for herself Without money and among strange people. she went where there is sympathy if not chastity. Mrs. Davenport died. in one of the houses of upper Brewery gulch.
 During her illness, she was cared for by kind hands, and all that skill full physician could do was called in to ward off death. The fight was waged against odds too great to be overcome. With broken heart and body racked with pain. not half as hard to endure as her mental agony, the young woman died.
 Mrs. Davenport has a number of realtives who stand high in Graham county. They were pained and shock ed to hear of her death. even willing to overlook the circumstances and take all that was left of her back to their hearts.
 In the busy whirl of life such cases as this are often overlooked. To adapt the words of a famous poet, it might be said
 ''Oh, it was pitiful,
 Near whole cityful.
 Home she had none"

THE REAL FATHER or TRUSTS.

President Myron I. IIerrick said to
the National Bankers Association:
1In an era Of trust (uslnG the word in
it's popular sense) and great combina-
ton aiming at the restriction il not the
entire removal OF competition, a move
ment reaching far and wide in trade
and productive industry, the banks have
gone on in the old way. every one Tor it.
self welded TO the idea OF individuality
and independence as a CHERISHED tradi.
tiop.'
This seeming sacrifice has not, how.
ever, the lofty patriotic motive that this
eulogy might lead people to suppose.
The plain truth is that the national
bank system holds the distinction OF
being the only business i'll the country
that enjoys II monopoly through direct
paternal ARE Of the government.
Using the word trust III its popular
sense, the national bank system is the
father Of trusts.
Through their exclusive control Of the
volume OF circulation, the banks are
allied more closely into II common
inter set than they could ever become
through all the corporation laws in ex-
~iatence.
Through this stuPendous privilege the
bank system manipuIates all business to
a degree unknown to any institution.
In spirit, in operation and in effect
many national bnnks form one body, and
it is personitied in J.. Pierpont Morgan,
So the banks may well afford to 90 on
sin the old way"
More perfect consolidation in interest
is impossible.-St. Louis Post Dispatch

Itoeky Mountain OH Company.

Tho Rocky Mountain Oil Company
the work of developing the Elko oil
fields. Its derricks have been blown
over by heavy winds and tools have
beeL lost in The well. These misfor-
tunes have cost the company heavily
aud it's managers were brought face to
face with the problem OF giving up the
work or calling upon the people Of the
State for the necessary funds to on
tinue the work. Mr.. 4. II. Merritt and
MIR. George F.. Davis, the managers OF
the company, undertook to raise $4,000,
the amount necessary to put down the
well. They went to Reno and succeeded
in raising $500 OF the amount. They
returned to Elko aud canvassed the sit
amount subscribed in Reno. This left
them e.. ZOO short o: the amouu requir-
cd. But this did not discourage them
and Oh Monday they interviewed the
business men Of the town and invited
then to attend Il meeting that evening
1T the Office OF Brown * Henderson.
Seven or eight Of the business men met
at the appointed time and Mr.. Davis and
MIR. Merritt laid the condition Of affairs
plainly before them. Discussion fol-
lowed and tire situation vas thor
oughly ~canvassed
II was stated in the meeting 10y Mr..
Burcham that he had examined the
formation from the well that afternoon
and was of the opinion that the COM
pany had II cinch to get oil md he be-
lieyed the stock Of the company at ten
cents per share was a good Investment
at this time.
Subscriptions we're then called for
and Mr.. G.. a.. Burcham OF Rnnds-
burg, California, headed the list with
$1,000. Other subscriptions followed
and $500 Of the amount WAS soon rails
cd and yesterday MIR. Davis and Mr..
Merritt canvassed the town and sue
cecded in securing subscriptions for the
full amount. Mr.. Burcham raised his
previous subscription $3.50 and two OF
the subscribers OF Monday ightdoubled
their 500 subscriptions. Tins in
sures the Company sufficient money to
thoroughly prospect the OIL field.
The liberal way in whicl. the people
of Elko responded to the needs Of the
company not only shows their apprecia-
tinn Of the importance IF developing the
oil field, but also their confidence
in the honesty, integrity and fairness of
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Merritt. The ISpE-
PENDENT believes thus confidence will
not he abused 10y then.
This enterprise 10 becomes II home
enterprise and it should have the hearty
cooperation and assistance OF every
citizen Of Elko. \ good word costs
nothing and Is sometimes OF inestimable
value.
