Spokane Banks Move to Form National Currency Association
W D Vincent of Spokane Clearing House and Old National Bank proposes an Inland Empire currency association to issue emergency notes under new national law. First meeting planned in Spokane in mid August with banks across eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana expected to join. The plan relies on depreciation of clearing house certificates and uses deposits of U S bonds to secure notes, with federal approval optional. The piece contrasts this with political debates on corporate influence and election platforms, noting voting trends in Walla Walla and impending voter registration deadlines.

Kettle Falls Railroad Aims to Link Miles City to Spokane
Inland Empire head Jay P. Graves outlines a plan to build a railroad from Miles City to the Columbia river at Kettle Falls and extend toward Spokane. He envisions irrigated fruit lands with orchards and vineyards boosting eastern Washington and compares potential gains to Wenatchee and Yakima. Graves urges citizen support, notes a 70 mile rail spur to Miles and possible river boat or rail service for orchard areas, and cites regional fruit booms as proof of viability. J P Currie reports about 150 boxes of cherries and strong yields from river fruit producers, signaling a heavy harvest.
