The cut was not bad but an artery was severed and cords were tightly drawn over his foot and on the calf of his leg. These were allowed to remain for a long time and were not removed in fact until Dr. Griffith arrived at Diamond several days after. The doctor found the foot in a very bad condition and had Hart brought to Burns. It was feared at first the foot would have to be amputated, but now the physi cians believe it can be saved.

In an article appearing last issue regarding tho purchase of the flour mill by local business men, it appeared as though tho Times-Herald was reflecting upon the business methods" of Joe Sturtovant, who has long con ducted the business. This was not the intention and wo hasten to make amends. The article was written hurriedly just be foro going to press and did not express all it intended. One of the gentlemen who was mtcrest- cu in inu purcnase ouinncu a policy for the future in Hint the mill, water power and land would bo used to enlarge other enter prises in connection with the mill. Tho price to be paid for wheat was not higher than that paid by Mr. Sturtovant with the exception of one season when it was not known ny local merchants thnt there would bo much wheat nnd they had ordered a large quantity of flour from outside points nnd as Mr. Sturtevant would havo to hold the wheat over a year, besides borrow mon ey to pay for it. ho offered li cents per pound. Last season he paid 2 cents for wheat. Mr. Sturtovant took hold of the mill when it was a hard battle to make it go and has dono much to encourage the raising of wheat and keeping a vast amount of money at home that had former ly gone out for that product. Tho Times-Herald wishes to give Mr. Sturtovant full credit for what he has done in this respect and to assuro Ins friends Unit no reflection was intended in the former article.

Standing A No bank in tho world can moro than a blacksmith can rihoo all of his customers' horses at one lime. A bank's customers do not require their money at tho same time, not oven tho same week or month; neither do tho blacksmith' customers want their horses shod on tho same day. Tho bank loans out c part of its deposits ns well as tho capital stock. Tho demands of business in banking history prove that 25 per cent of deposits is a safe amount to keep on hand. If bnnks could not loan out a part of their deposits, thero would be no banks. Tho men who own tho band stock would loan the money themselves and save the expense of officers, salary rent, taxes, books, etc. Then thero would bo no convenient place for tho people to deposit their money. This bank keeps on hand at all times cash to tho amount of 50 per cent of its deposits; in addition, 50 per cent of our deposits is available on short notice in tho form of demand notes and cash Lin other banks. Consider tho safeness of doing business with a bank that is managed strictly on tho lines of safe banking. The Harney County National Bank OF BURNS, OREGON. YOUR HOME INSTITUTION STATE DEPOSITARY.
