McQuillan's testimony was to the
effect that he was a director. that
he was present at a meeting in To-
nopah when Golden, himself and Pat

for nsbranch banks into National banks
purpose and that these men were to
report to the directors when they had
finished the work. He also testified
that the second meeting was never
held and that as far as he knew the
work Of the reforming the branches
was never ratified. McQuillan would
not commit himself to a definite
statement relying upon the minute
book for everything and when Boyd's S
questions could not be answered
from the minute book itself. he failed
TO give definite replies.
He said he thought however. that
the interest owned by the n. & O..
bank in the First National of Carson
City was between 100000 and 500
oO0. but didn't know. Chartz object
cd to what the witness thought, but

knowledge the court OVerruled the
objection Boyd tried to elicit some

specify and Chartz had an agreeable
smile on his face He asked McQuil-
Ian if the minutes show under what
conditions Golden was to act in re-
forming the branch banks into ma
tiOnal banks but McQuillan said
that such a matter should be in black
and white and if 1t was not. he
couldn't say why it wasn't.
Then Chartz discovered that the
regular manner of offering the min
ute book as testimony had not been
complied with and he required that
the book be offered regularly. 1t was
handed over for him to examine and
read if he so desired, but Golden took
one glance at it and ChartZ admitted
it as proper evidence. Boyd attempt.

branches into National banks, but Nc
Quillan could shed no light on the
matter other than to say the matter

The most important phase Of the

Let me not stay my hand
Because my gift is small:
Who gives and counts the cost.
He givcth not at all"

The large majority of the world,
while having great respect for
money, is ceasing To have any ut all
for the great money-gctters and their
methods. Just recently read an
article about Rockefeller lecturing
his Sunday School class ON honesty.
The comment was that Rockefeller
had forgotten his own dishonesty in
his dealings and that his fortune
was made up of the wreck and ruin
of thousands of men, and he was
talking of something OF which he
was absolutely ignorant. Several
colleges lately have refused contri-
buttons from Rockefeller, on ac.
count of tainted money. At the
National Conference Of Charities
and Corrections held at Buffalo, a
distinguished Jewish rabbi of New
York paid his respects in no uncer-
tain manner to Carnegie. He stated
that no man could build up such

Head Offices In Rutland.

Hereafter the head offices in the
East of the silo department of the
Creamery Package Manufacturing
Company will be located in Rutland.
C. P. Cooper, formerly manager of
Sthe plant in Rutland, and latterly To-
Gated in Albany, N. Y, has been in
Rutland the last few days making ar
rangements to open up offices there
by the first of December.
Previously the office work of the
silo department has been done from
the Albany office When the Rutland
end of the business, with the eXcep-
ton of the silo department, changed
hands, the office staff and a large num-
Der of the working force were trans
ferred to Albany. Most of the office
staff will now return to the Marble
city, and new offices will be opened
up at the silo plant on West street
This season has been the best in
the history of the company over sc
per cent. more business having beer
transacted this year than last which
was the best year up to that time
Next year is expected to be as good
as this year. The plant is closed dowr
for the winter and will probably MOI
resume operations until the first o.
April.

BARRE NEWS
Erred HARRIMAN's ESTATE.
Upwards of $4,000 Has Been Uncov-
cred and Will Go to Two Heirs.

The estate of the late Fred Harri-
man has been settled in Washington
County Probate Court, and the final
accountings of the administrator,
Frank j. Martin show that there is
between $4,000 and $4,000 to be divid
ed between the two children, Mrs.
Fred L. Page, of this city, and Carolus
d. Hartman, of New York City. Mr..
Martin was appointed administrator
of the estate before his appointment
as probate Judge of this district, and
he was continued in the position of
administrator because he had gone
deeply into the search for bringing
up Mr.. Harrimans property, and it
would have taken another appointee
long time to get the run of things.
The task of finding out how much
Mr.. Hartman was worth was an ex-
tremely difficult one, and it is even
thought that considerable property in
notes was wiped out of existence
when the aged man bst his life in the
burning of his home on the East
Barre road last year. 1t was Mr.. Har-
rimans practice, so his friends state,
to carry valuable papers about with
him, and probably he had some on his
person when his body was burned be-
yond recognition Most of the estate,
as found, was in personal property.
Many claims were presented against
the estate, as was expected; but only
two of chem were allowed in the set
Element. On man put in a claim for
keeping up Mr. Harriman's fences for
a period of 81 years. 1t was not al
lowed. There were others of like ten
or, which were not allowed Mr..
Hartman was not accustomed to take
people into his business confidence
but he found in Smyth Martin, of
Plainfield, the man he wanted to as
sist him, and he turned over most OF
his business transactions to Mr.. Mar
tin, who was virtually guardian for
him.
The dealings of the court were
mostly with Mr.. Martin and he turned
over the property which now consti.
tutes the estate of the man, whose
wealth was a matter of general specu
lation among the people of this city
where his eccenricities were so wei
known. There was no willie
