It makes him a good workman. If a man is
to be selected for promotion—the man with a
’ bank account is more apt to be chosen. He is
a good citizen.
This bank solicits the accounts o f wage
earners, merchants, farmers, and all who wish
to become thrifty. It doesn’ t matter how

er town« In the Coeur d’Alene coun

en, waiting for the total list of deaa

tana and Northern Idaho has cleared
considerably. Saltese has been pre-
aerved; Henderaon la in a fair way.io
be placed on the aalvage Hat.. There
are 300 men backfiring at St. Regia,
and it la believed their efforta will
reault in turning the fire around the
town.
The lose of life will be large. It
growa hourly, and the number of in­
jured ia constantly increasing.
In
and around Wallace It ia estimated
here the death list la at least fifty.
In addition to at least 25 otherwise
hurt, it la said that ten persons have
beeq made blind.

close to 11,000,000, about half of the

reports that the region between Wal­
lace and the S t John River le swept
practically clean, with enormous loss.

en and children have been sent oat.
At War Eagle tunnel six were found
dead and two were badly burned
Five of the dead were in the tunnel,
where they had sought refuge. They
lay face down in water,, covered with
wet rags and blankets. Some had
died from the fire and others from
suffocation by smoke. The injured

Wallace.
Twelve dead were recovered at
Big Creek. There-were three.injured
at the place. There are at Pine
Creek three dead, five blinded and
five otherwise Injured.

burned where found. It may be weeks

look is bad. In St. Joe 18 men are
missing and it is feared that they

President Says He Had No
Hand in Defeating “Teddy”
for Chairman.
NEW YORK—The threat that Pres­
ident Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
might pull apart has been forefended
by a full explanation on one side and
an unreserved acceptance on the
other.
*
The President made it plain in a
letter given out here by Lloyd C.
Grlscom, chairman of the New York
Republican county committee, how
the misunderstanding arose. He ex­
plained that he never took any part
in a committee cabal to defeat Col­
onel Roosevelt for temporary chair­
man of the coming Republican state
convention.
On the .contrary, he explicitly de­
plores the result of the committee
meeting which chose Vice-President
Sherman; he rebukes the party lead­
ers who permitted it to go abroad
uncontradicted that the President of
the United States was behind their
factional preference; he Insists that
at -every opportunity he advised the
fullest conference with Roosevelt, and
he explains he has been pained by
the “ columns of unfounded stories in
newspapers concerning my attitude in
respect to the New York situation."

SHERMAN SCORNS ADVICE
Breach Between Preeldent and Vice-
Preaident la Now Apparent.
BEVERLY, Mass.—A breach be­
tween President Taft and Vice-Presi­
dent Sherman, instead of between
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, appears
to have come as a result of the con­
troversy over the selection of tempo­
rary chairman of the New York Re­
publican convention.
That is the plain interence to be
drawn from the President’s letter to
Lloyd Griscom, made public in New
York.
The letter makes it apparent that
the breach came at Mr. Sherman’s in­
terview with Mr. Taft last Wednes­
day. On that occasion, it now trans­
pires, the President told Mr. Sher­
man he deplored the action of the
state committee in voting down Mr.
Roosevelt aad that he wanted him to
see Mr. Roeevelt and try to arrange
an agreement.
GOVER! M NT WILL
PROBE FOREST FIRES
Son-in-law of Ex-President Roose­
velt, who announces that he will not
vote for "Uncle Joe’* Cannon for
speaker.
Although John D. Works, of Los
Angeles, has received 2000 votes more
than A. G. Spalding, of San Diego,
for United States senator, Spalding
has the indorsement of the assembly
and senatorial districts. The result is
a problem which will probably be
passed up for solution to the next leg­
islature.
Representative W. E. Humphrey, of
Washington, one of the closest sup­
porters of Speaker Cannon, in the
house, states that he would not vote
to re-elect the speaker. Mr. Humph­
rey is being opposed for renomination
by the Insurgents of his district be­
cause of his relations with Cannon.
The entire Castro family, appar­
ently, has been ousted from Venesu-
ela. A dispatch to the state depart­
ment from the American legation at
Caracas stated that 6 relatives of ex-
President Castro had been expelled
from Venesuela.
Nicaraguan W ar Over.
MANAGUA.—The Nicaraguan war

advices received here that General
Louis Mena of the revolutionary army

his office, and Jose Dolores Estrada,
