sworn in. They patrol streets in ci-

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
financial statement of the Planters
Bank and Trust Company of this
city. We invite careful perusal
of the same, and we believe that our
readers will class the bank among the
strongest in this section of the state.
The statement speaks volumes as
to the splendid management given
the Planters by its able corps of Of
ficers. 1t has already leaped into
the million-dollar class land if we
judge the future by the past, it will
be in the two-million dollar class ere
long. Cashier Perkins and President
Chachere are determined to place it
there, and that is guarantee enough
that it will soon reach that coveted
destination. Accommodation to Gus

word, and with the financial strength
behind it, it is certain to reach the
goal of Perks" ambition.

SNOW VERY DEEP

per Water Shed of Snake
River Insures Ample Water.

The depth OF snow in the jackson
lake country and the upper watershed
of the Snake river increased rapidly
during the first part of March. accord
ing to reports just received at the
headquarters of the United States re-
clamation service in Burley, Idaho.
There is now ample snow so that the
reservoir at Jackson lake will fill with
out any question.
In the southern part of the jackson
hole basin, the snowfall is still much
lighter than usual and is estimated to
be only 60 per cent of the average
depth. The streams that are fed by
this watershed flow into the Snake
river below the Jackson lake reservoir
and are mainly depended upon for the
natural flow. Present conditions would
indicate that these streams will not
continue in flood as late as usual.
