Not only has the city these two
heavily capitalized banks, but 1t also
has a number of investment and loan
companies, enjoying large business.
Among these Is the +. II. and W. c.
Dewey Investment company. 1t has
a capital stock of 100000, and enjoys
a business Of large proportions, en-
tracing realty investments, loans and
| livestock operations. The Nampa In
Vestinent company, Of which Eugene
Emerson Is the president, Is another
local company operating along similar
lines, which is of large capital. The
city well may be termed one OF the
most important financial centers Of the
state. In various channels, it has num-
erous and largely capitalized com.
panies operating not only for the pro-
gress of the city, but for the develop
ment Of the vast new tributary coun-
try but recently reclaimed through the
completion OF the world wide famed
Arrowrock dam, and on the canvas
of certainty, 1t is entirely logical to
pencil a great picture of what the city
ill be a few years hence. It's business
men and citizens are a unit in efforts
for it's advancement and for the con-
summation of great things for 1t. and
with the great influx of immigration
from the eastern and middle western
states of which ITS surrounding coun-
try is now the beneficiary its future
as one Of the very best cities in the
state and as ore of the most import
ant points of the Oregon Short Line
railroad in the state is assured
