Business in Its History Yesterday
Deposits, $4,000

Is North Dakota prospering? Is
Fargo growing? These two questions
can easily be answered when it Is
known that yesterday the First Nat
ional bank did the largest business in
its history. Yesterday that institu-
tion took in 100000 on deposits from
the smaller banks over the state and
100000 on deposits through the win
dows, making a total deposit for one
day over half million, as the fig-
ures given by Vice President weiser
were in round numbers The next
largest business in deposits in the his
tory of the bank was last year when
$350,000 was taken in on deposits. Mr..
Weiser stated that since Aug. the
bank had received fifty-fo new de-
positors. Il do not mean that we have
taken these people away from other
banks, but they were new names
which shows that there are many peo-
pie coming to the city" said Mr.. wei
ser.

Of deep anxiety in Duluth, but this
morning conditions appear to have
changed for the better.
All yesterday afternoon and last
night fires threatened half a dozen of
the larger towns on the range. Hib-
bing fought almost persistent fires
from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until
late last night. At o'clock Duluth
was asked for assistance and a fire
engine was made ready for shipment
by special train. A telephone message
later held it in Duluth ready for ship
ment at any time and stated that the
crisis appeared to be passed. More
than 1000 residents of Hibbing fought
back the flames all night long, stamp
ing out the brush fires and wetting
down the fields about the town to keep
the fire from spreading.
No More Towns Destroyed.
Similar experiences are reported
from a dozen other range towns, but
so far as is known, there have been
no others destroyed.
At Aurora, Nashwauk, Buhl, Wren
shall and several smaller places and
villages the same story was repeated.
This morning what reports have
been received from busy fire fighters
are more optimistic. The wind is dying
down, and the fires appear to be grad
ually burning themselves out Great
