BAD BUSINESS DISASTERS
One of the Original Fifty-seven Ma
ti0nal Banks Fails in Penn
sylvania.
CARRIES DOWN TWO OTHER OLD BANKS
First Failure Attributed to Recent
Heavy Drain on Available Cash Re-
sources-Others Were Sympa-
thetic-Expect to Resume.

Hollidaysburg, Pa, Dec. 14.-The First
National bank, one of the original fifty
seven national banks of the United
States, suspended business this morning.
The following notice was posted: "On
account of the heavy drain upon the
bank during the past thirty days, espe-
cially during the last two or three days,
the board of directors have decided to
suspend business until further notice."
The First National bank, of Holidays
burg, had a capital of $4,000.
The banks at Martinsbnrg and Will
iamsbug failed as result of the first
failure.
The Martinsburg deposit bank was es-
tablished in 1870. Col. William Jack. of
Hollidaysburg, is its president. The
bank had capital of $25,000. The
Williamsburg bank is controlled by Jack
and Watson, Morrow & Co., of which Col.
William Jack has been president and
don. J ohm Clark, of Williamsburg, cashier.
1t was established in 1873 with capital
of sac, 900.
The officials say that the three banks
will be reopened without loss to deposit
tors after reorganization Is completed.

of ultimately paying the liabilities in full

IMPOUNDING THE WATERS.
some Pointers on the Great water
storage Enterprise Mt Fort
Selden.

A writer from Las Cruces thus prints
in the Ell Paso Times some timely infor-
nation on a Rio Grande valley water
storage enterprise:
"English capital seems destined to ao-
complish for the Rio Grande valley what
American capital was and is doing for
the Pecos valley. The converting of this
already rich country into never failing
agricultural Eden is now only a question
of time, as work has begun on the Fort
Seldom diverting dam, the first one of
chain that will embrace the whole valley.
"As I said, English capital will furnish
the 'sinews of war; A company has
been formed of which Col. Engle1ue, a re-
tired British officer, and q successful
speculator, is president. The capital is
given at $3,5OO,0OO, tidy sum to pursue
operations with. Headquarters will be
in Ell Paso and the management will be
conducted from there through the local
agents over the proposed sites.
"What the company has principally in
view is the constructing Of an immense
reservoir at Elephant Butte, in Sierra
county, sixty miles north of here, which
will be sufficient to thoroughly irrigate
100000 acres in the dryest, drought sea-
son. The plans and specifications will
call for the largest reservoir 10 the world,
and they will be followed to the letter. AT
present the largest reservoir is situated
at Para in India, and the second largest
right here within the confines of New
Mexico. down by Eddy, the kingpin of
the Pecos valley. With the Elephant
Butte reservoir, the territory will enjoy
the double distinction of possessing two
of ;he three largest now graded on the
broad bosom of mother earth.
"The dam at Fort Selden, fourteen miles
north of here, is of minor Importance
when mentioned in the same breath with
the reservoir, but will still call for an ex-
pendlture of near $4,000 for its con-
struction. The preliminary work has
been started, and in Ell Paso thirty-six
oars of Portland cement are awaiting
trans portation there at an early dey.
One important feature of the designs will
be the forcing of the underhow to the
surface. It is an established fact that the
majority Of rivers running through q
sandy country, though often dry, have a
considerable aow beneath the parched
upper bed, and it is for the utilization of
this .ost power the Fort Selden dam has
been designated. The foundation will
penetrate until 1t rests on the bed rock,
and then the underground stream will
naturally be forced to seek the surface
for further progress"

About $50 delegates were present and
many visitors.
Martin Fox, president OF the Iron

been selected to deliver the address of
welcome. Owing to the death of his
mother the address was read by L. l.

More effective action for the enforce

forms were recommended.
Special greetings we're extended to
Delegates Samuel Woods and John NAL
llnson, of England, and Louis Vigouroux,
'of France.
President Gompers, responding to the
address of welcome, referred to the at
tacks on the organization because it was
merely federation and not a more com.
pact union. He showed how the fullest
scope was given to individual opinions
and rights and thus affiliation in the
different labor organizations was posi-
BILE in one federation.
He appealed for continued efforts for
the cultivation of public opinion "a we'll
