Queen City's Ba n ker.

The banking account of the City of
Burlington, which was with the Chitten-
den Trust Company the past year, has
been awarded to the Burlington Trust
Company by bid, for the coming l2
months. This will make the 14th year
this banking institution has had this &C
count. When the city advertised for
bids the Burlington Trust Company was
the only bank to make bid. The rate
of interest will be 6 per cent. There are
more desirable accounts than that of the
city and at the present time it is easy to
make loans at higher rate. but the Bur-
lington Trust Company believes it duty
to favor local institutions, even though
the net gain may not show up as great as
on outside-the-state loans. The annual
borrowing limit of the city is $3.50, 900.
The Trust Company, under its bid, agrees
to furnish loans to this amount if neces-
sary, and nothing could be presented of a
more convincing character of the prepar-
stitution. The bid of the Trust Company
was the only one made. Few banks, no
matter the amount of their deposits, find
it convenient to make so large loans. To
be in position to accommodate so great
borrower as the City of Burlington
speaks volumes for the institution that
has become its banker. The Burlington
Trust Company pays depostors 4 per
cent computed semi-annually. If you
have money to bank write for statement.

extractive and concentrating process
from fresh Gods livers without drop of

We do not believe there is a person in

Vinol at this season of the year. Vinol
is delicious to the taste, and it is recog-
nized AS the greatest strength creator for
old people, weak, sckly women and
children. nursing mothers, and after a
severe sickness.
Vnol is unequaled for hacking coughs,
chronic colds, bronchitis and all throat
and lung troubles. Creates an appetite

Your correspondent had u special
interview with Edward J. Justice, n
Of the states counsel in the Southern
Railway rate case. He said regard
ing the hearing tomorrow in the cor
poratiOn commission rooms before
Special Master Montgomery that the
state would put n some new testi-
mOny, but it had much it did not
propose to put in until after it had
systematized figures from the books
of the Southern railway. He said
every thing which had happened re-
Gently had d%eepened the idea that the
books ought to be thoroughly search
ed far back. He remarked he did not
think, even at the present status OF
affairs that the Southern could posi-
bly, win it's case and added if it did
not decide to let the books be looked
at as far back as the state wished, it
would certainly initiate against the
road before the United States su-
preme court. He said all the witness
es wOHld be put on tomorrow who
could be handled without disarrangfng
the order of the states testimony. A
subpoena is issued for First Vice
President A. B. Andrews, of the Sou
thern Railway, and another for
George B.. Crater, business manager
of the Evening Times, it being the
purpose Of the state to see the books
Of Andrews office, also those of the

it will take 60 days for him TO fur
if he does not furnish it IS the purpose
if he does not furnish it S the purpose
of the state to itself secure it. One Of
the chief objects the state has in
view in it's examination of the South
ems books is to get comparative
ton rates on intra-state and interstate
and passenger miles in both passen-
ger and freight business and work
out from these the cost of doing eacr
class of business upOn cost basis.
| The state challenges the theory of the
Southern that it can arrive at the
cost of doing business by knowing
J earnings, and if given the opportunity
the state thinks it can demonstrate
| from Southern's books the error in
this theory of the Southern. Tie
state will tomorrow put on several
travelling men to prove business has
increased since the new passenger
rate went into effect.
