most striking and pleasing feature of

was in New York when the National
Park bank was being fitted up with
the Campan Melange marble. He was
so struck with its beauty and rich

his bank ernamented with it. 1t is
understood that these are the only two
banks in america so fitted up.

RAPID GROWTH
OF LOCAL BANK
Salt Lake Institution Greatly En-
lar ed and Bedutlfied.
MARBLE BROUGHT FROM GREECE
Savings Department Will Be Opened
February I.

Citizens of Salt Lake have watched
with increasing interest the extensive
improvements going on a the Ma
tionaI Bank OF the Republic. and now
that they have some idea of what the
bank viii look like when completed.
on the inside at least, they are en-
thusiast,c in their praise of the gem
eral plan. The statement is confident
" mace that this viii be one of the
handsomest banks between St Louis
and san Francisco. It speaks vol
umes for the growing Importance of
Salt Lake as a financial center in the
west.
When. some time ago. the National
Bank of the Republic monopollZed the
entire front Of the White House on
Salt Lake. the move was taken as evil
dence that the business of the insti-
tuition had grown rapidly TO Justify
such expansion. The elaborate inte-
rior that has been fitted up viii en-
phasize this idea. and still further
emphasis will be furnished by the
rich and elaborate characterization of
the exterior.
The Growth of the Bank.
Since it was organized i'm 1890. fif-
teen years ago. the National Bank of
the Republic has grown rapidly in the
confidence and favor of the public
The organizers were: Frank Knox. the
present president, the late George A
Lowe, G.. 5. Holmes and other prom
inent Salt Lake men. The leading
spirit of the institution from the be-
ginning has been Mr.. Knox The
growth of the bank in the past FIVE
years has been particularly marked:
II has been made a government depos-
itory; its president has been made dis
bursting agent of the money axDpndad
on the public building, and TOW it is
asserted that its deposits are greater
than those of any other national bank
between Denver and the coast.
The rapidly increasing business of
the bank made il necessary to secure
more commodious quarters, and these
have been acquired by more than
doubling the floor space and by in
stalling banking outfit perfec in
every detail.

the grateful Norwegians have decided
that his services will be worth $2O0,W0
q year to them. If history speaks the
truth, this is the first time for more than
five hundred years that the Norwegians
have had a real king all to themselves
King Carl is related by blood or marriage
to almost all the reigning families of Eu-
rope, so tina his throne would seem to be
well supported. 1t remains to be seen
whether enough national initiative is left
in the newly formed kingdom to enable
the people to take advantage Of the bless
ings of independence and a king OF their
own. 1t scenes a pity that the Norweg-
ians didn't see fit to set up in business
as a republic While they had the chance
