February class. Just graduated, and also that Frank Ander son, the assocate editor, had to stop school, it became necessary to elect a new editor for the paper. Accordingly, on January 21 the school voted Oscar Hansen editor in chief, with Keren Davis as assistant editor. Bruce Shu man's place as business manager will be filled by Cecil Altman. j On January 22, the June class gave the annual June prom for the Febru ary '0 claa-g'h dance waa given at the Murlark haJKuind waa a, great suc cess.

Mrs. Stirling Is greatly grieved by the sudden retire ment f her liarrlster, Lord Advocate Shaw, who had been .briefed by her London solicitor, the Honorable ChaxUs Russell, son of the Ba,ron of ' Klllo wen. Shaw was to have - addressed the courts on behalf of Mrs. Stirling. Mrs. Stirling's cause may suffer by the sud den change of lawyers, as the case is being tried without a Jury, by a Judge. There is further gossip to the effect that Shaw's dally "refresher" fee was not forthcoming, wherefore he retired from the, case, but this Is not believed of the- chivalrous Scotch lawyer. It was significant when the- Judge postponed the hearing or argument un til Saturday that he said; "This is a case of life or death. It is as Important to the parties concerned as a criminal case." . Persons without means have a scant chance of justice In the British courts. British justice is summary, but costly. Sir Goret Barnes, president of the di vorce court of England, said today: "There Is one law for 'the rich and another for the poor." He meant that only, persons with means could get a divorce under the English laws.'

Read This Carefully-It Tells Its Tale . . , The country known as the Inland Empire could well be likened, to an im mense bowl, with the Blue, Bitter Root and Cascade mountains as the top ofthe bowl. It is a well-known fact that altitude and nearness to the moun tain ranges are the controlling features of the climatic conditions of this country. Most of the fruit sections of the northwest are located somewhere, on the sides or near the foothills of these mountains hence their late crops, for they get more snow, mud and slush, more clouds, and the water they use for irrigation is cold and snow fed, BUT RScHiflamid in the center of the "COLUMBIA RIVER EARLY FRUIT BELT," is not only the lowest irrigated altitude in the north, but it is the farthest point from a mountain range and the water for irrigation comes through long gravity ditches and a still longer river. These are some of the reasons why our country is called the "Columbia River Early Fruit Belt" and the "California of the Northwest" Richland is only 10 miles above KENNEWICK ON THE COLUMBIA and is practically a duplicate of that now famous district.
