Rural WreStlings.

The business of converting the sur
plus horses of the West into fertilizer
is booming in surprising degree. Six
hundred sacks of fertilizer recently ar
rived at San Francisco in one Shipment
destined for the Hawaiian Islands A
vast amount OF fertilizer is also made
from the refuse at the big salmon ca nneries
on the Columbia, and this. too, is shipped
to the Hawaiian sugar fields. 1t seems
odd to consider the conversion Of horse and
salmon ipto sugar.

In its early days the bank employed fifty
four CLERKS and the yearly salary list
amounted to but little over 100000, the
chief accountant receiving 81 ,225 year.
At the present time the number of en-
ployes is 500.
Whether lost or stolen the banks notes
will always be paid. Once clerk ran
away with about $1OO 900 worth OF notes.
For six months the theft and the number
OF notes were advertised and at the end
of that time a Jew appeared with them
and demanded that they be paid. On
being refused he went to the exchange and
raised such an outcry, saying that as the
bank refused to pay its own notes it must
be insolvent, that the bank called him
back and paid him the full amount Of
the stolen notes.
Another time one OF the directors de-
posted $3.50 900 and took single note.
He put the piece of paper on the mantelpiece
and fell asleep on waking he found the
note gone. He thought 1t had fallen into
the fire, and got another note. giving I
guaranty that il the first note ever turned
up he would be responsible for it. Thirty
years later, the man having died in the
meantime, the first note was presented for
pa yment at the bank and the bank stood
the loss. The mans estate had been divid-
ed and nothing could be recovered.
Clerks OF standing and character are Sc
lected to remain at the bank every night OF
the year and on Sundays and bank hoD
days. A guard of soldiers is on duty
every night and they are assisted by a
body OF watchmcn, consisting of portcrs
and workmen fully trained how to act
in case of an emergency.
No note OF the sc, 900 or so issued daily
is ever issued again. Each note as it is
paid in is cancelled and an account Kept
OF its filing. One of the curiosities OF
the bank is a f25 note which was paid in
after being out Ill years. In the bank
album for large notes and other curiosties
is a f1 900 ,0G0 banknote which was once
issued for convenience in n transaction
involving large amount OF money.
