Well. Randall is here at Oakley; the bank
has deposits in excess of $2O0.OOO; it has
just finished its building, a handsome one
of lava rock and pressed brick, modern
throughout, with a steam heating plant;
complete, thorough, with enough rooms
rented in it to clear 10 per cent net on the
investment and give the bank its corner
quarters, on the main street of the town
free of cost. In the manwhile he has gone
into the sheep business with +. Chapman,
a widely known flockmaster of this section.
The winter has been kind to these sheep,
and the increase, the wool and the lambs
in value today Just about tot up $S2 900, -
to use Randalrs expression. In the mean
time, too he finished the organization of
the bank at Hiram; he and Browning and
ECces have taken over the Burley State
bank; a home has been built and Baby
Jack" is here on the scene waiting at
night for daddy" to come home and a
| little woman makes fairy land of brick
cottage which is just big enough for three.
The Kuhns multi millonaires, of Pitts
| burg, the men who. have conquered the
deserts of more than half of Idaho, are
operating here; Randall has had some in
SIDE tips and has, bunch of real estate
on the old town site, within a block of
where the Kuhns are to erect a $4,000
hotel; he gets all the loose money he wants
from the First National bank at Ogden.
or from the First National at Omaha.
