HlIyer Opposes Qualification
Of National Bank Laws

Atlanta, Oct. 31.-William HurC
Iillyer, the well known Atlanta fin
ancier, is quoted in the current
issue of the New York Trust Com
panies Magazine, in an interesting
interview, opposing the central re-
serve banks of the federal govern
ment, that is, the establishment OF
federal trust companies.
Mr.. Hillyer favors the participa-
ton of the trust companies in the
benefits of the proposed national
reserve association, but does not
think the establishment of federal
trust companies would be eXpedi-
ent.
In the course of his article he
says:
Il am opposed to such modifica-
ton of the laws governing national
banks as would give these instltu-
tons a right to engage in any form
of trust business. They are already
permitted to perform certain f"2c-
tons which rightly belong to a
trust company, and do not, within
my judgment, fall within the legal
lied powers Of national banks I'M
der existing laws"
Mr.. Hillyer is vice president and
Treasurer of the Fillyer Trust com
pany.

DEATH OF MRS. LUTHER HOLLY

Mrs. Luther Holly departed this
life at her home in Pocatello Sunday
morning.
The remains were brought to
Blackfoot for burial, and the funeral
was conducted from the Methodist
church on Tuesday afternoon, the
Elks taking charge. The floral offer
ings were profuse and beautiful, and
a large number of the order of Elks
were present, as we'll as many friends
of Mrs. Holly and family.
Mrs. Holly was born in Blackfoot
twenty-four years ago, and made her
home in the Grove City until her
marriage to Mr.. Holly a few years
ago. Mr.. Holly is perhaps the best
known horse man in the northwest
having resided in the Gate City fol-
many years, during which time he has
made innumerable friends who SYM
pathize with him in his hour Of be-
reavement.

Trustees
Convention

The trustees convention held at
Blackfoot, Wednesday, was one of the
best meetings of its kind yet held in
the state. The people who were pre-
sent were so interested and took such
and active part in the discussions, 1t
was productive of much good in get
ting the work reduced to what 1t
should be in the schools. Some very
able addresses were given touching
upon tr ,stees' duties, the hiring of
teachers, discharging them for proper
reasons, standing by them when in
need of official backing, and all the
things needed to make better schools.
Mayor r. N. West gave an address
of welcome to the visiting trustees,
and VIM. A. Crawford, of Riverside.
was called upon without previous
warning to respond, and the hearty
and enthusiastic speech which he de-
livered was even more of surprise
than the very fitting address of the
Mayor.
At the noon hour they all retired
to the church parlors and were seated
at tables spread by the ladies of the

dinner and wondered at the courage
of those who erected the first build
ings, after having dinner and en-
joying the rockers in front of the
mammoth fireplace, took another look
at the town and the broad plains
dotted with new farms and steaked
with canals, and re-arranged their
conclusions based upon the saying
"The end justifies the means the
means being at the same time thing
of beauty and joy at present.
Glanville, the enterprising photo
grapher, was there, and took some
views of the buildings and of the
crowd grouped at the Commercial
Club.
The town is only year old, is
about 18 miles southwest of Black
foot, and they are much in need of i
blacksmith, a drug store and an i'm
plement house.

Big Day
at Pingree

An auction sale was held at Pin
gree Wednesday, and with special
train service, dinner at the Pingree
Hotel. and a superb day advanced by
the weather clerk, Pingree became
the Mecca for those who could ar
range to be there.
A number of Blackfoot ladies who
went down by rail volunteered to
help the hostess, Mrs. T. R. Jones,
and her aiders, and Mrs. F. E. DeKay,
Mrs. H. C. Dippel and Mrs. ]. A.
Marten contested for the honor of be-
ing head waiter, it being rulable to
place tips only with the head waiter,
whoever that was. Mrs. A. L. Wi
mer presided at the piano and
Jones acted as clerk and cashier and
was graceful as bell-hop and elevator
man. The dinner was worth four
times the price charged, and patrons
at the afternoon sales bid higher in
order to do their part in the game.
Mrs. Maurice Watson, Mrs. Lucy
Davis and Mrs. Mcdonald became
aides-de-camp of the chef, and dinner
went merrily.
