BANK SHOWING SOON.
Comptroller to Call for Statement This
Week

A cali upon the national banks for
their condition on very recent date
is expected by the bankers to come
from the comptroller OF the currency
this week. Four Of the calls required
each year by law have been made,
the last having shown the condition Of
the national banks on Aug. %. 1t is
possible that the call now anticipated
will have an important influence on
the financial situation. 1t is expected
that it will reveal large reserves Of
cash In the country banks, and this
will tend to restore confidence among
depositors to a degree which will
make ii easy to resume currency pay
ments throughout the country.
The banks, even In noraml times,
usually prepare for call by strength
ening their cash in order to make a
good showing, not only to the comp
troller, but to their clients. Their
statements are required by law to be
published in a local paper, and they
are also forwarded to Washington,
where they are compiled by cities and
states.
The effect of a call for q report Of
condition on a fixed date, which is usu-
ally ia few days before the call by the
comptroller, is to enable the bank
to release cash after the call with the
knowledge that another call is not
likely in the natural order of things
for about two months
If large reserves in lawful money
in their own vaults are revealed gen.
orally by the reports it will at once
inspire confidence in the strength Of
the banks and create demand which
they will no longer be disposed to re-
slst, after sending their reports, for
the Immediate resumption of currency
payments.

Prospective Settlers Must Wait Nearly
Year.
Intending settlers who are looking
for an early opening OF the government
lands in Trip county will have to wait
longer than was first anticipated. Such
is the information given out by Hon.
J. H Scriven, the governments allot-
ting agent. who has been at work on
these lands since last spring. AS TO
the progress being made in the work
of allotment Mr., Scriven made the
following statement when asked as TO
the possibility OF an early opening OF
the government lands, it being under
stood that the opening depended
largely upon the time 1T would take
to allet the lands.

field work last week When the
ground was burned over last fall it had
frozen so deep that we could not drive
stakes or dig pit holes. We have al
lotted, since beginning the field work
June /, 700 different applications, and
will have about 900 more to make in
the spring. This winter the force will
be occupied in enrolling what has
been allotted, taking family records
and listing new applications for next
years work. i am satisfied we Will
be able to get all Of this kind of work
done by the time the frost is out Of
the ground so we can begin field work
again next spring. The department
requires me to take the family record
or census OF each person that I allot

the old time methods, when all an In

with all details arranged I can sys-
tematize and bunch the allotments so
that we can easily do twice as fast
work as we have been able to accom-
plish this year, and IL the frost is out
OF the ground sufficiently for us TO be-
gin field work by April l we will be
through by Aug. /, and with all the lit
tie details arranged II will not be nee
essary for me to put in much of my
time in the field, which will give me
ample time to work on my books and
records.

TOO MUCH ECONOMY.
State Unable to Meet Public Demand
for Blue Book.

In a Mt of economy the legislature
of last winter limited the issue Of
the state blue book to 720 copies, and
made no provision whatever for the
publication Of any of the documents
fcr sale, nor for distribution to the
people of the state on request. The
members evidently looked upon this
as something which they were to have
to themselves, and did not take the
general public into consideration in
making the provisions for the work.
The Office Of the secretary of state is
being flooded with applications for the
book, or information as to where cop
les can be purchased. The only provi-
sion whatever for distribution was to
give the secretary of state enough cop
les to exchange with other states and
TO supply each state officer with one.
the rest going to members and en-
ployes Of the two houses The 720
will have 20 fill demand which will
be several thousand, as by the nature
Of the document itself there will be a
greater call for 1t from the people of
the state than for any other public
document which might be issued.

A Trifie Misleading.

When Lucy Seaver married William
Edison and was able to have calling
cards with Mrs. William Edison" en-
graved upon them, she felt that life
had no higher pride in store for her.
She preserved this attitude through all
the years of her married life.
When Mr.. Edison died she was incon-
solable, and even after several years
Of widowhood she holly resented any
indication that her friends had for
gotten her lamented William for one
moment.
ut makes me so angry" she said to
one whom she suspected of carelessness
in the matter, "to be spoken of or
thought of as Mrs. Lucy Edison. 1t is
an insult to Williams memnory"
"Oh, I'm sure it's never meant for
that" said the friend, hastily. "Only
it's quite customary among certain
people, you know, for widow to take
her Christian name-have letters adj
dressed to her in that way-and so on"

widow, Indignantly. 81 prefer always

An accounting of the damage done
by fire Saturday morning, when the
entire northern portion OF the bust
ness district of Sioux Falls was for
a time threatened with destruction, re-
veals that although only three frame

ance.
George Courtney, 5000; no insur-
ance.
Emil Larson, destruction of ware
house and farm machinery, $4,000; in

The destroyed barn of e. 3. Smith
e Co. was one of the very oldest
structures in Sioux Falls. 1t was built
in the fall of 1871, short distance
from the site which it occupied when
destroyed. 1t was built by ". r.

OF his family also made their home

a barn.
