RESOURCES INCREASE NEARLY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS Savings Also Gain $5,000,000 in Year And Maibed Increase in Commer cial Deposit Expected, That the financial condition of Ore gon is much better than it was at this time last year is indicated by the first statement of the year of 8. G. Sargent, state superintendent of banks, issued to day. The statement is based on figures furnished by the various state and Na tional banks in reply to the fidst 1014 call. "The figures indicate that business is good and the feeling is healthy, that I merchants and farmers are doing bet ter than they were this time last year," commented Mr. Sargent, "I am hope ful for the future and everything indi cates a gradual Improvement in condi tions." - Eesources Increase $1,915,000. A combined statoment of all banks in the state at the cIobb of business January 13 last, compared-with the corresponding statement of February 4, 1913, is as follows: Total resources, $101,783,238.44; an increase of 4,915,019.86', Loans and idscounts, $86,822,556.87; an increase of (3,227,016.85. Cash and exchange, $42,368,917.00; an increase of $353,302.72. Capital, surplus and profits, $28,665, 127.46; an incroase of $1,323,803.94. Total deposits, $112,040,665.09; an in crease of $4,060,116.78. The report Bhows there are 169 state banks and 80 national banks in Ore gon. . Savings Gala $5,000,000. Mr. Sargent says an interesting fea ture of the statement is the fact that the savings and time deposits increased approximately $5,000,000 over Inst year, while tho commercial deposits showed a loss. This was largely due to per sons holding on to tlieir money until the result of congressional action on important measures was known. With conditions bright for tho fu ture, the official sayny there is reason to believe that the commercial deposits will soon show a great increase. In commenting upon advantages ami disadvantages to Oregon state banks that may become members of tho Fed eral reserve system, Air. Sargent said; Few Applications Expectod. "Taking into consideration tho ad 'Vantages and disadvantages brought out in the ninny discussion of tho cur rency law, and lifter a careful analysis of the reports of the stato batiks re ceived in response to tho last call, ' am of the opinion that very few will apply for admission during the pres ent year. "A great majority of the banks would be miithlo to adjust their business to meet tho requirements inside of a year, should they desire membership, and from reporis received it seems to bo the gcneral'lnclination to wait and see the system organized, put in operation and it merits fully ilcinonstrrted.

All banks approved by the superintendent of banks bb reserve agents must carry a reserve of 25 per cent of tho commer cial deposits and 15 per cent of the time and savings deposits. "It is presumed that few, if any, of tho banks carry only the required amount of reserve; but for the purpose of illustration, supporo tho minimum is carried; the non-member bank re ceives 2 per cent interest on daily bal ances with reserve agents, and the member bank invests the extra amount of reserve released at 6 per cent."

In the meantime men were joining the union. "But an organizer took life in his hands when he went into the camp." he explained. "Some organizers have been killed in southern Colorado." Lawson then told of the 1913 strike and the exodus of the miners from their homes to the union tent colonies. "The operators had 600 gunmen in Las Animas and Huerfano counties," he said "They had what was called a 'death special,' an armoured automo bile which mounted a machine gun. We did not buy any machine guns. We bought some rifles to protect the min ers' lives." He described the Forbes tent colony battle of October 17, when one was killed and two wounded. . "A crowd of men suddenly appeared from Trindad, some mounted, some rid ing the 'death special.' A man named Kennedy, bearing a white flag, came within the tent colony. 'Boys, I'm a union man; are you good union men or scabs f ' !'The men in camp replied they were union men. 'You'd better look out be cause they 're going tb shoot,' said Ken nedy. Suddenly walking back he hurled the flag to the ground, and the next instant two machine guns opened fire. One man was shot through the head while try ing to get away. A boy was hit nine times." SERIOUS FALLING OFF IN CARRY ING CAPACITY OF WESTERN GRAZING LANDS, That a serious decline in the carrying capacity of vast areas of western graz ing lands, due largely to the fact that stockmen fail to give the range plants a chance to keep growiug, can be reme died without closing these areas to cattle and sheep, is the statement made by the department of agriculture in a bulletin recently issued on range im provement. Excessive grazing in the spring before the forage crop is mature, and such grazing in continued year af ter year, says the department, are the main causes of range deterioration. On the national forests, the depart ment points out, where tho government is doing away with these evils and stock is handled under government regulation, the range lands have im proved to a point where it is again possible to market largo nnmbors ot beef and mutton imimals directly from the range. , In tho "freo for all" period of early dnys, tho department goes on to say, the most palatable forago plants were so closely cropped that they were un ttblo to develop the neeesHnry plant food, and so literally starved. In ad dition, tho roots were frequently in jured by trampling or killed by expo sure. As a result the best kinds of vegetation grew weaker from season to season, and where the practice of early and close grazing was continued, the rango at last became practically de nuded. The vegetation which furnishes the grazing crop has much tho same growth requirements as a farm crop. No far mer who hopes to realize tho bost re turns from a permanent hay meadow, it is stated, would think of harvesting the crop as soon as it is tall enough ,to cut, regardless of whether or not it is mature. Nor would he graze a perm anent pasture closely from tho time the growth begins until it ceases, for ho knows thnt this will rosult finally in killing it out. And since climate and soil conditions over much of the west ern grazing lands are less favorable to plant growth than those on the average farm, even greater care must be exer cised iu utilizing the rango crop thnn is necessary with that on the farm. The remedy suggested for range de terioration is a system of deferred grazing, lender such plan an over grazed portion of tho range sufficiently largo to supply the forage from the tinut of seed to maturity until the end j of tho grazing season, is protected from stock until tho 'seed crop has matured. Upon maturity of tho seed crop the forage is grazed during the first sea son, but not to tho extent of injuring seed plants. The same area is pro tected in tho same way during tho sec ond and, if necessary, subsequent sea sons, or until tho new plants hvo been securely established. When the area hns been thoroughly rosoeded it can be again grazed early lu tho season, and a second area, largo enough to accommo date the stock from tho time of seed ripening to tho end of the season, is protected until the forage is mature. By this method of alternating late grazing from one area to another, weak ened vegetation can recover its vital imit the need of having the land closed to grazing the entire year. MINNESOTAN DIES.

CARRYING LIQUOR FROM WET INTO DRY TERRITORY CHARGE Defense in Case Is Marshal Had No Bight to Make Arrest and Dick's Rights Are Violated. That it is an encroachment upon the civil rights of a citizen for an officer of the law to make an arrest of one who is found carrying intoxicat ing liquors on his person from a wet ter ritory to a dry one was the verdict late yesterday in the damage case of John Dick against L. Yeates in the circuit court. The plaintiff was arrested by the defendant, who is the marshal of Sil verton, for carrying bottled beer un der his arm from the town of Mt. An gel to SUverton. The charge was that Dick was transporting the beer into the dry territory without the wet goods being properly labeled. The courts in Silverton refused to prosecute Dick, de spite the fact that Tom Kay, one of the governor's special agents, insisted, and the young man then brought action to recover damages in the sum of $570. The jury gave Dick judgment in the sum of $100. While it was admitted by Dick that he had beer on his person, and that he knew he was carrying it from a wet territory to a dry one, it was brought out by Attorney George G. Bingham that the marshal had no au thority to arrest the plaintiff, and that it was in violation of the civil rights of Dick that a criminall complaint was sworn to by the defendant. E IS HERE 'QUO VADIS" WILL BE GIVEN AT YE LIBERTY THEATRE FOR TWO DAYS. "Quo VadiB," the superb photo drama reproduction of Henry Sien kiowiez's world-famous novel, comes to Ye Liberty today and tomorrow with continuous performances from 2 p. m. to 11 p. m., and it looks as though George Klein's remarkable production will establish a wonderful record for attendance in Salem, whose peoplo ap preciate wonderful productions. Aside from the ninny spectacular features there is an undeniable fascin ation about tho story of Vinitius' pas sion for tho sweet Lygia and the ad ago that the "courso of true love nev er rmis smooth," etc., is proven ns far back as A. D. G6 and OS by this very picture romance. It is human and hu man nature is the same today as it was in tho days of Nero and all the other Caesura and Roman emperors. And that is what, the public likes, whether it is novels, dramas, paintings or photo dramns. Tkero has been much wonderment at the magnitude and beauty of some of the scenes, notably the interior and gardon scenes. But the locale is Italy, where landscape beauty is still a world sight. The Cines company of Italy is composed of many of the wealthiest men of Rome and the Bank of Italy is also said to be largely interested in the company. Many of the wealthy nobil ity are stockholders, and when these pictures were being made the stock holders gave special permission for the use of their gardens and palaces. By this means many of the gorgeous scenes were reproduced with comparative ease, whereas to have built the grounds and palaces specially it would have taken several million dollars and rendered it a business impossibility.
