AZ the regular monthly meeting of
the directors OF the Merchants Naticn-
al bank held yesterday, the institution
declared it's usual annual cash dividend
and increased its undivided profit ac-
count to $4,000, making the combined
surplus and undivided profit account
equal to the paid up capital. This
mark is an achievement of twenty
years effort.
The bank was organized in May,
1890, twenty five years ago, twenty
years ago next May, the institution
came under the present management.
At that time, John ID. Benton, one of
the pioneer citizens of Fargo, but now
resident of San Diego, CAL, was pre-
sident and H. w. Gearey was made as
sistant cashier and managing officer.
N. A. Lewis, Alex Stern and H.. w.
Gearey of the present board Of direct
ors were directors at that time. The
bank then had capital of 100000 but
the surplus account was practically
nil; the deposits $154,00
In 1898, N. A. Lewis was elected
president, which office he still holds.
At that time the bank had deposits of
$325.00, having practically doubled the
deposits in the short period of four
years. The surplus fund had been in
creased to $4,000.
Eight years later, S. S. Lyon, one Of
the best known bankers in the north
west, cast his lot with the institution.
He was elected cashier and H. W.
Gearey was made a vice president ~
In 1912. w. l.. Day and F. r. Scott
were made assistant cashiers. In Octo-
ber OF the same year, the bank took
over the assets OF the Commercial bank
and Jacob Lowell, jr., who had beer
connected with that institution, be-
came an assistant cashier.
During most of the above period, Os-

car G. Barnes was a,vice president OF
the bank.
During the above period in the
changes made necessary by death and
removal, the following well known men
have been associated with the bank on
its board of directors, j. e. Cronin,
DIR. l. N. Wear, DR.. J. d. Mcconnell, w.
F., Ball., Stevenson Dunlop and Judge
B. F. Spalding.
The bank has always born a high
reputation for its careful and conserv-
ative management; being generally
considered one of the strongest insti-
tutions; in the state. 1t has always
been noted for, the fairness of it's bus
mess methods and the, care and con-
sideration it extended it's clients. 1t
has always been the policy
of the Institution to secure the best
staff of employees obtainable and con-
tinuing them in Office.
While the above surplus has been
actually earned. the bank has, also,
consistently paid an annual dividend,
never having missed one during the
period of it's present management.
The building of surplus from
nothing to 100000; the payment of
annual dividends without single ex-
ception, and the increase of it's de-
posits from $150,000 to a million dol
lars is certainly proud record for a
period of twenty years.

Review Of the War

London, Dec 31.--Since the Russian
defeat of the Austrians in Galacia,
which, while not irreparable, is likely
to have a marked effect on the whole
Austro- German campaign in the east,
there has been no important develop
ment on either front.
The .allies, although making no
dramatic attacks on the German lines,
are steadily hammering away with
their artillery and when opportunity
offers, push their line few yards for
