NO AUTHORITY TO
TRADE ACCOUNTS

CARSON CITY, Feb. Having
received a report that the Goldfield
branch of the State Bank and Trust
Company had been attached and was
in the hands of the sheriff, Attorney
General Stoddard tonight gave the
Tribune correspondent the following
statement:
I'VE have waited long enough for
the Hickey syndicate to take some
action amicable to the depositors.
Under the law l cannot take the in
itiative, but will recommend that
drastic and immediate investigation
be started by the bank commission.
want to see the accounts in the in
stitution protected.
THE initial report of the bank ex-
aminer was correct, l believe, con-
sidering the market at the time. and
the hope held that after the temper
airy slump conditions would improve.
But weeks have passed. The officials
and directors of the suspended fin
ancial syndicate have met time and
again and have accomplished little.
Now, think the directors should be
made to announce definitely their in
tentions.
The bank commission gave the
Hickey banks no authority to trade
accounts. If this is being done il
should be stopped and the creditors
protected.

Badly sprained Ankle Cured.

Three years ago our daughter sprained her ankle and had been suffering terribly for two days and nights-had not slept a minute. MT. Stallings, of Butler, Tenn, told us of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We went to the store that night and got a bottle of it and bathed her ankle two or three times and she went to sleep and had a good nights rest. The next morn ing she was much better and in a short time she could walk around and had no more trouble with her ankle.-E. M.

NO SUBMARINE ENTRIES.
Scheme to Locate Bottom of Salton Sea as Desert Land Knocked
 Out.

The scheme of Charles C. Bowles of Los Angeles. to file a desert land entry upon tract overnowed by the Salton Sea. has been rejected by the Depart ment of the Interior on the ground that land underlying a body of water is not subject to the rules of the Land Office Gen F. C. Prescott rejected the entry last year and the applicant appealed to the commissioner of the General Land Omce. It is held that even if the land is afterward drained of it's surface water, that fact cannot be taken into consideration if the land is inundated at the time of the appli- cation
 Bowles contended that the land was desert in character and that the in undation was caused by the operations of the California Development Com pany. He asserted that it would be drained in due course of time by na- tural evaporation and that he would irrigate it from the Colorado River.

MENACE OF THE BIG STICK.
Administration Said to Have Declared
 Wsr on Speaker Cannon.

A Washington dispatch to the Los Angeles Times, apparently 'inspired' by the White House asserts that Speaker Cannon has marked himself for relegation to the ranks in the next Congress. if Roosevelt, Taft and their supporters can bring it about.
 This was decided by the President and Secretary at their conference at the White House The Illinois Con gressman has irritated the White House frequently by opposition to measures advocated by the President, but he has gone beyond federation in his fight at Chicago, threatening the Presidents supremacy in the party.
 It is intimated in quarters close to Roosevelt and Taft that the overthrow of Cannon, if Taft is elected will not be difficult; that large element of the majority in the House has needed only a leader or substantial backing to elect another Speaker. Heretofore the White House has taken no stand against Cannon's election but war has been declared.

HOME COMPANY FORMED TO WIRE ALL THE VALLEY AND
 CONNECT WITH COAST CITIES.
NUMBER ONES LOCAL LINE
Forty Miles of Wire to be in Service in the Valley in a Few Days-New Organization Proposes to Operate Thousand Mile Eleetric-M Magnetic System.

Before many months elapse it will be possible for Fl Ceutro citizens to talk by phone directly with San Dieso and Redlands. if plans mature which were set on foot last Saturday by the organization of the Home Telephone Company of Imperial Valley One thousand miles of telephone line are provided for in the articles of incor- poration, which would give direct line from San Diego to Yuma; anoth- CT from Calexico to Redlands, and a network of auxiliary lines spreading out through the Imperial Valley towns and closely settled ranch districts.
 The meeting was held in Holt's Opera House at Fl CentrO, and was at tended by representative men from various parts of the valley. The board of directors selected include: Fred Stahl, Brawley; W. A. Edgar, Imperial Fritz Klokke, CaleXico George Klein, Heber; Ira Aten, w. E. Wilsie, F. S. Webster and Dr. R. P. Shepherd Fl Centro; J. M. Baldwin, Monrovia; and H. c. Goldrick, San Francisco. The capital stock of the company is placed at $5O,0OO.
 It is the purpose of the new organi- zation to begin construction work as soon as s-the heated term passes. Alp plication will be made to the boards 0f trustees of the various incorporated towns of Imperial Valley, and to the Board of Supervisors of Imperial coun- ty for franchises.
 The Kellogg electric magnetic sys- tenn is to be used. Can 1assers will be placed in the field at once to solicit service contracts.
 phone line will soon be in operation, with a central office installed at the company's headquarters at Imperial and phones in eighteen different loca- tions where zanjaros can be reached at all times. The poles and wires are in place; the instruments are being put in position this week, and within few days the entire system, as far as constructed, will be ready for service.
 This includes forty miles of line, and eight miles more are to be con- structed at once to cover the northern end of the district. The construction has been in charge of J. Thomas, who has kept twenty men employed. He will also carry on the construction of the northern extension.
 Remarkably good time has been made in this work. Just thirty-two days were required to place the poles, stretch the wire and install the ecuip- ment at headquarters. Twenty-Five foot cedar poles are used, with provi- sions for cross bars and additional wires as the service demands. The Kellogg electric magnetic phone sys- tenn is used.

Progressives Control Iowa Republican
Convention.
Waterloo, a., June 28.-While "pro-
gressives" were in control of the Re-
publican state convention they did
not control with any vind1etiveness,
but in reasonable good temper. They
adopted state platform giving en-
thusiastic endorsement to Governor
C,mmins and the progressive legisla-
ton on railroad and corporation aues-
tons, but they also gave warm en-
dorsement to the services Of the Iowa
delegation in congress, and especially
to Senator William 3. Allison, a
pledge tor his reelection by the next
legislature. The "progress!ves" Sc
cured control Of the new state cam
paign committee, controlling it by
majority of one.
The convention nominated John
Scott Ladd and Silas M. Weaver to
succeed themselves on the supreme
bench and also went through the
formality of approving the nominal
lions for state officers made in the re-
cent primaries
The convention gave loud applause
to the mention of the names of Sena,
tors Allison and Dol1iver and it gave
q demonstration of some minutes when
Governor Cummins responded to calls
for speech.
Governor Cunamins spoke in good
spirit and pledged himself to work for
Republican success.

FISH QUITS OLD ROAD.
Man Who Built Up Illinois Central
Selling His Stock.

Chicago, June 26.-The Inter-Ocean
says:
Within the last few weeks Stuy-
vesant Fish, formerly president of the
Illinois Central railroad, is said to
have sold approximately 10000 shares
of his Illinois Central holdings.
With the liquidation of the balance
of his holdings matter of $500
shares-which, it is presumed, will
soon take place, he will discontinue
his interest in the road he began to
build thirty years ago and over whose
sdestinies for twenty years he presided
as president.
The Fish connection with Illinois
Central affairs, now believed to be
drawing to close, covers a remark
able period in the railroad history of
the country and in that period no fig
ure was more conspicuous than Stuy-
vesant Fish. The picturesque and
long drawn out fight waged against
him by Edward Fl. Hartman for the
control of the Illinois Central, defeat
in which is apparently acknowledged
with the sale Of the stock, was only
q type of the battles he fought through
three decades.
