Through the dark years Iowa land offered dollar

to financial in Idaho

Alexander Younie,s farmer, inves-
tor, capitalist. One !. of Bingham
County's men In whom the people
feel much pride ON account Of his
sterling worth and his success, is
Alexander Younie, president Of the
First National Bank.
AS a. young man Mr.. Younie was
in close touch with hardship and
poverty He knew what 1t was to own
good iand and not be able to- make
living on 1t. He lived in Iowa when
those fine prairie lands were being
offered at dollarJan acre and very
little was being bought. He held to
his purpose and farmed what he
could and made the best of the bad
situation from year to year while
times were getting better. He is no
stranger to. financial panics and hard
times for-she has lived thru many
such periods. Mr.. YOunie knew per-
.iods when 1t seemed that everybody
was poor, He lived in town where
the town was bankrupt; he lived in,
a county where the county was prac-
tically bankrupt; and In face Of that
condition 1t expended large amounts
Of money for roads and bridges, at
a time when q good many people
said they could never pay out, but
Mr.. Younie said the thing to do In
such cases was to hold steady and,
to use a modern expression, NOT
rock the boat" keep pulling to-
gether, keep the interest paid up and
in the years Of prosperity and pro-
gress, pay off the principal. A new
country with great influx OF new
settlers and them raising good crops
and selling them at good prices,
would solve almost any problem Of
public debts.
Mr.. Younie has studied financial
problems from SO many different |
angles, he has come to be regarded |
as a sage of finance in Blackfoot.
For twenty years he has been invest
ing in Blackfoot and the surround
ing country and has always been
somewhat ahead of his fellOwmen in
his views and his Judgment on what
the future would bring. The fortune
he brought to Idaho has been doub-
ling during the twenty years he has
lived here and now he has the varied
interests of real estate, power plants
and banking and considers himself
and his interests allied at once with
the farmer, the canal man, the stock
man, merchant and banker.

were made BY Thomas l.. Sloan, of
