THE. Os.D YEAR AND THE
 NEW

Most of us are inclined to think of New Years Day as an institution of great antiquity, but as associated with its pres ent date. it is historically an in- fant. Amonr the ancient Pers- ians, Egyptians and Phoenic- ians the new year began at the autumnal equinox, which we know z: September 21; the Greeks celebrated at the wint- CT solstice (June 21).
 The December date was good enough for the Romans until Julius Caesar, after having di- vided Gaul into three parts to the exasperation of untold generations of young Latin ists- divided the years in a new place, January ! to wit. But the early Christians naturally summed the pagan festival, and recognized the date only in it's relation to the Nativity.
 Medieval Christendom ob- served March 25 as the begin- ming of the new year, and this custom continued for centu- ries. It was not until 1882, with the formulation of the Gregor- ian calendar, that the Julian selection of January 1 was re- vived. But it took nearly 200 years for the innovation to be- come adopted in England, whence it was transplanted to America. Hence it is not much older than this republic.
 Yet, Turnout the ages, and de- spite the vicissitudes of the cal endar, the inspiration has been the same the inextinguishable impulse of mankind to believe that tomorrow will be better than today, to shake off mem- ories of the mistakes and dis appointments of the old year and greet the new with cheer full salutations and high hopes.
 Tn what mood do we take leave of 1927 and welcome it's successor? Not with complac.

THE BANKS SERVICE

Bankers and business men are beginning to realize that the general public is in need of a better understanding of the functions of banking in relat- ion to the interests of the aver age individual. The public cer- tainly should be made to real ize that banking is just as much a part of it's daily needs as are grocery and dry goods stores.
 The functions and purposes, and i'll many cases the practices of banks and financial institut- ions often are misunderstood or not accurately comprehend ed, through a lack of know ledge of the reason for their existence, and a lack of under standing of the part they play in the life of the community.
 The great extension of the credit system and the payment of bills by checks and drafts, as we'll as the financing of large business and other enter prises, has given the banking business a new meaning, even to the large number of persons who do not make use of banks for their own personal conven- fence and the safety of their money.

ency, perhaps, but certainly not with despair. The eventful year now closing saw substant- ial progress from civilizations endeavors to regain peace and stability; that which opens brings promise of continued advancement.
 Even in their improved state, the peoples of many countries still face a bitter struggle for existence; they must bear with out respite crushing burdens of taxation, must labor under the lash of necessity to repair the destruction of war, must toll painfully up steep paths to regain the means of self support. For this nation, the outlook for the new year is by contrast most kind and filled with glowing promise. In nat ural wealth, in economic pro- ductiveness, in freedom from conflict, in all the potentiali- ties of material prosperity, the United States is favored above all other regions of the earth. Locally, the outlook for the new year is one of great prom ise. The closing year witnessed probably the greatest prog ress in mining development in the camps history. More ore was mined and more advanced prospecting was done than ev- CT before, with results that leave no further doubt that the district will soon blossom out as one of the worlds most pro- life producers of mineral wealth. Of equal importance is the entrance of a number of the worlds greatest mining concerns and their undeniable interest in the districts miner 
 al possibilities. While the scope of their contemplations is on ly partially apparent as yet, their operations during the closing year were sufficient to indicate a much wider range of operations during 1928, The advent of these big organ izations also possesses another
 highly promising aspect, as il
 means that others will follow suit and bring to the district
