Increase, Says Controller.
REPORT GOES TO CONGRESS
Official Urges Punishment Be Pro-
vided for Dishonest Practices.
CONDITION OF DISTRICT BANKS
Capital and Deposits Increased Over
191O-Building and Loan
Companies Prosperous.

The general business Of the country, as
reflected In banking operations. was
quite satisfactory during the year
ended October 81 last, according to the
annual report of Lawrence o. Murray,
controller of the currency, sent to Con-
gress today. Mr.. Murray records a steady
growth in the volume of business and
the establishment of some high records in
this connection. He points out. however
that, while augmenting. some Of the i'm
portant elements Of banking during the
year did not reach the average Of in
crease for the past ten years.
The controller makes the startling dec
laration that 1.-The dishonest practice by
officers Of national banks Of receiving
personal compensation for loans made
by the banks Is a growing evil and has
already reached such proportions as to
call for criminal legislation on the SUBJ
ject.
In this manner he adds. either the
bank is defrauded Of lawful interest
which 1t would otherwise receive or usu-
rious interest is exacted of a borrower
by a corrupt officer. A secret reward to
the officers is sometimes deliberate
bride for obtaining loan on insufficient
security"
Mr.. Murray urges that the taking OF
money or other valuables in this connec-
ton by q bank officer be made an Of
tense punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary.

 Davis, the fullback, though playing only 8 few minutes, was the most powerful man of the Auburn team. Cruse, the light tackle, tore through the line for six good gains. Major, close second to Kirkpatrick on bunting, and Rossijac at fullback were the most reliable men on the team. When Major was placed at center Russell used his toe almost as effectively on the sphere as did his predecessor A part of the last half was a battle of punts between Russell for Texas and Major for Auburn, with the odds in favor of the latter.

Prominent among the 80 graduates
from the Lewiston Normal this week
is Miss Gladys Whiting. formerly
of Nezperce.
During her several years atten-
dance at the Normal Miss Whiting
has won distinction in various
branches of studay and has shown
especial efficiency in mathematics.
She has won her own way through
the entire course. receiving little
assistance aside from that gained by
her own efforts backed by deter

Miss Whiting is granddaughter
of G. w. Wiltshire. one of the pioneer
citizens of Nezperce, and formerly
lived here where she has many
friends who are proud of her success
in securing the education she craved

dance of life's best rewards.
