IL ls doubtful 1t there are many cities
the size Of Dickinson that can boast Of
q larger expenditure in the building and
Improvement line for the past year, than
can our little city. While this was not
considered q boom year, still the amount
of money expended in permanent and
up-to-date buildings will be surprise
to many. 5
A conservative estimate gives the
amount Of building improvements, in
Guiding the N. r. works. at about $3.50. :
900 in. the city. and not in the city has
the most important building been done.
The farmers in Stark and adjoining
counties have been erecting new and
modern homes in place Of the sod shacks
andtfine new barns with up-to-date con-
veiiences. such as hay carriers. venti-
latine systems, etc.
Most Of these farmers came here dur
ing the last 20 years without money
enough to buy a team Of horses, and
notwithstanding few off years. they
have taken money from the land that
more than repaid them for their work.
just outside the city we see the large.
new barn Of Timothy Cuskelly. erected
during the past year. also the new farm
homes Of Henry Cooke and John Duck
horn. !,
n the city, the building expenditure
show q healthy increase over the past
year but not as large as the expendi-
lures in this line in 1908, when the
RUSSELL Miller Milling Co.'S. new mill
was erected, also the new library and a
number of business blocks. n
One big addftion tosthe city the past
year was the erection 81 the Masonic

ANEW BANK FOR WTNSLOW

The Bank of Wrnslow organized in Winslow last week and the art ic'es of incorporation fled here Monday.
 This is one of the strongest banks in northern Arizona having for its president, E J. Gibson, Superintendent of this division of the Santa Fe and one of the best know men of Arizona or New Mexico, his friends are leg lon all the way from Albuquerque to Los Angeles. Every railroad man is his frend and will stand by him. MT. Gibson is a man of not many words. but those words are as good as gold. W. H. Dagg, is the vice presid- ent of this bank, he is one of the best known business men in Ariz- ona. His credit is never question ed. he is a man of much means and of integrity and will be a valuable man for the bank. Mir. c. H.. Reyes, who is the cashier, is a well known business man at Winslow and is well know to every one in this part of Arizona. He is a young man who has ap- piled himself to the duties of life and has made a success and no better man could have been selected for cashier, pr. o, 6. Brown, a man known by us all, a man who always has a friendly greeting for his fellow man, and who numbers his friends by the hundreds all the way from Albu- querque to San Francisco. He is a man of large means and will lend strength to the bank. The last named director. or rather the first as they appear on the articles is a man already well known as a banker and merchant and who has made a success of all his undertakings. He is a man very careful in all he does. al ways inspiring confidence in those who have business to dc with a bank, the man we refer to is John R. Hulet. He is a man of large means and made a success Of the banking busine-3. These men will lend strength to the new bank and they have a reputation to maintain so we predict a bright future for the Bank of Winslow.
