Grand Jury Probe OF DefalcatiOns Be
ing Eyed by POpuIace.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Nov. 9.-Unu-
sual interest Is manifested here over
the grand jury probe of the Lewiston
National bank shortages. The thor
oughness OF the examination is shown
by the fact that the bank directors
are to be called to testify as to the
accounts of the institution losing
$4,000 The bank directors who
signed the reports which are sent to
the comptroller OF the currency and
which showed a clean condition, will
be asked to tell how they ascertaIned
the correctness OF the reports shown
unreliable.
The testimony of National Bank
Examiner Claude Catch, which may
be corroborated by Special Bank Ac-
countant Lewis Gray, is thorough.
After the conviction OF w. r. Ket-
tenbach and George H. Kester on
conspiracy charge, president and cash
Ter of the bank who resigned, Clar-
ence w. Robnett, bookkeeper. also
resting under land fraud convictions,
was permitted to remain in his posi-
ton for several weeks and, after leav-
ing the institution, was reemployed
and placed in the same position OF
trust.
The reasons for permitting him to
remain in the institution will be
probed. Assistant Attorney General
Peyton Gordon. who is in sole charge
of both the land fraud cases and the
bank Investigations. has said that the
government intended to probe the
shortage and ramificatlons leading mp
to 1t. Z. C. Smith, cashier Of the
bank at the present time, will be
called before the grand jury this
week.

Montgomery Tax Values
 Have Increased During Year

The rapid growth in the public school system of Montgomery is a soure> of general pride to the State as well as to local educational inter- ests. The system requires teaching force of 11S, with salaries aggregating s65.b36 per annum. There are flf- teen school buildings, and to these Is to be added another to cost $12o,000 which is now in course of construc- tion. These house the 4.S50 children who are enrolled.
 It Is & city, too, whose waterworks alone netted to Montgomery. the own CT. s11S,07S.oS in the past decade.
 Truly. Montgomery is city beauti- full. city prosperous. city cultured Ing prosperity on the business. hori- zon. captains of industry declare that an unprecedented year of sucsess awaits Montgomery. Its prosperity being based upon the unfailing rocks of -agriculture--there can be no dark pictures for the future of the Hub city of the South. It Is ad- vancing to most enviable position as distributing center. With the im- proved freight navigation of the Ala bama river on which the Capital City is situated. the distributing advantages of this city will increase the faster. Also. besides being & thriving cotton center, Montgomery is stepping to the fore as a prominent forwarding point for 8 rich and growing truck region. This region extends Tn all directions. It is bound to reduce the cost of healthful living in Montgomery far be- low the puzziing average oe the pres ent. That Is why the new population Is already heading this way.

 "The high standing of the securities Of the leading Southern cities in the financial marts of the country Is well illustrated by the sale of $247,000 of paving bonds of the city of Mobile, Ala, to one of the big life insurance companies in New York. It seems that the entire issue, S320,000, was first ta- ken by 6 local financial institution at Mobile. but the bonds were then resold to 6 Cleveland. O., bank which offered a satisfactory figure for the securities. The Cleveland bank evidently knew what 1t was about for 1t. too. has made profit out of the transaction, having since sold most of the bonds to the in- surance company above referred to.

Like other communities in the States owing to adverse legislation, Montgomery has suffered no doubt. It has been bat tie again influences which tend to drive away foreign capital, but the city has come out on top. It was in deed an industrial year of which her citizens may feel proud.
 The taxable values of Montgomery have leape1 into the thousands of dol lars ahead of the year previous. It is an interesting matter of record that this municipality offering the greatest opportunity of all Southern cities to proft-seelkers has shown .an increase of SS.46s.375 in taxable values in the past ten years. nor have the industrial and agricultural conditions been at all favorable for an attractive showing in the past two years.
 But there are other indices of the citv's recent growth. Tn this same pe- riod there was witnessed an increase in postal receipts in Montgomery of S80.s26 which represents 144.4 per cent. The big total of 22.60O.oOO pieces of mau matter were received and dis patched by the local postoffice
