SOME FEATURES.
PICtiFIELD COMMERCIAL AND
SAVINGS BANK.

Early In the spring of 1899, local cap
ital conceived the idea of organizing a
Commercial and Savings Bank at
Richheld, which idea crystalized in the
organization of the above named bank.
Mr.. Hans Tuft of Monroe, James A..
Ross of Joseph, prominent stockmen
and capitalists, and Hon. w. NJ Nc
Carly were among the principal or
ganiZers Of the institution.
They succeeded in interesting James

known throughout the state, who has
considerable interests in this section Of
the country; N. S. Nelson, president OF
the Mt, Pleasant Commercial a Saw
ings Bank Andrew Nelson, who was
then president OF the San Pete
County Coop; o. f. Wall, T..
c. Jensen II. Anderson, well
known capitalists, and number
OF well known local capitalists OF Sc
Vier county. These gentlemen perfect
ed the organization and In May 1899 the
doors were opened.
1t Is little wonder that success has
attended It's incorporation and rapid
growth.
The Richheld Commercial & Savings
Bank was incorporated with capital
stock fully paid UP, of $4,000 and
soon surplus OF $1,000 was created,
with deposits OF 100000. and thus be-
came recognized as one of the solid An
ancial institutions of the state.
No better evidence OF its responsible
ity and strength can be afforded than
the facts that, although there have been
many woud-be purchasers of stock, not
"a share has been offered for sale.
At present II Is differed as follows:

cent Of that sum. They are invalu-
able in the digging and hauling of the
crop,
A HOME EXAMPLE.
The Jensen boys of this city put in
nine acres of hest seed last spring.
Some OF this was entirely new land for
this purpose. OF the whole patch they
harvested nearly l40 tons OF beets. Some
of that which had been devoted to this
crop last year yielded 20 tons to the
acre. and II is believed that next year
the entire piece of ground can be made
to average 20 tons. They realized the
neat little sum of $3.50 for their crop
this year.
FATTENS CATTLE.
1t has been ascertalned that the tops
OF the sugar beets cannot be excelled
for fattening cattle and increasing the
flow of milk in cows. The stock IL
turned In upon the land as soon az the
beets are out, and readily devour the
tops Experiments have proven that
they VIII fatten quicker on this feed
than on grain.

RUMoR or a CHANGE.
Have Superintendents Easley AND
Fox, of the Santa Fe, Made an
change.

For the last few days there has
been a rumor circulating among local
railroad people to the effect that H. j..
Easley, superintendent OF the western
Kansas division, and F. C. Fox, SUI
perintendent of tie New Mexico di-
vision, have exchanged divisions. The
following report, which comes from
Newton, serves to confirm the gener-
ell belief in the rumor:
IF. G. Fox, the new west end SUI
perintendent from La Junta, was
shown over the division yesterday
He and the former Newton superin-
tendent, F. J. Easley, have changed
Places
In spite of this convincing report ii
is thought here by some that there is
nothing in the rumor 1t was given
out this morning at the general SUI
perintendent's Office that no such
change has occurred SO far as a-i
known here, and it was further stat
ed that if such change was made it
would be known here az soon as at
any other place.
Although there are some who think
that there is nothing in the report,
there are a great number who are of
the opinion that the report is true
and that something authentic regard
ing the change will turn up in few
days.-Topeka State Journal.

The people of Albuquerque wanted

bosses. They sent a very large dele
cation to Santa Fe and got a bill
through creating the county, the terms
of the bill calling for an election to
take place in April for the purpose of
electing two county commissioners, a
probate judge and an assessor.
The object was to get rid Of the
Hubbells and boss rule and redeem

Quidation of political debts or as
means of rewarding party fealty or
furnishing the assertion of political in

After the people of Albuquerque had
accomplished this they proposed to
hold an election.
However, the Hubbells' Hughes
and Albright, who have been bene-
fitting by the outrageous conditions
down there, concluded to thwart the
will of the people by amending the bill
SO as to permit the legislature to
name the two county commissioners
of the new county and permitting such
commissioners to select the probate
Judge and the assessor, the last named
position to 60 to Albright.
The bill was introduced by Jas. s.
Duncan. of this county, who with his
colleague, Chas. A. Spiess, got the
bill through legislating city officers of
Las Vegas into Office for another year
without the formality of an election.
The governor speedily signed the
amended bill before committe COM

gentlemen found when they got there
that they could do nothing and sent
