SPOKANE TO
GET FARMERS'
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Twelve
cities in which are to be located the
federal farm loan banks were an
nounced today by the farm loan board
and it is expected that within 60 days
the new system will be in operation,
ready to make the loans for which ap
lications already are pouring in from
every section of the country.
The banks will be opened in Spring
field, Mass.; Baltimore, Columbia, S.
C.; New Orleans, Houston, Tex.; St.
Louis, Louisville, St. Paul Omaha,
Wichita, Kan.; Spokane and Berkeley,
Cal.
Stock subscription books of the
bank will be opened within the next
10 days, probably about January 12, to
remain open for 30 days. It is expect
ed, however, that the government will
have to supply most of the $9,000,000
capital under that section of the law
which empowers the secretary of the
treasury to make up the unsubscribed
stock. •
Temporary directors, five to each
bank, will be named, probably within
the next three weeks, by the board.
As soon as the banks have been or
ganized and borrowers have sub
scribed $200,000 of the stock of each
bank, the temporary directors will
surrender their authority to boards of
nine directors each, six of whom will
be named by the farmer borrowers
and three by the farm loan board.
The permanent directors will serve
three years and receive per diem com
pensation, as in the case of federal
reserve bank directors.
Each borrower must subscribe to
stock in the bank from which he bor
rows to the extent of five per cent of
his loan and the original subscribers
to the capital stock are required to
surrender their holding as they may
be needed to meet this situation.
In designating locations for the
banks, the board was guided chiefly
by the needs of rural sections. This
has resulted in placing only two of
the 12 banks in New England and
Middle Atlantic states, the chief cen
ters of population. Three go to the
south, five to the farming states of
the middle west and west, and two to
the Pacific coast.
The banks will be established as
soon as practicable. Under the law
each will have a capital of $750,000.
Almost the first work of the banks
after approving and issuing loans will
be the issuance of farm loan bonds, a
new form of security in this country.
The bonds will be issued in denomina
tions as small as $25, it is expected,
and will bear interest at a rate of one
per cent less than the interest rate
charged farmers on their loans.
What this interest rate will be has
not definitely been determined. It is
limited by law to a maximum of six
per cent. The expectation is that it
will not exceed five and one-half per
cent at first, and subsequently may be
lowered.
ijoans on iarm ianas are limited Dy
the law to 50 per cent value of the
land and may be payable in from five
to forty years. As fast as loans are
made bonds will be issued to cover
them, so that at no time, under the
present plan, will a bank’s entire cap
ital be tied up in loans to the detri
ment of other applicants.
One of the chief tasks confronting
the board is to find experienced em
ployees for the new banks. More than
six thousand applications for positions
have been received. The appointments
will be exempt from civil service regu
lations, but the board intends to as
semble a corps of men experienced in
banking.
The head of each bank will be des
ignated as the registrar. They proba
bly will be residents of the districts
involved and preferably attorneys.
Through a process of having bor
rowers subscribe in small amounts to
the capital stock it is expected that
the banks not long after beginning
operations will be virtually co-opera
tive institutions.
HUSH VOTE
GROWS GREATLY
IN TWO YEARS
(Fairbanks Citizen)
In two years the vote of the terri
tory increased 40 per cent. This is
shown by the returns of the last elec
tion. In 1914 the total vote for dele
gate in the territory of Alaska was
little more than 10,000, while this year
it will reach approximately 14,000.
The greatest gains were noted in the
First division, and the Third division
was next in line. The Fourth division
showed an increase of about 20 per
cent in its vote, while the Second divi
sion remained practically as it was in
1914.
During the next two years, there is
no doubt that the Fourth division will
make a greater gain in number of
votes and in population, owing to the
railroad construction work that will
draw many people north" and the de
velopment that will follow the comple
tion of the road to the coal fields.
During the last two years the great
influx into the Third division was due
to the railroad construction. During
the next two years there will not be as
much immigration to the Third, in all
likelihood, although some increase
may be expected. But in the Fourth
division, the big work on the railroad
will start this spring and will bring
many newcomers here who will make
their permanent homes in the north.
In addition to this, Fairbanks quartz
promises to do more for the country
in the next two years than in the last
ten. If the Ester Dome properties are
opened up, as it is hoped and expected
that they will be, it will mean a big
influx of population within a few
years.
In the First division there were
rapid strides amde in building up a
permanent popuaftion during the last
two years, and in the next two it is
possible that a still larger population
will be noted there, but the growth is
not likely to be as large as in the
years 1915 and 1916.
BILLY SUNDAY BIDS
FAREWELL TO BOSTON
BOSTON, Jan. 15.—Boston tonight
will bid farewell to Billy Sunday.
At the huge tabernacle on Hunting
ton avenue, over the spot where 20
years ago he ran bases faster than any
other big league player in the busi
ness, the rampant revivalist will
preach his last sermon to the folks
who invented dignity and have a stran
gle hold on culture. Billy hasn’t land
ed such a gosh awful wallop to the fit
ness of things among the stiff necks
as was expected.
ui course ail uie precise muics aim
gentlemen around Back bay equipped
their brains with shock absorbers
when he first came, but it wasn’t long
before they took them off. He proved
more interesting than distastful.
“Who,” in Billy’s own words, “was
the mutt that said Boston was clam
my?”
Sunday was received by the elite;
and the ladies came in liberal quan
tities and fancy gowns to, be shocked
by meeting him. That didn’t happen
to be one of Billy’s days for shocking
however, and so the party was disap
pointed.
Much of the revivalist’s time from
now on will be devoted to preparing
his New York campaign, which begins
April 1st.
Sunday’s conversions here number
ed into the thousands. His one sting
ing defeat was the loss of his fight
to put Boston dry. It went wet by a
heavier majority than ever before, de
spite Sunday’s battle.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Faced with a
strong fight by the temperance forces
in the coming legislature to bring
about state-wide prohibition, the
brewers and retail liquor dealers of
Wisconsin have suddenly become ad
vocates of reform. Leaders among
the two branches of the liquor busi
ness say that it will be cleaned up,
and that those saloons which defy
the law will be driven out.
The Wisconsin Brewers’ association,
which meets here soon, will have
placed before it a resolution for bet- 1
ter saloons it is stated. William H.
Austin, legal counsel for the crewers,
in admitting that the question would
come up, said: “There is constant ef
fort on the part of the brewery inter
ests to better conditions in the sa
loons. It is a movement which is be
ing given considerable attention.”
That the brewers have already be
gun action was disclosed when Mil
waukee saloon keepers received circu
lars marked “personal,” which urged
them to obey the law in every respect.
No Milwaukee brewer would admit
sending out the circular, but practi
cally all of them in public statements
commended the action. In view of the
recent movement, added significance
is attached to the recent declaration
by Gustav Pabst before the United
States Brewers’ association that
stricter attention should be given to
the conduct of the saloons and the
number should be limited.
The prohibition forces say that the
reform impulse has come too late, and
the plans started for a state-wide
movement to put the prohibitory
amendment before the state legislat
ure in January with the strongest
possible backing are going forward.
HIGH COST OF PRINT PAPER
r i
BRINGS WOE TO “AUTHORS”!
The newspapers of this and other
sections are not the only sufferers
from the tremendous increase in the
price of print paper, and we are now
threatened with a dearth of the popu
lar novel known as the “thriller,” or
paper-back novel. A writer in the
New York Tribune thus chronicles
the tragedy in the life of the literary
genius who has so long furnished mes
senger boys and servant girls with
reading matter.
“Picture the author of ‘The Perils
of Broadway; or, Florette, the Beau
tiful Cabaret Singer,’ toasting his feet
before the radiator in his flat and
scribbling away at a cent and a half
a word.
“ ‘It was a fight to the death,’
comes red-hot from his gore-dripping
fountain pen. ‘Thrustng the girl be
hind him, Jack Thornton faced the on
coming band with a stern, set face.
A perilous gleam flashed from his
keen eyes. His extended right hand
gripped a menacing revolver without
a tremor. Another moment and they
were upon him. Two shots cracked
sharply on the still night air’
“And just then the telephone bell
rings. The sharp voice of the author’s
publisher rudely interrupts Jack
Thornton’s fight for life.
“ ‘Say, you’ll have to cut that stuff
short!’ he commands. ‘The price of
print paper’s just shot up another 10
per cent, and we’ll have to hold this
yarn in a hundred pages. And we’ll
lose money on it at that. Marry ’em
in the next chapter and wind it up.
And, say, by the way, we won’t want
any more stuff from you. We’re go
ing to cut out publishing your line
The price of paper’s gone so high we
can’t make any money on cheap
fiction.’
“Sadly the author returns to his
scribbling, killing off Jack Thornton’s
enemies with three more shots, throws
the marriage halter over Jack and
Florette, writes ‘Finis’—and goes out
to look for a job.”
