NATIONAL CITY BANK
 BIGGEST IN AMERICA
THE NEW HOME FOR THIS
 FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
An Arrangement by Which Intending Burglars May be Cooked.

The National City Bank of New York the largest banking institution in America. has moved into its new build ing on Wall Street The removal was a simple matter of crossing the street from its old home at 5 Wall Street, and the transfer of the banks enom- ous holdings of cash and securities was accomplished as easily as if they had . been a few bundles of every day mer- chandise.
 It is necessary to go to some of the great central government banks of Europe to find an institution whose re- sources compare with those of the Ma tional City Bank Its total assets re gently touched the record figures of S372, 2,S49O00, a sum sufficient to pay off the national debts of Mexico and all the Central American countries. A few months previous the cash reserve of this institution was nearly $1O0000, 000 Early in November gross deposits touched the high figure of S30S.77 ,000.
 The new home of the National City Bank in the rebuilt Custom House is worthy of America's largest banking institution. A year ago the old Custom House which entirely. occupies a, city block on lower Wall Street, was turned over to the builders. The interior was completely removed. but the granite walls. with the familiar Ionic columns, were left practically untouched. The architects. MeSsrs. McKum, Mead x White, solved the problem of raising the structure four stories and convert ing it into a modern banking domicile without changing the buildings archi- tectural character and tradition. By adding a Corinthian colonnade and ad- herring strictly to a scheme of classic simplicity, it is believed that an ad- mirable result has been obtained. The altered structure has certainly lost none of it's former monumental char acter while the alterations have made it a commodious and most interesting home for a bank.
 The entire lower section is given over to great banking chamber. whose ceiling is sixty feet high; it is eighty thlee feet to the top of the central dome, and the two solid bronze doors on the Wall Street portal are the larg- est in the world. There is nothing in the way of balconies or passageways to mar the open effect of this huge domed chamber. The character of this interior is that of extreme simplicity and the whole color scheme is mono tone. The columns, panels. balustrades etc. are of a very light gray Italian stone. and the floor is of smoothed stone slabs from France The only color that enters into the scheme of this banking room is due to the pres ence of a few solid bronze fittings and the dull mahogany furniture. The glass dome is a simple combination of dull, Uucolored glass and bronze.
 The great armor plate safe weighing 300 tons. is in the center of the build ing. and it is bare of disguise or orna-

 Dr. Norton is the territorial veteri- marian and has expressed a desire to have us cooperate with him in doing the work of stamping out the conta- zion existing.

PLEASING WORDS OF
 WISCONSIN VISITOR
Impressions of Or. David Roberts Late State Veterinarian, After a Visit Here During the Fair.

During the late territorial fair. men tion was made of the visit here of Dr. David Roberts. until recently state veterinarian of Wisconsin. His favor able comments were spoken of at the time. He came here in the course of a general southern tour on semi off cial and private business and since his return he has given his home paper, The Waukesha Freeman. aR interest ing letter on the incidents of his trip. That portion of it pertaining to Ari- zona is reproduced as follows and proves conclusively that the doctors visit here during fair time was most fortunate for the fair name and fame of the territory. The doctor says:
 On Nov. 10th I arrived at Phoenix. Arizona, where the fourth annual Ari- zOna territorial fair was being held. The weather was fine the crowd was large and the exhibition good. The entertaining features of the fair were trotting pacing and running races, au- tOmobile races and airship flights Perhaps the most interesting features of the fair to an customer was the COW by relay races, which were exciting The girl relay race was also good. while the spring wagon and the burro races furnished a great deal of amuse- ment. There was a good entry of horses and mules, consisting of saddle horses. roadsters, coach and draft breeds. mules and jacks.
 Among the prominent breeds of cat tie at the fair were Holsteins. Ayr shires, Short Horns and Herefords.
 One of the first herds that came to my notice was that of H Renaud, con sisting of pure bred Holsteins Mir Renaud is a large breeder of Phoenix. Arizona, and l am proud to say that the foundation stock of this herd was bought in Wisconsin. The herd cap tured many first premiums at the Phoenix fair. My attention was also called to fine herd of pure bred Ayr shires owned by Wallace Macdonald of Mesa, Arizona This herd also won many premiums at the fair
 An excellent herd of Short Horns was exhibited by George Day of Buck " ts Al lLbllst HIS iltTd N6S among the heavy winners at the fair
 The splendid condition of the cattle shown at the Arizona fair attracted much attention and upon irquiring I was informed that the cattle were not conditioned or prepared for the fair but on the other hand were taken directly from alfalfa pasture a day or so before the fair. and some Of the herds were brought a distance of from thirty-five to forty miles on foot across the desert and were then in good enough condition to win many premiums. The splendid condition of these cattle fed upon alfalfa hay grown in the Salt River valley. is enough to convince any fair thinking man that Arizona, and especially the Salt River valley, is a great, if not the greatest. cattle country on earth.
 The cattle of Arizona are compara- lively free from tuberculosis and oth- CT contagious diseases except that of contagious abortion. I had the pleas

HOG HOUSE.
Portable and In Use In Various Ways
the Year Round.

khO seAE nOdH0s
We send herewith sketch Of what
we think the best. handiest and cheap
est hog house we hive ever used. Two
doors in front make it convenient for
ventilating. as we have them face
south in the winter time. Ii there is
cold wind from the southwest the west
doors are closed and the east ones open
ed. Should the wind be in the east or
southeast they are reversed. The house
is divided inside by porta BILE partition
which should be nearly four feet high
and made of good oak boards with very
narrow cracks between them. especial
ly near the bottom. With this partition
in place it makes good. roomy beds by
feet each for the Sows, and when
through with it for sows the partition
is removed and placed by ,fhe back
wall and held there by large wooden
button turning down over the top
board. In this shape we use it for
twenty to twenty-five pigs and find it
better than any of half dozen differ
ent patterns that we have used and are
using, as it affords better ventilation
and is easier to clean. as there is plenty
of room.
We use these houses in spring and
fall for the sows. In summer they are
used for hens with little chickens, be-
ing pulled into the chicken lot or Or
chard. and they would make excellent
colony houses for laying hens. In win
ter they furnish beds for fall pigs, thus
making themselves useful the year
around.
One good horse or ordinary team will
move one of them anywhere on the
level ground, and as they are only eight
feet wide they will pass through any
ordinary gate. The bracket arrange
ment seen at the ends Of the house is
for attaching portable fence which we
use.
Size of house is 8 by 10 feet, four
feet high at back and seven feet in
front. The runners or foundation are
by 4 oak, beveled off at each end
with an ak SO as to run easily. The

DANGER OF cATARRn.
Unless Properly Treated with Hy-
omei, Becomes Serious.

Catarrhal troubles are far more dan.
gerous than they seem at first thought.
II you have catarrh there is an irritated
state of the mucous mem brane and weak
ened tissues which afford an ideal lodg-
ment and culture medium for disease
germs, especially those of consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs that
you may breathe lodge on the diseased
tissue and work destruction in the throat
and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest, surest
and cheapest wav to cure catarrh is by
the direct method, breathing Hyomei.
This wonderful medicated air treatment
does not drug and derange the stomach,
but is breatbed in, directly following and
destroying all disease germs that may
have been inhaled.
The unusual way in which Hyomei is
sold by Graham & Wells ie the best evil
dence OF their confidence in the treat
menta and should dispef all doubt as to
its curative properties. They agree to
refund the purchase price to anyone
whom Eyomei fails to benefit, and you
do not risk cent in testing its healing
virtues. A complete outfit costs but 81. 90
it it helps you, not cent if it does not
do all that is claimed for it.
