and timber interests OF this section
had assumed, demanded largely in
creased capital which the stockhol-
Jders~ were unable to supply, and in
order to meet these demands, and
also because of the desire of Mr.. Bill
deroack to retire from active busi-
ness life, the overtures which DR..
Isham and Mr.. Smell made to Sc
cure an interest in this prosperous
banking institution was accepted.
The alliance OF these two gentle
men with the First National means
that Emmett is to become the fl
nancial center of the upper Payette
valley for a distance of 100 miles at
least.
They are men who have had an
extended banking experience and
have strong financial backing. In
an interview, DR.. Isham told The In
dex that he had been keeping his
eye on Emmett for several years.
confident that here would be built a
prosperous city The rapid devel-
opment of this section, the growth
of the livestock and timber in
dustries and the certainty of the
building of one or two trunk lines |
of railroad down the valley he
said, has convinced me that an ex-
cellent field is here for a bank with
resources sufficient to meet the de-
mands of trade, and Mr. Smell and
myself decided to get in if POSSIBLE.
There will be no change in the pol
icy of the bank. 1t will continue to
be strictly an Emmett institution
for Emmett people and is not allied
with any other bank, except in an
indirect way. | myself shall spend
the greater portion of my time here
and shall miss no opportunity to
work for the advancement of Emmet

The First National was the first
bank established in Emmett 1t
! received its charter in 1902, the
year the Idaho Northern built into
the city, and began business in a
corner OF Frank Crosson's old store
building. The officers and direc-
tors were: Walt Sebree, president;
w. r. Cartwright, vice president;
E. X. Hayes, cashier, John McNish
and C.. p Bilderback. When the
McNish building was erected the ban
moved to its present location. With
the growth of the town and country
it has grown and prospered until
today it is recongized as one of the
safest and most wisely managed
hanks in the state. 1t has passed
many financial gales and has wealth
cred them safely, owing to the able
management of it's cashier, E X
Hayes, and the conservative policy o
its officials The retention of NJ:
Hayes as cashier will be good news
to Emmett people, and an assurance
that the First National will main
tain its reputation for solidity, and, |
with its enlarged resources, will be-
come one of the strongest financial
in the West and a pow
erful factor in the development of
this wondrously fruitful valley and
this prosperous little city.

Things will seem sort of strange
time since the retirement of Charlie
Bilderback. For eight years he has
been a director of that institution
and part of the time it's president.
He always had CHEEKY word for
everybody His judgment in busi-
ness matters was sound ard his Coun-
sci was eagerly sought. His heart
was as big as his waistband and no
man if he was worthy ever appeal
ed for help in vain. In the admin
istration of estates for widows and
orphans and in other matters of pub
lie or private trust, he was the soul
of honor. The Good Lord may have
created better men than big-heart-
ed, broad-minded, generous, honest
Charlie Biiderback, but if he did he
called them above long ago. Mr.
and Mrs Bilderback contemplate
leaving for an extended visit to
Mr.. Bilderback's brothers in Okla
Eoma, to his old home in Kentucky,
to New Orleans, California and final
ly to the Philippines, where their
daughter, Mrs. Hattie Maize, is liv-
ing. There isn't a man, woman or
child in the valley who won't join
with The Index in wishing them a
jolly good time, a safe journey and
many more years of usefulness in
the good old town of Emmett

LAND BOARD ACTS.
John McSish Appointed Trustee of
Canyon Canal

The controversy between the Can
yon Canal Company and the Water
Users' which has been going on for
nearly three years, was again taken
before the state land board yester-
day by committee representing the
/ Water Users Association. The COM
mittee was appointed Monday after
noon at meeting of the water users
/ and was composed of r. B. Wilson.
H. S. Workman, c. H. Martin. W.
E. Bell and w T. Calender, with
w. H. Shane as alternate. A meet
ing was held Tuesday afternoon will
the land board, when, after hearing
the canal company's side of the case
from Louis Roos, the board served
notice that the company would be
given until Wednesday morning at
- O'Clock to show cause why their
contract should not be forfeited and
the state take charge. Upon furth-
er consideration, however, less dras-
tic measures were agreed upon and
the board decided instead to take
temporary charge and operate the
:anal during the irrigation season.
Upon the suggestion of the commit
tee, ]. McNish was appointed trusted
and disbursing agent for the state
and he has been provided with mon
ey from the Carey act trust fund fol
the maintenance of the canal and
t.Iorized to pay all expenses dating
from May %.
This condition of affairs was
brought about by the failure of Trow.7
bridge & Niver, the bonding COM
paiIy, to pay wages due the workmeI
employed on the canal and bills for
and supplies, amounting to
approximately $4,000. Monday NOR
ing every man employed on the sys-
.em quit. and crisis was at hand.
Wages of sufficient men to guard \
against breaks was guaranteed by
Iohn McNish and others until the
and board came to the relief of
he water users.
Action against the bonding COM
Dany to compel compliance with the
ontract or payment of the differ :
nee to the trustee was informally .
discussed by the board but nothing
efinite done with respect to insti- .
uting suit. The board proposes,
owever. to require the bonding
ompany to make good under the
ontract for acceptance of the canal
y the settlers as adjudicated by
'anial Martin, the present state en-
ineer, before accepting the present
fficial position. The board express
d the consensus of opinion that the
anal should be completed andin the
vent that settlers are unable to fur.
ish the necessary finances for COM
letion, advance additional funds un
| settlement can be had with the
Onding company.

M WINDY AND DUSTY
IN RECEiS Eli'S HANDS
L. S. Marshal Bedding or
This City to Sell the Road From
Rapid City to Mystic.

Information has come by way Of
Sioux Falls to the effect that Judge
Garland of the United States court
has appointed John P. Belding nj
Deadwood, to the position of special
master, with authority to sell the
property of the Missouri River and
Northwestern Railway company un-
der foreclosure proceedings. The
date of the SAFE has not yet been fix
ed
Speaking OF this railroad and its
history, the Sioux Falls Argus-Lead
er says:
This railway is certainly entitled
to be named the hoodoo railroad Of
the United States. The line extends
from Rapid City to Mystic, a distance
of about thirtyfve miles, Mystic be-
ing in the heart OF the Black Hills.
The railroad was constructed
number of years ago and spaces have
been brief in which it has not been
involved IN difficulties OF some kind.
Ii was only a few months ago that it
passed out of the hands of a receiver
after years of litigation, and the new
owners Immediately set about inn
proving the road and placing it upon
a paying basis.
Only few days ago the trainmen
employed by the little railroad went
on strike because they were not paid
overtime for repairing the locomo-
tives OF the company after the days
run, the trainmen themselves being
required to do this, as no shops of
any kind had yet been established.
To add to the troubles growing out
of the strike, the special master now
has been appointed to make sale
of the property of the company.
One disaster after another has
been the experience of the different
owners of the road for years. The
road passes in proximity to one por-
ton of the Black Hills forest re-
serve, and some time ago the govern
ment commenced suit against the
road for the recovery done by fire in
the forest reserve which was alleged
to have been started by sparks from
locomotive on the little railroad
Since passing out of the hands of a
receiver a gasoline passenger service
has been maintained by the company.
In the early days the railroad was
also known as the Dakota and Wyo-
ming line, and those who felt called
upon to scott at it referred to 1t as
the "Windy and Dusty" railroad
When the railroad passed into new
hands few months ago when the
receivership was terminated it was
believed it's troubles were over.

ing been the first Of the original thir-
teen colonies to renounce sovereign
of Great Britain. According to the
historical records, it was on May / l..
1876, exactly two months before the
declaration of independence of the
United States was signed at Pniladel-
phia. that the members of the gen.
eral assembly of the colony of Rhode
Island and the Providence plantations
took steps towards a stand against
English rule in the shape of a formal
remuneration of allegiance to the Brit
ish crown.
Two years ago the Legislature de-
clsred for the observance of the an
niversary as public holiday through
ont the state. Today's celebration
consisted of patriotic exercises in the
public schools and historical exercis-
es in the hall of the old
state house in this city, where the

ed 1874 years ago, by the statesmen
of Rhode Island In further observ-
once of the anniversary salute Of

fall caused some misgivings in the
minds of the better class of citizens,
has given them an agreeable surprise
In the few months of his adminstra-

able record and almost every week
he adds further proofs of his ability
and efficiency. He has already ac-
complished great deal in the way Of
stopping graft and extravaganza in
and is still continuing the good work.
The other day he put his foot upon
the proposition to provide and main
tain an automobile for the coroner
of Richmond borough. In his letter
squelching the little scheme, Mayor
Gaynor proved himself somewhat OF
humorist, by stating that walking
