Dur- iug the past season over 25,000 head of cattle and sheep have been driven through this city to Montague and thence shipped to Sacramento and Oak land, where they are slaughtered for market. There are many conditions which make this long drive and shipment un satisfactory. Among these are the loss of flesh on the 100-mile drive, the dam aging of meat caused by the goad stick of the cartender, the fevered condition resulting from the close confinement, the cramped position in the crowded cars, and the general unfitness for market of the four footers upou arrival at their destination.

University of Oregon, Eugene— The following table, taken from the records cf the register’s office, shows that the Btudents of the University of Oregon come from every county in the sttne. There are now in attendance in the de partments at Eugene, exclusive of mu sic, 400 Btudents, which is the largest body of students of college rank enrolled in any institutioa in Oregon. That they are not from the hemes of the rich is shown by the fact that nearly 70 per cent of them are either wholly or par tially earning their own way. Most of them are registered from the smaller cities of the state that support good high schools. The following counties are represented: Baker, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Doug las, Gilliam , Grant, Jackson, Joseph ine, Klamath, Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Sherman, Tiilamock, Umatilla, Union, Wasco, Washington, Wbashington, Wheeler, Yamhill.

Provoke Paris, Jan. 7.— The newspapers con tinue to give much space to the Amer ican Japanese situation. The papers print an alleged Interview with Count Aoki, the retiring ambassador of Japan at Washington, In which he is quoted from Ban Francisco as saying Japan would consider as an offensive action any attempt on the part of the United States to exclude tne Japanese, and take this as a text for long articles. Viscount Aoki’s denial of this inter view has not yet been published here. Lacking this denial, the Journal Dea- bata thinks that in bis interview Count Aoki has placed hia fingers on the real danger spot. “ Japan refuses to admit that any where on the globe the Japanese are social y inferior to any other people,’ ’ says the paper. “ Japan claims to have won the absolute right to be treat ed as a great power everywhere, and under all circumstances.” In the opinion of Eclair, if the two governments accede to the sentiments of the people and the logical necessity of the situation, a conflict would ap pear very imminent. "B ut Japan is without money. America is not ready, and we doubtless shall see both nations champ their bits awhile longer.” The Gaulois believes that the friend ly and tactful powers at Washington will brevent a break. It fears only that the American people may become excited Baron Karuino, the Japanese amtjaesador to France, today gave out a statement that he was convinced that Viscount Aoki only meant that Japan would consider legislation offensive to Japan as, for instance, if an exclusion act ie proposed like the Chinese.

C., Jan. 7.— Hundreds of Japanese, whose terms of service in the mikado’ s army had not been com pleted or who were on the reserve list of fighting men, have been called home to Japan. Dozens of Japanese qnit their work in Vancouver yesterday, and many more are coming into town today. Already they are securing passage on vessels outbound across the Pacifio from Van couver and Victoria. March 15 is giv en as the day when they must report ready (or whatever duty is in store (or them. The gathering of the Japanese is be ing carried out with much secrecy. No less than 200 landed in a bunch this morning from a small American steamer, which slipped in and out of the harbor before daylight and neither entered nor cleared from the customs house. Since Friday there has been a steady stream of the brown men from the logging camps. No Japanese in the city will admit the coming of the order for the return of the soldiers, but offi cers of the Asiatic Exclusion league declare that they have absolute inform- ation that this order has been received in Vancouver since the departure of the American fleet for Pacific waters. C H IC A G O T E N A N T S O R G A N IZ E . NEW CURRENCY PLAN Congressman Eowler Oilers Sys tem for Bank Circulation. SECURED BY ASSETS OF BANKS Banks to D eposit Money W ith G ov ernm ent to Guarantee Both N otes and D e p o titt. Washington, Jan. 9.— The s ib-oom mittee of the house committee on bank ing and currency, to which was entrust ed the framing of a bill to increase the elasticity of the currency, readied a conclusion yesterday and will report favotably to the lull committee a b ill drawn iu the mjtin by Chairman Fow ler, of the committtee. The bill will be introduced by Fowler and referred to his committee, where it w ill form the working basis for the framing of a bill of possibly the same scope and tenor. The bill provides for the complete retirement of all outstanding national bank bond secured currency and aut hoi- |zes in lieu thereoi a currency baaed upon general assets of the banks, to be worked out in this way: The controller of the currency will designate throughout the country cer tain redemption cities, so that theie shall be a redemption city within at least 24 hours’ reach of every national bank. The national banka w ill indi cate to the controller of the currency to wiiat redemption city they wish to be- joined. The controller will then select a time and place within each redemp tion district for the organizing of that district in the following manner: Each national bank in that district, regardless of its capital stock, will he entitled to one vote. Representative« of the banks will meet at a time and place designated and elect a board of managers to consist of seven members. The seven will elect a chairman, who will become a deputy controller of cur rency and assume control of his re demption district, except that he shall not have charge of tbe enforcement of the criminal statutes. Each national bank is authorized to present to the secretary of the treasury national bank notes and lawful money in lieu of other national bank bond se cured outstanding notes. Then, if the bank’s application therefor is indorsed by the board of managers of ttre re demption district to which it belongs, the bank will receive guaranteed credit notes to the amount of its capital stock. These notes will be subject to a tax of 2 per cent per annum. Each bank w ill be required to deposit as a guarantee fund with the treasurer of the United Slates 5 per cent of its average deposits for the preceding 12 months and 5 per cent of the credit notes which It takee out. Tire revenue thus obtained is to create and support a national guaran tee fund of $500,000,000 for the guar antee of both the deposits and the out standing banknotes of every national bank. Eighty per cent of this fund is to be invested in United States bonds drawing 2 per cent interest, while Ihe remaining 20 per cent is to be deposit ed in banks of the various redemption cities for the purpose of redeeming the guaranteed credit notes of the lianks of the various redemption districts. When the national guarantee fnnd reaches $25,000,000, which would be almost simultaneous with Ihe birth of the new law, the government is re quired to return to the hanks the Unit ed States bonds now held as security for Federal deposits, the object being to enable the banks to get control of the bonds, so that the government can invest the 80 per cent of the guaranteed fnnd in 2 per cent bonds and regain control. In buying these bonds the banks holding them shall be paid their original purchase price, providing their exact purchase price can be proven. It iB Fowler’ s idea, as embodied in the bill, to have the new credit notes printer! on a green background in differ- entiation from the yellow background of the gold notes and white background of the silver certicafites.
