BANK AT JEFFERsON CLOSES

JEFFERSON, July 2o--The City
Bank of jefferson suspended business
yesterday.
The cause of the failure Of this old
and respected financial institution is
inability to turn it's assets into money
with which to pay the checks Of its
depositors. The bank has notes aggre.
eating more than 100000, but too large
proportion of these notes are over
due, and their makers can not come
forward with the money. The deposit
ors' money is in these notes., and with
the present shortage Of freight cars md
inability to ship grain and livestock,
the depositors have been gradually us
ing their money until the point came
where the bank could pay no more
checks.
M. q. McDufIie. president and owner
of the bank made an assignment for
the benefit of the creditors of the bank,
of all his real and personal property.
which includes his bank buildings, his
farms and other property. Attorney 5.
j. Sayers will be named as assignee.
and the closing out of the institutions
affairs will be under his direction.
4 Many Of the notes Of the bank that
can not be collected right now to pro-
vide cash for depositors. viii be collect
iblc in time, and the prospects are that
the actual loss to depositors, il any,
win not be very great The worst fea-
.fure of the matter Is Tt1lat IT ties lip their
money for the present, when money Is
scarce and hard to get
This is the first bank failure in the
history Of Jefferson. The cause was
lack of promptness in making cotlec-
tions, and in letting notes run too long,
until in many cases they became worth
less, together with doubtful Judgment
in the extending Of credit.

On n recent Sunday special train
of four coaches and baggage car car.
|ried several hundred baseball fans from
Estherville to Buffalo Center to wit
ness a strenuous ball game between
the two teams. Interest ran high and
lat the finish the score stood ! to 0 in
favor of Buffalo Center. Interest in
the above incident centers in the state
ment of u prominent citizen of Buffalo
Center to the effect that sports in that
town won over $1,000 in cold cash from
Estherville rooters. Betting was some
thing fierce," said the man. This and
and similar occurrences have prompted
an organized effort on the part OF the
friends of baseball who are anxious to
keep the game clean to have a specific
law; passed at the next session of the
legislature making 1t a criminal offense
to bet on a ball game. The claim is
matlc that present laws against gamb-
ling are too general, but with law
naming ball games specifically present
can be suppressed.

PART OF THE OMELET

When the government took over the
railroads on Jan. /, 1918. they owned
about 2.2GD.000 freight cars. OF that
number ST. per cent were reported in
need of repair and unfit for service. 1t
had been the custom of the roads to
purchase 100000 new cars each year
to take the place of those used up in
the service. but during all the two years
and two months of federal control the
government did not exceed that num-
ber of additions tothe rolling stock. Of
ficials of the roads declare that today
there are unfit for use and actually out
of service $4,000 cars more than when
federal control began, and thousands
OF other cars are kept running which
ought to be sent to the shops. These
are Il few of the. disheartening handi-
caps the road owners had to face when
they received thei. properties back
from the government. 1t is fact, how
ever, that in spite of adverse circum-
stances, the roads are moving more
freight under private management this
year than they did under federal opera
tion at the same time last year. Given
time to overcome the Obstacles to eff
cient management that they inherited
from the era of government control,
the roads will give the people a trans
portation standard that could never
have been approached had federal OIL
cials continued to misdirect their af-N
fairs. @

Big MORTGAGE

lures in One Hundred and Sew

A mortgage filed in the Office Of w.
A. Cramer a few weeks ago has created
considerable interest among officials of
the court house. 1t. without doubt,
amounts to the largest sum OF any
document ever recorded in Crawford
county. The mortgage WAS given by

as its trustees, and the principal

Some pimilar railroad mortgages have

but none which have reached the pro-
copy Of which covers 10 printed pages,
Is a very interesting work. 1t is dated
May l.. 1890, and 1t natures in lit
years. the date of maturity being May
i, 2037. AS the mortgage is over the
entire right OF way Of the Northwestern
road, it Is interesting to note the de-
scription found in these pages of this
immense railway system. Each main
and branch line is minutely described
and the total mileage including both
main and branch lines amounts to
S32S.S6 miles, or a distance OF nearly
twice across the United States. Besides
this their mileage in switch tracks
amounts to aomething over three thous-
and miles,

which would mean something like
$4,000 for the entire state. Calculating
the revenue from this mortgage at the

which only goes to show that there are
a good many items to be considered. in
