MEETING OF BANKERS.
Bankers C. W. Winter, Hugh Wad
dell and George Burdsal of Colville, F.
L. Reinoehl of Chewelah and others
representing the different county bank
ing interests attended a meeting at
Spokane last Sunday of bankers from
eastern Washington and northern Idaho.
Financial conditions were thoroughly
canvassed. Agreement was made that
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland
clearing house checks would be receiv
ed in lieu of cash, and the railroads and
commercial houses of this section have
also assented to this basis for conduct
ing business. Previous to the present
money stringency about 93 per cent of
the county's business was conducted on
paper, hence for a short time no great
inconvenience is expected in operating
to a still further degree on paper. On
ly about 20 per cent of the wheat crop
has been moved, owing to the inability
of buyers to get bank credit. This is
now overcome and with the influx of
money in payment for this year's great
crop a general betterment of financial
conditions will result.
The extension of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway is to be in
full operation from Dakota to Puget
Sound by the fall of 1909. The section
from St. Joe City, Idaho, westerly to
the Columbia river should be in opera
tion during 1908, and its magnificent
territory getting the full benefit of
modern town building and the conse
quent benefit of short wagon hauls on
merchandise and farm produce.
At the meeting of the Washington
Good Roads association held at Belling
ham this week Kennewick was chosen
the seat of the next annual convention.
Samuel Hill was unanimously reelected
the president of the organization. Re
solutions were passed asking for the
abolishment of the state highway board
and establishing the appointment of a
state engineer, also for the passing of
a law requiring the use of, a wagon tire
not less than three inches wide for wa
gons carrying a ton or more.
