Interest Will Be Paid on Deposits
New Institution to Be Located
in Stencil Building.

Walla Walla's new bank, which Is
to be opened by the Carr Invest nen'
and Trust Company Of Chicago in the
Stencil building at Third and Mair
streets, will be ready for business Jan
uary 1. Advices to that effect have
been forwarded to Walla Walla
business man who is in close touch
with President Carr.
The new bank will be capitalized al
$500, 900, and will conduct general
banking and trust business. 1t Is the
intention to pay interest on deposits
The exact rate of interest has not
fully been decided, but will probably
be as high as Spokane banks pay, be-
tween and 4 per cent per annum.
This will be a new departure In
Walla Walla banking circles, as local
banks have refused to pay interest on
deposits in recent years, and as a re-
suit considerable local capital has
found it's way into Spokane banks,
where interest is paid. The defunct
Walla Walla Savings bank offered to
pay per cent interest, but this was
thought excessive by conservative
banking men and proved so.

horse he was riding falling into ditch
near Pages home at Nelson, six miles
from the city.
Last evening Mr.. Page went over to see
a colored man about some work and
about an hour after he left home colored
