The Grim Reaper

Again we have been called to part with one of our dear friends. Sund ay afternoon at o'clock Mrs. Elizabeth J. Patterson, beloved wife of John T. Patterson, died at the family residence in this city, where she has resided for so many years.
 Mrs. Patterson had been in i'll health for the past IS months and about one year ago she spent the winter at Hot Springs, New Mexico hoping that those celebrated waters would restore her health. After spending the winter there she returned home ap parently improved in health, but after a short time her old trouble returned and upon advice of our local doctors she was taken to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she was operated upon and it was found that she was suffering with cancer of the liver
 The operation was successfully per formed and Mrs. Patterson returned home and great hopes were entertained for her complete recovery up until a few weeks ago when she began to feel poorly again and steadily grew worse and suffered intensely until death came to her relief
 Mrs. Patterson was born at Grass Valley, Utah on the 18th day of October, 1860 and would have been 62 years of age had she lived until next October. She leaves husband and several broth CTS and sisters, among them are P. P. Rencher, Jay Rencher of Edgar, Joe Rencher of Snowflake, Bp. Wm. D. Rencher of St. Johns and Lee Rencher and one living sister, Miss Tanna Bench CT, who also resides at Edgar.

Turning Point Comes ON
Failure of Great Northern
To Declare Dividend:
Market Activity Is Broad

Speculative cross currents gave n
tone Of irregularity to fluctuations in
stock prices. In the morning the up
ward surge of the previous day con-
tinued. and dividend-payi rails were
once more conspicuous in the upturn.
turning point in the market came
before I o'clock. when the directors OF
the Great Northern adjourned without
announcing any action regarding the
next quarterly dividend. The market
worth of Great Northern preferred
quickly dropped from so to 76is Sub
sequently the directors issued state
ment which showed that the first in
ference that the dividend had been
passed was incorrect. They announced
that hereafter the dividend would be
on a semi annual, instead of quarterly,
basis and that they hoped it would be
possible to continue the T per cent
rate The decision gives the directors
at least three months more to deliber-
ate and to wait for favorable develop

news was digested. there was a partial
recovery in both stocks. but for the
remainder OF the session profit taking

forces on the price movement than
buying, and quotations receded. Both
railroad and industrial shares on the
average closed fractonally lower for
the day.
The growth of public interest in the

Call funds were available at per

continued evidence of credit easement,
which was reflected in the stock mar
ket because of technical conditions,
7timulated the rise of bond prices.

which will prevail.
There was further recovery in ster-

Banking Relations With Germany

Banking relations with Germany,
which were renewed following the lift
ing Of governmental bans, have not yet
been built up on the pre-war scale.
This was emphasized yesterday by ap-
pearance of additional evidence that
credit inquiries from Germany arc not
in all cases meeting with favorable
action. Most of the larger commercial
and foreign trade banks are proceeding
cautiously in their dealings with Ger
man institutions and houses, and the
German bank which sends out a re-
quest for accommodations to its CORE
spondents here has by no means the
former degree Of assurance that it will
get what it seeks. Eventually it is ex-
pected that financial communications
between the two countries will be re-
stored to their old footing, but the de-
velopment, as indicated so far. is likely
to be slow and dependent upon the
clearing up of financial and economic
problems now confronting Germany.

the fact that the loadings for the
