Although the French army remains
unshaken in the belief that its new

camps where 1t has been tested.

Congressman Bartlett

! There is no longer any doubt as to
the position Of Congressman Batlett in
the coming campaign. In an interview
in Tuesdays Reno Gazdtte, he makes
the following frank statement of his
candidacy for reelection and the prin-
ciples he stands for:
Il. am candidate for congress.
shall go before the democratic conven.
ton and ask Cor nomination by the
democrats of Nevada. All statements
that am not a candidate are without
foundation, and take this opportunity
to inform the people of the state through
the columns of the Gazette that 1 am a
candidate to succeed myself.
'My record in congress is open to
everybody, and 1 shall stand or fall up
on that record. have labored for what
[ deemed the best interests of this state,
and have toileu Us faithfully as it was
in me to toll. What I have Gone there,
whether or not have made good is for
the people to decide. 1 have tried, and
have done the best could. That is all
any man can do.
'In regard to state affairs, I wish TO
state through the Gazette's columns
that there, as in Washington, L am will
ling to stand or fall by what 1 have
done. l shall go before the democrats
of Nevada and shall ask that the al
ministration of. Governor John Sparks
be endorsed, and particularly shall I ask
that the special session of the legisla-
ture last January be endored.
There is to be no trucking, no side
stepping, no trimming, so far as I am
concerned. l have worked according to
my best lights, and that is all any man
can do. 1 have nothing to apologize
for. The people of Nevada know, and
the people of Nevada can decide, 1t
rests with Them"
There is nothing uncertain in Con-
gresham Bartlett's statement He
has placed himself squarely on u law
and order platform and it is now up to
the democrats of Nevada to see that he
is renominated and returned to con-
gress. There should be no trifling ut
the Tonopah convention with any ele-
ment that does not stand for the en-
forceinent of law and order in this state
1t is better for the democrats of
Nevada to go to defeat with Congress-
man Bartlett on law and order plat
form than it would to be victorious
with any other candidate on platform
favoring lawlessness. At least, that is
the view the writer takes of the politi-
Cal situation in this state.
The INDEPENDENT believes that Mr.
Bartlett will have the hearty support
of the conservative element of his party
in his campaign for a denomination.
The INDEPENDENT will cheerfully as
sist him to win in the conventiop and
will do all in it's power to make him
successful at the polls.
He has the use of it's tow line at any
mark in the road.

Carefully compiled books giving in
detail the history of the various courts
of the state of California have been
written by historians of state and
local reputation, all members of the
legal fraternity. They cover the es-
sential points in connection with the
organization of the various courts from
the earliest date in history. even from
the time of the wrestling of the vast
region now known as Southern Cali
fornia from Spain.
The Los Angeles County Bar asso-
citation, which was organized in May,
1888, now numbers over 700 members.
The object of the association is to
maintain the honor and dignity of the
profession of the law; to increase its
usefulness in promoting the due adj
ministrati0n of justice; to cultivate
social intercourse among it's members,
etc. Any attorney who has been ad-
mitted to practice before the supreme
court of the state of California is ELI
gible to membership. The annual
meetings of the association are held on
the first Tuesday in June.
California has given to the legal
world, either by birth or adoption,

GOVERNMENT PREPARING
NEW BANKN0TE PLATES
Design Is Being Somewhat Changed
to Meet Demand for Currency
Under Recently Adopted
Law

WASHINGTON - The treasury de-
partment has already begun to
alter the national bank note plates in
preparation for any demand that may
arise for the emergenc~ currency pro-
vided for by the new currency law. The
department expects steady Increase In
the demand for notes of the present
bond secured issue from banks which
have not bond secured notes to the
amount of 40 per cent of their capital
stock, as Is required by the new law
before the banks can get their share in
the emergency issue.
In altering the bank note plates for
the new issue the treasury officials do
not fear that they are laying the treas
ury open to shortage of the supply of
notes for which the plates We're origin
ally prepared. There is now in the
treasury vaults nearly $200.00O.000 of the
present form bank notes, made out to
most of the national banks of the coun-
try.
The alterations in the plates have
been begun with the plates for banks in
reserve cities, where it is expected the
demand for the new currency will orig
mate. The work of changing the plates
Is not easy. The scrollwork immedi-
ately following the phrase, Secured by
United States bonds" has to be cut off
and the words land other securities"
raised in relief on the cleared space Dy
heavy hammering on the reverse of the
plate.
Though 1t is expected that the obli-
cation to take out more of the old ma
tional bank notes, in order to reach the
40 per cent minimum, will develop in
the banks with the largest capitaliza-
ton, tables for eight cities-new York.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, St.
Louis, Boston, New Orleans and Gin
cinnati-already completed, fail to show
a single bank without an amount of
bond secured currency equal to 40 per
cent of it's capital.
OF the twenty-four national banks in
New York city seven have the toal is
sue allowed them, equaling 100 per cent
ii their capital, while only five are be-
low so per cent. Nineteen of the thirty
Philadelphia banks have the total issue
and only one bank has less than so per
cent.
AS the new notes are issued to par
ticular bank the old form will be de-
StrOyed.

WORK OF ARCHITECTS

The architectural beauty of the bus

as shown by the modern structures

and excellent taste of the Los Angeles
architects. The field is one that calls
for the best designers of the world
and they are with us in large numbers.
The profession includes men of ma
tional reputation. There are many de-
signers who make a speciality of plan
ming homes and bungalows and they
are among the busiest architects =, of

companies employ their own designers
and prepare plans for investors and

Few people outside of those in close

1t Is also a matter of record that out
of 6770 National banks IN the United
States only twenty-one went into the
hands of receivers during 1907, and six
of the number resumed business. Out
of the $4,000 banks of all kinds in the
United States in 1907 only eighty-five
were closed, and quite a number of
those resumed business on solid foot
ing.
In Los Angeles, as everybody knows,
there were no bank failures and all con-
ditions arising were handled admirably
and sanely by the clearing house men,
bers and other bankers. protecting the
interests of the entire community in a
way that has met with the universal
approval of the public. Full confidence
in the stability of the banks of the city
has been maintained and business has
gone ahead without a rifle on the sur
face of the commercial world.
The people have co-operated with the
bankers cheerfully and loyalty, and to-
day the banks of Los Angeles, which
carry considerably more than the re-
quired legal reserves, were never on a
firmer foundation and deposits are
steadily increasing from month to
month.
Deposits and Loans

Angeles on January l, 1907. Forty-one

date submitted sworn statements

California occupies first place among
all states of the Union in the produc-
ton of oil, the output for 1906 being
33,09S,59S barrels, valued at $9,55S,43O,
the total production in the United
States for that year being 126.4s3,9S6
barrels, worth $92.444,135. Oklahoma
and Kansas together were second. Ohio
third, Texas fourth, Pennsylvania fifth
and West Virginia sixth in the amount
of production.
w. T. Griswold of the United States
geological survey is authority for the
statement that in 1906 the consumption
of fuel oil in California was greater
than the production. Activity in the
development of new oil territory in the
southwest has been wonderful. Many
new fields have been opened and capi-
tai is still seeking fresh area. Recently
a great gusher was developed in the
Salt Lake field near Los Angeles.

goods that are selected with special
care for the southwest trade and heavy
shipments are made to distant points.
The trade of the wholesalers in this
special line is extending to Mexican

are established with the Hawaiian

in every other line of commodities.
