BIG CHECKS HANDLED.

The following item we clip from

Co.. proprietors, the Company be-
ing Hon. w. g. Brown. Of King
wood, and Mr.. White. an old Pres
tonmn being the manager:
Although we have no clearing
house reports, the amount of money
exchanged in the regular routine of
business in New Whatcom indicates
that we might hold respectable
place in the ranks with far larger
cities who do maintain such rec
ords. During the present week
the Bank OF Wha,com handled
nine different checks aggregating
$500, 900. One of these checks
represented $75 coo, another $40, :
600. another $4,000, two were for
$40, 900 each and four for $4,000
each. To say that there is not
plenty of cash capital in Whatcom
county is to admit ignorance of the
big cash Transactions regularly car
ried on by the Bank of Whatcom
and others.
