close, became known today when Paul
Morton, president OF the society, made

One OF the loans WAS on the prop
erty of the Amity Land and Irrigation

to July LIST OF this year being $2.s09,-

collateral which proved worthless
These transactions occurred in what
Mr.. Morton refers to as the Turner

sets forth, was carried in 1894 by the
Western National Bank. which was
controlled by the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society.
