Opportunity Offered.

''The opportunity for such an in
stitution grows Immediately out OF
the disturbance that was apparent
to a marked extent and is appar-
ent still to hurtful extent in the
irrigation bond market. This dis
turbance, which destroyed conf
dence in scores of irrigation local
ties that are worthy of the fullest
confidence, has made such a bank,
with its staff of experts, a necessity
1 can see the field for such an in
stitution and believe it will be in
existence before many months
Mr.. Fellows declared that the
first rule of such a bank, if it came
into existence, should be that no
project, however promising, wauld
be promoted by the bank itself. He
declared that he traced the basic
cause of the bond market distur-
bance to the fact that many bond
houses, seeing the possibilities of
irrigation development, ventured in
to the development field.

Proposed

Chicago, June PA. Lincoln
Fellows, secretary and general man
ager o. Field, Fellows & Hinderli-
Ger, Denver, Colo, one of the pro-
minent engineers of the west, ar
rived in Chicago recently and with
an hour afterward, in a talk with
several engineers and banking men,
lie corrected any impression that
may have existed in the minds of
his auditors that the slump of 1910
IN the irrigation bond market
throughout the east was an evil
devoid of any good.
Mr.. Fellows is here primarily, he
asserted, to further establish con-
fidence in the west. Speaking OPP
timistically of the progress the
west is making he made the rather
startling assertion that movement
has been discussed in Chicago
10 establish a bond banking house,
having it's head in New York with
a branch here, which will deal ex-
clusively in irrigation and other
agricultural development securities.
"There is place in the east
for such an institution and l know
that several bond men are think
ing seriously of establishing such

sons why, in my opinion, such an
institution would be successful.
understand that the suggestion now
is to have the house something in
the nature of clearing house to
which would be referred all issues
of irrigation securities.
'In the first place, an institu-
ton like this would do more than
any other one thing, l think, to eli
inmate what are called the wildcat

There is no denying that the east
has become critical-the eastrn man
now has some definite idea of what
constitutes an irrigation project,
while two or three years ago he did
not have this knowledge. This made
possible a great loose speculation
en- the part of the so-called deve-
loper. The more critical the east
is, however the better the condi-
tons, 1 believe, for the irrigation
project of merit in the west.
Amy irrigation project in the
west worthy of consideration at all
can stand the severest criticism
there are manw of them that invite
such criticism-and with banking

bonds of any one project were O. fer

kind of recommendation
for the enterprise in itself. The bono
house would, of course, have a corp.
of bankers and engineers or other

UNIQUE STRAW HAT CLOCK

In the east window of the big Frey
& Collins store they have on display
straw hat clock, the idea of Mr..
Wenzel, the window trimmer, which
serves as very fitting drawing card
to a well arranged window display Of
straw hats. Mr.. Wenzel used TO wear
the hat last summer but decided this
year that he would use it for more
unique purpose. He. accordingly,
painted a dial on the crown of the
hat, inserted clock works on the in
side and placed in the window for the
observation and Information of all
passerbys who might take the trouble
to look at it.
This big store has been having some
splendid windows lately and 1t al
