EXAMINING COMMITTEE
Finds the Iowa County Bank in
Excellent Condition.

We, the undersigned examining com
mittee appointed in compliance with
Section Ten, Chapter Two, Banking
Laws of 1908, made careful examina
ton of the affairs and conditions of the
Iowa County Bank as required by law
and we beg to announce that we found
the bank in a most excellent condition
We first went over the loans and dis
counts and examined carefully and
thoroughly the notes, mortgages and
securities of every kind and we could
not find poor loan or loan of doubt
full validity in the bank. All of the
bank loans are good.
We counted all of the cash on hand
and checked up the amount due from
other banks. We checked up also the
deposits subject to check, the amount
of the outstanding certificates of deposit
and the cashiers checks and found the
same correct.
We devoted considerable time to an
examination of the bank and we are
convinced that the banks condition is
healthy, prosperous and absolutely
sound This report is made for the in
formation Of directors, stockholders and
depositors of the bank.

auto; ninety miles in ten hours; but
in that ten hours I lifted that two and
a half tons of metal up over 7494 feet
of mountains to Lake Tahoe. And /
don't believe the scenery of that ninety
miles can be beaten on earth. The road
winds and twists up along the side OF
the mountains, along the banks of
roaring brooks and fast flashing wat

huge precipices where the road is blast
ed out of the rock, and where turn
of an inch or two out of the way would
have messed up the scenery frightfully
with a pair of AT Liberty" actors.
Twice during that climb I had to
change the adjustment OF the carbu-
rotor, as the air got thinner. Twice I
oiled up. and twice filed the radiator
with fresh water. And then-what do
