THE CLEARING
HOUSE CERTIFICATE
What Is a ri N 8 House
Certificate?
BANKER CONSIDERS
IT ALRIGHT

George l.. Ulrick, cashier OF the
Carrizozo Exchange Bank, is inter-
viewed on the subject by Carrizozo
Outlook. The Outlook says:
At the first notice OF the intention
to go on the clearing house plan the
writer sought an interview with
George l. Ulrick, Vice President
OF the Exchange Bank, knowing
that his opinion would give weight
to any opinion he would give on
the subject, and he gave us the
following brief but clear statement:
All banks throughout the coun-
try have a general center in New
York where heavy deposits or re-
serves are kept. In this way money
is transferred from one bank to an
other by draft the same as if there
was a deposit in the bank where
the draft is sent. The reserves
in the local banks are only sufficient
for the requirements Of ordinary
business, and when an extra de-
mand comes there must be an i'm
mediate supply or this will
be exhausted and the bank CON-
PEELED to close it's doors.
When the New York banks shut
off the currency payments there
was but one course for the western
banks to pursue, and that was to
go on the clearinghouse basis and
protect their local reserves.
There is just as much money
in the midst OF a panic as Just be-
fore or after it., but it is temper
arily withdrawn from the regular
channels of trade and locked up
where it cannot be got at.
Il do not feel however, that
there is any just cause tor alarm at
this time, as the country is in a
prosperous condition and we will
soon be in II shape to draw heavily
or Europe as the wheat, cotton and
tobacco crops are now being ship
ped abroad, and there will soon be
a large amount of money which has
been in the hands of individuals,
returning to the regular channels
of trade"
For a short definition we know
of no better than this. A circulat-
medium based on a written promise
to pay of some good mar with the
endorsement of the bank where it
is deposited.
That is to say: A rich man who
has plenty of property and draws a
note for $500. He is not in a po-
sition to pay it at maturity, yet is
perfectly good, so the bank holds
the note and issues certificates on
it to seventy~fve per cent of its
value, with the guarantee Of the

Just Missed Heart.
The bullet from KusSow'S revolyC"
just missed Herman's heart about an
inch, entering the left lung above the
center. and passing entirely through
and embedding itself in the muscles
of the back. 1t was removed without
difficulty by surgeons.
Chance OF Recovery.
Herman's chances of recovery are
considered good by the surgeons in at.
tendance, but pneumonia is feared.
Should this result, the wound would
probably prove fatal.

une Yesterday.
WATER SUPPLY SUFFICIENT
Steamer Marion Now at Summit, the
Highest Point and Will Proceed
on to This City.

Replying to an article of some
length i'll the Chicago Tribune of yes
terday holding that the Hennepln
canal is a failure because alleged fact
that it is impossible to supply it
with water through the feeder from
Sterling, Major C. S. Richie, chief of
the United States engineers in charge
of work in this district today made d
statement in which he asserted that
there is no ground whatever for the
Tribune's story. While water has
been flowing INTO the canal through
the feeder for three weeks and the
canal is not yet filled he says it must
be remembered that the ditch is a
large one and filling it is a slow pre-
cess. Once filled there will be only a
slight seepage, leakage in the locks
and the amount of water lost through
the opening. and closing of the gates
to be supplied
Reaches Highest Point.
Major Richie this morning received
a dispatch from the commander of the
steamer Marion which recently enter
ed the canal at the east end for a trip
through saying that the boat was then
at Wyanet and would reach Summit
the highest point on the canal, By
noon. This is opposite Sheffield AMI

has been sent east heretofore. Nov
it will be turned into the west eli
