Platte Valley Bank To Close

The Platte Valley Bank is to
close its doors ON the 3lst day of
this month. Its affairs are being
wound up now by Cashier Tuttle
and by the end of the month what
accounts are not settled will be
turned over to the Saratoga State
Bank. This conclusion was reach
ed at a meeting of the stockhold-
ers held at the bank on last Satur-
day. The banks business was
not satisfactory to the stockhold-
ers and T. A. Cosgriff made them
an offer for their stock which was
accepted, which will result in the
winding up of the banks affairs.
The Cosgrif's owned a controlling
interest in the bank and what &C
counts are left will be carried to
to the Saratoga State Bank, also
controlled by the Cosgriffs.

A Pleasant Fishing Trip

Last week we had the pleasure
of a visit from Hon. Fla. Williams
legal light and prominent Repub-
lican politician of Denver. To-
gether with the foreman of the
Sun Office we went to the ranch of
I. M. Sanger, on the North Platte
river, some q miles above here,
where we found not only most ex-
cellent fishing in the river, but &C
comodations at the Sanger ranch
that could not be beaten in any
mans land. Judge Williams is an
enthusiastic fisherman. Starting
out in good reason in the morning

peated the dose in the afternoon,
but the other member of the party
laid up for repairs, having been
out-classed by the strenuous work
of the morning. The fishermen
returned at about $50 p, IN. with
another good catch.
The Judge had a kodak along
and the next morning was spent
in fishing and kodaking the beaut-
iful scenery along the river bank.
After which we left for home and
the Judge left for Denver Tuesday
morning. 1t was a most enjoyable
outing and everyone returned re-
freshed from the trip.

Washington, 24.-Many Wyom.
ing homesteadors will read with
read with interest of the efforts OF
Senator Warren to provide them
a leave of absence from their lands
until the first of April next. For
some time letters have been com.
ing to Washington from the Lub-
lie land states, complaining of
unusual conditions and threaten
ing to force homesteaders away
from their claims in order to make
a living In Wyoming and many
many parts of the west the severe
drouth has made crops impossible
on much homestead land and
some such move as the Warren
bill seemed the only relief posi-
BILE.
The Warren bill provides that
all persons who haye heretofore
made homestead entries in North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming, Minnesota, Washing
ton. Oregon, Arizona and New
Mexico are relieved from the nee
cessity of residence upon their
claims from the date of the pas
sage Of the act until April Is, 1912
This time is not to be deducted
from the total residence period re.
quired by law.
Because of its decessity, an eff
fort will be made to have the bill
considered by the senate at an
early date, and passed on over to
the house, where it is hoped to Sc
cure it's enactment before the
close of the present session.

Woes OF The Initiative
And Referendum

Denver, Colo, July 22.-Govern.
or Shafroth is worried over the
use to which the people, or part Of
the people. r putting the refer.
endum amendment to the state
constitution. He declares that il
will cost $25O.OOO to $275, 900 to
pay the printing bills if all the
measures now under consideration
are referred to the people. He
prefers that the people permit the
Legislature to remedy defects at
present.
Governor Shafroth shook his
head obviously as he volunteered
a statement this morning. Evil
IDENTIFY he had been giving the
subject considerable thot.
81 am sorry to see the ~referend-
um used in this manneI.," declared
Mr.. Shafroth. "The bank guar
anty bill, which it is proposed to
refer, is a lengthy document. I
wish such long bills were not re-
ferred to the people under our
present system of printing in the
newspapers. 1t all the bills now
before the people by petition are
referred to the next general elect
ion, the cost will be $3.50, 900 to
$275, 900.
81 should prefer that the people
wait until we can amend the print
ing section of the amendment 80
that we eau have the referred bills
published in book form at reduced
expense.
81 am surprised that the ban
kers are referring the bank guar
anty bill. Before the bill was
passed it was my understanding
that the bankers had consented to
all it's provisions except to the
guaranty feature and that at their
that section would be referred to
the people. 1t appears now that
they are dissatisfied with the whole
measure. The bank guaranty was
one of the platform pledges, and
in my judgement is. on the whole,
a good law"
Among other bills upon which
Referendum petitions r now cir
culating, are the two affecting the
state normal school, the Carpen-
ter reservoir bill and the Crowley
bill to appropriate money for the
legal defense of waters used by
Arkansas river farmers and claim
ed by Kansas. The tunnel bill
was referred by the Legislature.
AS the people also have the in
itiative power several lengthy bills
which the legislature failed to en-
act may be offered by petition at
the next general election.
Announcement was made at a
meeting of the executive commit
tee of the state bank section of the
Colorado Bankers association al
the Brown Palace hotel last night
and more than the required mum.
Der of signatures already had beer
obtained to refer the bank guar
anty bill to the people. 1t wal
declared that the petition will bs
filed at once in the Office OF the
secretary of state.
