O MANY SUCH

When the First National SANK o l
Salmon City closed its doors a rev
weeks ago it was announced that u
was in a perfectly safe condition, ana
nobody would lose anything. ina.
the officers had merely concluded
that there we're too many banks III
Salmon and that it would be wise FOR
somebody to quit.
That statement created a little sur
prise and as the facts became KNOWN
some little amusement coupled with
grave concern. 1t a so obliglng
of them to do the quitting n let
the other fellows have the field!
Now it appears that they simply
got to the end of their rope and tn I
there was nothing left. At a sale OF
the business last week by Deputy
United States Marshal e. w. Beemer
they were not offered a cent for the
bank stock. The home and the ran'h
of the bank president were sold TO
apply on the claims of the creditors
and depositors.
Naturally these people whose non
ey was diverted into other hands aad
lost, are asking what is the use IN
having bank inspectors to watch over
the affairs of banks with a view OF
protecting the people, and still let
things go from bad to worse until tire
business is wrecked and then allow
the statement to go out that eVeSy-
thing is all right and that If they
will Just go about their business and
wait awhile that somebody will come
and hand them their money. In the
meantime the depositor is getting int
embarrassment by being deceived and
by waiting for money that is never
coming. Of course, human instltu'
lions are subject to human frailitieS
and = but after all, there is
something in the contention that the
people, through the government
ought to be their own bankers, anf
that the money of the United State
when deposited would be good and re
turnable to the owner at any time
If a postoffice in one town runs gu
of money it does not impair the value
of a postal money order, because tn
whole system is behind it, and tn
banking business ought to be mad
just as safe.

ratified their deadly warning. But
1.-The MAN of Idaho was of courage;
The was resourceful. He grazed MS
cattle; he herded his sheep. Along
the valleys where crystal streams
made music in the canyons OF lava,
he watered patches of the loWland,
and grew alfalfa for winter feed. Inc
lankiness of native cattle and sheep
yielded to the nutrition which came
from the moistened lava ash; new
breeds of cattle came to mock the
long horns and libby sides that had
searched the crevices for bunch grass
and buck brush. Rambouillet AND
Delaine, Lincoln and CotsWold'
crowded out the thincoated and an
gular limbed native sheep.
For the Man of Idaho worked
knowingly as we'll as c~ourageously.
Herds grew in size and character.
Money came as compensation for n
ergy, thrift and courage. 1t was the
first touch of irrigation to the deser,
lands of Idaho.
Development followed rapidly. The
work of the MAN of Idaho disclosed
possibilities that appealed to he cour-
~|ageous and energetic of other states.
lThe NEW MAN came to Idaho. Anu
the New Man was also courageous, or
Icapacity, of sagacity. The desert APP
pealed to him. His, work brought
:. results. The lava soil was reticulated
with irrigation bitches, which lee
from dams which are s~torehouses OF
possibility.
: Encouragement there was. The
!, big projects offering water for the
: bitches could not be completed al
quickly as it had been planned. Big
