THE STATE BANK COMMISSIONERS

The condition of the Eureka
County Bank shows that its man.
agement was rotten to the core.
While the men responsible for its
condition deserve punishment, the
state bank commissioners stand
before the people in about the same
light.
The creation of this board by the
legislature was for the purpose of
protecting the people of the state
from loss through the dishonest if
not criminal management of bank
ing institutions. By the sworn
evidence of Bank Examiner Van
Feet before Judge Breen, it appears
that the bank examiner reported
the Eureka County Bank insolvent
nearly a year ago. With this knowl-
edge in their possession for nearly
Il year, the bank commissioners
permitted this bank to conduct bust
ness when they knew it was in
solvent. By so doing, they failed
most g%rievously in the performance
of their duty to the people. 1t will
not do for them to say that the
distress and loss would have been
greater had they acted upon the
report of the bank examiner made
in April 1909. They cannot prove
this to the satisfaction of the people.
Possibly the then depositors might
have lost more than they will now,
but to offset this many will lose who
would not have suffered if the
board had closed the bank when its
insolvency was first made known.
There is only one safe course for
officials to follow and that is to obey
their official oaths and enforce the
law without fear or favor. Had
the state bank commissioners en-
forced the law and closed theEureka
County Bank as was their sworn
duty they would not now be cen
sured and CONDEMNED by public
sentiment.

GEORGE HALE

The death of George Hale at Salt
Lake Tuesday afternoon has sad
dened the hearts of his many friends,
as well as burdening his relatives
with a load of sorrow. While we
do not fathom the ways Of the
Creator, we + told in Holy writ
that he doeth all things well. Yet,
it seems strange that a young man
in the prime of life should be taken
away when the world was just be-
ginning to open up to him.
George Hale was born on his
fathers ranch in Huntington valley,
May "a, 1879. His boyhood days
were spent there and in Elko. He
attended the public school and grew
to manhood here.
On January 9th, he went to Salt
Lake to visit his sister, Mrs. Me-
Ginty. On February 9th. he was
taken with pneumonia. He i'm
proved under the care of his physi-
clans and was on the road to re-
cOvery, when he had a relapse.
Since then he has been operated on
several times and his suffering was
intense. Death came to his relief
at last. During his last illness, he
had the best of care and medical
attendance. The physicians and
nurses at st. Marks hospital were
untiripg in their efforts to restore
him to health. His mother and
sister also watched over him. His
father was with him when the end
came.
A father and mother. three sis
tcrs, Mrs. II. S. Van Driclcn and
Mrs. Shonerd, residing here, and
Mrs. McGinty of Salt Lake and Miss
Hattie Hale of Oakland California,
and a brother, Frank, and an aged
grandmother Mrs. Hudson of Oak
land, California, survive him. They
have the sincere sympathy Of this
community in their bereavement.
We have known George Hale
since he was a small boy in the
public shoot. He was an honest.
industrious, upright young mar and
his friends were legion.
Now. that he has passed to the
other shore let us cherish his
memory.
His remains, accompanied by his
father and mother and sister. Mrs.
McGinty, will arrive from Salt Lake
on No. 5 tonight. The time Of the
funeral cannot be fixed until tomor-
row, but it will be underline auspices

Pythias Of which he was "A highly

Eureka Livestock Company Assets

After Bank Examiner Van Fleet had read his statement of the assets
and liabilities to the Court on Monday, several dcpostors of the the
bank could not understand why no mention was made of the Eureka Live
Stock Company securities held by the bank. A Sentinel representative
Later asked Mr.. Van Fleet regarding the matter, and he replied:
The reason no mention of the Eureka Live Stock Company is made in
the list of assets is that the Indebtedness of the Eureka Live Stock Com
pany is included under the head of good notes and ovcrdrafts in setting
forth the assets of the bank. That he considers the Indebtedness of the
Eureka Live Stock Company to the bank good for the reason that the
bank has attached all the property belonging to the Eureka Live Stock
Company, and that if nothing Unforeseen comes u the propcrtv of the
Eureka Live Stock Company will fully pay the Indebtedness of the Euro
ka Live Stock Company to the bank"

state convention of Indiana Tuesday.
In his opening speech, he defended
his action in voting against the new
tariff law and his remarks were
greeted with great applause. Fol-
lowing are extracts from his speech:
Like President Taft, / wanted

greatest deposit on earth, and which
the steel trust chiefly controls" he
said. 81 could not stand for the

they are happy if pop or the hired

them on their way.
Charles P. Cushing. writer in Les
lies Weekly, has some interesting
things to say about the use of the
automobile ON farms-for instance:
David Rankin. owner of system of
farms comprising 25,640 acres near
Tarkio. Mo-. has some philosophy on
this subject. He likes to feel the pull
of reins and sticks to the old fashion
ed buggy himself. but he gives his
foremen automobiles. This is simply
part of his business policy: Get the
best and latest farming implements.
They are the cheapest in the end"
To say, as writer's for certain auto
mobile journals do, that the farmers
are hostile to automobiles is rank
nonsense The greatest difference of
opinion on motorcars may be found
among the farmers in the same state
or even in the same county. AS CORE
spondent for the Kansas City Star |
toured Missouri with Governor Joseph
w. Folk when he was campaigning for
the senatorship in the fall of 1908. In
the more progressive towns the farm
ers had their motorcars waiting at the
hitching posts around the courthouse
square as evidence of the progressive
spirit and the prosperity of the COM
munity more patent than fat sheep or
bullying corncribs.
In Kansas hundreds of farmers have
bought automobiles. That is not a
newspaper Feature story" for the de-
location of the gullibie and the amuse-
ment of editorial satirists. 1t is plain
fact
Do not jump to the conclusion from
this. however. that many farmers have
bought blindly. The farmers famil-
iarity with tools and farm machinery
and gasoline engines is a far better
preparation for intelligent selection OF
a car and intelligent care of it after

How Colorado Farmers Make Profit BY
Preuaring Seed.

How Colorado Farmers Make Profit ~
Procuring Seed.
In eastern Colorado. where most
vine crops grow Ito perfection" on
the irrigated lands. hundreds of Gu
cumbers. cantaloupes and watermel-
ons are reserved for seed by seed com.
panies and by farmers who grow them
for the seed houses. 1t is a common
sight from the first Of October to the
first of December to see machines In
the fields of cucumbers and melons
thrashing them for their seed
The growing of cucumberS for seed
is considered very profitable. and often
the owner clears from 500 to $50 an
acre. While it is possible to sell the
cucumbers to canning factory. many
farmers prefer to let them remain for
seed. as the expense of gathering u
not so great and the income an acre
is nearly as much. The thrashin9
continues for only short time and
costs a moderate amount.
The cucumber thrasher is a peculiar
looking machine. 1t is built on q
wagon-like frame with great wide
wheels and is drawn by two horses.
At the rear Of the machine is station
ed the little two horse power gasoline
engine which operates the machinery
of the thrasher Just in front Of the
engine is the crusher. which looks
something like a common cider mill.
1t contains two iron rollers moving
together and crushing the cucumbers
as they pass between them.
Against the crusher is set the frame
work containing the real seeder. When
the cucumbers are crushed they pass
out into this large cylindrical seeder,
the outer surface of which is wire
netting with meshes large enough to
permit the seed to drop through into
a vat below. but holding back the
crushed cucumbers. AS the cylinder
slowly revolves the seeds drop through
the netting into box.
