THIRTY YEARS OF
PR0GREsSAND SERVICE
Organized Almost with Birth of
Town, First National Bank Has
Kept Pace with Progress and
Development of
Community

Thirty years ago last SUNDAY, W
be exact, on the 10th day of June,
1887, Pullman was village of less
than 200 souls. but each of those In
habitants was imbued with a spirit
of progress and firm believer ia
the future of Pullman and the Pa
louise country. The village claimed
a post office, a general mercantile
store and two or three other small
but enterprising business establish
ments, but there was no bank. The
residents who were fortunate enough
to Assem- BILE few sheekles were
forced to store them away in a can
or take their savings to Colfax to de-
post In the banks there. Pullman S
citizens had observed the need of
such an institution and Pullman
spirit prompted them to at once take
steps toward supplying that need,
On June 10, 1887, the Bank Of
Pullman was organized, and on June
10, 1917, that institution. after en-
joying 80 years of prosperity and
growth, celebrated the anniversary
of its birth as the First National
Bank of Pullman, financial institu
ton of power and influence and a
worthy monument to the prosperity
and advancement of Pullman, with
which it has kept full pace in point
of increased capital stock, deposits
and stability.
The Bank of Pullman was organ
ICED with capital stock of $25, 900,
the organizers being j. A. Perkins of
Colfax, A. l.. Mills of Colfax. w M.
Laid of Portland, Joe N. Seal of
Portland, and H. j. Webb, w. v.
Windus, T. II. Kayler, e, f.. Ellis
worth, A. T. Fariss and G. S. Mason,
all of Pullman. j. A. Perkins, who
still resides in ColfaX, was elected
president, with Fl. j Webb, now de
ceased, as vice president, and w, V.
Windus, now located in Spokane, as
the first cashier.
On January 29, 1892, the bank
was granted a charter as the First
National Bank of Pullm an, the
directors at that time being f. D
Richardson, f. w Downen, H j
Webb, w. V, Windus, H. G. De
Pledge and ] j. Humphrey.
April 13, 1915, marked another
epoch in the life history of the in
stitution, the bank on that date abb
sorbing the Farmers State Bank, the
consolidation bringing the deposits
of the bank up TO $473,271.83, the
high water mark in the history of
Pullman for single bank up to
that time
Just few months ago the insti-
tuition, having outgrown its former
quarters, moved to the present well
appointed banking house in the First
National Bank building, equipped III
a manner that would do credit to
town several times the size of Pull
man, and fitting place in which to
celebrate its 30th birthday.
The deposits of the bank on each
OF its 80 birthdays tell graphic
story of the rise and fall of Pull
mans financial fortunes during the
earlier years OF the towns history,
while the magnificent deposits of
the last few years are an infallible
index to the present prosperity of the
community
The deposits on each of the goth
birthdays are given below.

KIRBY SAYS I'VE
 DON'T WANT WAR

Little Rock, March 3O.-Senator ". r. Kirby was in the city yesterday re turning from Texarkana, where he had been called by the illness of his aged father and mother. He will leave tomorrow for Washington, to be pre- sent when Congress convenes in extra session next Monday. In discussing international affairs, he said:
 "The situation is desperate. The purpose of calling the extra session is to declare war. It is inevitable. With in few months we will have com pulsory military training between the ages of IS and 45, and there will be
 million and half men in the mobiliza- tion camps. We don 'tswant this war, and have done all could to keep the country out of it. But if it must come, I believe in preparing to make the most of it, and that as speedily as pos sible. It's bigger job than some of the men who are clamoring for war seem to appreciate. It will cost un- told amounts of men and treasure. It will be a war brought about by the British propagandists and Wall Street, and I repeat that we don't want, and
 lots of folks that are disposed to criticise now, will agree with me six months from now"

 Bro. Sherrell, of Malvern, filled his regular appointment at the Baptist church at this place Saturday and Sunday.
 These few lines were found on a latin examination paper last week by Prof. May, which had been written by one of the pupils: "All the people dead, who wrote it. All the people dead, who spoke it, All the people die, who learn it, Blessed Death" They surely earn it.
 Several people from this vicinity went to Donaldson Sunday afternoon to hear Bro. Sherell preach.
 The Baptist brethren are planning to have their church painted at this place. Help everyone so the burden will not rest upon just few good old brethren.

EMMETT JONES HAS FOUND HIS 100000.
 ELECTION IS AUG. 13

T knew there was something wrong
 somewhere" said Emmett A. Jones yesterday, upon his arrival from Mont gomery in his new yeiie car, which he was lucky enough to receive in place of the one that was recently wrecked when he had to run into tree to keep from jumping into Q creek where the bridge was washed away.
 .When I got canned in Montgomery as chief of the bureau of markets and
 immigration I did not worry, but when I came near losing my life Tn
 that automobile wreck I began to
 study Since I had announced as a
 candidate for commissioner of agri- culture quite naturally decided to To- cate my hoodoo. for I want tho track
 clear as I intend to win. I have at last located it.
 "Election day comes on August IS, 1918.
 "That's it, there is no getting around it, but I am of the belief that I have had my share of hard luck and that am going to find no bridges down on my run to the capitol, and that will land in the agricultural commits sioners office regardless of election day coming on that superstitious date the 13th.'' MT. Jones will return to Montgom cry today, from which city he is iin- ing up his campaign for commission CT of agriculture.

 "I left home not knowing where 1 would land, but am satified now. We boys send many thanks to the citizens of Birmingham for the preparation made for us as we left home. We had q solid Pullman train all the way
 We met it very cold and showing as we got to Evansville and the air was very brisk all the way to Camp Dodge. We find it much better than we expected and are located fine. Many of us should have been here long as;o. am satisfied we are being made men. Anyone who thinks he will have a hard time here is mistaken. Some are hav- ing a better time than ever before We have song thus: We Are Going to Catch the Kaiser and Then Come Marching Home'

CARRANzA WANTS ID SEPARATE OIL REBEL FROM GRAF I America and Allied Powers Would Have Palaez Re-
 main UnmOlested GERMAN INFLUENCE
 IS PLAYING PART Apprehension Is Felt That New Move in Mexico May Result in De.
 struction of Tampico
 Industry

Washington, November 15.-Interna- tional apprehension has been aroused by President Carranza's apparent determina- ton to drive the long unmolested Man. uel Palaez and his little rebel army from the oil fields near Tampico There was evident today in allied legations and eni- bassies here & feeling that German in- fiuenee had played a part in starting this move, which may prove embarrassing to the Kaisers enemies
 The fear now frankly expressed is that determined action just now by the Car ranza government may result in the long, feared attempt to destroy tho oil prop critics. In some quarters here, however. it is believed that Carranza will hesitate to drive the rebels to that polnt, in view of the political and economic dangers in- volved.
 Gen. Manuel Diegaez, however, has been sent into the oild fields with con- siderable force to clear the country be- tween San Luis Potosi and Tanpico of rebels. Already he has defeated one body of rebel troops and killed Mag dalena Cedillo, one of two Cedillo brothers, famous revolutionary leaders in that part of Mexico. Unless ordered by the war department to change his plans, it is expected General Dieguez will move toward the coast and attack Pa laez.
 1aFTauzd mas ulFecUed cdfnpdlSnS against various rebel chieftains, but never before has made a serious effort to disposses Palaez, who has exacted taxes from the foreigners owning the oil wells who also were paying heavy taxes to the established government The Car ranza government has not regarded the payment of money by the foreigners to Palaez as a friendly act, but the allies justified their course on the ground of necessity. In return for the money paid they received immunity.
 Reports from Mexico City indicate some Improvement in revolutionary conditions south of the capital although the oper. ations of Zapata in Morelos and Of rebels in Chiapas are of sufficient importance to occupy the attention of large part of the government army.
 News of these revolts and also of Vil- las activity on the border has aroused little interest among foreign government representatives here.

GOVERNMENT LOANS ID RAILROADS ARE
 ADVOCATED BY RIA
President of Pennsylvania < Thinks Time Has Come When This Plan Should
 Be Considered

Washington, November 15.-The Ques- tion of the government ioaning money to the railroads was brought forward the first time officially today at the cross- examination of eastern railroad off eials in the 15 per cent advance rate case before the interstate commerce com mission
 samuel Tea, president of the Pehnsyl- vania railroad, said that he believed the time had arrived when government loans should be seriously considered and later Clifford Thorne, counsel for many important shippers, stased he believed it the proper solution for the railroad ques- tion. Mir Req testified, however that should the money be forthcoming from the government it ought not to affect the proposed increas, while the shippers counsel believed tie plan should be made effective in lieu Of the rate increase.
 Mr. Reas statement regarding the loan came after he had testified that the Pennsylvania could not get more freight cars until the middle of next year, that he did not believe it possible to increase the output of locomotives largely because of what he referred to as disadvantageous labor situation, and that he did not believe it would be right to attempt bond flotation while the government was attempting to make large war loans
 NIT. Thorne indicated in his state ment given out tonight that shippers counsel Will maintain that the govern ment should loan money for needed i'm provements and new equipment rather than to allow the railroads to forward new construction anu build equipment with earnings.
