BANK TO HAVE SWELL
QUARTERS
Bank of Emmett to Remodel In
terror and Extend Building
to Sidewalk.

4 Plans for the complete remodelinf
of the interior of the Bank of Em
NETT and the extension of the banking
room to the inside edge of the Sidewalk
have been received from the architects
and when completed will transforn
the home of that institution into one
+ of the prettiest, most convenient anG
! most modern in the Northwest. Thf
phenomenal growth of this bank de-
mands more room and while this fea-
ture is being taken care of the idea
of combining attractiveness and con-
veniences for their patrons as we'll as
the employees has not been lost sight
of.
A portion of the plans have already
been carried out-the building of new
and enlarged vaults, one ON the ground
floor and storage vault in the base
ment. A. eapacious vault for the ex-
elusive use of patrons will be fitted
up with safety deposit boxes Of var
ious sizes.
The plans for the other improve
ments consist of taking over the pres
ent quarters of the Wilton real estate
office, where the bookkeeping ma
chimes will be operated. The front
will be extended to the pillars on the
edge of the sidewalk, and the entrances
oh q prrod f~O,,, tho c;Jo ~ H. x-,;JJI<
The small windows along the east side
will be increased in size SO as to give
a view of the street and provide more
light. The fixtures will be moved to
the west side of the room, leaving
corridor on. the east. Patrons of
safety deposit boxes win have lobby
in the rear next to the vaults, and
there will be private room for Gus
toners and another for the directors
in each corner Of the front. The
cashiers office will be bewteen the
directors office and the quarters of
the tellers. The tellers will be Sc
parated by cages. Complete new fix
lures with marble walls will be in
stalled and the wainscotting of the en-
tire room will be marble. The floors
will be tiled.
There were many other things Cash

were in the plans for betterments that
came in too rapid fire order to catch
them all, but the above are the main
features. That this will be a banking
plant to which Emmett people VIII |

DOPE ON PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION
Situation Appears to Favor Re-
publican Success Rather
than Democratic.

1t is little early to make depend
I able estimates on the results of the
presidential election, but perhaps ii
lis TINA to start "the DOPE so that all
those who like to figure ahead may dc
so with the knowledge that they are
! in order.
In little more than two months
/ the voters of the United States will
cast their ballots and in big country
like ours, the varied interests and
prejudices, no result can now be set
down as assured. But there are GER
| tain settled factors which can be con-
sidered and there are definite signs in
some places which can be read. The
subject is interesting.
There are 531 electoral votes. In
order to win a candidate must have a
clear majority, which is 266. If no
candidate should have a majority
there is no election and the choice of
a president goes to the present con-
gress, where each state would have
one vote. As q majority of the
states are represented by congress-
men majority of whom are Repub-
licans, this improbable situation would
result in the election of the Republi-
can candidate.
The problem is for either Senator
Harding or Gov. Cox to get 266 elcc-
toral votes.
The Democratic candidate starts
with an advantage. He will have the
"solid SOUTH" eleven states in which
the Republicans have no show, usual
ly because large number of the cit
izens are disfranchised by state laws,
states in which 1utocracy is estab-
lished as firmly as It was in Prussia
six years ago. These states are:
Alabama IL, Arkansas 8, Florida 6,
Georgia IA, Louisiana 10, Mississippi
10, North Carolina II, South Carroll
ma 9, Tennessee IL, Texas 20, Virgin
la II. Total 126. Republicans will
not even make campaigns except in
Tennessee.
To this start of 126 votes Gov. Cox
can probably add Oklahoma 10, max
ing 1876.
The Republicans have no states in
which the opposition does not have
chance to cast and count every vote.
But the Republicans have states which |
by recent elections and we'll known
feeling are almost as certain to 90
as the solid south is to 90
Democratic. Here are the Republican
states: Connecticut Z, Delaware 8,
Iowa Is, Maine 6, Massachusetts, Is,
Michigan Is, Oregon 5, Pennsylvania
38, Rhode Island 5, South Dakota 5,
Vermont 4, Washington T. Total 124.
The Republicans count confidently
IN Colorado s California ID, Idaho a,
illinois 29, Kansas 10, New Hamp-
hire 4. Total 66.
That apparently puts the Republi-
ans up to 1870, leaving them rs to 90
m. Here is where we get them:

Coal Sheds Burn.

An alarm of fire called the fire de-
partment to the coal sheds on the
switch tracks northeast of the Farm
ers Cooperative Exchange at l o'clock
this afternoon The sheds, almost
empty of coal, belonged to the Ex-
change, and two sections were des-
troyed. Two freight cars standing
next to the sheds, one loaded with
Fordson tractors for the M. & M.
Garage, caught fire, but the flames
were extinguished before much dam
age was done. The fire apparatus
made a quick run.
