nor Hanna very we'll. In recent
issue it says that the report" that
MIR. Hanna presented from his pri-
vate purse at Gettysburg the sum Of
ten dollars apiece to the old soldiers
of North Dakota is incorrect and
that the money from which the dis.
tribution was made was the balance
of the fifteen thousand dollars appro-
priated from the soldiers home Fund
by the last session of the legislature.
This is entirely true, except that
there is and never has been re
port" to the effect that Hanna gave
the money from his private funds.
Each old soldier was compelled to
pay his fare to Fargo, from which
the excursion started. his expenses
for day and night in that city,
and for his meals gong and coming.
and the distribution of the remain
der of the fund was made for the
purpose of reimbursing the amounts
spent for the purposes named. MIR.
Hanna, however. was very kind to
the old soldiers. Each day Of the re-
union he provided at his own ex-
penae conveyances to take them to
the points Of interest on the battle
field. He camped with the North
Dakota men, his tent being one of
those on the encampment street
where the contingent from his state
was located. AS usual, he was the
same unassuming. approachable
Louie" Hanna that he was az home
steader. as state senator and as q
member of congress, and by his
many kindnesses and thoughtful acts
he endeared himself to all the men
from North Dakota who attended
the reunion. 1t is probable that,

appoint land board favorable to

The excursion to the Gettysburg
reunion left Fargo on the evening of
June 9th, going by way of st. Paul.
Chicago and Pittsburg. A COMPARE
son OF the conditions of the crops
along the railways travcrsed at that
time would not be to the detriment
Of the crop Of North Dakota. From
Fargo to Gettysburg we saw few Sec
tions Of country as good from q
farming standpoint as this seate.
All Of the wheat raised in those re.
gions is of the winter variety, and
Of course was ahead Of our spring
wheat. harvest having begun in some
parts. although considerable
amount Of this crop was still uncut.
From Pittsburg to Gettysburg the
country is largely mountainous. and
the "farms" consist of small patches
in the valleys and on the slopes at
the foot OF the mountains-or big
hills, rather which constitute the
Allegheny and Blue Ridge ranges.
1t 30 happened that during my alb.
sence witnessed no steady rain
nothing but an occasional shower of
perhaps five minutes duration, and
at Gettysburg and around Washing
ton heard as much growing be-
cause of dry weather as we have ever
heard in these parts during the same
length of time. As stated in my
! other letter from Gettysburg. the
apple crop between Pittsburg and
Gettysburg-in fact. all along the
railways by which | travelled in
Pennsylvania-amounts to very
little; and the peach crop in those
southern sections that send the early
peaches north must be none too
large. for this fruit in Gettysburg
was selling at five cents apiece, and
when left New York on my way
home they were selling at two for
FIVE cents.

to get the safe open, the

BANK EXAMINER

Clovis, n. NJ, June 1S.-The Ameri

days business at 8 O'Clock yesterday
morning. On the door was posted
a notice to the effect that the bank
was in the hands Of Howell Earnest,
travelling auditor and bank examiner.
Travelling Auditor Earnest had
been here since Sunday, investieat-
ing the banks affairs, and it was
thought until last night that the in.
stitution's affairs could be straight
ened out and the bank be permitted
to continue business. However. a
thorough investigation Of the books
of the institution revealed the fact,
according to statements today of To-
cal bankers, that there was but $10,-
600 worth of good paper out Of $40
600, and $4,000 cash on hand to meet
deposits aggregating something over
100000.
1t is reported that numerous local
business firms and depositors heard
the bank was in difficulties as early
as last week and these withdrew their
deposits, although there was not a
run on the bank.
