Naval officers are looking forward
with interest to the final trial run

work properly, and whether the
vessel is sufficiently strong to
stand the shock of firing.
The Vermont is of $4,000 tons
displacement and has 1880 indi.
Gated horse power. She is one
OF the largest battleships ever
built for the American navy. and
is up-to-date in every particular.
She was constructed at the Fore
River shipyards at q cost exceed.
ing $40. 100000.
Another battleship of the same
class as the Vermont which will
be tested soon is the Kansas.

of the bank II the bank was safe

in less than q month the bank fail
ed and | lost the money | had
deposited. Now prove tome that
my money is safe here and can
get it when I want it. We
said' we'll sir we can prove that
all the money put in this bank is
safe. First place, look over the
stock holders and see who they
are. you will find they are the
best OF men. Now lock over the
board of directors and the board
OF discount. Now see how we do
business, every loan over 500. 90
is passed up BY our discount
board. The board of directors
pass upon the loans when they
meet every month. Now see our
board of directors, this is not one
mans bank, the board of directors
met each month and make their
report, examine the bank to see
that it is alright. Now. they do
this honestly because they are
liable for double the amount of
stock they have in this bank.
Now look over the name of each
director and you wi II find not one
Of them speculate in stock and
men who are satisfied with what
they make honestly. If you don't
believe this ask any body in town
about these directors. Here is a
government report of this bank
that is made twice a year. here is
the report of the examining
board. appointed by the directors,
made every six months. Again
we make a report to the govern.
ment showing ust.. exactly the
condition of the bank. every two
months.
Here are the written reports,
look over them. Here is the pre-.
sent condition of the bank. show.
ing that dividend paid every 81,
months that the bank with its sur.
plus and investment has made
over $270O0.00 profit. The stock
of this bank can't be bought fol
$l.70 on dollar.
Do you think it is solid and
there is any reason why your
money is not safe with US, let US
know where the trouble is in the
way We do business" Yes it is
alright. here is my money put it
in the bank. | know my money
Is safe in a bank where the bank
officials are as careful as you are
here. and il every bank IN the
country was as careful. there
wouldn't be any bank failures"
Now the Citizens National
Bank starts out to be safe bank,
and we would be plea re to show
you that it is a safe bank.
Where every class Of people can
place their money in its vaults.
and get it when they want it.
If You are not doing business

The trail Is nearly lost. Alas!
Amid the wheat and corn and grass
And fields BY hedge divided.
The hand Of greed across Il runs
And Sweeps away the marx that once
The settlers wagon guided.

In Little river'slwindins sts<p
Down where the stream was iordd.
Not far away % Stone Corral.
whose ruins many tale can tell
OF history uncorded.

Then onward to the west It bore
Der plain and hill and mesa;
Around the bare and rocky steep,
Into the canyon dark and deep
By lonely Camp Theresa.
Der cactus field and withered sage
Where 6ercely binding billiards. rage
It's course is rougher. bleaker.
The whitening bones around II CLEAN,
And dying fortuneseker.
To US poor exile On the plain
1t was the one connecting chain
With Eastern friends and kindred:

The oxen bound for Santa Fe
Came patiently upon their way
With wagons heavy frelghted;
They passed the cabin poor and Lone

The Indian swept upon his raid
And yonder where the bison strayed
We sew the Billiards hover,
Sometime schooner hurried BY

Beneath the wagon cover.

THE FoURsoME.

The chances Of a match play four
some tournament in the near future
at the Country Club are not very good.
Frank Halstead, one Of the greens
committee, stated yesterday that the
matter had been talked over lately by
some OF the committee, but at the
present they thought that it would be
better to let it drop. At the present
time there are a number of other tour
naments to be played on and during
this month there are two regular tour
naments to be played OFF at the Moa-
nalua course that will take a number
Of the Country Club players away, ana
the committee have decided that II
would be much better to let things
drop for little while. Ever since the
Country Club has been in existence
there has been something going on
nearly every week, and the committee
thought 1t would be wise to rest for
little while before any new tourna-
ments are started The chances for
foursome tournament some time be-
fore the first of the year are very
good, and the date will be set in plen-
ty of time, so that the players can
get I'm and do some hard work before
the match.
