Doubtless one of the uppermost thoughts in the mind of every man at tending this convention is that of com pairing business conditions of today with the business conditions of a year ago. And the verdict of all is bound to be that conditions have vastly inn proved In this territory, as in all other sections of our country, the six months from September, 1907, to March, 1908, was a period of stress and anxiety. Happily, that period Is definitely passed. To be sure, the banks of Arizona withstood the panic in better form than perhaps the banks of any state. There was not a single failure among the territorial banks; two national banks did suspend for a brief period. but they quickly. resumed business and soon thereafter had re- gained the confidence of the public; one national bank failed, but it has been pretty thoroughly established that the failure was not due to the panic. It went down because of mis- management long antedating the panic and the stress of the panic served merely to expose the condition of the institution. Nevertheless, it was a pc riOd of disturbance. period of anXi- ety. and a period of loss. The called statements of August September. 1907; and of February. May July and Sep tember of this year, as tabulated in graphic form and furnished to you from time to time by the bank comp troller have exhibited clearly the ef- fects of the panic upon business in the territory. And the net effects at the end of that twelve montbs are measurably found by comparing the statements of August September, 1907, with the statements of September 23. this year The national banks made a statement as of August g, last year, in response to a call from the federal comptroller of the currency and the territorial banks rendered statements as of September 10, to the territorial comptroller; this year both national and territorial banks rendered state ments as of September 23.
 If you yourselves have not analysed the statements of August September. 1907, and the statements of September, 1908, it will no doubt interest you to know the result of my analysis of some of the salient features of these statements-at any rate. I give you here the figures showing the shrink sources. the shrinkage of loans. dis counts and overdrafts and the shrink age of deposits:

Mr. E|y's Paper Before Bank
 CTS Convention CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA
Though Susceptible of Inn provement They are on the Whole Satisfactory. The Matter of Overdrafts. Suggestions by Comptroller

The following paper by Hon. Sims Ely, territorial bank comptroller was read before the convention of the Ari- zona Bankers Association at Bisbee on Saturday:
 Bankers are the doctors of the busi- ness world. The business public is their patient. Unlike the physicians, however, the banker is likely to suffer with his patient. Moreover, he is more inclined than in the everyday doctor to tell the truth to the individual pa tient: whereas the disciple of Escula- plus will tell the poor consumptive that it is only a little throat trouble the business man hears no deluding talk from the honest banker. And a convention of bankers, in the serious part of its program. amounts to a consultation on the condition Of their patient. the business community.

SMALL BOY SHOWS
HIMSELF A HERO
LOSES HIS LIFE IN AN EFFORT TO
SAVE HIS MOTHER FROM
THE FLAMES.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Oct. 29.-The
8-year-old son of Joe Miller, mate on
the steamer Kea, proved himself a
hero last night in fire that caused
the child his life, fatally injured the
mother and destroyed the Miller home.
Mrs. Miller and her five children
were in the house when a gasoline
stove exploded, filling the room with
flames. Seeing that the children we're
on their way to safety, Mrs Miller
attempted to jump from a kitchen
window, but her dress caught and she
hung suspended above the ground. In
the meantime, 8-year-old Manuel,
missing his mother, re-entered the
house and ran from room to room
searching for her. He finally entered
the kitchen, which was blazing fierce
ly, and when help arrived his body
was burned to a crisp. Mrs. Miller
was badly burned before being res
cued.

RAILROAD TALK In
HICKMAN COUNTY
PROSPECT FOR ANOTHER ROAD
is CAUSING EXCITEMENT
AMONG THE PEOPLE.

I CENTREVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 29.-
The prospect for another railroad
through this section is exciting more
than casual interest among our peo-
pie. A gentleman who has just re-
turned from Jones Valley states that
line projected from Franklin to Leath-
erwood is constructed within two
miles of Jones Valley, and is ready
for ties and rails. He also says that
all doubt as to the real promoters
of the enterprise were settled by the
fact that the tools used were furnish
ed by the /. c. Railroad Company, and
that the checks issued to laborers
were also from the same company.
The contractors state that the line
will pass through Little Lot, thence
across Duck river to the phosphate
lands on Jerry's branch, thence to |
Centreville and Perryville, to connect |
1t the latter place with the Tennes-
zee Midland, operated to Memphis
~ the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
4Ouis Company. The old Midland
urvey, it is stated, will be followed
through this section, which means
he development of fine mineral and
imber section yet untouched by a
