STRONG AS
GIBRALTAR
VALLEY BANK OF PHOENIX
OPENS ITS DOORS WITH
NEARLY ONE MILLION DOL
LARS IN CASH..

PHOENIX, Dec. 3O.-The Valley
bank, reorganized, recapitahzed and
rejuvenated, was opened for business
at 10 o'clock Thursday, Dec. 81.
During the past few days nearly
$1,OOO,00 in cash has been stored in
the vaults of the institution, and with
the passing of a resolution by the
old board of directors at a meeting
recently held the organization of the
new Valley bank is practically COM
plete.
R. e. Moore is the vice president
and cashier and will be the active
head of the bank in Phoenix. Mr.
Moore is recognized throughout Ari-
zona as one of the ablest bankers in
the southwest, whose integrity and
sound judgment have been repeatedly
demonstrated in the conduct of the
great interests under his control.
Chief among these are his Ell Paso
banking record, his services as audi
tor of the American Smelling & Re-
filming company and as manager of
the GTa Valley Bank & Trust COM
pany.
A. T. Esgate will be auditor for the
bank. Mr. Esgate also brings a wide
experience to his new position.
B. M. Goldwater of Goldwater &
Bro. is on the new directorate and
will add to it's strength and popu-
larity.
Former State Bank Examiner Gil
len is to be one of the assistant cash
iers and former Cashier Lloyd B.
Christy is retained i'm the service of
the new institution. Most Of the old
staff is retained.
State Bank Comptroller Callaghan,
whose handling of the delicate situa-
ton has evoked many encomiums ON
his faithfulness and ability, completed
an examination of the assets of the
new bank this week. He said:
"Our department has just COM
pleted an examination ofthe new
Valley bank, the condition of which is
shown to be solvent, and I have is
sued it a license to do banking
business under the laws of Arizona. %
The board of directors may consist
of six or nine members, and at
meeting to be held the third Tuesday
i'm January it is probable that the
board will be filled.
The most glorious tidings of pros
perity that the new year brings to
Phoenix is the announcement that the
Valley bank is almost ready for re-
sumption of business without loss to
the 5000 depositors OF the institution.
Not only will the bank be opened
for business, but it will be opened
with a capitalization the heaviest of
any bank in the southwest.

LAMB IS GREAT FOX CHASER
Raised With Litter Of Pups, Kentucky
Animal Develops Strange Char
acteristlc.

Cynthiana, Ky.-Former Assessor
John Ingles sold lamb to j. d. Evans
the other day because 1t insisted on
chasing foxes and wouldn't stay at
home. The lambs mother early in its
life disowned 1t and Mr. Ingles gave
1t to a dog which was raising a litter
Of hound pups. The lamb sucked at
the breast Of the dog. grew up with
the pups and waxed strong and fleet
of limb.
1t rejoiced in the sport Of the dogs
and withal became quite a gay young
thing. It ran rabbits to its hearts
content, outstripping the dogs, but not
knowing what to do with the rabbit
when caught. The lamb would butt
hogs to beat the band, and when the
dogs freed a coon it would stand at
the foot Of the tree and try to bark.
Finally 1t got to chasing foxes and
staying away from home so much Mr..
Ingles thought the safest plan was to
sell 1t.

THE LAST MESSAGE
BY n. N. EGeERT.

Gardiner had been sure that It was
Margery the moment he set eyes on
her on board the transatlantic liner.
But, not having seen her for seven
years. he did not know whether she
would recognize him.
1t is easy to play hide-and-seek on
an Atlantic steamship. During the
first four days he only caught fugitive
glimpses Of the girl; then. on the
fifth. they came face to face upon the
deck. And he saw that she knew
him.
"Margery!" he exclaimed. and stood
looking at her dumbly. She was hard

in the old days in London.
How long ago that was! The same

They sat down side by side. Tell

Margery. and, at her words. the years
fell away and they were young once
more.
1t was a frank story he told. Their
quarrel. the upheaval Of his life that
followed had brought him no good.
He had drifted upon the stream. he
had awakened to the consciousness
that he was becoming q worse man

himself together and faced life brave

to return to him. and she was going
back to America, because she felt that
her duty lay there. s
They parted with averted faces, be-
cause each knew that at q word the
other would follow-follow to the
worlds end. And the night of the fifth
day came.
Gardiner slept through a confused
dream of cannonade, and awakened to
hea: cries and stamping upon the deck
above him. Women we're screaming
in fear. He thought the ship had
struck an uncharted rock and was
sinking. He was glad this was the
end. He lay still in his berth.
The cries died away. and he heard
the splashing Of the lifeboats in the
water. Then. with a shrek. some
thing struck the vessel with shock
that made her SILVER from stern to
bow. Again and again. And now
Gardiner understood. A night attack
must have been made by a German
cruiser; she had given the liner time
to get her passengers into the boats
and was now sinking her.

NOW
WILL YUAN BECOME EMPEROR?

Since Yuan Shi Kai has de-
clared himself president for life of
the Chinese republic, with power to
nominate his successor, and further
more has made himself the head of
the Chinese state religion Of Confu-
cianism. many persons are wondering
if he will not soon proclaim himself
emperor.
While there was no one to pre-
dict that the young Yuan Shi Kali
would ever become a Son Of Heaven"
there were plenty who knew the gen.
tleman in his youth who were will

that he would make his mark in the
world. The Manchus, the Chinese and
the foreigners in China all labeled
him "a coming man."
