OLD BANK MOVE
 IS ORIGINATED ALL MAY GET TOGETHER BANKING SITUATION COMPLEX WITH THREE INSTITUTIONS
 BEING ORGANIZED.

Checkmating the move of the lead ing stockholders in the two old banks at Conway to organize a $50,000 trust company, the promoters of the new First National Bank today secured a charter themselves for a similar in- sttution of 50,000 capital to be known as the Union Trust Company. The articles of incorporation were flied with County Clerk J. H. Bailey this morning and a charter was is sued by Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges this afternoon.
 With this latest move the situation Tn financial circles has become rather complex, and it is impossible to fore cast was the final outcome will be here. If all the financial institutions now in process of organization are carried through there will be two state banks, the Faulkner County Bank and the Bank of Conway; two trust companies, the newly-orgarized Union Trust Company and the one planned by principal stockholders of the two old banks at a meeting Mon- day night; and one national bank, the First National, application for a charter for which is now in the hands If the United States comptroller of currency. One of the First National people stated this afternoon, howev- CT, that it was possible that the finan- ral interests of the city would get together and unite in the organization of single trust company, and the ether two institutions would not be formed.
 The Union Trust Company was or ganized at meeting held in the par lors of the Layman hotel last night J. H. Stubbs was elected president,

J. Frank Jones, vice president, G. l.. Banner, secretary, and F. A. Van De- ren, treasurer The capital stock is composed of 2,000 shares of $25 each, of which $500 are subscribed, as fol- lows: J. Frank Jones, 160; ]. H. Stubbs, 80 w. w. Rivers, 20; A. E. Livingston, 40; E. Erbacher, 40; W. B. Clayton, 20; G. E. Owen, 20; G. L.. Banner, 120; A. J. Meadors, 20; F. A. Van Deren, 80. The directors are J.. H. Stubbs, J. Frank Jones, A. E. Iiv- ingston, G.E Owen, G. L. Banner, F. A. Van Deren and W. w. Rivers.
 The charter states the company lis formed for the purpose of conducting a general banking business in all it's branches, with power to purchase, own, sell and convey real estate and personal property and stocks in other corporations; a general real estate, abstract and insurance business"
 Practically all of the stockholders in the Union Trust Company are sub ecribers for stock in the proposed First National Bank, and it is stated that these interests have from the first planned to conduct trust com- pany as an adjunct or feeder for the national bank. "It was on this ac- count" said one of the officers of the Union Trust Company today, "that we were anxious to secure a charter. for a national bank with only $25,000 paid in capital, as We had intended from the first to operate trust com 0anv of similar capital to be owned by the same stockholders. This would have given us $5O,000 working capi- tai, and the national bank would have been confined to strictly banking busi- ness while the trust company would have handled real estate loans and transacted, such other classes of busi- ness as do not properly come within the scope of a national bank"
 In the meantime, the canvassing committee of the other trust company planned at Monday nights meeting are today receiving subscriptions for stock in this institution and the news that the First National interests had won in the race to get charter first apparently is having no effect on their work.

SOIL DRAINAGE
 A BIG SUCCESS
EXPERIMENT AT NORMAL
WILL HAVE BENEFICIAL EFF FECT ALL OVER STATE,
 THINKS SUPT. COOK.

The soil drainage system recently installed in the low portion of the State Normal farm land will not only greatly enhance the value of this land, but will be a valuable object lesson to Faulkner county and the entire state, according to Superintendent Geo. B. Cook, chairman of the Nor nal board of trustees.
 The Normal has successfully drain cd marsh containing over 20 acres of land on the farm and converted it into tillsble soil by means of a sys- tenn of underground drainage. The marsh in question previous to being drained was not even valuable for grazing purposes, as during 9 large part of the season stock begged dawn in it's mire, but Superintendent Cook, who accompanied the legislative com mittee here Wednesday, says that the same ground is now one of the most valuable tracts on the farm. Profess  sor Cook is enthusiastic over the sue cess of the experiment and thinks that it will not only be means of induc- ing the Faulkner county farmers to drain their wet lands, but will be re- ferred to as an example by the stu dents there from all over the state, especially those who live in lowlands counties, who have witnessed the sue cessful drainage of the marsh by sub soil methods.
 "We had something like between 20 and 30 acres of very marshy wet land
 in our so acre farm belonging to the Normal school, and it was decided by the board to drain this by tiling un- derground," said Superintendent Cook Wednesday. Bids were asked

Governor Hawley's Advice.

Governor Hawley's inaugural ad-
dress was evidently well received and
regarded as an able state document,
judging by reports from the state
capital. It was of considerable length
and made comprehensive review of
state affairs.
Many of Governor Hawley's recon-
inendations are of generally commend=
able character, and he has largely
avoided the more dangerous political
shoals in proposed legislation. He is
evidently DESTROYS of harmony and CO.
operation on the part of state political
parties. regardless of previous preju-
dices, thus forming an effective force
for the promotion of the states general
inteIests. In such an attitude, Gov
ernor Hawley will have the sympathy
and SUPPORT of all loyal citizents.
At the best, the governors political
position is not an easy one, for con-
tending factions will tend to largely
iullify otherwise effective action.
Legislators will do we'll to remember
That the states chief executive repre-
SCENTS the people of the entire COM
monwealth, and not merely a political
party. Many important measures are
likely TO be UP for consideration at the
present Session. Destructive legisla-
tion will not receive popular federation,
nor is it likely to get executive support.
Too few, rather than too many, laws
are preferable. Idaho needs some new
laws and it Gould dispense with some of
the old laws. 1t is to be hoped that
the states lawmakers and chief ex-
ecutive can cooperate in the enact
ment of measures that will be of real
service to all the people of the state. =

Gain Of Power for Westl

The large gains of population have
been made in the west. This means a
movement of political power in that
direction. 1t means not only gain of
representation in congress by the west
ern states. but also domination In the
presidential conventions.
The time is not far distant when the
west will largely dictate in the choice
of president, as we'll as in the formu-
lation of national policy. This means
a new progressive spirit in national af-
fairs, characteristic of the mconven-
tional spirit of the western states,
which really represents the most char
acteristic American civilization.

going into the battery. So strongly
entrenched is this theory and so uni
versal1y believed that any statement to
the contrary will be received with I'M
belief by metallurgists. But the ques-
ton as to the truth of the theory may
be brought up in all seriousness. Upon
what real practical evidence does it
rest? Who has tested the theory?
Does the idea that grease will stop
amalgamatfon rest merely upon a hoary
haired tradition.
Of course we all know that lard and
mercury when rubbed together make
blue, unctuous substance for which
many a distressed mill man has been
exceedingly grateful. For who of the
experienced fraternity have not had to
sleep occasionally in vermin-infested
bunk bouse? So It is assumed that
grease will effectually break up quick
silver in the battery and form blue
ointment. Of course. blue ointment
will have no amalgamation effect on
gold ore even if, in the miners ver-
nacular, it is 'lousy" with gold. Hence
it has been assumed and taught that
grease is very detrimental to good gold
milling.
R. L. Martin, of Central City, Colo,
is responsible for a test which would
seem to indicate that the effect of
grease on amalgamation has been, to
say the least; greatly over-estimated.
Some years ago, at the Avon mill, the
low savings by. amalgamation were at
tributed to grease in the water. The
water supply for the mill came from a
stream that flowed close to slaughter
house. To test this theory Mr.. Martin
arranged matters so that two adjoining
batteries were working on identical
ore. Into Die battery 10 gallons of raw
linseed oil was dripped during "a hours
and the other battery was run normally.
At the end of the test both batteries
were critically examined, and the con-
dition was found to be identically the
same in each battery.
1t is fair to say that at first we re-
garded the statement as joke, but it
was made seriously and in good faith.
1t seems flying in the face of all teach
ing and tradition, yet when an old-time
mine operator makes such statement
as the result of a practical test, it be.
hooves those of us whe have taken the
matter for granted, to stop and con.
slider the ground of our belief. Grease
does not necessarily have to go into q
mill, and decent management requires
that cam-shaft bearings should not DRIP
oil, and that wads of grease should moi
fall off cams and tappets. So we have
accepted the theory and religiously
guided ourselves BY it; it has bocom,
automatic. But are there any grounds
for the theory? In view of what Mr.
Martin states, it would appear not; o.
course. neither Mr.. Martin nor an,
other practical man would advise thu
addition of grease to stamp mill bat
terry, and the ffiattef has been mention
ed rather as a metallurgical curiosity
and to raise the question whether
great many of the old rules so general
ly accepted in mining and milling
might not be more generally criticised
instead of being accepted and lived u
to without Thought. Mining World.

10 PERFECT FENCING MATERIAL.
Species Of cacti Form Hedges Prae-
tlcally lmpenetrable.

The hedges which we ordinarily see
bordering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and identifying
effect, and not as a substitute for fenc.
ing material. but in the extreme south
western part of the United States
there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species OF cacti, such as the prickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to inclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions,
and these hedges are practically inn
penetrable. Wild animals are thus
effectually prevented from attacking
the herds and fiecks, and a supply of
fodder may always be obtained by
burning off the spines from the tender
young shoots of the cactus.
Remains of hedges Is feet in height
are to be seen near the locations Of
the old missions in southern Califor-
mia, where they once served as forth
fications TO protect the little settle
ments. Instead Of fences the Mexicans
use what is known as the organ cac-
tus. When stakes of this plant are set
in the earth they readily take root,
and soon present a formidable barrier
OF thorns.-Harper's Weekly.

WAS HAPPY ONE.
Good Idea That Rescued Student from
a Serious Dilemma.

A student in one of the theological
colleges found himself face to face
with an examination in Old Testament
history-a subject which he had en-
tirely ignored all term. Taking coun-
sci with some friends, he decided that
all he really needed to know was the
long list of the names of the kings
of Israel and their dates. So he
crammed them each and all into his
bursting head. But, sad to relate, all
he was asked to do was to criticise
the acts of Moses. Not one act of
Moses, good, bad, or Indifferent, could
the unfortunate youth remember, so,
after much thought, he wrote as fol-
lows:
Far be 1t for one as humble as
am to criticise the acts of the great
Moses; but, if you would care to know
the names of the kings of Israel and
their dates, you will find them writ.
ten below!"
He was passed.
