Loral sentiment ih in favor of es tablishing it farm loan bank in Spo liime, Wash., rather than in l'ortlnnd if judgment I'lin lie made from the opinions expressed by some of the tanners who met the board. I'ort land, they sniil, has never given this unction a square deal, and there was general apprehension that the valley would be neglected by the bank if it bo established ill the Hose city. Mem bers of the board explained, however, that wherever the blink be located, there need be no uneasiness on that hcorc, as the district including Ore gon must embrace several states. Ap praisers will be unpointed in each sec tion who will bo able to form correct estimates ns to valuations. The fig ures will, of course, bo checked by the board of the bank, but, except in ease of gros error, will no doubt stand. 1 . A large number of pamphlets ex plaining the plans of the bonrd we're distributed by members of the local committee who met the land board at (lohl Hill.

Tho establishment of such banks will in many eases compel lo cal hanks to make their loans on sec ond mortgages and Hut laws will have to he amended so as to allow national banks to do so.

Describing tho effocts of the British bombardment of the German positions at Uui'.lc- mont, tho correspondent of Router's Telegram company at British bead- quarters In France says: 'The ground east of the village was strewn with German dead, In many cuses stark naked, every stitch of clothing having been blasted off. A large proportion showed no signs of wounds and there Is little doubt that the mon were killed by the In tense concussion.. In the dugoiits those who escaped olive said their nerves were destroyed by the ter rific pounding of the British guns." The correspondent considers It sig nificant that the ground won was not bombarded by German field guns, which indicates, he says, that tho Teutons withdrew their field artillery out of range. Whether this Is from apprehension that the guns might fall into British hands or whether It Is preliminary to a general with drawal the writer adds, can of course be only a matter of speculation. AURORA, 111., Kept. 8. "Both President Wilson and Charles IS. Hughes conceal their thoughts In ovaslon and are content to tickle the ears of their hearers with platitudes and harmless generalities," J. Frank llanly, prohibition candidate for president, declared In the opening speech of his campaign tour here to day. . Manly particularly criticized both Wilson and Hughes for profosulng a great Interest in the women and chil dren of the nation and remaining si lent on the "liquor curse." Tho cluim made by President Wil son In his acceptance speech that tho democratic party had effected the emancipation of the children of the country by releasing them from hurt ful labor was denied by llanly. "There can bo no real emancipa tion of the children whllo tho liquor traffic holds the warrant of (he na tion tor their spoliation," Mr. Hanly declared. TO PROBE LOBBY WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.

Since the senate approved last night t lie Danish West Indies treaty, viitually the only thing that stood iu the way today of the neipiisitioii of tile islands by the United States was the ratifi cation of the treaty by the parlia ment of Denmark, the lower house of which already has approved it. This action of tho senate- came almost simultaneously wilh the appointment by the Danish parliament of a com mittee to consider tho negotiations for the sale of the islands to tho United Slates. .'
