IDAHO BANKS SHOW GROWTH
Deposits in State Institutions Nearly
s15OO0,0 900 More Than Last Year.

Boise-The greatest increase in de-
posists in state banks in the history of
the state, is shown on the reports from
the recent call issued by the State Bank
Commissioner G.. R. Hit, the last one
of which was received Saturday, of
$14,689, 1856. This increase was made
in IL months. 1t gives some idea of the
prosperity that seems to be statewide
with the close of the old year.
Today it is estimated there are $780,
900 900 ON deposit in the state and
national banks of Idaho.
This remarkable showing is taken to
indicate by financial men that Idaho
is financially better off now than it
ever was before. The fact that high
prices were received for all produce,
that this was record year for miner
ais, for wool, for lumber, offers part
of the explanation as to why Idaho
should have such a comfortable cash
balance in its banks.
The last call of the state banking de-
partment shows the following liabili-
ties and resources totaled from the
reports of all banks in the state:
Liabilities-Total deposits, $34,833,-
O39.99; capital stock, $3,724,530; sur
plus, 1865, 1850; undivided profits,
$49s 1861; bills payable, $160,s75; re-
discounts, $46,22s.S2; other liabilities,
$S54.6O; reserve for taxes, $l5,699.1 3.
Total, $40, 1904.
Resources-Cash, 1898, 1884; due
from banks, 81, 1866, 394.3S; checks and
drafts, $253,332.5S; cash items, $685.
10000; loans and discounts, 1924
1851; overdrafts, $46,295; stocks,
bonds and warrants, 81 $780, $500; pre-
miums on bonds, $6,S52.15; claims and
judgments, $S1,334.96; banking and
house furniture, 1870, 095.54; other
real estate, $411, 915.26; other resourc-
es, $5s,OO0.77; expense in excess, 49,
792.43. Total, $4O,244, 7S704.
Since the call of November 10, 1915,
up to and including the call of Nov.
M, 1916, the reserve had increased
from 80 to 3S per cent in the state
banks.

A RIDE ON THE PILOT.
II Was Too Exciting Railroad Trip to
Be Repeated.

An eastern man was riding by rail
through the Rocky mountains. A
friend had told him about riding on
the pilot of the engine through some
grand mountain scenery, and the east
erner was eager to have the same ex-
perience. At the first opportunity.
therefore, he asked the conductor
whether his friends and he could ride
on the front of the engine. The con-
ductor very promptly said they could
not. Nothing but permit from the
superintendent of the line would en-
title any one to such a privilege. As
the superintendent was a thousand
miles away, 1t seemed a hopeless case.
The easterner spoke Of his disap-
pointment to the Pullman conductor,
who told him that perhaps the affair
could be managed after all. Through
his diplomacy it was arranged some
now or other, and at the next station
four of the party, including two ladies'.
took their places on the pilot.
The scenery was some of the grand
est in the new world. but the easterner
could not enjoy it. The two slender
rails in front held his gaze with sort
OF horrible spell. He could not look
away from them He felt almost the
same sense of insecurity and terror
that man would feel If he were sud-
denly whirled off into infinite space.
Suddenly, as the tram rounded
curve, he saw hand car on the track
ahead His companions saw it at the
same instant A man stood beside it
and was making desperate efforts to
remove 1t from the rails. He got the
wheels off: then, as the engine bore
down upon him, he fed.
The engineer did not see the hand
car at once, he was at the moment
looking at his gauges. When he did
see it 1t was too late for him to check
the speed of the train. He could only

Main street and cut the corners at a
lively gait for several minutes before
they were finally caught. Mule like
no damage was done.

be in the lowlands in greater numbers
than at any time in previous years. As

SNOW DOWN TO SALMON RIVER.

The present snow now extends down
to Salmon river and many of the stock
men have already begun feeding hay to
their cattle. With winter starting in
this early the feed problem will become
serious before spring unless break in
the season occurs but many feel that
January may prove to be an open month
and this will aid greatly in tiding them
over until spring. The stockmen gen.
orally are better prepared with feed
than in former years and even should
this prove to be long winter the losses
will not be as great as in former years.
