During the regretted financial strin-
gency last year. this bank was one of
the institution in this part OF Idaho
that was able to ship in any coin or
currency, it being able to ship In sever

OWNED IN BLACKroOT.
1t is the proud boast of Cashier D. r.
Jones Of the Blackfoot State Bank
that the institution which opened it's
doors for business on May l. 1907, is
owned and controlled absolutely by
Blackfoot people. 1t is likewise anoth-
ser very important feature in connec-
ton with this financial institution that
1t very quickly gained the confidence OF
the people in that through the care
full and decidedly able management of
Cashier Jones its present deposits
amount to 100000, the capital being
$4,000 and the surplus $4,000.
The institution occupies a handsome
home on one of the nrincipl corners in
the business district facing the expanse
overlooking the depot. Its officers and
directors include J. c. Millick, presi-
dent. S. J. Rich. vice president; p. r.
Jones, as above mentioned, cashier;
the officers named and j. O, Morgan
and p. G. Johnston. directors.
{ Notwithstanding the fact that still
another and older banking institution
aside from the only national bank in
the valley was in successful opera

sitution looked far into the future and
seeping the great possibilities of the
surrounding country knew that in the
next few years the vast unsettled acre
age closely surrounding the valley in
which Blackfoot is situated would be
sdensely populated.
GREW FROM START
While every officer and director con-
'nected with the new bank is decidedly
popular in Slackfoot and vicinity,
Cashier Jones modestly admits the
fBlackfoot state Bank has certainly ac-
complished more things than he had
planned during It's first year and a half
of existence. However, there seems to
be nothing startling in the success of
the bank because the business interests
Of the city agree that Mr.. Jones is one
of the most enterprisinR residents.
No civic or other IMPROVEMENT look,

Blackfoot and vicinity finds,more ready
champion than Mr. Jones. He is
booster in everey sense of the word
and anything that will tend to upbuild
Blaclfoot and its wonderful valley ap-
5peals to him.
s What is said of Mr.. Jones can as well
be stated of every officer and director
connected with the Blackfoot State
Bank. 1t is little wonder then that
this latest financial addition to Black
foot has met with such splendid success
from the start. II business keeps on
increasing in the same proportion next
year as since organization the bank
will soon have to increase its office
size.
