The w. O. w. camp held their
first meeting in their new hall in the
Townsley building Tuesday evening
The hall and furniture was 1evel-
alton to those members who were not
onto the situation and is simply ele-
CANT. We have no hesitancy in saying
it is one of the neatest and handsom-
est equipped lodge rooms in central
Kansas. The room has been newly
papered and painted, a platform built
around the edge on which are placed
the chairs, and an additional
one for the officers stations. The plat
forms have a good carpet, while the
floor proper has velvet carpet.
Elegant officers stations and chairs,
and also members chairs have been
procured, and the windows are
adorned with fine lace curtains. The
all is lit by electricity, and in the
evening presents a beautiful appear
ance. The entire matter was in the
hands of the managers, and they did
well. The organization is, and has
right to be proud of the new quarters,
and is growing in substantial
manner.

THIRTY ONE YEARS OLD.
The Story OF A Successful And Growing
Institution.

The ]. v. Br1nkman Go. Bank OF |
this city, was thirty-one years old on
Tuesday. AS J. V. Brinkman, the
founder of the institution, looks back
over this period of years, perhaps he
may think he now sees where he
could have done better, but at the
same time he must certainly have a
deep feeling of pride at the success of
his banking institution. On April
18th, 1874, the Barton County Saw
ings Association opened its doors to
the public. J. V. Brinkman was
president, and Sam Maher cashier.
The banking room was the building
now occupied by Rothgarn's harness
shop, on the south side of the square.
From there they moved into a build
! ing located about where the Miller
"Smoke House" now stands. Later
they moved into the room now oc-
cupied by the Sanderson Com. Co.,
and from there to the rear part of the
Allen corner building, where they re.
NAMED until their purchase of the
Farmers & Merchants bank, in 1897,
when they moved into their present
commodious quarters. The same
year of organization the name was
changed to J. V. Brinkman & Co.,
Bankers, and in 1891 they incorpor-
ated and have since been known as
The J. V. Brinkman Co. Bank.
]. V. Brinkman has remained as
president of the institution contin
uously. Sam Maher was followed as
cashier by Fred Zutavern, who was
followed by Louis Zutavern some
time about 1885, and who remained
until his health demanded a change
and he retired in 1908. Arthur
Taylor has been cashier for the past
year, and is doubtless the youngest
cashier of SO large an institution to be
found anywhere. ]. Geo. Brinkman
was assistant cashier from 1887 to
the time of Incorporation, since
which time be has been vice presi-
dent, and practically has had the
management of the business.
At the close of business of the
thirty-irst year they have deposits
aggregatins s538,OOO, and loans
about $460,00O. The institution is
the oldest and largest state bank in
central Kansas, and has recently ad-
ded savings department which now
has about SEQ accounts. They have
been with US through thick and thin,
and are an institution that all may be
proud of.
Great Bends three banks are solid
concerns, and we know we voice the
sentiments of the community, and the
Citizens Bank and First National
bank, when we congratulate Mr.
Brinkman on his institution, and wish
him many more years of success.

Greater Great Bend.

BY their sentiments expressed and
by their action Monday evening
every member Of the Commercial
club has become a Greater Great
Bend becomer. Now let every other
man in the city and community who
is in favor of the same thing rally
around the nucleus thus formed, and
let US make it really Greater Great
Bend. If you were once member of
the club but have dropped out, rein
state. If you have never been a mem
Der, become one.

MORE TRACK ROOM.
Additional Reasons Why This City
Should Have The Two Railroads
Connected.

At recent meeting held at the
club rooms, Mr.. Lin Moses of the
Barton County Mills, in speech call
ed especial attention to the
scarcity of track room for warehouse
and elevator purposes which existed IN
Great Bend 1t is a fact that on
neither road is there sufficient space
for any additional mills, elevators, or
other industries. of like character.
This is one more advantage that
would accrue to the town by having
track connection between the Santa
Fe and Missouri Pacific, and every
foot of property fronting on the track
would be valuable for the purposes
above enumerated. AS it is, there is
no room for any one who wishes to
establish abusiness where he needs
trackage. We believe this matter
should be thoroughly gone into and
connections brous hit about if possible.

COTTON.

New York. July 81 understand
that l am generally accused of having
sold my cotton, gone short, turned

ports have been current on every
twenty point advance during the past
fortnight. To those who doubt or
have doubted my sincerity they can
make no difference. To those who
attach any importance to my opinion,
would say that it is my confident
belief that cotton will sell much high
err and the fact that / sell or buy will
not affect the issue one iota. The
influences at work are Fundamental
and transcend the operations of any
one man or group of men. Britfiy
they are a demand for fourteen mil
lion bales of cotton at current prices,
and a prospective crop of only about
ten millions The situation, in my
opinion permits of no adjustment ex-
cept through a further and startling
advance in prices Realizing that Il

New York, July 5.-The cotton
market was again exceedingly active,
sales being estimated at fully mil
lion bales, and fluctuations continued
very broad A sharp advance in the
middle session was followed by an
equally severe decline during the az
ternoon, and prices at the close show
ed little change as compared with
Mondays finals.
The opening was Irregular at an
advance of II to 20, points, this be-
ing hardly a response to the Sensa-
tional gains in the English market
over the Fourth. Realizing was very
heavy, but after working off a few
points from the opening figures, the
market rallied on a continued de-
mand through wire and commission
houses. and reached the high point OF
the day shortly after the weekly crop
report at noon, although this stated
that the general condition of the crop
showed some improvement. October
sold at 1886 and January touched
lie. or net gains of about 35 TO 80
points. At these figures it was re-
