tor rGs Ss.1 THAN one THOUSAND
's'' UBLlClTY BILL"

Saturday afternoon Attorney Cen
eral LANCER held forth at Whitby
township hall and delivered his usual
campaign talk in which LANCER is
first, last and all the time. In the
neighborhood of 1000 attended the
meeting, although reports received by
The Courant vary the size of the
crowd from $50 to 1000.
Publicity Bill has had very stren-
uous campaign and at Whitby he was
not able to put a great deal of en-
thusiasm into his talk. A number of
statements made by the Attorney
General were challenged by members
of the audience but this did not wor-
ry LANCER any-he did not answer
them.
Among other things the Attorney
General tried to leave the impression
that if he was lying why were the
authorities letting him get by with it,
but he, at least we suppose he does,
as we'll as everyone else knows that
he can say anything he has mind to
until the first of July, when this bill
becomes effective.
Summed up Mr.. Langer's talk
amounted to about the following: &

At the close Of Mr.. Langer's ad-
dress three cheers went up for-"Fra-
zier for Governor"

BOTTINEAU TRIMS WILLOW

Last evening our bali team went to
Willow City where they won the
game with a score of to 0, in what
was a very fast game of ball. Will
liams was on the mound for Botti-
neau with Ferguson on the receiving
end, the battery did good work. A
couple double plays and errorless sup
port back Of Williams held the Will
low City boys all the way through.
Only. two Willow men succeeded in
reaching second base. One noticeable
thing about the game at Willow was
that the usual "rag-chewing" between
the two teams was not indulged in.
The locals as we'll as the Willow boys
always blamed this on former
catcher for Willow, but who is
not with them and for the Bottineau
boys to play at that city now is like
going to any other town to play. Ans
baugh and Ferguson each drove out
three base hits.

PARASITES IN GRASSHOPPERS

Yesterday afternoon County Agent
c. B. Aamodt had on display at the
Court House great number of sick
ly looking grasshoppers. It was found
upon cutting the grasshopper open
that maggot, varying in size from
1-16th inch to 1-8 inch was on the in
side of the grasshopper and gradually
killing him. During the afternoon
many of the grasshoppers which they
had on display died from the above
cause. This is good news to everyone
and County Agent Aamodt suggests
that whenever atgrasshopper is found
without the usual amount Of "life" he
should be cut open and examined for
the above parasite.

AT the close Of the war, many
Branch officers felt they could not
give any more time to the work and,
because there was so little to do ct
that time, no election Of officers was
held last year. But now that this new
work has been taken up, the Chapter
Exec. Comm. feel that they must have
at least one representative in every
town and village in the county.
According to our Constitution, an
election Of Branch officers should be
/ held sometime in June on or before
the thirtieth day. Therefore, the
4 Chapter Exec. Comm. requests that q
meeting be called for June the 18th;

The evening game was by far the
most interesting of the two and it
was here that the Bottineau boys got
their batting eyes and in the 9th in
ming made a total of six safe hits,
bringing in runs which proved too
much for the Brandon team to over
come 1t must be said that Crawford,
the Brandon Twirler, worked both the
morning and evening game and pitch
ed good ball throughout. Amsbaugh in
center field for Bottineau made
couple spectacular catches and also
threw a runner out on third base from
deep center field.

"Mr Mcmahon has brought in many
settlers to Golden Valley county, has
developed creamery plant and in
many other ways has helped to build
up the Golden Valley agricultural in

the county Golden Valley county and
in many ways aided in it's develop

supposed to inquire into the standing

Quotes Records on Cahill Loan
In Connection with the loan made
by the bank to J. I. Cahill of Grant
county Mr.. Cathro calls for the rec
ords in connection with the transaction
The charge was made by the Fargo
paper that $4,000 had been loaned on
land valued at only $3,863.
The records of appraisal show that
the 1919 assessed valuation, on which
was paid $93.77 in taxes, was S4,64O
on the land itself while the buildings
were rated at $4,000. The total secur-
lty for the loan therefor is $3.50 and
the loan was accordingly made on the
basis of less than 40 per cent of the
total valuation.
MI. Cathro said that he wished to
take the opportunity to correct an
other misstatement concerning the af-
fairs of the state bank. 1t has been
recently stated by l. " A. speakers
and the press of the organization that
the bank has from $8,000,00O to $12,-
100000 of public funds on deposit in
banks outside the state.
"Not one dollar of public funds is
carried in banks outside the state"
declared Mr.. Cathro.
Saves Banks 80 per cent on Reserve
@'At the present time about 20 per
cent of the reserve carried with the
Bank of North Dakota by 815 state
and national banks is carried in re-
serve centers to cover exchange re-
quirements. This is the minimum
amount that good banking business
will permit. This money is used sole
ly for exchange purposes and not for
deposits.
"Were it not for the Bank of North
Dakota these 819 banks that now car
ry the reserve with it would of necess-
ity be forced to carry their whole full
reserve fund in other financial CEN
ters.
Consequently there is now retain
ed in the state, thru the Bank of
North Dakota, approximately 80 per
cent of the money formerly sent to
the reserve centers of the Twin Cit
les, Duluth and the money markets
farther east"
The amount Of reserve Of private
banks in use outside the state in
covering expense today was approxi-
mately $550,O0O. AS explained by Mr..
Cathro this is no part of the public
fund of the state and it not on depos-
it for eastern banks to loan. It is re-
tanned there for the purpose Of pay
ing checks held outside the state, to
provide the banks customers with
drafts or exchange, and to cover the
daily float between banks doing busi-
ness outside the state thru the Bank
of North Dakota.

BANK LOANS MADE OUTSIDE OF STATE
MANAGER SHOWS MORTGAGE OF WHICH LANCER HAS BEEN
MAKING CAPITAL WAS MADE GOLDEN VALLEY PIO-
NEER NOT "EAsTERN LAND sPECULATOR"

Bismarck-"No Eastern land spec
ulator" has been loaned $4,000 by the
Bank Of North Dakota" declared F.
w. Cathro, manager of the institution,
tonight when told that Fargo news
paper alleged such a loan had been
made to Mr.. Mcmahon Of st. Paul.
''No loan of $4,000 has been made
to anybody inside or outside Of North
Dakota" continued Mr.. Cathro.
*However there has been loan made
to D. J. Mcmahon of Golden Valley
county. Mr.. Mcmahon is a pioneer of
the county and is, I believe, the man
who named the county,
The Mcmahon loan is on 1856 acres
of land, the records of the bank show.
The amount of $4,000 is secured by
properties valued at over $55, 900. The
details of the transaction are contain
ed in letted which Manager Cathro
wrote to citizen of Wahpeton in ans
wer to similar charge made at At
torney General Langer's meeting at
Hankinson the latter part of May.
Before giving The Courier News
permission to quote the letter, Mr..
Cathro said: I
realize that I am exceeding
good banking ethics and rules in di-
vulging the confidential relations be-
tween this bank and it's customers.
But there has been so much malicious
classification in regard to this loan
and one made to J. l. Cahill that
deem it wise to give the facts to the
public.
No Charge Backed by Facts
81 hope that this will serve as a
complete answer to all similar false
statements concerning the institution.
1t is noteworthy fact that without
exception not a single charge of
wrong action made against the Bank
of North Dakota has been sustained
by the facts in the case"
The letter which Mr.. Cathro wrote
to S. H. Snyder of Wahpeton, who had
inquired as to the truth of the remark
of r. H. Gallager, who was campaign
ing with LANCER, follows:
BISMARCK, June IT, 1870.
"Mr. S. H. Snyder, Wahpeton, N. D. {
"Dear Sir: Replying to your. letter
of May 81, in which you say one Gal
lager who was with LANCER at Hank
inson in your county a few days ago,
in speech at that meeting, in speak
ing of the work of the Bank of North
Dakota, used these words as quoted
in the Fargo Forum:
"He (Gallager) especially mention
ed that an uncle of John Baer's wife,
an eastern land speculator, Mcmahon,
who never lived in the state, borrowed
$4,000 on sandy land near Beach,
Never Made Loan of $4,000
@In reply thereto, I will say that I
never knew John Baer had wife, nor
If he had a wife-that Mcmahon is
her uncle. Moreover, we never made
a loan of $4,000 on land to any per-
son in North Dakota. We did, however
make four loans aggregating $4,000
to D. J. Mcmahon as follows:
"A loan of $4,000 on $40 acres, ap-
praised at $1O,670.
"A loan Of $500 on 1876 acres, ap-
praised at $20,225.
"A loan of $4,000 on $40 acres, ap-
praised at $4,000.
"A loan of $1,000 on 2,840 acres,
appraised at $4,000.
"Mr. Mcmahon can hardly be class
ed as a nonresident inasmuch as my
understanding is that he personally
attends to the cultivation of his land
