We call attention to this in order
for one to get an idea regarding
the financial conditions. There is
no other or better way to get at the
general prosperous condition of a
community than by a study and
comparison Of the bank statement
published every three months. The
statement in this issue shows a
good condition as regarding the
financial and also a large increase.
Mr.. L.. G. Pettibone, of Dawson,
was a visitor to Washburn Mon
day returning home the same day.
This was Mr.. Pettibone's first visit
to Washburn since the building of
the railroad and he was surprised
at the rapid growth of the town.
He is interested in the town of
Howe in the eastern part of Nc
Lean county, the terminus of the
Northern Pacific. He said that
there would be a big immigration
to that section the coming spring.

of last week has broken just in
time for the immigrants who have

alton could be perfected.
The train on the Washburn

train has been late but managed
to get through. This is a good
