The impPomptu Guttarlst
The brooks are still running in
the country and red and brown
leaf-ships go sailing softly over
the smooth, white rocks, Some OF
the streams in the woods resemble
lily ponds, spread over as they are
perfect leaves which cling to

Impressive happened yesterday to-
ward dusk. Our party was stand:

Zion, and there Is no prettler spot

ON SOUND FOUNDATION

North Dakotans should keep con-
stantly in mind that although this
storm through which the ship of state
is passing is violent enough, and may
rip a few sails away. and possibly
crack off a mast or two, yet the hull
of our vessel is sound and staunch
and not a plank has been sprung.
Fundamentally this state is in a
much sounder position than almost
any state in the union, for two very
good reasons. .Ls5
In the first place, weahave had no
inflated land values in North Dakota.
We are not suffering from any burst
bubbles. In other agricultural states:
land values scared during the war to
double and triple their former aver
ages. Then came the crash. Business
done on the basis of such inflated
values was on rotten foundation.
Banks which lent money on $500 an
acre land, and found that the land was
really worth only $500 or $3.50 an acre
are facing grave crisis indeed.
But there is no such condition in
North Dakota. We had no land boom
worthy the name. and our land values
are about where they were five years
ago. They should be due for healthy
advance based on their earning capa-
city. That is a fundamental basis for
permanent prosperity which no politi-
cal and economic furry like the pres
emf one can take away.
The second cause for congratula-
ton is our very limited debt. No state
i'm the union has better basis for credit

What pitiab1e spectacle State
Bank Examiner O. E. Lofthus presents
who, although evidently an honest
man, has to admit on the stand that
he knowingly was party to the put
ting over of fake examination of the
affairs of the Observation-Disclosures
Bank of Fargo, and misled our justly
celebrated supreme court which took
the said bank under it's wing.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-02-24

When the Times-Record published
the story that several, nonpartisan
league politicians had secured money
from the Bank of North Dakota to
help out in the Townley shake-down
different kinds Of names that would
not sound we'll in print and were
threatened with having "our block
knocked off" by one or two irate fell
lows who had signed notes to, help out
Friend Townley. The money was Sc
cured through one of our local banks
and the notes guaranteed by money
sent here by the Bank of North Da-
kota. All this was said in our article
and we were branded as prevarica-
tor Of the frst-class by those who

the truth. Several Of our citizens. in
GLIDING one or two of those who sign
ed the notes, have been before the in
vestigating committee at Bismarck

the notes-which have since been paid
The bank took these notes in sthe
course of regular business becatsf
thew were absolutely good men finan.
cially who signed those notes and i.
was good. business to take them. But |
aside from all this the investigation
proves that the money received from
these notes went to Mr.. Townley te
nelp put over his political propaganda !
We have proven that we were right
by some Of the leaguers themselves
