1t appears that while sleighing thru

rifle from under the seat and shot one

them into gallop and there started a

Attic the light sleigh literally flew

NO PROFIT in POTATOES.
Colorado Growers of tho Tuber Com.
IN bine to Raise the Price.

thrie, Col, Dec. 26.--Because OF
TIL Ul.xceedingly low price of potatoes
and the slow movement of the crop the
farmers and potato dealers have form
ed a combine to raise and maintain
the price OF potatoes and prevent deal
ers from undertaking each other In
handling the crop.
Investigations prove that the market
warrants higher price than Is being
paid for potatoes and that Texas and
other points are ready to pay from 10
to is cents more a hundred than they
are paying now for Greeley crop. Dx-
perience has shown that a low market
price does not mean n free movement
Of the crop, but on the contrary, buy
ers cut down the number of their or
ders because Of the expectation that the
decline will continue.
Potatoes are bringing about 80 cents
a hundred now. If a raise Of only 10
cents can be secured 1t will mean $780,,
900 to this district Thirty cents a hun
sdred does not pay the grower for the
production Of his crop.

LOST BANK BOOKS
The Cashier Tells How It Would Be
Impossible to Effect a Th,,ft.

Impossible to Effect a Th,.ft.
[Chicago TribuneJ
If you don't have at least five per-
sons every day come in here to give
ontice of their lost bank book, we
think 1t unusual" said cashier of
one Of the city banks recently. ~
haven't any, theories about It, but 1t is
fact that there are twice as many of
these books lost in the summer time
as there are in the winter.
"As soon as the book is reported lost
check Is made against 1t in the
bank and the loser is requested to adj
vertise the loss. For from fortnight
to thirty days ensuing no money can
be withdrawn on that account, unless
the book shall be found. If not found
thte depositor must apply for new
book. Generally an affidavit must first
be made that the loser canot find the
book and that 1t has not been trans
ferred or assigned.
Cali this is scarcely necessary, but
1t makes a bank absolutely safe n res
pect to that deposit, and it puts the
depositor to enough trouble to make
him CIR her careful thereafter. lGvery-

lined, the depositor may get q new
book, which means opening new ac-
count, as accounts are never dupli-
Gated.
"In my experience of many years /
do not recall a case where finder, have
presented books in hopes of with
drawing money. 1t would be almost
impossible for person not the owner
of the book to withdraw a cent on the
account. At tn time of the original
deposit the depositor before getting a
book has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositors
identity, and to protect the depositor
The depositor must also leave an auto
graph on the bank register. Whenever
money is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order. This Is an eff
fectual test. Each book Is numbered
and bears the depositor's name.
1--WE have been asked If depositcrs
would not be better protected If banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered it. We can see no
advantage in that. The plan would
not defeat the purposes of thief,
for one would steal a bank book would
withdrawal Of deposits is SO well
guarded that even with the owners
name a finder could not get money
from the bank.
"rhere are probably from 1,2o, to
1900 books lost every year, of which
400 to 500 eventually turn up. That
means from third to two-tifths
one per cent Of the whole number OF
books vt disappear, and one third OF
that number get back to the ow 1ers
Where the rest so is puzzle not to
be solved.
