Fortunately for the banking industry
In Montana those obnoxious interests
have been eliminated. The new d.
%rectorate is composed OF solid and
substantial business men. Under
their guidance 1T is to be expected
that the bank Will speedily take Its
place once more as one of the leading
banks Of the west. While the suspen-
sion probably worked q few hardships
on some Of the %depositors. 1t has not
been wholly non-beneficial. It has
brought about the elimination from
the State Saving bank Of any
spirit OF speculation that might have
existed and has totally %eradicated any
unsound banking methods.
The resumption of the bank demon
strates that financial conditions in the
great copper camp are not as bad as
has been intimated. Its resumption
is a most encouraging sign, indicating
a return of confidence and a resump-
ton of the prosperous conditions,
which were checked a few months
ago. There was no run on the bank
and the number of depositors was in
creased on the first days business.
That does not look like everybody in
Butte was going broke, as some people
would have us believe.
