Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1907-11-30

A man went to the train to meet his
aunt and his wife went along. On the
way he told her his aunt was very deaf.
AS the train pulled in he boarded it and
told his aunt the same thing about his
wife. The result was they talked to
each other like they were at a charivari,
yelling at the top of their voices.
When they found out the joke there
came near being a funeral.

A small Kansas boy was called in to
view his new born baby brother. He
looked it over with dissatisfaction, and
finally asked: Mamma where did this
thing come from?" "An angel brought
it, Jimmie" .'Wus you awake when
he came?" Certainly, Jimpie. I"
''Well, then, mamma, all that have
to say is that you are dead easy, I'd
like to see any old angel put off such a
looking thing on me. But reckon we

The A, B, C's of Banking.

Many people who have never given
the banking business much thought are
not able toAunderstand clearly the terms
used in the press reports on the present
financial stringency. The Kansas City
Star prepared very good explanation
by questions and answers on the bank
ing business, which we here reprint for
the benefit of our readers:
What is a bank?
A bank is an institution which deals
in credits.
Why doesn't a bank always have
enough cash to pay it's depositors?
Because few of its depositors ever
put any cash in the bank. Most depos-
its consist of drafts or checks, or cred
its based on collateral put up with the
bank as security for loans. In ordinary
parlance it is said that man borrows
$50, 900 at the bank. AS matter of
fact the transaction consists in renting
the credit of the bank for short time,
under the implied agreement that when
he wants any cash he can get it. Like
wise when man says he deposits
$40, 600 in the bank, " he is not giving
an exact description of the transaction
if his deposits" are checks and drafts.
What he has done literally is to deposit
some orders for the transfer of credits
from other accounts to his own. Ninety
per cent of banking business consists in
this transfer of credits from one ac-
count to another, Through the use OF
checks.

West Needs More Railroads.

That it will be useless to attempt to
develop the west with inadequate rail-
road facilities was the opinion of the
Association of transportation officers
at meeting in Chicago short time
ago. The conference was of general
passenger agents of western roads, and
the question for consideration was low
homeseekers' rates for the coming
winter and spring. 1t had been pro-
posed that for the sake of developing
the trans Missouri country the usual
low round trip fares should be author
lied, which rates have had the effect
of helping to settle this great district
IN the last few years.
After thorough discussion it was
the consensus>of opinion that it would
be useless to go ahead with low rates
and attempt to populate the western
states when transportation facilities
are entirely inadequate to handle the
present business.
1t was frank confession on the part
of the railroad men of the deplorable
condition of the transportation lines,
showing that while the west needs
people, the railroads are not in posi-
ton to handle the traffic. Thus it is
evidenced that the trans Missouri
country must suffer until railways build
more tracks and secure additional equip
ment.

Upon the sadness of the sea,
The sunset broods regretfully;
From the far, lonely places slow
Withdraws the ftful afterglow.
So out of life the splendor dies,
So darken all the happy skies,
So gathers twilight, cold and stern;
But overhead the planets burn. :
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dawn away,
What though our eyes with tears be
wet? A.$
The sunrise never failed US yet.
The blush of dawn may yet restore
Our light and hope and joy once more.
Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet.
