Each Will Have a CapitaIiza-
ton Of $4,000

Two new banks have been organiz-
ed for towns in Cass county, one of
these will be located at the town of
Mapleton and the other at ArgusvilIe,
and in both instances the Merchants
National bank of this city is interest
ed. They will each have a capitalize
tion of $4,000 and expect to be ready
to do business June l. The two COM
munities are growing ones and there
Is no doubt whatever that the two
banks will prosper fro mthe first
and be strong financial institutions.
For several years the Merchants Ma
tional of this city has enjoyed a large
clientage in the two towns and acting
upon the urgent requests of clients of
the bank in the towns the Fargo insti-
tuition has decided to work with the
farmers and business men in starting
the banks.
The MapIeton Bank.
The new financial institution at
Mapleton will be known as the Maple
ton State bank and as stated above
will have capitalization Of $4,000.
The directors who have been selected
are as follows:
w. F. Mcintyre, farmer; c. H.
Thompson, farmer; A. L. McKinnon,
farmer, all of Mapleton, and S. S.
Lyon, cashier of the Merchants Ma
tionaI, and Frank R. Scott, assistant
cashier of the same bank in this city.
Among the stock holders of the
Mapleton State bank might be men
toned the following: Charles Footer,
merchant; P. c. Derrig. hardware
merchant; w. ]. Duff, manager of the
White -McCulloch Lumber Co.; w. A.
Conant, harness dealer; H. B. Cross,
farmer; Duncan Brownlee, farmer;
Andrews Bros, farmers, all Of Maple
ton.
The new bank people may erect a
substantial building in which to house
the new institution.
The ArgusviIIe Bank.
The name of the new financial in
stitution at Argusville, will be Argus
vile State bank, and it is the in
tention of the directors to put up a
suitable building in which to do busi-
ness. The. directors Of the bank are
as follows: s-..... ~ -. .>.--'
A. +, Erickson, machinery and hard
ware dealer; Henry Hildreth, farm
'er and real estate DEALER both Of Ar
gusviHe; H. w. -Gearey, vice president
of the Merchants National; w. l.! Day,
assistant cashier Of the Merchants Ma

ager of the Farmers elevator; E.. E.

Geo. H. Johnston will more than like
Iy be cashier of the new bank.
The banks will start off with good
clientage, for many of the farmers and

have already decided to do business
with the new institutions.

PHYSICAL
VALUATION
OF ROADS
Commerce Commission Must
Tackle Great Task
Will Take Five Years at the
Least Calculation
Cost Is Estimated at $780,
900 Yearly.

Washington, April 26.--The inter"
state commerce commission, prepar-
ing for the work of making a physical
valuation of the railroads in accord
ance with provisions of recent act
Of congress, is about to announce the
personnel of an advisory board Of five
engineers, which will assist the COM
mission in formulating plans for the
work.
The advisory board will convene
shortly after May 1 and in co-opera-
ton with the commission will work
out the details of the proposed valua-
ton. The direction of the valuation
work along lines approved by the
commission will be delegated to Com
missioner Prouty.
1t is regarded as scarcely likely that
the work of determining the physical
valuation Of the railroads Of the Unit
ed States will be completed under five
years. The lowest estimate of cost
is $1,800,000 yearly.
