IVancisco, Gal , Feb. 4—
Pacific coast cities from San Diego,
C»!., to Vancouver, B. C., have
found themselves confronted with
a Chinese tong war. W ith three
already shot and an artnist ce I
vi.M-iteo. mere canes
lenders of the great, Chinese
family societies have made read’,
to defend themselves and avenge
their friend*.
Two distinct feuds must be
wiped out, before the clans in
Portland, Ore., Ssn Jose, Sun
Fianciseo and other points may
hrv down their strictly modern
automatic, firearms which have re
placed the hatchet of former years,
and turn over to the Occidentals
the taxiccbs they pursue and in
which they escape.
At San Jose, Lee Kee, a mem
ber of tnc Hip Sing tong, is dead,
and VVash Get, n Hop Sing tong
nafin, is under arrest. This feud,
which started with the beating of
a Hop Sing man wiro was collect¬
ing a gambling fund, has swept
over the efforts at pacification or
the six companies the supervising
body of all the tongs. In San
Kr i ■■•cisco when Lee Kee’s death
b came known, allies of the Hip
Sings shot two Hop Sing men,

One of the wisest things bank directors can u.> is to so- ,5*! !

H $ paragraph is taken from Pratts Digest of National Bank
Laws;
M ‘•It should be the chief aim of hank managers to make ^ p
their respective institution strong. A surplus fund should j&
a be capital created and from ti the creditors earth, gs in that trying will times. be a protection There to few the ^ fe|
t to e are
r-s! £ items, if any, that look better upon h balance sheet of a M ®
i \ . tiank . than . a large surplus, , and . so well i, calculated * . . , to secure
I for it public confidence. It is, therefore, on all accounts the |g
best policy to accumulate such fnnd as rapidly ns possible
Tbe wisdom of this is seen in the provision of the bank act ^

* ar niP, t ' D ^ k’-st nn'ht passed the
Occupation !<ix Ordinance, about;
which there has been n bit of spec-
ulatiou lately, inasmuch as it was
an eroeigency cuea.sure adopted
some yea.s ago when the city was
heavily in debt, srd the saloon-
were closed and now that the t reas-
| urv is in a much bettor condition,
| niari y tno business men consid-
ered that it was nothing more than
right that the" b' relieved of tl is
extra tax
The Council, however, didn't
view the matter that way, and
passed the ordinance almost un&o-
imously, but »t the same time,
made a reduction of n bit more
than 25 per cent, on last year’s li¬
cense. This helps of course, and
the merchants of the city appre-
eiate it, but u uat that next year
they will be relieved altogether.
There was not a representative
body of the business men at the
council meeting to protest against
the tax. but Mr. L. O. Tisdel,
member of the Water, Light and
Bond Commission, and merchant,
fil*o Mr. W R. Bowen, president
of the Empire Mercantile Com¬
pany, wore present, and made an
\ appeal to the Council to abolish
j ih i occupation tax entirely.
Mr. Tisdel and Mr. B.iwer re-
i minded the council of the fact that

VOL. XVII. NO. 8
cite Occupation tax was adopted
«t, tha tone when the lute 8. ft.
Wilcox’ higli license bill was
passed abolishing the saloons in
Bvn Hill County, and that it was
then necessary to impose this c-
mergency tax in order to meet the
expenses of the city. The gen¬
tlemen stated that since that time,
through the excellent business
judgment with which the city’s af¬
fairs have been handled the city
tvis gotten practically out of debt,
and that now there is no need of a
continued tax upon the merchants,
who ordinarily sacridc quite a lot
for charitable purples and moth¬
er ways, that really are for the
good of the city. Mr. Tisdel and
Mr. ltow?u contended that the
principle was wrong, and notwith¬
standing me fact that there ar
other cities who levy the occupa¬
tion tax, it w unnecessary in our
case as it has already served the
purpose tor which it was created,
and should now be abolished.
