The question of flood ed roads Is always matter to bring forth ideas and opinions and 1t did not escape this meeting.

There Is always lots of travel north and south and lts terribly annoying to almost al ways find that road practically lmpass- able

MET AT BRAWLEY
Imperial Valley Board of Trade Held
 Meeting Tuesday

The Imperial Valley Board of Trade held it's meeting at Brawley last Tues day and an interesting session It was. This board Is composed of two mem bers from the chamber of commerce of each town In the valley and 1t Is re- gretted that there was not better at- tendance at this meeting and members should strain point to be on hand whenever the board meets, as 1t is of the utmost importance, not to any particular community, but to all of them in general.
 MT Gleason appeared at the meet ing with petition to be signed as against the reclamation service having any thing 10 do with the Imperial valley. His arguments were plausible and he handled the question in masterly manner, but the members of the board who were present could not be induced to see 1t his way and did not lend a signature to the petition. There was practically no business transacted and most of the entire session was given to the discussion of valley interests.
 pr. Greenleaf, of Holtville, Is presi dent of the board and H. N. Dyke, of Imperial, secretary. The treasurer will probably be elected atN the next meeting, which will be held at Fl Gen. tro at a date to be fixed later. ~

Nevada Has No Banking Law.

Very few persons have known it,
but it is the startling fact That in this
state there is no banking law. Any
body, no matter what is his record, OF
whether he has II million dollars or
has none, can open n bank in Nevada.
There is no law against accepting de-
posi,s when n bank is known TO be in
solvent. There is no law to compel
the examination of bank resources
and their books. There is no law to
compel them to publish quarterly
statements of their condition. They
can be run with a faro game behind
the counter or a roulette wheel aud il
they pay n gaming license they would
be entitled to do business the same as
any bank. The fact that the looter:
OF the Goldfeld Bank and Trust Com
pany escaped punishment and laugh
Cd Mt their victims was not due to O
technicality. 1t was due simply tc
the fact TINT in accepting deposits
when they knew their bank was in.

notified the Reno merchants that on
and after February 18th, II charge oi
~ 50 per car will be made for switch
ing cars from the main line. Coun-
Gilman Drappo, a fuel dealer, esti-
mates that this will put $4,000 a
year into the Golfers of the railroad
company. IL will cost the fuel deal
ers alone $4,000 n year. This charge
is to become a rule all over the sys-
TEN. Terminal points however, will

A Distressing Accident.

Arnold Swindlehurst, the l4-year'
old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Swindlehurst
met with q terrible accident last
Saturday afternoon, which nearly cosi
him his life. In company with biz
brother and two other companions
they decided to go for a ride, taking 0
shotgun along with them. The boys
went up on the Galena road and when
just opposite Copper Basin, a bunch
of sagehens flew up and n of the
boys grabbed for the gun, and in q
hurry to get a shot at the sagebens
before they got out of reach, the gun
in some manner was discharged,
and struck Arnold, who was driving
in the left side Of his neck, inflicLing
a frightful wound. The force of the
discharge knocked the boy from the
wagon to the ground and when his
companions rushed to him, they
thought to find him dead. The boys
did the best they could for the injured
lad, using their handkerchief as band
ages, and managed to get him to Cop
per Basin, about u miles distant,
where VIM. Macdonald and G. W.
Burge cared for the injured lad as well
as possible until the arrival of medical
aid. The boys drove to town for DIR.
Sprague, who Immediately left for the
scene OF the accident, unknown to the
boys mother, who was not told of the
sad affair until sometime afterward.
The father who arrived in town Satur-
day afternoon from Jersey district left
shortly afterward to be with his son.
The doctor found the wound to be
a frightful one, extending from the
back of the neck to and under the
chin and barely missed the jugular
vein. 1t required much time and
numerous stitches to close the wound,
Under the careful attention of DIR.
Sprague and tender nursing, however,
unless some unforeseen complications
set in there is a good chance for the
patient. 1t is a miracle he was not
killed instantly.
This is just one more case OF "too
much gun" and the small boy. Par
ents should not allow their children
to carry firearms until they old
enough 20 know how to care for them
for young boys when together, will
very often get to scuffling and f%ooling
and it leads / u great many serious
accidents.
