FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

The First National Bank Of Black
foot, Idaho, was organized early in the
month of October. 1904, and with the
publication Of the comptroller's call,
Just made. it shows at the end Of It's
first two years Of life a total IN assets
amounting to over 100000
1t Is telling the plain truth when the
statement Is made that this progressive
financial institution has the high esteem
and full confidence OF the entire COM
munity IN and out Of the great Snake
river valley It's splendid growth
shows that 1t is receiving the substan-
tial support Of the entire people of
Blackfoot and vicinity.
The secretary Of the treasury has
made this institution a United States
depository not of the ordinary special
kind, but the one where all government
officials who handle government funds,
may transact all their business.
One feature which greatly appeals to
Blackfoot and vicinity residents is that
from It's opening the First National
bank has been under the same manage
ment. Patrons and the public in gem
eral find at this bank every facility for
banking I'm every sense OF the word.
The institution Occur one of the
modern buildings Of Blackfoot, and
It's officers are men who are deeply in
terested In the further development Of
the town Square and liberal treat
meut OF its patrons is best vouched FOR
by the splendid showing made in its
statements issued since organization,
which show marked continuous growth
each time.
Special facilities are provided by the
First National bank for farmers in the
vicinity Of Blackfoot for transacting
business. This Is a feature which APP
peals to all and gains for the bank

otherwise lose No banking iustitu-

HAMMOCK NATIONAL BANK.

No bank in Pocatello has had more
prosperous career than the Bannock
National. The institution was organ
lied in July 1902, with a paid up capital
of $4,000 and Its present surplus and
undivided profits are about $4,000. The
officers and directors follow;
Lyman Fargo president: George II
Olmstead, vice president; George f..
Ford, cashier; Fred A. Ball. assistant
cashier; directors, w. S. Mccormick,
d. w. Church and William Il, Kasiska.
The Bannock National bank might
properly be termed a bank Of bank
ers," because 1t numbers among its
stockholders many of the wealthlest
hnanciers In the great intermountain
country, Ii has been said of this insti-
tuition throughout Idaho that 1t Is as
solid as the rock Of Gibraltar.
There are so many reasons why any
person earning or handling money
should open a bank account that col
umns of space could be devoted TO that
topic alone. one splendid reason is that
II acts as a check upon and at once
becomes "A record OF all business trans
actions In turn that leads almost in
variably to the preventing of the need
less expenditure of money, Again, a
cancelled bank check Is the very best
evidence OF payment In case of dis
pute.
The Bannock National bank transacts
a general banking business In every
sense of the term, selling drafts on all
principal cities throughout the United
States. other portions of America and
Europe and pays interest on time de-
poslts. Another feature Of this nstltu-
ton Is it's splendidly equipped depart
ment supplied with safety deposit
boxes which are rented at reasonable
rates.
To people contemplating the opening
of bank accounts naturally the first
question taken into consideration Is the
financial strength of the institution in
question. When the question OF sound
financial institutions Is raised In Idaho.
the state cannot boast OF stronger
or better managed bank than the Ban
mock National.

THE PEOPLES STORE.

Southern Idaho boasts of no larger
or better stocked establishment of its
kind than the Peoples store, the pro-
prietors Of which are Messrs. Gasser
and Cleare The business was estab-
lished I'm 1892 and an iron clad rule
that has maintained ever since Is
zone price to all and guaranteed sat
isfaction."
1t Is indeed a revelation to the tem-
porary visitor in Pocatello TO see such
large and up-to-date store as the
Peoples, but when the fact Is taken
into consideration that the business
has simply grown as 1t has because
OF the enterprise and shrewd busi-
ness judgment Of its prOprietors the
reason rs apparent
The Peoples store carries complete
stocks in dry goods, shoes, ladies' and
gents furnishing goods, etc, IN
lariably at this time Of the year the
store is a Veritabe Christmas bazaar
and the holiday goods displayed for
Christmas, 1895, are the talk of Po-
catello. The assortment besides be-
ing the largest ever displayed by this
firm Is also the most complete In every
department ana the prices are such
that residents of PocateIlo and yicin-
ity would be foolish in the extreme to
consider for one moment spending
their money for similar goods IN any
Of the metropolis cities Of the inter-
mountain country.
Pocatello certainly has in the Poo-
Pies store an establishment to be
proud Of In every sense OF the word
II is equally orue also that the resi-
dents, not alone of the city but of
Bannock county, appreciate the esrab-
lishment and they are very liberal
with their patronage.
one of the features of the success
Of the big business built up by Messrs.
Gasser &Cleare Is that the stocks are
constantly being supplied with every
thing of the latest pattern and design
In the market. Throughout the year
at stated times special sales ON par
with any held In the largest inter-
mountain cities are held and invari-
ably at prices which attract large

COME OUT OF HIDING!

The request OF the attorneys OF the Home
Telephone Company, that the public withhold
Judgment on the merits of its proposition to estab
lish itself in this city, is reasonable; but to in
tegent business men it is superfluous.
The question now before the people, however,
is not the merits of the Home Telephone COM
pany's enterprise, but the methods OF secrecy by
outset.
There can be no good reason why the men
back of legitimate business undertaking that
intends deal fairly and honestly with the public
should hide their identity and sneak behind an old
charter that successfully conceals them.
When a corporation that seeks immensely val
liable public rights from the city adopts such a
policy, il not only invites the gravest suspicion of
its purposes but it places itself in attitude where
il deserves no consideration whatever from the
city council
It's action in this respect is not only an insult
TO the city, but is so characteristic of the methods
employed by other corporations whose practices
have been in the highest degree detrimental to the
public good that the dstrust is intensified.
When the Home Telephone company shall
see fit TO disclose the names of its stockholder.
and directors then-and not until then-will il
be entitled TO fair and unprejudiced examination
OF its purposes and of the merits of its system.

known-should count only the public's knowl-
edge of their business character and responsibility
should govern just and thorough consideration
OF their proposition Whoever they prove to be,
all alike are entitled to this; and the matter then
may be determined upon its merits.
That phase of the case, however, has not yet
been reached and until il is, the Home Telephone
company stands discredited in advance by its per-
sistent refusal to disclose facts that the city coun
Gil and the citizens generally have right to know
before for a moment the proposition of the corpo-
ration receive any consideration whatever.

WANT TO BE SMART.

The craving of the Alaskan Indians for

need and the answer Is the same:
Schools for the children so that they
may become smart like the white man. "
They are very affectionate people "a
their children: every benefit is for the

fact that they represent the past They
have always been producers. and their
faith in themselves Is half OF the struggle
that lies before them. To this end they
should be provided with day schools In
all of the villages of hundred or more
adults.
