Banking Houses in
a Good Condition
In Spite of Unfavorable
Conditions Make Fine
Showing

The statements of Cut Bank S
two banking houses appears in
this number of the Pioneer
Press and it should be a source
of pride for the citizens O
scruntinize these reports and
note that both banks show an
increase in business, despite the
unqueStioned fact that times in
our own country are not good
and that the demoralized in
duStrial conditions abroad have
aggravated this condition. Then
pause to reflect on the unpleaS-
ant fact that crop conditions in
this community were decidedly
unfavorable this season n d
you cannot eSc' pc wondering
how our two banks can make
such a showing at this time.
The showing of the First Ma
tional is the best in it's history
and the Farmers State has made
a material gain
The cautious and efficient
management of both banks is
probably primarily responsible
for this showing. Another rea-
son; this section is one of the
solidest in North Montana,
built up with care and conserva-
tisrn. Most of the farmers are
thrifty and frugal and the local
business men are not Of the
boomer type. Under such con-
ditionS reverses can be with
stood without much embarrasS-
ment. We think the two
conditions noted above are the
principal reasons for the show
ing made on Sept. IL, by ou1
banking concerns.

Mrs. Collins Guest
of Local Friends
Known Throughout West
as Montana Cattle
Queen

Mrs. Nat Collins, known far
and wide as "the Cattle Queen
of Montana" is a guest of Mr..
and Mrs. T. R. Carr, whom she
has known Intimately for the
past thirty years. Mrs. Collins
was the first white woman to
arrive in Choteau and her oldest
daughter was the first white
child born in that town. The
town of Collins, near where she
owned a ranch, was named in
her honor.
Mrs. Collins is most verSati.
lie and entertaining woman and
in a half hours conversation
with the writer, Tuesday, she
threw many interesting side
lights on the. old West, now so
swiftly passing to retrospect.
Mrs. Collins has travelled
much among the Indians Of the
West and South and has also
visited Alaska, where s h e
studied the characteristics of
the Indians and Esquimaux in
that far-off land. Although she
suffered much at their hands in
the early days, Mrs. Collins has
a strong affection for t h e
Indians, especially those of the
older time. She has tried to aid
them in their longings and as
pirations and firmly believes
they have been more sinned
against than SHINING.
"The religious ardor and zeal
of the older Indians was truly
beautiful" said Mrs. Collins.
True, theirs was a worship of
the sun, animals and inanimate
things, but who can say that it
was a blind worship or did not
reach the ears of our common
God" She paid a high tribute
] to the early Jesuit missionaries
/ who, she asserted, did more than
any other agency to minister
to the spiritual and materia
needs of the Indians in the fal
west,

Look Like Winners

1t seems probable that our
three local candidates for county
office will be easily elected on
Nov. 8. Martin JacobSon's cleo
ton as county commissioner is
practically assured. His vote
in the primaries revealed his
strength both at home and in
other parts of Teton county,
especially at Choteau n d
Waller. With his home town
solidly back of him and a good
vote in the other two above
mentioned nothing can stop him.
John w. Coburn also received a
big vote at Choteau and Jared
we'll in Conrad. Waller and the
rural precincts on the south
side. His election is forcaSted
in all parts Of the county. DR..
Hulbush has proven to be a
very acceptable coroner and al
though he had no opposition in
the primaries he received a
large vote all parts of t h e
county, a criterion of the senti-
ment towards his continuing in
the office. He will start off
with a big vote a home-and no
candidate can expect to travel
very fast or very far who leaves
home with a poor showing.

features, which will be appreciated
