Savings Bank Statement Shows
Much Cash on Hand.
An index to the financial condition OF
the Palouse conntry can be gained by a
reference to the statement published in
The Gazette this week by The First Saw
ings and Trust bank of Colfax. While
this is not large institution from point
OF capitalization, it is shown to have
cash on hand at this time in the sum of
$95. .667.O2, with stocks, bonds and
other securities bringing the total re-
sources up to the magnificent sum of
S3SS, ,0O3 TO There is on deposit in
this bank $305, ,S27.33, a good portion
of which is in the savings department,
such deposits ranging in sums from 81
up, many OF the depositors being school
chilnren. Since the organization Of this
bank in 1905, there has been paid to it's
savings depositors SAC, ,352 81 in in
terest.
This statement certainly shows a
thrifty condition of business affairs, and
what is true of this institution is elsO
found in the other banks throughout the
county.
This bank has large clientele through
out the eastern states as we'll as the Pa
ci6c coast, and is recognized by the lead
ing bankers of the state as one OF the

telegraph Service Improved

Arrangements have been completed
whereby telegraph messages may be

telephone, The message is transmitted
to the local telephone Office, and from
there sent to the nearest telegraph Office
that has an all night service, where it is
received and forwarded to it's destina
tion without any delay. This arrange
ment applies more particularly to night
messages. This will give the farmer who
has phone the privilege OF night tele
