have control of the property will have

the harbor occasionally for half hour
but the largest warships cannot get

GAIN IN CASH RESERVE.
Report of Associated Banks Shows a
Large Increase.


NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Finan-
cier this week says:
The official statement of the New
York Associated Banks last week
showed a gain in the cash reserve
nearly equal to the amount which was
estimated from the traceable move
ments of money during the week, the
net increase in cash as reported in the
statement being $2,152,400, while the
estimates called for gain of $3,1S7,-
500. There was an increase Of SO, 6 6S6,-
700 in specie. Inasmuch as the aver
ages of the exports of gold coin to
Cuba in the week, which were one
and a quarter millions, were Offset by
more than two and three-quarter mil
lions receipts from Australia and
other sources, 1t would appear that
the difference between the net result
ing from these movements and the
amount of increase in specie reported
in the statement was due to the bring
ing over of average gains in this item
from the previous week.
Deposits were increased $2,919,100,
with the resulting gain in surplus re-

Delegate Rodey says that the joint statehood bill will be passed at this session of congress. The Roswell Record says that if this be so then we will be in another campaign before we know it, as according to the provis- ions of the bill the officers of the new state are to be voted for at the same time the statehood bill is voted on. Every one of the hundreds of candi- dates will be for the measure with all their friends, which will be great factor in the ratification of the meas- ure; and the beauty of it all is that Uncle Sam is to pay the full expenses of the election whether the bill is rati- fled by the people or not Albuquer- que Citizen.

It has always been considered ques tionable taste for man to put his titles or college degrees upon his wis iting cards. Recently Rear Admiral Upshur complained to the navy de- partment that civil engineer, retired, was putting Rear AdmiraP upon his visiting cards. Secretary Morton was called upon to decide the ethics of the case. He announced that the civil engineer was not entitled personally or officially to print Rear Admirar upon his social bits of pasteboard. But his having done so, added the secretary, is not "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. It is horrid taste, however, for anybody entitled or not. Imagine Theodore Roosevelt printing upon his cards the legend President of the United States of America" If man really is a distinguished rear admiral he does not need to advertise the fact.

There is a man in Iowa who is cred tied with having added s30, 900 to the wealth of that state during the past year-Prof. Holden, of the Iowa Agricultural college. He travelled thousands of miles all over the state, featuring to farmers and showing them how to increase their corn crop from ? bushels to the acre to 40 bushels. And the harvest justifies his claim The farmers listened to him gladly and have added 100, ,O0O, 900 bushels to the customery yield of the state. All this was done by selecting the best seed and following scientific methods of tilling.
