The Financial Situation.

A travelling man who was in
Emmett Tuesday expressed sur
prise that the banks here were not
issuing cashiers checks. He said
this was the only town in his ter
ritory that was not resorting to this
means. The fact of the matter is,
so far as Emmett is concerned, no
one would have known there was
a so-called panic if the papers had
not mentioned it. The two local
banks are in splendid condition
and The people know it. They
have confidence in the banks
officers. The solution of the fnan
cial problem now is nothing more
nor less than for people to use com
mon sense, and they are doing that
very thing here. When the history
of the panic" of 1907 is written
the credit for quieting the storm
and restoring conditions will belong
to the common plug individuals
wl6 kept their nerve and refused
to bury their money in their socks.
The panic was brought OH by
"high hnanciers. and it will be
driven away by the sane action of
the common people.

|ON AND GAS COMPANY
Incorporation Papers Filed
with State.

The Emmett Oil & Gas company
is now legal corporation, the nee
essafy papers being filed with the
statk auditor last week aud chart
er was received Monday. As previ-
ousfy stated, the capital stock is l
million dollars and the object of
the company is to bore for oil and
gas.
An active campaign has been
made for leases and abont 1000
acres have been signed There
are, however, several tracts of land
not signed up yet, and as these are
needed to connect the tracts already
leased into one body, the company
does not feel warranted in begin
ming operations until these leases
are secured Every land owner
who signs lease with this COM
pany has nothing to lose and every
thing to gain. The patch of
ground needed to sink a we'll is
small and as no injury will be done
to the rest of the land, the actions
of few who are refusing to sign is
strange. The company is compos-
ed of local rhen who are we'll
known and have reputation for
fair dealing and honesty. Their
only object is to test the field and
develop it if either oil or gas shall
be found. We believe it is to the
interest of every land owner to as
sist the company in every way pos
sible, SO that if these valuable pro-
ducts are hidden beneath US, we
may as soon as possible reap a
benefit therefrom.

About Stoves.

Winter will be here in a little
while and it is time to be preparing
for it. We have received nearly
three carloads of stoves every kind
from the largest range to the small
sheet iron hoa blast. They are good
ones, too-the kind that our long
experience in the business has con-
vinced US to be the best made.
We bought them for the people
who will need stoves and we dom t
want to keep them. So we have
made the prices low. Call and see
our fine display and learn how little
they cost considering their splendid
quality. Hawkins, Hardware.
