of the state. These loans while
crippling the bank, did not necces-
sarily render them insolvent. The
solvency or insolvency of the bank
depended upon the goodness or
badness of the securities hypothi-
Gated for the loans. Immediately
after the examiner made his first ex-
animation of the bank the board
earnestly endeavored to determine
the value of these securities and to
that end the examiner made repeated
requests of the Smith brothers to
furnish him with a list Of the assets
of the Eureka County Live Stock Co.,
OF the Smith Bullfrog Investment
company and of the Smith Brothers
Investment company, whose stocks
were pledged for loans and ordered
that the loans be reduced at once to
within legal limit. Failing to
receive list of the assets of the
companies above named, the board
called Mr.. Oscar J. Smith and Mr..
Bert l.. Smith before them at a
meeting in Carson City and demand
ed that these lists be furnished,
which the Smith brothers promised
to do at once. Later the following
letter was sent the Smiths:
October 7th, 1909.
Mr.. Oscar ]. Smith, President,
Eureka County Bank, Eureka, New.
Dear Sir: ....
The state banking board from the
examination of the affairs of the
Eureka County bank, has found it
necessary to be specifically advised
as to the assets and liabilities of the
Eureka Livestock company, the
Smith Brothers Investment com
pany, each OF which appears to be a
borrower from the Eureka County
bank, and whose combined liabilities
to the Eank are, in the opinion of
the board, greatly in excess of what
the safety of that institution could
stand, AM in excess Of the limit
prescribed by law. ........
The affairs of the Eureka County
bank demand that all the assets of
these companies should be trans
ferred and conveyed to the bank as
security for these loans.
In order that there may be no
misunderstanding between you and
the board, we require TO be furnished
within 10 days from this date a de-
tailed statement showing the assets
and liabilities Of each of the above
named companies, and in such form
as will apprise the board of the
persons or institutions to whom this
Indebtedness may be due, and the
amount due to each. We require
Iurtnef that you Immediately
porceed TO transfer all of the assets
of these companies to the bank for
its perfection, unless these loans are
within that time; otherwise, amply
secured to the satisfaction of the
board. The condition which the
board seeks to bring about is not to
be affected by the fact that the debt
ors of the bank are individuals in
stead of these companies it still
insists that all their assets be turned
over to the bank for the protection
and security Of. the bank as to all
the loans made either to Bert, L.

BANK COMMISSION
ER'S STATEMENT


tication of the course they followed
with the Eureka County bank. The
statement is signed by Governor
Dlckerson AS chairman of the board
and doubtless puts up the best de-
fense the board can make. lit is
given space in the interest of fair
play and not because we think it
justifies the course the board pursued
with the Eureka County bank.
However, we will let the antidote go
with the poison. The statement is
taken from Wednesdays. Reno
Journal and is as follows:
1t having come to the knowledge
of the state banking board that by
reason of its having closed the
Eureka County bank, and the at
tendant criticism of the board,
public confidence: in the banks of
this state has been considerably
shaken; as chairman of the board
desire to make the following state
ment:
Taken as a whole, the banking
institutions of the state have never
been in as good condition as they
are today.
= The great majority of them are
in splendid condition. BY actual
count IS per cent of the mare pract-
ically beyond criticism. They are
carrying large reserves and conduct
ing their business on the most con-
servative lines. There is no COM
parison between their conditions to-
day and a year ago. The per-
centage of reserve carried is
practically double; capitalization
notes largely eliminated, excess loans
wiped out or reduced to within the
legal limit, and secured as provided
by the new law. Most of the
banks of the state today will measure
up to the standard of national banks
in this and neighboring states.
When the law went into effect
creating the present board one year
ago, different state of affairs was
found to exist. There were eight or
10 banks in the state in fully as bad
condition as that of the Eureka
county bank and some of them were
in worse condition. A strict ap-
plication of the new law would have
closed every one of these, and COM
ing as it would on top of what the
state had so recently undergone, fully
one-half the banks of the state
would have gone down, working
untold distress on its citizens and
making Nevada an object Of scorn
to the balance of the country.
After much careful consideration,
the board resolved to build up in
stead of tearing down. With the
one exception Of he Eureka County
bank, their plans were completely
successful, and that bank today will
pay more to it's depositors than if
closed a year ago. AS to the banks
that were saved, they are among the
largest and strongest in the state,
deseryedly enjoying the respect and
confidence of their depositoEs and
reaping the legitimate profits to
which they are entitled. ye.,
. The Eureka county bank was one
Of many in wiltshire found excessive
loans ta wshiSb crippled the institution.

ALPHA RAYS TO NAVIGATE AIR.
Harvard Prodigy Expects to Reach
Venus in Twenty Minutes.

BOSTON, Mass. March 26.-William
Sdis, the 1l-ycar-old mathematical prod
icy Mt Harvard, has not been combining
his attentions alone to the problems on
the fourth dimension and other equally
simple matters but has been dclving into
the mysteries of aerial navigation From
one of the instructors it is learned that
Sdis believes he has solved the problem
of navigating the air.
His plan has to do with the alpha rays
that are given off from radIum. These
rays are small particles of matter which
leave the radium with great force. Work
ing upon this 'aSis. SidiS believes that by
attaching block of radium to the stern
of his airship the propclIiuE power will
he derived from the force with which
the alpha rays leave the radium in the
same manner that skyruCkct is pro-
PEELED through space.
Sids declares such n terrific speed will
he generated that it will take one to the
planet Venus in twenty minutes.

Byron.
Surely the women who screech out
their conversations in a high catbird
voice have never been brought to
realization Of how excellent a thing is
a soft voice in woman, the Denver
Republican says
The English women are conceded to
have much loyelier voices than the
American women. and it Is only be-
cause the English women take time to
enunciate clearly, speak gently, in soft,
low tones
The American women have Just as
musical voices as their English sisters,
but the American woman seems to be
in such mad haste to get il said and
said first that no thought is given as
to how 1t Is being said. Children al
ways have beautiful voices. A child's
voice never gets on ones nerves. 1t is
only later In life that the voice loses
its sweetness
How often a pretty face loses its
charm the moment the owner speaks,
and, on the other hand, most unat-
tractive woman will, when speaking,
be Irresistible owing to the beauty of
her voice. certain gentleman gives
as his opinion that women as they

velop in consequence. If this Is true,
It is time woman cultivated the happy
habit instead and thereby add to her
charms the wondrous fascination of a

An Englishman sitting next to him
at the table remarked: Your speech
