Mlnot National Bank Forced to Sus.
pend Operations as a Result Of
Making Loans That Arc Said
to Be Unreliable.
to Be Unreliable.

The Minot National bank failed to
open its doors for business one day
last week and a notice posted on the
door read: CLOSED pending the action
of the controller of the currency"
For several weeks there have been
rumors that the bank was In financial
trouble, based on excessive and unreli.
able loans. The announcement Is made
semi.oHcially that the banks reserve
is considerably below the statutory re-
ouirements, but there is something
like $4,000 credited to the reserve
funds.
Some time ago, soxreport says, the
directors called President Erickson's
attention to the loans being made and
instructed him to be a little more pru-
dent. Report says he continued max
ing the Objectionable loans, and A. F.
Slocum, a director, was made tenn
porary president, presumably for a
period pending the closing of a deal
by which Joseph Roach and others
connected with the Second National
bank were to get a controlling inter
est in the Mjpot National.
1t Is thought that while this deal
was in progress it was discovered that
the banks reserve was below the legal
mark and the negotiations IRE held
in allegiance. Rumors of financial
trouble started a small run on the
bank the day before it closed.
r. B. Chapman, national bank ex-
aminer, has been appointed receiver.
The statement of the total resources
and liabilities of the bank at the date
Of its last report of condition, Aug. 25,
1905, shows that the total resources
on that ate were S187,177 and the
liabilities exactly the same.
The belief prevails that the Minot
National will pay out dollar for dollar.

Artillery Duels Occur Daily
Along the Fronts of the
Two Armies on the Shakhe

GENERAL KUROKTS HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Feb. 13.-The Japanese artillery,
which seldom replied to the Russian
bombardment during the preceding
three months, has become more active,
and artillery duels along some portion
of the front occur almost daily.
While there has been considerable
suffering on the outposts, where IL was
impossible to keep fires, sickness among
the troops has steadily decreased, and
there is probably less Of it than in any
other large army that has ever been in
the field at any season.
TOXIC, Feb. 13.-The Russians con-
tinued to lombard portions of Field
Marshal Oyama's center and right on
Saturday. The Russians continue the
construction of defensive works on
their right to the southwest Of Menta-
pan, where they are erecting an epaule-
ment for battery of twenty-four
guns. The Japanese recently surround

BY THE LEGISLATORS
Eloquent Speakers
Pay Tribute to
Lincoln.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13.-ImpreSsive
ceremonies commemorative of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln were held in the
Assembly chamber to-day. both houses
attending. The lower house conducted
business UP to IL o'clock, when the
Senators marched in, led by Secretary
Lewis Hilborn and Governor Pardee,
the orchestra playing Yankee Doodle
as they filed to the seats provided for
them. Speaker Prescott delivered some
remarks of greeting to the Governor
and the Senators and Rev. w. S. Hos
kinson, the Senate chaplain, delivered
the invocation.
Introductory remarks were made by
Lieutenants Governor Anderson. He
said the grandest heritage of the ma
ton was the free institutions estab-
lished by her great men. Lincoln, more
than any other man. he said, personiied
and dignified the practical application
OF the spirit of human freedom.
Senator Nj. l.. Ward of San Diego
spoke on the boyhood of Lincoln He
dwelt on his early life when he lived
in a rude log cabin and read the few
books he had by the light of the fire.
place. All the essentials TO make
great character, surrounded him. On
such foundation any man of noble
purpose and great intellect could have
been great.
Assemblyman Drew addressed the
assemblage on Lincoln the Man" He
said the strength Of the cable depended
on its individual fiber and the strength
Of nation on the patriotism of it's
individuals. OF the two great nations
that were now warning one was strong
because of the intense patriotism of
its subjects, the other weak because
oe the lack of it. The speaker pictured
Lincoln at the midnight hour, while
the battle of the Wilderness was on,
pacing up and down, the weight of the
nations troubles upon him. His heart
bled for the boys in the field. To him
the voice of the people was the voice
of God. Self was secondary with him.
His life and character could be set
forth as the great example for the
American people, the speaker said.
Senator Thomas III. Selvage of Hum
boldt spoke of Lincoln the President"
He pictured him taking his seat while
the integrity of the republic was being
undermined and threatened with de-
struction. His dominating influence
led the people Alright, the speaker said.
His was the spirit that guided. The
speaker quoted Lincoln's remark that
1.-The integrity of the Union must and
shall be preserved and dwelt upon
how he brought the nation through the
days of strife to victory and permanent
Union.
Assemblyman John A Goodrich of
Pasadena read Lincoln's Gettysburg
address and Assemblyman Nathan
Coghlan of San Francisco closed the
speechmaking with one of his most
able orations, his subject being THE
Representative American"

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13.-The
Committee on Ways and Means con-
sidered tonight the bill providing an
appropriation of s250,000 for an ag-

to the bill prohibiting the acceptance
of fees by university professors for
private work.
There was a tie vote of 7 to on a

point a select committee of three to
amend the bill so 1t would be ac-
ceptable. Waste, MCGOWAN and Cans

dred pounds on all freight was reduced
