The plating of new town at the
junction of the two projected lines is
a prophecy of railroad building. 1t
is reported on good authority that
both these roads will be built in the
near future, work probably beginning
this summer.
Lake City is to be laid out on the
banks of Pony lake, a beautiful
stretch of water located in the very
heart of the best hunting and fishing
territory in Nebraska. The water is
clear the bottom and the shores of
the lake sandy. The fact that the
like is an ideal body of water for
boating bathing and fishing leads to
the Introduction of the new town as
candidate for honors as popular
summer resort.
On the south shore of the lake is
500 acres of splendid land, arranged,
it is said, as if by nature for a city.
Here in a few days Lake City will be
plated. 1t is predicted that the town
will become one of the best towns in
north Nebraska. 1t is located in the
richest hay valley and the best stock
raising and dairy section Of the state.
1t is surrounded by rich ranches and
farms we'll able to support a large
town.
A feature of the new town is said
to be ever-fowing artesian wells of
pure soft cold water, the artesian vein
being tapped at depth of hundred
feet
The men who control the new town
are slow to talk about their project
but are apparently proceeding along
definite lines. 1t is understood that
contracts have already been let for
the location of the initial business
firms. Dwelling houses, boarding
houses and hotels will be built in due
course of time.

Labor Contract With convict&.
The State Board of Public Lands

labor is to be paid for at rate Of IS
cents a day for each convict. This
notice was served on c. II. Lee, man

know he is expected to vacate the
penitentiary by June II unless he
agrees to accept the convicts at the
higher rate of pay. The action of the
board was reported to Governor Shell

The Lee company objected strenu-

convicts and Mr.. Lee said he would re-

While he said he had several offers
from other prisons to use their con-

Report on Nebraska Banks.

TIE annual report of Secretary RCyse
of the State Banking board, now in
the hands of the printers. will shortly
be issued to the public. NOtwithstand-
ing the recent panic the report shows
the state banks TO be in good sound
condition and only one failure during
the entire year, the Citizens bank Of
Firth. This failure was due TO heavy
speculation on the board of trade by
the cashier. During the year there
were examined $50 banks and building
and loan associations for which fees
were collected to the amount of ST.
40; fOrty-seven banks were chartered,
for which fees were collected to the
amount of $1,175. Mr.. Royse condemns
the ownership of a chain of banks as
follows:
There is one practice that exists
to some extent in this state which, in
my opinion. sooner or later will have
to be remedied or serious trouble will
follow refer to a chain of small
banks owned, operated and controlled
by the same management, or used as
feeders for some larger bank. This is
a practice that will require more than
ordinary skill to avoid disaster sooner
or later. ! am firm in the conviction
that some legislation is necessary to
enable the State Banking Board to
meet this practice. when in their
opinion the interest of the GepositOrs
demands it,"

an indication that they approve of the
manner in which these contests have
been decided. But in order to be in
