FINANCIAL STRENGTH.

The report of the condition of the
Salmon River State Bank was published
in last weeks issue of the Free Press,
being made at the close of business,
November II, 1916. The report speaks
well for the bank, and the residents of
the Salmon river section can also take
considerable pride in the showing made
by their financial institution. The re-
port shows a surplus of $4,000; undivid-
ed profits in the sum of $3,660.34, and
deposits $ll1, 270.1S. Comparing the
statement with the condition of the
bank as shown in November one year
year ago, the deposits of the institution
have increased $25, 767.6s. This a re
markable showing for the bank and for
the community, to which residents of
White Bird can direct attention when
inquiries are made by interested par
ties concerning White Bird and the
Salmon river country.
The present Officers of the White
Bird bank are Frank w. Kettenbach,
president; Enoch Christensen, vice
president; A. L. Donaldson, cashier, and
A. G. Elder, teller. The directors are
Frank w. Kettenbach, Enoch Christian

The most stirring scenes OF a
great maritime disaster are part
of the coming Pallas-P aramount
photoplay," The American Beau
ty," that will be the attraction at
the Grand theatre tonight. An
ocean liner is on fire and as the
vast clouds of smoke pour forth,
the frantic mobs fight for safety.
Some struggle for the life belts.
Others attempt to rush the life
boats and are forced back at the
pistols point by the ships off
GERS. All the signs of great
marine tragedy are evident and
as the liner is about to go down
the most narrowing scene takes
place. Men and women gone
temporarily mad begin dropping
into the sea from points all over
the ship only to drown after a flu
tile struggle. Because of this
tragedy Ruth Cleave as played by
Myrtle Stedman, the star, starts
life under a great handicap but
afterwards this condition be-
comes responsible for her rise to
fame.
