The statements Of the two local
banks, published in today's Reveille,
make remarkable showing for the
financial condition Of the county, in
face Of the general shortage Of all
crops.
The most remarkable part Of the
statements is the large amount Of
the deposits, which total almost q
million dollars, being $963, ,397.57. II
will be remembered that this county
holds approximately half million
dollars worth of government bonds.

none Of them over two years old,
The combined business Of the two
institutions is ,965.93. The to-

There are two other remarkable
features about the statements not
above: neither bank owes anything
except to depositors and stock hold

n the two statements, One a bank
owns no real estate except its bank

fraction over $2700 worth.

versations with Captain Locke, but
failed to shake his story as given on
direct examination. Asked if it
was his belief that a small boat
could have been operated between

beth on Oct. "a, 1918, the day of
the wreck, Captain Davis replied,
you could have operated between
the Princess Sophia and the Este
beth in Peterborough canoe"
He stated that he was in the vic
unity of the reef from 1920 a. m.
until about 6 D. M on that day.
He repeatedly asserted that at any
time during the day and until late
in the evening, by use of boats and
life RATS aboard the Canadian ship,
al passengers could have been trans
erred off the wreck.
Records introduced

Victoria offices were also intro

Princess Alice to give all possible
aid, and of the expectation of Cap
tain Locke that he would be able
to float the ship off at high tide
