One hundred and sixty- persons were drowned in the wreck of the steamship Tariet Maru off Cape Notoro, northwest of Hokkaido, at 10.45 o'clock the night of July 27th, says a dispatch to the Asani a leaning iokio newspaper. The Tairei Maru, nominally is a freight steamship, but was carrying a number of passengers. She is operated by the North Japan Steamship company between the island of Saghalien and Hokkaido, northernmost of the main Japanese islands. She was bound for Otaru at the time of the wreck. She is a vessel of 1240 tons. The Asahi's dispatch came from Toyohara, a town on Saghalien. The ship carried 138 passengers and fifty-four members of the crew. Eighteen passengers and five members of the crew survived, reaching Toyohara in lifeboats. The cause of the wreck is obscure. The Asahi's dispatch says it resulted from a collision with the Kamikura Maru, a vessel belonging to the Kish-imoSteamship company of Osaka, but advices to the Nichi Nichi, other leading paper declare it was due to striking rocks. This dispatch time from Otaru. All aboard the ship were Japanese. The flisaster was the second serious one in Japanese marine annals within the month, the steamer Maru, having floundered between Formosa and the southern end of the Japanese island system on July 11, with loss of all but one of the fifty-eigh- t persons aboard. She also was a freight vessel. Ogdeti, At a public auction on the courthouse steps here, Joseph Wallace of the office of Sheriff R. D.

Washington. With the number oi bank failures decreasing from month to month in the states west of the Mississippi river where stringent conditions obtained last winter, high treasury officials have expressed the belief that the reported bumper crop in many of those states had placed the financial institutions of those districts on their feet again. Treasury records show that 342 banks were forced to clo.se their doors between January 1 and July 1. These include 267 state and 75 national institutions, and while a few more have gone out of business since, the records show that the failures in May were 30 per cent fewer than In April in states west of the Mississip pi and 25 per cent less in June compared with May. Despite the long list of failures, the treasury believes that any tightening of credit that may come next winter will have little effect on the banks. They have been able td for tify themselves in various- - ways and are prepared to .withstand any calls that may come to them, except, of course, in isolated cases where the strain may be too great. The Agricultural Credit corpora tion organized last spring at the di rection of President Coolidge has been able to reopen some twenty of the banks that failed and advices to the treasury indicate several score more in the northwestern states are now receiving aid which will enable them to weather any new crisis. Most of the banks to which the corporation has extended and ate small institutions and require only a small amount of money to put them on a firm foundation, officials declared. They explained that the corpora tion, therefore, would be able to help many more banks than was originally expected. Commenting further on the report ed big crops in many of the wheat growing sections, officials declared this meant that millions of dollars in credit extended to farmers would be liquidated or the loans reduced this fail, and paper which some of the banks had been forced to charge off as uncollectable, would now become obligations upon which the banks would realize. The treasury's figures on bank failures showing what is believed to be a nearly correct list of all failures west of the Mississippi river follows: Texas, 1 national bank and 7 state banks; Arkansas, none and 3;' Minnesota, 3 and 26; Iowa, 1 and 29; Missouri, none and 8; North Dakota, 9 and 39; South Dakota, 12 and 54; Nebraska, 5 and 8; Kansas, 3 and 8; Montana, 12 and 28; Wyoming, 6 and 8; Colorado, 2 and 1; New Mexico, 10 and 7; Oklahoma, 6 and 32; Washington, 2 and 3; Oregon, none and 2; California, none and 1; Idaho, 2, and 1; Utah, 1 and 0; Nevada, none and none; Arizona, none and 1; Louisiana, none an done.
