Tangible Evidence of 1911
Crop Value Found in
Figures There

Proof that North Dakota has had a
good year and that moneH rrturnS for
the 1911 crops have put the state in
excellent financial condition is availa-
BILE in tangible form in the marked
shifting in figures on balances and
their Minneapolis correspondents, says
the Minneapolis Journal, In the last
three months the amoun owed three
leading banks by North Dakota banks
has decreased abou I5 per cent. While
the deposits have more than doubled.
according to statements Ivy officers of
the Northwestern National. First Ma
tional and Security National banks.
An increase of $2.310.000 in deposits
and n decrease OF sa95.0oo in loans in
the three months from August 10 to
November 10 is the record of the
Northwestern National bank. The in
rrease in deposits during the period
was ahout 1916 per cent. while the
decrease in loans was about 7t per
rent.
Deposits by the North Dakota banks
in this bank August 10 were $780,

ing the Minneapolis correspondent

posits had grown to s@,a15,oo0. Will"
during the same period the loans had
decreased to $4,000. In the First
National n security banks figures
were not availahle. hut officers said
that in a general way the situation
was the same and a comparison of de-
posts and loans would show much the
same percentage results.
Good crops over practically the en-
tire state and high prices realized for
what was raised. bankers say. have
been responsible for the marked
change in the situation and bankers
in Chicago and elsewhere. who have
had access to figures. are quoted as
saying that the showing is one of the

for park purposes. In addition to
deciding the tract, Mr.. Thrill has
made testamentary provision. for a
permanent Improvement fund OF
$4,000. The deciding of this prop
