Silverton.-The Silverton National
Bank failed to open its doors for
business Tuesday. No statement as
to assets and liabilities Is obtainable,
but the claim is made that the bank is
solvent. The bank had money on de-

closing of that bank by the examiner
is said to have caused the suspension
Of the Silverton bank. The feeling
prevails that the liquidation Of the

Tuesday in telegram to the Colo
rado state committee on unemploy-

Rockefeller foundation stood ready to
contribute 100000 to relieve distress
among the workers in Colorado, par
ticularly in the mining districts.
On March 25, the committee sent a
telegram to Rockefeller saying that
there was considerable distress in
Colorado, and that although contribu-
tions had been received or pledged
from various sources, the indications
were that the funds SO gathered would
be insufficient.
In his telegram Rockefeller in
formed the committee that the Rookie
Teller foundation stood ready to meet
any deficit, up to 100000.
w. j. Mackenzie King, formerly
commissioner of labor of Canada, but
now connected with the Rockefeller
foundation, is at present in Denver.

King would represent the foundation
In this matter.

says: 1T may have been noticed that
at the twenty-third annual meeting
of the United States League OF
Building and Loan Associations, re-
Gently held in San Francisco, it was
reported by the Secretary that dur
ing the past year there had been an
incease in assets of 0S,SO6,S97.
Thee are more than 100000 men,
bers of these associations and the as
sets reach we'll up toward billion
and half, and are growing rapidly.
The past year was one of depres-
sion, with hard times the country
over and business reported dull. In
spite of that, this great movement
in which so many people are saving
money to build or pay for their
homes, grew at an astonishing rate,
and the savings through this means
increased more than 1OO,0OO,O00
ever the prosperous year before.
"There can be but one explana-
tion to it, and that is that when
times are dull and conditions not
prosperous, people increase their
care in expenditures. They do not
spend as much money for luxuries,
and they become more careful about
necessities. They insist that they
remain we'll within the line of neces-
stiles. They become more saving and
less prodigal.
In this condition and state of
mind, people naturally look about
for the best method of saving md
accumulatinfg money, unless already
members of local savings-loan COM
pany. In which case, they increase
their holdings and recommend their
outside friends to come into this mu
tual concern, which is the safest of
all. while paying the largest divi-
dends, and raised up especially to
help small and moderate savers.
The above citation from the Tele-
gram, proves the former contention,
now become an axiom, of these CO.
operative societies. that any person,
or family may save. by depositing
with a genuine local "savings-loan,
ten per cent of what any of them
have been spending. There 1t is not

served for future use.
