The state banking law requires a reserve of 20 per cent of all immedi- ate liabilities and the First State bank shows a reserve of over 47 per cent, more than twice the amount of funds on hand required by law. In view of the recent financial dis- turbance of the country this showing is especially gratifying and shows now well found is the faith of the public in this growing and popular institution. The growth of the institution is shown by the fact that although the country has just passed thrugh a so called financial panic, its total de- posits show an increase from $58,303. 69, repcrted at the last official call, May 20, 1907, to $80,085. s5 on Decem- ber 3rd. : District Court.

Li 5 ye oay AND STONE ACT » Washington dispatches report: that the usual bill to repeal the fimber and stone act has been introduced, and the chances-are growing stronger every session that it will be passed. In all probability it will go through at this session or the next, and there- after the poor man’s chance to make a little money out of the nation’s | forests will disappear, and the capi- talist will get it all. For though the sentiment of the administration and of congress is against the timber and stone act, it is ayery much libeiled Jaw. It is charged with evils that are due not to the law itself, but to the lax en- forcement of it that has prevailed in the past, though it does not prevail today. Under the timber and stone act a man or woman with small capital can acquire government timber of small cost, and make a profit by either selling the timber to a lumber- ing concernor by putting ina little more capital and doing the logging themselves. It is true that the law bas been abused, and the great lumbering companies used to yet timber lands fraudulently by hiring men to takeup timber and stone claims, but that is a thing of the past. Rigid enforcement of the law has stopped it, and if such rigid en- forcement of law had always pre- vailed, there never would have been | apy land frauds. When the timber aud stone act is repealed, the great lumber barons will be the only ones who can acquire timber or timber lands, and as they are protected-by a tariff duty and are banded together, they can charge the consumers whatever they please, and thus make a profit on whatever prices the government. is able to get. The repeal of the timber and stone act is coming, but it isa mistake.— Duluth Evening Herald: THE SMALL BOY AND THE BIG GUN Quite likely many parents are not aware of the fact that a lawof the state makes it a misdemeanor to allow a boy 14 years or under to carry firearms, whether for target practice or hunting, unless accompanied by his parents or gardian. This law is the outcome of many frightful accidents, caused solely by the pernicious custom of allowing young boys to carry and use firearms. The penalty imposed upon a parent for allowing a boy to carry firearms is quite severe, a fine of not more thar $100 being imposed, or a: corres- ponding term in the county jail. In extreme cases the judges may sen- tence a parent to a term in jail anda fine of $100 in addition. The county attorneys iu many sections of the State are making especial efforts to strictly enfore the law. We noticed the other day that the prosecuting attorney of Duluth is vigorously en- forcing the law, and announces that he is going to keep it up. | UP TO GOLE TO “MAKE GOOD.” The state drainage league is not doing the work that it ought to do. The issue of drainage is scarcely heard of. No candidate for the leg- islature is pledged to drainage ex- cept in a loose sort of a way and those sections of the state where pledges are most needed there are none at all. There is time yet before election for the league to put every legislative candidate upon record and it ought to be done. What have we got a drainage league for?—Crookston Times. When J. S. Gole of Grand Rapids was elected secretary of the State Drainage League, he received the office principally from the fact that his friends asserted that there would be “something doing, now that Gole was elected.” However, beyond a few well-written newspaper articles on drainage. the writer is not cogni- zant of much action on the ‘part. of the present drainage officials.— Bemidji Pioneer. Roecker Bros., the tailors, have just received a. large consignment of the ‘latest styles of woolens, which they are prepared:to. make up in the latest and best styles.
