BANK OPENING,

AS announced in our last issue
the formal opening of the new bank
building took place on Saturday
July IL. The directors held a meet
ing in the new directors room on
the first floor in the morning and
in the afternoon the building was
thrown open to public inspection.
Besides the directors, many of
the stockholders and patrons from
out of town were present. In adj
dition, a large number of people
responded to the invitation to take
a look at the new building. Both
the banking rooms and the living
apartments on the second floor were
opened to the public, and from
three o'clock until six the reception
committee was kept busy.
Light refreshments were served
in the front rooms upstairs and a
general good time was enjoyed by
everybody. A reception and en-
tertainment committee consisting
of Mrs. Edward Ladley, Mrs. E.
J Mullen, Mrs. A. III. Buschhaus-
en-, Mrs. U. Bird and Mrs. f. w.
Meylert, had been appointed at the
last meeting of the directors, and
they discharged their duties in a
highly pleasing and satisfactory
manner, ,meriting the praise and
thanks of all.
The new bank building is all that
could be desired in every respect.
Architect Litzelman is to be con-
graduated upon its plans. Con-
tractor Rogers has erected the
building on honor and it is a credit
to him as a builder. On every side
are heard expressions of commend
alton with reference to the banking
room, directors room and vault
which are models of bank con-
struction.
The success of the bank is fully
assured. Although it was opened
less than year ago, it has been
fully demonstrated that it will be
an excellent paying institution. AT
the last call of the Comptroller of
the Currency it showed deposits of
about S25, 900, loans and discounts
of over $50, 900, and carries nearly
IA thousand dollars surplus. This
for the first nine months of its ex-
istence is certainly fine showing.
The opening last Saturday was
decided success in every particu-
lar and the directors are to be COM
mended for their labor and congrat-
ulated upon their success.

Lehigh Valley Rail Road
Raises Passenger Rates.

As a result of the decision of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
recently handed down, in the case
of the Reading Railway against
the County of Philadelphia, to en-
join the county from enforcing the
two cent fare law of 1907, the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company is
enabled to restore the passenger
rates which prevailed on that line
prior to October |, 1907. The
compSy complied with the 1907
law under protest, because of the
large penalties which it would suf-
fer for non compliance is case the
law should be upheld.
Tariff schedules based upon the
old passenger rates have beeu pre-
pared and put into effect by the

The Ballinger ImbrOgliO.

which investigated the charges
against Secretary of the interior,
Ballinger, have closed their hear
ings and will probably report that
the Secretary has not committed
any wrongful act, and that the
charges against him have not been
sustained by the evidence.
This may be true but was not
after the fact that his appointment
to office was mistake which now
no doubt President Taft realizes.
Mr.. Ballinger does not deny that
previous to his appointment he had
been employed as lawyer by the
Cunningham claimants including
Senator Guggenheim and j. Pier
pont Morgan, to prosecute their
claims to extensive tracts of coal
lands in Alaska, and obtain patents
for them which would put these
claimants into immediate and un-
alterable possession of immensely
valuable property obtained from
the United States at very small
cost. Guggenheim is wealthy
Jew and Mr.. Morgan is well
known organizer of great syndi-
Gates for successful speculation.
One of the first acts of Mr.. Bal
linger after taking Office was to
claim that the Forestry Bureau
which had heretofore been under
the direction and control of James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture,
rightfully belonged to the Depart
ment of the Interior of which he
was the head People are loath to
give up power and patronage and
Secretary Wilson naturally resent
ed, and resisted the claim and was
determined to ''hold the fort
Mr.. Pinchott, head of the For
eStry Bureau, not desirOus OF
changing masters, took a hand in
the controversy and welded a
sharp pen. Why did Mr.. Balling-
er want this bureau attached to his
already extensive department?
Law judges never petition to have
their districts enlarged. Laborers
the world over are asking for fewer
instead of more hours of work.
Ballinger did not love Pinchott,
and maybe he had some friend to
whom he wanted to give his place.
Mr.. Pinchott had several hundred
clerks and agents in his employ
and no doubt Mr.. Ballinger had
good friends enough to fill all the
positions and more besides.
The quarrel was only ended when
the President decided that as for
estry had no natural connection
with agriculture, the bureau prop
erly belonged to the Department of
the Interior. Ballinger had won.
Wilson had lost, and no doubt felt
keenly his defeat, but very sensi-
bly, submitted with a good grace.
He had held his Office for twelve
yea Is under different administra-
tionA and never bumped his head
against stone wall, and was not
going to do it now. Pinchott with
his shrewdness and the courage of
a lion, kept up the fight and had to
be removed by the President for
insubordination.
