ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
f
Resolutions
Resolved—
1st. With the beginning of the New
Year I will keep a bank account to assist
me in saving money against misfortune
and old age.
2nd. I will deposit all monies received
and pay out same by check, thus keeping
a record of all my business transactions,
and avoid paying the same bill twice, as
a paid check is the best kind of receipt.
3rd. I will choose a bank that is con-
ducted on business lines, whose officers
are courteous and accommodating, where
everyone gets the "square deal."
4th. I will do my banking business at

Orient Branch Line.
San Angefo, Dec. 19.—Closing
one of the greatest fights for a
railroad in the history of west
Texas, Sonora, county seat of
Sutton county, signed a final con-
tract Friday with W, W. Colpitts,
chief engineer of the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient Railway Com-
pany, binding the road to operate
trains into that town in less than
two years. The road cost Sonora,
a town of hardly 1,500 inhabit-
ants, $70,000, which was raised
in sixty days. Sonora is located
seventy-five miles south of San
Angelo, on the Del Rio extension
of the Orient.
W. E. Mogan and family, of
Mulvane, Kansas, are residents
of this part of the county, having
bought the J. A. Leslie farm one
mile south of Sentinel, as has
been mentioned. He has been
taking the Leader for quite a
while, but we never met him till
a few weeks back. He and fami

Nervous Headaches.
"Nervous headaches occur in
hysterical or neurasthensic in
dividuals and those suffering from
overwork or worry," says Dr,
Jean Williams in the Woman's
Home Companion. "In this class
might also be mentioned head-
aches due to eye-strain. The er-
ror of vision may be so slight that
the patient is not conscious of
any impairment of her sight, but
the constant effort to counteract
it is sapping her nervous energy.
When frequent headaches occur,
it is important to have the vision
carefully tested by a competent
eye specialist. No further search
for a cause may be necessary.
"Disease of the ear; a deviated
septum in the nose; adenoids; en-
larged tonsils, and other abnor-
malities of the nose and throat are
often responsible for persistent
headaches that resist treatment
In all cases these possible con-
ditions must be considered and,
one by one, eliminated. Persist-

Chihuahua, Dec. 23. — A special
representative of the Associated
Press who has been with the in-
surrectos for two weeks returned
today by mule team. HiB judg-
ment of the situation in this state
may be summarized in the state-
ment that Gen. Nevarro has been
fought back from the defensive,
but that the reinforcements now
at hand will crush the rebellion
within a month or two. In this
connection it was stated today
that federal troops are now sta-
tioned as follows:
Six hundred under Gen. Navar-
ro at Pedernales and vicinity,
west of Mai Paso; nearly 700 at
San Antonio, made up of about
340 who were uninjured in the
Mai Paso ambuscade, and about
340 reinforcements and .1,300
who arrived here last night and
today. The latter include a bat-
tery of artillery made up of two
light mortars for firing hills, two
Hotchkiss guns and two rapid
fire guns.
Twenty-two passenger coaches
are now on the tracks of the
Mexico Northwestern Railroad to
forward reinforcements. Today
was spent in loading food on the
cars and in making other prepa-
rations for the campaign.
These troops will go first to
San Antonio, making a new force
of 2,000, led by the best officers
in Mexico. It is their program
to take Mai Paso, the present
rebel stronghold. This once tak-
en, a junction will be formed
with Navarro and the troops
which have come overland from
Sonora.
All this will entail serious
fighting, but there is no foreign-
er here now, viewing affairs im-
partially, who pretends a belief
that the federals will not triumph
eventually.
The insurrectos lost the one
chance of creating a nation-wide
revolt when they failed to crush
Navarro at Cerro Prieto. At
that time they did not have
their forces concentrated and Na-
varro is now strictly on the de-
fense at Pedernales. While he
is under orders not to take the
offensive, he is in a defensive po-
sition which the insurrectos can-
not attack without disaster. His
job is lo sit still and allow the
reinforcements, now numbering
treble his own force, to continue
the campaign.
Navarro's original force was,
it has now been shown, scarcely
more than a police, which a mis-
guided government considered
sufficient. Diaz is now sending
an army.
The Associated Press corres-
pondent brings word tnat in the
fighting around Pernenales and
the west entrance of Mai Paso
the insurrectos were much infe-
rior in numbers, but in Mai Paso
they were superior in position.
It will be two weeks ago Sun
day that Navarro met the insur-
rectos at Cerro Prieto and fought

Chicago, 111., Dec. 24.-The
wage dispute between the Broth-
erhood of Locomotive Engineers
and sixty-one railroads, west,
north and south of Chicago was
settled here today. There will be
no strike. Instead, the engineers
get an average increase in wages
of 10 1-3 per cent of their 1910
wage scale, giving them an
average of approximately $192
for each of the 33,000 men in-
volved for each subsequent year.
Specifically, the agreement pro-
vides for a raise of 40 cents a day
for all engineers with a differ-
ential in addition of 25 cents for
215,000-pound engines, an added
differential of 75 cents a day for
the smaller mallet engines and a
differential of $1 a day for the
heavier mallets.
In a letter to United States La-
bor Commissioner Charles P.
Neill, who, as mediator under the
Erdman act, brougftt the settle-
ment out of what seemed a sure
disagreement, Grand Chief En-
gineer Warren S. Stone of the
Brotherhood said the reason for
accepting the terms offered was
the suffering and loss which
would attend a general Western
strike.
Numerous specific working con-
ditions are improved by the agree-
ment signed late today and en-
gineers are given control of elec
trie and gasoline motor cars used
locomotives, with an increase of
50 cents a day in present wages.
Hostlers under the protection of
the engineers get air increase of
25 cents a day. The new rate is
effective with the signature of
the agreement today.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief
engineer, wrote Mediator Neill
in part as follows:
'After thoroughly considering
the proposal and the question in
its entirety we are of the opinion
that the offer will not yield the
engineers compensation com-
mensurate with the service per-
formed and it is with extreme
reluctanse we inform you it will
be accepted.
"In this connection we are
prompted to accept the proposi-
tion through the influence of
yourself and a desire on our part
to avert a calamity that would
bring suffering and loss on a
large number of people who are
not parties to the controversy
Asked for an interview on the
settlement, Mr. Stone replied:
"My whole statement can be
found in the letter. We had in
mind the suffering it would en
tail if we struck and we were not
so selfish to use it as a means to
a personal gain. We thought of
the country and settled. That's
all."
The railroads had agreed to a
raise approximately of 9i per cent
Banking Service
Banks are becoming more and more the custo-
dians of the funds of the people, of both large and
small means. This is due to a wider appreciation
of the value of banking service as its usefulness is
extended and its methods become better known. In
the case of
THE SENTINEL

the best service is assured. Its officers aim in every
way to protect the interests of its patrons, making
use of every means of precaution. It's up-to-date
system of accuracy, promptness and the same care-
ful attention to large or small depositors. It is a
safe bank. It is the bank for all the people—rich
and poor, men, women and children. If you have

into the controversy.
When today's conference was
begun Mr. Neill announced that
his efforts were about concluded
and that unless the conferees
reached a settlement today there
was little use for him to remain
in Chicago. Visions of arbitra-
tion under the Erdman act on
the one hand and of a long, de-
structive strike on the other
brought the opponents together
within an hour after the confer-
ence begun. Attorneys and ste-
nographers at once began to
draw up the agreement between
the railroads and the engineers
based on the pledges at the con
ference. Actual signature to
this agreement was not expected
before late in the afternoon or
tonight.
The specific increases in the
wages of the engineers in money
is as follows:
On passenger and suburban
service forty cents a day.
Forty cents a day on through
freight except on engines weigh-
ing 215,000 pounds on the drivers
on which there is a deferential
of 25 cents a day; also on engines
of the Mallet type an additional
differential of from 75 cents to
$1.00.
On pushers, helpers, wreckers,
work trains, snow plows and mix-
ed trains 40 cents a day.
In all yards 50 cents a day
All transfer service 50 cents a
day.
(The same increase is to apply
to branch as to main lines.)
Hostler service where the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers make the agreement 25
cents a day.
In addition the engineers are
to have control of gasoline, elec-
tric or other motor cars which
are taking the place of locomo-
tives, on which the increase is
also 40 cents a day.
Opportunity's Mistake.
"This is the opportunity of a
lifetime, madam," declared the
smoothed-tongued canvasser as
he stood at the door.
Seems to me I've heard that
before," thought the housewife.
Opportunity knocks at every
one's door—but only once," con-
tinued the caller.
' "That's where you're mistaken,
young feller," snapped the wo-
man as she reached behind her.
Opportunity has knocked at my
door eight times this week so far.
I'm out four dollars and ten cents
an nothin' to show fer it. Jest
in case he should knock again I
been savin' this kettle of hot
suds—"
But Opportunity departed hur-
riedly.—Woman's Home Com-

Preston Singletary drops a dol-
lar in the Leader strong box.
Preston has been so busy boring
wells that he couldn't drive his
rural mail wagon or play in the
band, but he's perhaps going to
devote more time to pleasure and
his job now and let government
mint, or gold mine, rest during
the cold weather. We believe
he'd bore a well right down
through the pith of the north
pole, if Cook or Peary will show
him right where to start the
auger.
J. C. Strickland came in the
Leader office Saturday and went
out a subscriber. He has recent-
ly finished some buildings in Bes-
sie and Custer City. Some of the
best concrete work in this town
was done by Mr. Strickland. His
daughter, Miss Alois, is a teacher
here in the public school. Mrs.
Strickland is in Missouri for the
benefit of her health and Mr.
Strickland is here temporarily,
living with his daughter.
S. J. Combs, we're glad to say, is
now a citizen, with his family, of
Sentinel. He started right by
subscribing for the Leader.
Dick Berry, of Grandfield, Ok-
lahoma, has been here during the
holidays.
