A new DISTRICT THAT
PROMISES WELL

d. w. Lawson of this city returned
Thursday from visit to the Iron Chan
ce1ior and other properties in the viein-
ity of Bald mountain.
Mr.. Lawson reports considerable ac-
tiyity thereabouts, a large number of
property owners being engaged in doing
annual assessment work.
The principal property, the Iron
Chancellor. has splendid surface show
ing, trayersed by an enormous ledge
which carries good values in the yellow
metal. 1t is located about three miles
north of the Wheeler mine and has
similar surface characteristics. 1t is be-
lieved that the district will come rapidly
to the front the coming year.

MONEY IS NOT TIGHT
IN YERINCTON

T. L. Walden, superintendent of the
Yerington Ironsides, is over from camp
to spend the holidays. He says the
mines of the Yerington country are go
ing to make q noise in the world ard
that nothing can head them Of. YER
ington, he believes, will be better
camp than ely for the average mortal,
because the mines are more numerous
and the percentage of ore that will bear
shipment is many times greater than
development has so far shown to be the
case at Ely.
why, over in that little old town OF
Yerington, said Mr.. Walden yesterday,
they know absolutely nothing about
money stringency and clearing house
certificates. Owing to labor difficulties
there has not been great deal of activ-
ify at some Of the mines for several
weeks past, but the people of Yerington
have never paid moments attention to
that fact. All OF the farms in the Mason
Valley, below the mines and along the
Walker river have been just as produc-
tive as ever and the owners have found
a ready market for everything they had
to sell. The little bank in that town is
loaded with money and the people are
exceedingly prosperous and happy"
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1907-12-21

a position is brought out forcibly by the
fact that new business is coming to the
bank from remote distances.
Above all, it speaks volumes for Yer
ington. It is prima facie evidence OF the
stability OF this section. Banks are bar
oneters of country's prosperity.
When times are good failures are un-
common, but let panic hit the country
and then how different. 1t is worthy
ship that can stand the storm at sea, 1t
is strong bank that can weather Altman
cial crisis. The Lyon County bank has
not only made port, but its deposits are
greater today than they were before the
slump. How's that for Yeriugton1
Possibly many people do not fully real
ize to what extent the unusually prosper
GUS condition of business in Yerington
and vicinity is due to its banking facil-
tiles. Good, sound banking methods
enable the people TO maintain their
credit at home and abroad, and no pro-
ject begun in Yerington before the de-
preston has been obliged to curtail in
any part by reason of lack OF capital.
By careful and judicious use of its cash
on hand the Lyon County bank has en-
abled it's clients to perform thousands Of
dollars worth 81 work which has been
distributed to the miners and mechanics
in. this vicinity This hes been done
without crowding any debtors or sacri-
ficing dollar of its securities. While
the bank feels proud to have accom-
plished this without inconvenience dur
ing these stringent times, its officers
fully realize that the confidence of its
clientage is a mountain of strength in
times of trouble, and that the sensible
and considerable action of its depositors
has enabled the institution to stand on a
cash basis when many similar institu-
tons have been obliged to suspend pay
ment. -
The bank will soon be housed in its
new quarters with full up-to-date equip
ment, prepared to give its clients all the
advantages afforded by any banking in
stitution no matter where situated. Gus
toners at distance doing business by
mail will receive just as prompt and
effective attention as though personally
present.

INSTITUTION THAT HAS
DISPLAYED ITS
STRENGTH

It is with feeling of pride that we
again call attention to the splendid con-
dition of the Lyon County bank whose
doors have remained open during the
time when other banks throughout the
land found it necessary to shat up shop.
During the panic which has resulted
in great losses to- corporations and indi-
viduals, with their attendant nerve
racking strains and suicides, Lyon county
points with pride to its only banking in
stitution as one built upon the solid rock
of conservatism.
That such condition of affairs should
prevail is due to the confidence of the
depositors OF the institution. How
fully they realized the strength of the
bank and its capability to meet all de-
demands made upon it, is attested by
the fact that never once was there the
cry of wolf.
I'm times of peace prepare for war, .
is just as applicable to the affairs of a
banking institution as it is to the affairs
of nation. The policy that has ever
been pursued by the directors of the
Lyon County bank is one that cannot
fail to spell success. Its governing board
is composed of men who have keen
sense of right and wrong and who have
always been found on the side of right.
How profitable it is to adhere to such

Every superintendent is constantly
looking for reliable, faithful. honest
clerks, and it requires but ordinary
ability to rise quickly to responsible
position. An intimate acquaintance
with both male and female clerks con-
vinces me that the average department
store clerk is too often unreliable and
without ambition to acquire any more
knowledge of merchandise than his
ten dollars a week requires, and the
result is that he stays in his position
for years like stick But to an enter
prIsing man, who is willing to work
hard and study, there is good oppor-
tunity to rise to share in the man.

has given but bare outline of a large
subject and hopes that he may have

At Sea in a
"Wind=bag.''

THE average lanGlubber,
while gazing upon the graceful
lines of sailing vessel, about
the first thing that comes to his
mind is: What in the world does the
crew of that ship do after she leaves
port and is under way? This question
occurred to me as l stood watching
two sailors at work in the rigging of a |
four-masted iron bark anchored in the
Columbia River off Portland, Ore, |
several years ago. That thirty men
could be constantly employed from the
time such ship left one port until
she arrived at another seemed, to me,
preposterous. Why, what was there to
do anyways? Hoist the canvas and
well, keep her in her course, which
did not require all the men at one time
and wasn't work at that, leaving the
others to lounge around the deck with
an occasional pull on the ropes Che
wind might changeD and, perhaps,
furling and looseniDg the sails now
and then. their only exertion.
l was reasoning thus with myself,
thinking the while that a sailors lot
was not so hard, when stranger ac-
costed me with: "Want to ship, Jack
you're sailor, aren't you?" Not
withstanding that ] had been pread-
monished against the wiles and glib of
shipping-masters, my then frame of
mind prompted me to answer in the
affirmative. After questioning me for
a few moments, during which time l
clearly showed my ignorance of affairs
nautical, it being near the noon hour l
was invited to dinner. Having dined,
my self-introduced friend further pro-
pitiated himself by suggesting drink.
"merely as an aid to Digestion" as he
put it. But when, after having one
drink, the change of a five dollar bill
was pushed over to me, 1 decided it
was time for action on my part; so
thanking him for having dined at his
expense. 1 proceeded to depart. Since
then have alternately kicked and ex-
cused myself for having yielded to his
flippant talk, the outcome of which
eliminated in another drink-and then
another, etc. Kicked myself for hav.

because of the subsequent Opportun'
tiles thus afforded to visit places that
might otherwise never have seen.

SITES FOR GREAT FORTIFICA-
TiONS TO BE DECIDED up
ON WITHIN a FEW DAYS.

Within a week the locations of
the first two big batteries in the
great system of Notifications con-
templated for the protection OF the
Territory, will have been made.
One of these, as has been stated,
will be at Pearl Harbor, and the
other on Diamond Head.
Lt-Col. S. w. Roessler, of the U.
S. Army Engineer Corps, who ar
rived here from the Coast on the
Korea, is here for the express pur-
pole of consulting with Capt. G..
w. Otwell with reference to the
matter of Notifications, and before
he leaves on the Mongolia next
Tuesday, the sites of the two first
works will have been determined,
This of course is but the first
step in the big project, and it will
be months-possibly upwards of a
year--before the actual construc-
ton work will begin. The loca-
tions as determined by Col.
Roessler and Capt, Otwell will first
have to be submitted to the War
Department at Washington and
approved; after which the prepara-
ton of the plans and specifications
will require some time, and then
the slow work of getting machinery,
cement in vast quantities, and
other material, most of which will
probably have to come from the
Atlantic coast, will commence.
But the important point is that
the work of fortifying Hawaii has
actually begun, and however slow
will progress steadily until the
completion of fortitication works
which at the present time contem'
plates the expenditure of 81, ,500,'
900. Appropriations made by the
last Congress are only to TIE
amount of 100000, but this will
be sufficient to practically com

and the remaing S460,000 is for
construction purposes.
Details of the construction and
armament of the Notifications are,
according to the policy of the De-
partment in such matters, not
given out for publication, but it is
stated on authority that the arma-
ment of both the Pearl Harbol
and the Diamond Head fortifca-
tions will be two powerful batteries
of the latest pattern of mortars and
guns.
As soon as the locations have
been approved, steps will at once
be taken to secure the property and
prove the titles, and at the same
time plans will be prepared for the
work by Captain Otwell, who will
have direct charge of the construc.
tion. AS this class of work is not
done by contract, it will mean that
the entire responsibility for the
planning and executing of the work
will rest on this officers shoulders
The materials for the work will be
of the very highest quality, es.

A Surprise Party.

A most pleasant surprise party
was gwen J. w. Wren, manager OF
the Kahului Store this week on the
anniverary of his birth.
The whole affair was kept an entire

his work for the day did he know thai
a number of his friends were at his
residence in waiting for him.
Those present were j. n. S. Will

KAHULUIS II WAIKAPUS 9.

Such was the result of last Sun.
days game of baseball between
the Kahuluis and Waikapus at
Wells Park. Quite a number of
people were present but as letter
addressed to the association asking
that all noise be stopped, it was a
very quiet audience. Some one in
the audience several times asked
whether it was a game Of the great
American game they were attend
ing or funeral.
The game in itself, although
very much one sided, was a pretty
fast one The Kahuluis were in
excellent from and showed that
they have had some practice since
they were defeated by the Stars.
Their batting was certainly a
decided improvement and when
they again meet the Stars it will
have effect.
In the eight inning pitcher Hat
tie of the Kahuluis hurt himself
while running to first. After re-
covering he went into the box and
tried to pitch but as every throw
would affect his injured leg he was
substituted by Hampton. The
Waikapus Immediately protested
claiming that Mr.. Hampton had
been barred from pitching by the
league. Umpire Keohokalole paid
no attention to the verbal protest
and ordered the game continued
The line up of the two teams
was as follows:
