RECIPIENTS OF BANK FAVORS
INVITED TO LOAN T0WNLEYITES
$1,000 FOR LEAGUE TREASURY

that the Bank of North Dakota is CO.
operating with Treasurer Keys Of the
National Nonpartisan league in his eff
fort to negotiate a loan from the
bankers favored with deposits Of state
funds, the coincidental receipt Of Mr..
Keys letter, with note enclosed, and
Of the Bank Of North Dakota's rede-
posit of public funds is SO common as
to be tire cause of general comment on
the Slope.
In one instance the same mail
brought to a small Slope bank Mr.
Keys letter, with an invitation to re-
NIT 81 1000 by draft to the Scandinav-
ian-American bank, to be deposited to
the credit Of the National ,Nonpartisan
league, and a certificate of deposit in
the sum of $4,000 from the Bank Of
North Dakota, with instructions that
this amount be deposited to the credit
of the Bank of North Dakota. This
bank had not ordinarily carried as
much as $4,000 Of the public funds
of it's local community.
Slope banks which have rejected
what they regard as Mr.. Keys bait
and who have returned to him his
81 900 notes, are now awaiting devel-
opments. They still have on deposit
public funds redeposited with them
by the Bank of North Dakota, usually
on the same day upon which Mr.. Keys
letter was received. If, within the
next few days, the Bank of North Da-
kota should find reason to withdraw
these deposits, which will, for the
whole Slope, amount to hundreds of
thousands ofsdollars, the bankers will
feel that their suspicious were justi-
fled.
There are more than 700 state banks
in North Dakota, and their resources
aggregate $15O,OO0,O00. A majority
of these banks have already been in
vited by the Bank Of North Dakota to
invest in its bonds, at premium of
IL percent, and many of them, fear
ing they would not be made member
banks or redepositories, have already
bought a thousand or two thousand
dollars worth of these securities.
The Bank Of North Dakota's call
for the public funds of the state, which
aggregate about $21 100000 was made
on zone plan, the boundaries Of the
old judicial districts being adopted.
The funds west Of the river are just
now being redeposited with local mem
Der banks Whether other zones have
already gone through the same pro-
cess, and how many Thousand dollar
notes have been placed by Mr.. Keys,
cannot be determined.

PAll MOT GO
IS MAKING GOOD

s There are several Valley City peo-
pie who have stock in the Pan Motor
Company which for time was having
pretty hard shedding. The following
from the Daily st. Cloud Journal
Press is very assuring to these stock
holders:
A large number of Pan Motor stock
holders are in the city today attending
the annual meeting. Several states
are represented, and among the num-
ber Of distinguished visitors is the
first subscriber to stock, in the COM
pany. It must have been to him, and
to the others who come here from a
great distance, an inspiring sight to
see the splendid plant already erected
and paid for, and to ride in the really
wonderful cars made by this company,
and to witness the other evidences OF
wonderful development.
They gave evidence of being well
satisfied stockholders, and appear to
have faith in the success of this great
industry. !,
Considering the prosecutions and
prosecutions to which the company has
been subjected, the faith of the men
who put their dollars into the enter
prise, is certainly inspiring, and is a
great compliment to the management.
AS long as the stockholders are sat
isfied, why so much opposition by out-
side influences? Perhaps the answer
is that the stockholders are so well
pleased that the company is on the
highway to success, unless headed off
-and it's enemies are certainly trying
to blockade the road. May their +.
forts be in vain. Il II &S

Close coordination between the
Sank of North Dakota and the finan-
cial department Of the National Non
partisan league seems to be indicated
IN the coincidental receipt by Slope
bankers of an invitation from Thomas
Keys, treasurer Of the league, to loan
Mr.. Townley's organization $1,000 on
the leagues unsecured note in the
same mail which brought them from
the Bank Of North Dakota certifi-
cate Of deposit for public funds, gath
cred in the Bank Of North Dakota
from these localities, and redepos:ted
with the home banks. v
From National Nonpartisan league
headquarters comes to these banks
favored as repositories of the Bank Of
North Dakota, a friendly, chatty let
ter, enclosing a simple six-months'
note for the sum of 81 900, signed by
Thomas Keys, as treasurer Of the Ma
taonal Nonpartisan league. The bank
IS invited to accept this note as collat-
eral for loan Of 81 200, which is to
take the form of a draft or cashiers
check, made payable to the National
y Nonpartisan league and mailed to the
Scandmavian-American bank at Far
go. The local bankers are advised
that the $1,000 notes are perfectly
good, secured by post-dated checks
and farmers notes to the amount Of
200 or 300 percent of the value Of the
notes, and that these checks and
notes, maturing at some future date,
have been left with the Scandinavian
American bank for collection.
Mr.. Key informs the local bankers
that the scheme is perfectly regular.
He advises them that the leagues
simple notes can be carried on the
bank books as assets or, bills receiv-
able under the banking laws Of North
Dakota, and states that the league
has heretofore adopted this method Of
financing and has raised 100000,
which was paid back in due time.
One Slope banker is advised that
these 81 900 notes have been mailed
to $50 North Dakota state banks
which have been made repositories for
the public funds deposited, in compli-
ance with an act of the 10th assembly,
in the Bank Of North Dakota. How
we'll the league is faring cannot be de-
termined. In majority Of instances
the Slope bankers have shot Mr.. Keys
notes back to him by return mail, in
forming him that the farmers Of their
respective communities need all the
ready cash they have available, and
that they are not in the market for
unsecured league paper.

Rube Watkins Comes y Town
and Takes Several Into Camp

The quiet little city Of Valley CITY,
nesting so peacefully vi in the valley
last week, apparently everything nor
NAL, was thrown into seething mass
ssof excitement last evening when
State Enforcement Officer f. e. Wat,
$kins, accompanied by Assistant AT
torney General p. A. Sheets dropped
{ into town and Immediately proceeded
Ito swear out complaints against b
4 bunch Of our citizens for violation of
the liquor and anti-cigarette law.
sOne Of the great surprises Of all
this was the fact that Chief of Police
Il E.. n. Swanson was caught in the
[ dragnet. It. seems that Friend Wat
: skins and couple Of other parties
worked the chief to participate in the
drinking Of, couple of bottles Of
liquor purchased through or by the
assistance Of Art Stern. Mr.. Wat
@kins was disguised so that the chief
did not ecognize him. "a fellow by
the name Of Kilborn and another BY
\ the name Of Lamberton persuaded Mr.
Stern to get them 4 bottle Of bsoze
and It was taken to- Kilborn's room.
Lambertong and Swanson got the key,
Ito this room and went in and proceed
ed to sample this booze and Just about
had the bottle done away with when
Kilborna returned to the room and
caught them At it. OF course he was
mad because he realized that his
evidence was gone. But he was paci-
fled by being told that another bottle
could be secured next morning and it
was, and Mr.. Swanson, together with
Mr.. w atkins. and Mr.. Kilborn were
present at the dedication of this sec
ond supply. Mr.. Watkins went
through the motions Of drinking some
of this liquor while the chief and the
other fellow went him one better and
doWned a drink or two in good shape.
Also Mr. Watkins at various times had
been taking down the conversation as
to hints where to get the booze and
as the Saying is chad the dope on the
chief. The whole aft air was regular
rube trick and we are surprised that
Ernie fell for it. The .upshot Of this
whole affair is that the chief $resig-
nation. was asked for and obtained.
Personally we are mighty sorry as in
many ways he has made q splendid
police officer. But, as such an officer
and representing the law, he, got in
bad and he himself. is to blame for
his present predicament. This should
be good lesson to any future officer
I who should profit by the mistakes Of
his predecessor. \, ss Ss5s-75s3 s7z5ss -.
