A THRIVING
INDUSTRY

At the present time one of the
principal local industries is the
manufacture of brick at Dan
O'Doan's brick yard, a short dis
tance from Fallon. In company
with Mr. O'Doan, a STANDARD
representative paid the yard a
visit a few days since. and was
thoroughly entertained regard
ing the manufacture of brick, as
well as surprised at the magni-
tude of the concern. The yard
itself is a hive of industry and
furnishes employment te a num-
Der of men. The brick is of a
superior quality. In fact, Mr.
O'Doan declares that in twenty
Ave years experience in the man.
ufacture of brick he has never
turned out a better quality than
the present lot. lie expresses
surprise that the industry has
been overlooked and neglected
in this county for SO long. At
the yard everything is conven.
iently arranged and neat as can
be. The soil and location are
ideal. At present about 5000
brick r moulded and ready for
the kiln, which will be started
up the latter part OF the present
month. Many orders have al
ready been PLACED with Mr..
O'Doan for his excellent building
material and many more will
follow the erection of the first
brick building in Fallon.
Mr.. O'Doan has taken up a
homestead near town and will
make this place his future home.
Men of Mr.. O'Doan's calibre are
always welcome in any COM
munity and it is to be hoped
that others imbued with the
same spirit of industry and pro-
gressiveness will locate here.

frantic was the despairing rush toward
Mukden that the Russians were unable
TO care for their wounded, leaving men,
in throes Of anguish, lying in the road

Many soldiers, losing their selfcon-

MOVING THE CROPS.
West and South Require Millions of
Money for This Purpose.
5 100000

The annual movement of money from
New York, the financial center of the
country, to the West and South, to move
the crops has begun, says the Toledo
Blade. In the ordinary business of the
country. a transfer Of credits is the main
feature; but when it comes to harvest
ing, threshing and moving the grain crop,
the picking, ginning and packing of cot
ton, the demand is for actual money.
Hence each year, from the end of August
to about the middle of November. the
demand for currency comes on the fnan-
cial centers Money goes West and
South by millions of dollars in the ag-
gregate. 1t is paid ont to farmers and
planters, who in turn pay their la Dor and
other expenses, and purchase their fall
supplies. About mid November this is all
done, and the tide of currency turns to-
ward the financial centers once more.
This annual movement has the certainty
and regularity of the tides Of the sea.
All over the country there are banks
in the county seats and the larger towns
and villages. The farmers and business
men deposit therein their surplus funds
One Of these country banks, say in an in
terror town in Iowa. finds that it has q
larger amount of money on hand than
it can use in loans and discounts. Its
officials do not allow this cash to remain
idle in the vault. They send this unused
surplus to the bank in Chicago with
which it does business, receiving interest
thereon. The Chicago institution, finding
that it also has more money than it
can proftably Use, sends its surplus
funds to its correspondent in New York.
This is simply an example and illustra
ton Of what is going ON all over the
country. The small banks send the funds
they do not require to the larger centers,
which in turn send their excess to the
great financial centers, Of which New
York is the chief. The result is a gen
eral movement of money during the sum-
mer to the East
The banks of New York City often
have total of such funds from the in
terror of 400 millions or more in August,
on which they pay 2 per cent interest.
When the harvest and crop-moving pc
riOd comes, usually about Sept 1. the
country banks are called On by their Gus
tomers-the farmers and planters, the
grain buyers. the cotton factors-for
When the Iowa bank, mentioned above,
finds this demand beginning, it calls ON
its Chicago correspondent for the funds
deposited. The Chicago bank in turn
calls on the New York bank for it's bal
ance. And as this is true of all the coun-
try banks, the result is a heavy move
ment Of money from the great financial
centers out into the country
This demand for crops as above stat
ed, will end about the middle of No
vember, and the return flow of money to
the East will begin, and continue during
December and January. In February,
the New York banks generally have the
largest amount of deposits from the in
terror. When spring opens, there is a
smaller outward movement, to provide
funds for planting the crops. Then comes
the summer dullness. and a return flow
of money eastward sets in, which lasts
until the crops begin to move.

stand against fleir relentless foes.
For hours the battle ragged. The fire
of the japanese light artillery, which
had not been left behind in the pur-
suit. was terrific and moved down the
Russians by hundreds. Corpses
strewed the battlefield. For the length

the most sanguinary battle of the war.
The Japanese. seeing the awful eff
feet of their machine gun fire on the
Russians. charged with fixed bayonetS,

1t is now apparent that Oyama S
purpose by pressing the Russian posi-

Kuropatkin'S attention while the Jap
anese right wing was thrust around
the Russian rear to block the Russian
line of retreat. But Kuropatkin. at
its very inception. had his eyes upon
