The several days of Colorado's
beautiful weather is reminder
that the spade, pick and drill will
soon be needed on the au tomobile
roadto the summit of Floyd Hill.
1t is a duty that cannot be com :
menced too soon nor pushed too
actively. The long winter has
caused the autos of Den
yer to hibernate and with the
return of pleasant weather, the
fever for making use of them will
be on and our road should be
finished at the earliest OF portunity
so as to attract them in this di-
rection. Pleasure seekers in Dem
yer have heard so much about the
Idaho Springs Way and. what
was done last fall that they will
naturally expect the road to be in
good shape this spring and will
be looking for trips over it. The
same spirit that was prevalent
last fall should and will take po-
session of our people and contin-
ue on until the road is completed
as designed, but this spirit should
not be delayed and now is the time
to plan for an early res umption
of the work.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
Plaza Pioneer: No truer friend of
this section Of the state has ever been,
than l.. B. Hanna; no man has ever,
OF could have don more to benefit the
Plaza country. He did Il by request
of a small part of the state and his
efforts will be on lasting benefit to us.
Every mar that owns a dollars worth
worth of property around tine reserva.
ton should make 1t q point to 10 to
the polls on electin day and last their
vote for L. B. Hanna for governor, as
the best tribute they can pay him for
his untiring efforts. Outside of any
gratitude we may wish to show Mr..
Hanna, we can be certain that ne Is
the most erhinently qualified of any
of the four candidates running. For
twenty years he has served the state

CiaI Combination

HETTINGER, N. D., Nov. 4.-On
the third anniversary of their open
ing day, the Hettinger State bank
and Bank of Hettinger were CONSOLE
dated and the business of the two
banks combined under the name Of
the Hettinger State bank, thus bring
ing about one OF the most important
business deals that has taken place
in this city for several months.
The deal was wholly unexpected
so far as the public was concerned,
but it had been under way for sew
eral weeks. The final arrangements
were completed on Saturday and the
books, papers, currency and business
! were transferred from the Bank OF
Hettinger building to the Hettinger
, State bank building on Saturday ev-
ening after both institutions had clos
ed for the day.
The consolidation of these two
banks brings about a few changes as
TO stockholders, some Of the old ones
retiring and a few new ones being
added. The officers of the combined
institution are Paul M. Brown, pres
ident; Frank A. Grown, Jr, vice pres
ident, and Frank Rhoda, cashier.
The business under the new ar
rangements will be conducted from
the Hettinger State banks fine brick
building, and the Bank Of Hettingel'
building will be closed until 1t a be
leased.
The consolidation of the two insti-
tutions Is q good business nov and

HETTlNGER, Nov. A frightful
accident occurred about two miles east
of Lennon when a c. M. & st. P.
locomotive exploded, killing Engineer
Seeley, Head Brakeman Breiting and
seriously injuring the fireman.
The train to which the locomotive
was attached was an extra freight,
west bound. Engineer Seeley was at

noise attracted their, attention. Bret.

Engineer Seeley's home is at Mar.

stockholders, as well az TO the public.
With four banks at Hettinger this
hne of business was overdone and the
scramble for business was neither
profitable to the owners nor beneficial
to the public. The consolidation has
at once eliminated one institution and
made CT the consolidated bank n
OF the strongest institutions In this
section, both in the personnel OF It's
management and in its financial stand
ing. The capital stock is now S25,0OO.
The combined deposits are over $780,.
900 and the combined resources $780,
900 to $4,000, thus placing the Het-
finger State bank in the front rank
among the banks of the state.
The fact that the active officers OF
both banks remain in active charge
of the consolidate institution gives
strength to the combination. The
Browns are born bankers and have
steadily been pushing their institution
to the front in the face of the strong
competition. They are thorough bus
mess men, enterprlsing and alert and
have strong financial backing.
Mr.. Rhoda was Hettinger's first
banker, having been in charge of the
old Security bank, which was opened
in a shack on the prairie when Het.
finger was still in the tent 81 age. He
has been connected with the banking
business at Hettinger practically ever
since. He has a thorough knowledge
of banking, is we'll acquainted with
the people Of Hettinger county, is a
very popular and likable young man
and will be a strong asset for the
Hettinger State bank.
Differed, managed and financed as
it now is, the consolidated Hettinger
State bank has before it a future full
Of promise.
