1t Went Into an Immense Hole in the
 Ground.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The Big Bend National Bank of Davenport, Wash ington, has been closed by direction of the comptroller of currency because of insolvency and National Bank Exam finer Eugene T. Wilson has been ap- pointed receiver. The failure of this bank, according to a statement issued by the comptroller, is due to losses sustained upon excessive loans, prin- cipally to mining interests in which the officers of the bank are identified.
 Following is a statement of the re- sources and liabilities of the bank as shown by it's last report of its condi-
 tion to the comptroller, November 10, 1904:
 Resources-Loans and discounts, $391, ,15S; overdrafts, $55, ,46O; United States bonds, S13,56O; bonds, securities, etc., $2, 753; banking house, $2, 360; other real estate, $SO64; due from banks and bankers, $7O,544; cash and cash items. $33,4 ,435; redemption fund, $625; total, $574, ,96S.

IF MAS ExPEcTED.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 25-The Chron- icle today says: "Thei effort to car ry through a huge mining enterprise is believed to be the chief cause of the closing of the Big Bend National Bank at Davenport, Wash, today. This en- terprise is the driving of a tunnel into Palmer mountain in OttanOgan county for a distance estimated a two miles, for cutting many veins of god and silver ore at great depth. For several years c. c. May, president, and ex- Lieutenant Governor F. H. Luce, a di- rector of the bank, have been backing this plan and it is believed the bank had been involved by heavy loans to further the plan.
 The bank has been regarded with caution by other hanks for months and the collapse was not entirely uneXpect- ed. The bank had no branches so far as is known, and was backing no bus mess houses. Its depOsitors were main ly farmers, among whom President May had great personal popularity. The other banking house at Davenport is stated to be in good condition, and it is stated that the country banks of eastern Washington are in the best condition they have been in for years. It is not impossible that arrangements may be made for the Big Bend Ma tional Bank to reopen.

CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with Rs SCaT 10 Recall Awful Sore
 Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be- ginning and end of that terrible disease, eczema, which caused my babe untold suffering and myself many sleepless nights.
 "My babe was born seemingly a fair, healthy child, but when she was three weeks old a swelling appeared on the back of her head, and in course of time broke. It did not heal but grew worse, and the sore spread from the size of dime to that of a dollar. I used all kinds of remedies that could think of, but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t grew worse. Her hair fell out where the sore was, and feared 1t would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on & visit, and when he saw the baby be told me to get Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment right away.
 "To please him did so, and to my surprise by their use the sore began to heal over, the hair grew over it, and to-day she has nice head of hair, her skin is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to recall that awful sore, and it is over eight months and no sign of its returning"

(From Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, D. c., May a.-Direc-
tor Roberts, of the mint bureau, has
lust returned to Washington from a trip
through the South, where he went IN conf
pany with eigh Hunt. formerly of Iowa,
but now tile owner of an extensive lnnd
concession In the Soudan.
The visitors journeyed as far South as
Tuskegee, Ala. Mr.. Hunt has obtained a
concession OF large tract Of land from
tLs British government in South Africa,
and ccntcmplates cultivating large por-
zion OF IL in cotton. He has conceived the
idea OF availing himself of the Soudan-,
ese labor, which is cheap and plentiful,
in doing the rough farming work, and OF
placing them under the direction of
Southern negroes. familiar with the culti-
walton of the staple. K.
1t Is Ills belief that the land ceded
to him by the British government Is
highly susceptible to the cultivation Of
cotton, and that under the direction Of
negro cotton planters who know how to-
plant and care for cotton. the industry
could be made very profitable Mr.. Hunt
conferred with Booker Washington, the
director of the Tuskegee Institute. who,
1t is said. heartily concurred In the pro-,
posed plan, and promised to assist Mr..
Hunt as far as 1t was possible for him
| to do so. .
1t is understood that Mr.. Hunt. at the
outset, will furnish transportation TO
| South Africa to twelve Southern negro
| families the intention being later on, to
increase this colonization to one hundred
families, from the South, II the venture
should prove profitable and the new
ccmers are satisfied With their new sur
roundings "A part OF this new negro
colony will be taken from the 7 lskegee
institute, and part from the school at
Hampton. Va.
Mr.. Hunt feels sanguine over the re-
! suit of his new venture. He declares
! the lands owned by him are Ideal cotton
lands. and that the climate, though warm,
the tract being near the equator, Is ex-
actly suited to the Southern negro.
| "A railroad Is now building from Sua-
kin. of the Red Sea, to Berber, in the
Soudnn. which will probably be COM
| pleted by fall. This road, when finished,
will proyid, direct railroad transportation
Ito the tract of land owned by Mr. Hunt,
Thereby affolding an outlet to the pros
duct of the Soudan cotton plantations,
through the Red Sea, to every port In the
world.
The colonists will leave for their new
homes in the fall.
