pany will open this vein which is
seven feet thick and of a very super.

was established In 1899. Its splendid
new building was constructed ir
1894. The officers OF the bank are:
President. Henry Cake; vice presi-
dent, John Jelfs; cashier, G. N.
Blackwell. The capital is 100000,
surplus and undivided profits $780,
900. and deposits 100000. The bank

The year 1906 saw the establish

Ration: the National Bank of New

This latter establishment has a capi.
tai of $4,000 and is presided over
by c. B. Kohlhausen, president; H.

HERcULANEUM's RESURRECTION
Italian Commission Approves Arneri-
can Arehaeoloqist's Scheme.

Prof. dell'Osso Of the Naples muse
um in an article in the Rome Trfbuna
on the scheme Of Prof. Charles Wald-
stein, the American archaeologist and
author, for excavations at the site OF
Herculaneum, calls attention to the
rapid change in public opinion which
a great, noble idea can produce: He
points out that in about two years
from the time Prof. Waldsteirs pro-
ject was proposed all pretudices and
fears for the dignity Of Italy which
greeted 1t have disappeared, and even
a commission which only year ago
negatived the scheme has now voted
for II unanimously.
The expense Of excavating Hercu-
laneum Is so great that IL Italy under
took II on its own account half Of Ii
could not be completed Ia $50 years.
The volcanic stratum covering the
city averages a depth Of 70 feet and
Is Of the consistency Of stone.
Some duplicates among the objects
found will be probably presented to
work. but a special feature of the ex-
cavations will be that the discoveries
will remain in stu. The excavations
Of 1928 proved that the upper stories
Of houses were in an extraordinary
state Of preservation, so a future visi-
tor to Herculaneum, instead Of seeing
only the ruined skeleton Of the city,
will find the houses In their original
state, with the furniture and decora-
tions scrupulously preserved In the
most minute particulars.
The statues in the temples, theatres
and basilicas will remain In their
places. Thus a visitor will be able to
reconstruct for himself in marvel
Gus degree Of the social life and habits
Of one Of the great cities Of antiquity.

then did so only as he saw the hand
Of Singleton upon the pistol In his belt.

"You stopped at Watson's?'
Singleton put the question afnrma-
lively. and the other looked surprised;
the tobacco was about to be reyolved
from the one jaw to the opposite side,
as had been the case at almost every
interval made between his sentences,
when. quick as lightning. and with a
grasp of steel, Singleton seized him by
the throat. The fellow strove to slip
away, but never did finger more te-
naciously gripe the throat Of an enemy.
The partisan was a man Of immense
strength, and the stranger was short
and small. His powers were far in
ferior. He strove to struggle, and Ia
bored. but in vain. to speak. The fin
gers were too closely compressed; and,
still maintaining his hold with more
tenacity than ever the assailant bore
him down to earth, and with his knee
fixed upon his breast, in spite Of every
effort for release by the man beneath
him. he choked him until his tongue
hung out upon his cheek. and his jaws
were sufficiently distended to enable
him to secure the game for which he
toiled so desperately. Turning the

WHY DOESN'T CONDOR
HAVE A STREET SPRINKLER

This question Is asked by some
one every time the wind sweeps
a big cloud Of dust around the
corner into somebody's face or
into some store, the counters or
shelves Of which have just been
cleaned. covering the goods with
a layer Of dust making It impos-
sible to keep anything clean.
And why doesn't Condor have a
street sprinkler? The answer
heretofore has been: Not
enough water" But since the
city purchased the Hay Creek
ranch the water supply has been
practically inexhaustible so that
excuse has been done away with.
What will the next excuse be?
II win probably be that sprink-
Ter costs too much money. If
this Is true why is it that other
towns not half the size Of Con-
don can afford one? Is it going
to be said that these towns are
ahead of and more up-tc-date
than Condor? A movement was
started some time ago to start q
sprinkler and the city did its
part by offering TO furnish the
water free of charge. j. w.
Hire offered to furnish the
sprinkler and do the work pro
viding the merchants woulC
guarantee him q sufficient
amount to justify him in purchas
ing the sprinkler but the guaran
tee was not Forthcoming and tho
movement died. 1t seems thai
the merchants are the ones whs
are now holding back the enter
prise when they should be th'
ones to push it. For a small do
nation each month their stores
would have a much more invit
ing appearance and would as
whole prove more satisfactory
to their customers. This matter
should be attended to before tn,
crops are harvested for as soor
as the teams commence hauling
wheat to town the streets will b
cut up and in worse shape thar
ever.
