try. The total capitalization of the
banks in Nevada is So, 164, 900.
The banks of the old days were To-
Gated at Reno, Carson, Virginia City,
Winnemucca, Eureka and Austin.
Changes have come since then; the
discovery of the gold camps of the
southern part of the State, the develop.
ment of the Irrigable lands of the Car
son Sink and the world-renowned recog-
milton which Nevada has gained are re
sponsible for the establishment of more
financial institutions in shorter period
than has ever been recorded before.
Now Reno has five banks, Carson
two, Gardneryille one, Virginia one,
Yerington one, Sparks one, Austin one,
Wonder one, Fallon one, Fair

Sorrow for the Bird Lover.

Every once in a while an item ap-
pears in the newspapers about some
one shooting q handsome great owl or
a fine big hawk or beautiful eagle
and sometimes the fact is added that
it is a strange bird for these parts,
and so the triumph of the gun seems
magnified. But every such item fills
the bird lover with sorrow and the
rarer the bird the greater the sorrow.
To some men big bird suggests a
gun, but let the gun alone, sit down
and watch the bird in the beauty of
its form and plumage and the grace
of it's fight and rejoice that it has
honored your country with it's pres
ence. If it preys upon your chickens
protect them to the extent of your
ability, but let the gun be the last re-
sort.-New Bedford Mass, Standard.

You asked him no questions and can
not therefore say that he was. The

scolds His Wife.
"No, ma'am. You are to keep right
