Summary of Present Financial Situation

The following summary of news
items bearing on the present financial
stringency in Nevada and throughout
the country is taken from u exchanges:
After q consultation with the bank
ing interests at Reno on Wednesday
evening. Governor John Sparks. ac-
companied by George S. Nixon and
Richard Kirman. left for Carson by
automobile, and at 1 o'clock Thursday
morning the Executive issued a proc
lamation requesting all the banks in
Nevada, as a matter of public policy. to
suspend business for three ~days-Octo-
Der "a. % and 20.
Besides the State Bank & Trust Com
pany aud the Nye s. Ormsby County
Bank, which with their branches
throughout the State had already sus-
pended payment, four of the banks at
Reno. all the banks at Tonopah. Gold
field and Rbyolite closed in compliance
with the proclamation.
The only bank that remained open
at Reno was the Scheeline Banking &
Trust Company. President Scheeline
of that bank stated that he did not be-
lieve there was any occasion to close.
and that his views were correct were
proven by the fact that there was
never the sign Of a run or a loss Of con
idence, and the business at this bank
went on in its normal way.
The Eureka County Bank. the banks
at Elko, Winnemucca. Virginia City,
and Round Mountain, the bank at Man.
haitian, of which Bert L. Smith is presi-
dent. did not comply with the Govern
or's proclamation. remaining open and
transacting business as usual.
On Monday Of this week Governor
SPARKS issued another. proclamation ex.
tending the suspension of banking and
the forced collection of debts through.
but Nevada for another week.
The State Bank & Trust Company
remains closed. The Nye g. Ormsby
County Bank opened at Reno Monday,
but the other branches of that institu-
ton in the State remain closed. All
the other banks throughout Nevada
ignored the Governors second procla-
nation and resumed business last Mon
day.
Owing to the fact that a number of
checks from depositors in the other
branches of the Nye q Ormsby Bank
in various parts of the State were sent
to friends in Reno for collection, this
bank, which had opened again on Mon
day, upon advice of counsel posted a
notice Tuesday saying that the institu.
ton would remain closed until the
other branches throughout the State
were ready to open.
The San Francisco Call of Oct. 2S
prints an interview with T. B. Hickey,
president of the State Bank & Trust
Company. which intimates that the
suspension of that bank was the result
of a fight between himself and Senator
Nixon. He sharply criticises the junior
senator.
The Carson News says that the de-
posits at the State Bank & Trust Com
pany at all of its branches will likely
amount to 81. coo. 900, 5000. 900 of which
is at the Carson bank. A large ma
jority of the local depositors are per-
o n who have from 800 to $1,000. and
this in many instances represents the
savings of years. 1t also includes the
funds of the U. S. District Court and
those of fraternal societies.

Window Reporter: I met my
friend, Rev. Lanham, Ph. D., former
ly "Presbyterian Bishop" Ct this jur-
!isdiction. He tells me he has re-
signed the ministry and is going onto
the lecture platform. He is booked
for q speech in Window during the
winter under the auspices of Church
hill and Dnnnicliff. The Listener
imagines the ex-dominfe will make
big mark in the lecture field. He is
q good thinker and an orator of abili-
ty. Several sermons he has thrown
at Window people in the past dem
onstrate this. The Listener was
never very stuck on long sermons but
the length of those Mr.. Lanham gave
us consumed time so fast that one
had no time to watch his watch for
the hour of closing. Somehow he
made his speech interesting and en-
tertaining, and if he does not exceed
this record in the new field he has
launched out upon I shall be mistak-
en- in my guess, that is all.

Geyerman and Dolan. The opera

little patient is getting along nicely.
DR.. Manson was called to attend
the little girl on Monday and found
what he supposed to be a simple case
Of stomach ache, but it persistontly
refused to yield to treatment so an
operation was decided on late Mon
day night. The case was one in
which delay was dangerous, and had
the operation been put off few
hours it would have been ineffective
and death would have resulted.

Hunting Licenses

The law relative to licensing hunt
ers remainssthe same in effect as it
was previous to the recent session, Of
the Legislature, though somewhat
different in wording. No license is
required for hunter to shoot small
game in the county in which he re
sides but if he desires to hunt out
side his own county he must procure
a license, costing him 81 from his
county auditor. The license permits
a hunter to shoot all kinds of game,
in 90 'son, and confers shipping privi-
leges.
The funds derived from the sale of
licenses go into the game and fish
commissions general fund to be used
for protection and propagation of
game and fish. The funds available
for protection of game are limited and
all who enjoy hunting should realize
that when they purchase a license
they are contributing their mite to
the work of game protection for their
own benefit and the benefit of their
children. .,,,
It is reasona bic that the man who
hunts should contribute in some mea:
sure to this work and every man who
realizes thi4alsill buy his license
cheerfully and gladly. ~ s''''2,':
Game wardens are of course. in
structed to enforce the license pro.
visions of the law strictly, the same
as other provisions.
Hunting licenses for residents Of
the state are obtained OF the several
county auditors and will be in their
hands about Aug. 18th.
The shooting season commences,
on certain classes of game, Sept. LIST,
and Ithe license is good for the en-.
tire season and all classes of game
anywhere in the state.
Only one license can be issued to
any one person and is not transfer
able. 1t is also tie duty of every
hunter to exhibit his license to any
person on request. The license is of
the coupon variety and has tags at
tached to be used in shipment of
game by the hunter to his place of
residence.

Two Railroad Men Have Narrow
Escape From Drowning in
p" Okdbena Sunday

. g. Frank Donaldson and Ole Marston,
two conductors on the Omaha line,
had narrow escape from drowning
in Okabena Sunday afternoon. They
rented a boat from W. 1. Carpenter
with the intention of crossing the
lake to Ludlow's park, where their
wives were to join them in a picnic
dinner. The lake was very rough
Sunday, owing to the high wind, and
when they reached the middle they
lost control Of the boat aud it cap
sized. "A number of people bad been
watching them from Carpenters pier,
and as soon as the mishap was dis
covered Mr.. Carpenter got out Fred
Tripp's launch and went to their
rescue. When Mr.. Carpenter reached
them they were both pretty we'll
tagged out, especially Mr.. Donaldson
who had done the rowing They
clung to the boat as best they could
but owing to the high sea, this was
no easy task. Mr.. Donaldson slipped
off once and only regained 9 place Of
safety by catching hold Of his part

The valise containing the supplies
for the picnic went to the bottom, and
the outing had to be declared of for

on the lake this eeason, and but for
the watchfulness and prompt action
of Mr.. Carpenter it would undoubted-
ty have.bad different ending.
