"In June, 1904, the Citizens bank,
one of Meridian's strongest and most
popular financial institutions, deter
! mined to reliquish its charter as a
state bank, and increasing its capital
from 100000 to $l5O,00O became a
national bank. With this change, W..
G. Simpson became identified with
the new organization, as cashier; COM
ing hither from Kentucky to assume
that place, always difficult one, and,
peculiarly so for stranger. But the
mans frank simplicity of character,
directness of speech and action, joined
with courtesy of demeanor and a gen.
ial temper, quickly attracted people;
and it was not very long before we
one of us. He easily took his place
as a social and business unit in the
community, and that place constantly
grew larger to fit the dimensions of
the character that filled it. Those
who came in contact with him in any
relation-social or business-liked
him, trusted and respected him, and
that made easier the difficult way of
the cashier.
These qualities of the man entered
into his character and work as bank
er to the great profit and advantage
Of the institution that he served. The
Citizens National, always strong and
popular, began to grow stronger and
more popular, as the new cashier be-
came more widely known; he had the
advantage OF a congenial element in
which the best in him could be de-
veloped, because all of the older Off
GERS of the Citizens Bank enjoyed a
universal confidence and esteem, and
they lent loyal support and co-opera-
ton in every process of advancing the
banks prosperity. The bank has
prosered wonderfully since MI. }
Simpson became connected with it;
but he would be the last to claim any
exclusive credit for this accomplish
ulent. 1t has been due to the spirit
of loyalty and cooperation that has
animated the whole organization, sup
plemented by ability in every depart
ment Still, it is gratifying for the
cashiers friends to reflect that he
helped and did not hinder; and this
splendid growth was accomplished |
during his incumbency of that respon-
sible Office.
when Mr.. Simpson became con-
nected with the bank, June 2, 1904,
the capital was $l5O,0OO; undivided
profits, $4,000. Since that date, $780,
500 has been paid in divendends to
stockholders, 100000 of surplus has
been accumulated, while there re-
mains $4,000 of undivided profits.
Eight years ago the market price of
the stock was $12250 per share; to-
lay it is $l85.OO.
That is remarkable record of &C
and the cashiers iden-
ifcation with it is naturally crafty
ng to him and his friends.
"Mr. Simpsons future plans are not
S yet definitely determined; it is
ighly probable that he will remain in
1eridian, as everybody who values
God citizenship sincerely hopes that
e will"
Caldwell will develope wonderfully
| the next decade. Surrounded by :
lie largest irrigated section in the
'orld, the power center of the state, .
nd with ample transportation facili-
es, the city is in a position to offer
'ractions to men like Mr.. Simp son.
.lready interested financially to quite
n extent, it is hoped he may throw
is hat in the ring-and stay to watch

ther. In the course of time Alesia is forced to assume the role of the me chanical doll in order to prevent her fathers discovery of the mishap which has ruined his masterpiece. Eva is a living, breathing Alesia. One could not imagine a more perfect Alesia. Eva is also a prima donna of note and attainment She has travelled to every English-speaking centre and she can sing and act in a manenr which has many times been called marvellous. Eva is not the only marvellous one in the Pollard ranks, Nellie McNamara pos sesses a cOntralto voice which brings tears from ones eyes or spreads tingles of joy broadcast among those who come within it's range. Nellie appears as Father Maxine in "The Toy Max er." One of her solos is ''The Rosary and it is one of the most delightful features of the opera. Pattie Hill is also one who charms with her mag nificent voice which possesses all the sweetness and power to make her a little wonder. Queenie Williams is the comedienne, she is clever and tal- ented far beyond her years. Willie Bevan, Leslie Donaghey, Willie Pol lard and a score others will all give fine renditions of difficult roles when the Pollards come to the Orpheum. Seats on sale at box office

 TOMORROW NIGHT

The Pollard Juvenile Opera com pany will arrive in Juneau on the Mar iposa at seven o'clock tonight and open the season here with The Toy Maker" in the Orpheum theatre tomorrow night. Some twenty-eight song and ballet numbers enliven and beautify the Pollard Juvenile Opera company production of The Toy Maker"
 The Toy Maker" was made into English from the Audrians famous French opera comique. La Poupee. which is known the world around as one of the most tuneful and delightful of all the light operas of the present day. Unique in it's conception The Toy Maker" tells a straightforward story and revolves around a real plot and is therefore a comic opera with a reason for existence besides a simple throwing together of bunch of spe- cialties and a tune or two.
 Teddy McNamara is the leading CO., median of the Pollard company's pro- duction. He sings the role of Hilari- ous and is in all respects true to the name. Hilarious in the opera is a jolly sort of a fellow who takes him self very seriously and much to the de-

The motormen and conductors of the

tinue to operate their vehicles even If

The danger of railway strike is not
yet over. The Liverpool strikers have

traffic which. under the law. the COM
panies must accept, but they made their
acceptance conditional upon the acqules-
cence of the men in Birmingham and

Birmingham labor leaders are still at
tempting to force general strike. They
met the committee Of the national union
today and the result of the decisions
reached will be announced tomorrow The
door has been opened for a climb down

ment that goods which the strikers had
refused to handle were both union made
and handled in Dublin.
The strike has extended to Sheffield
Creweberry and other places.
Dublin was quiet tonight. but the num-
Der of strikers there has increased The
police adopted unusual measures to ham
die the daily parade Of strikers which
the strike leaders had planned for to-
night instead of today a heavy rain

DR.. SUN IS BELIEVED
TO Be IN VANCOUVER
Former Provisional Presi-
dent of China Recognized
by Adherents

Victoria, B. c.. September 19.-Traveling
incognito as Wong Kwok Yin, DR.. Sun
Vat Sen, former provisional President of
the Chinese republic. and leader in the
recent revolt against President Yuan shi
Kai, is said to be in Vancouver He was
recognized by compatriots in spite of the
fact that his apr earance had been al
tered by shaving off his moustache He
is said to be en- route to England
Ii is said that Dr. Sun Vat Sen landed
in Victoria from Japan on the last trir
of the Japanese liner Chicago. He re-
mained IN Victoria for some DAYS witt,
friends and later attempted to enter the
United states disguised as japanese
student. but was refused admittance
The impression here is that DR.. Sun
does not feel secure in disclosing his iden-
tIty among his fellow countrymen in
British Columbia. who are nearly all
supporters of President Yuan.
