Saw Mill at Cooley
Lets Out Big Bunch Of Men

The management of the big
saw mill at Cooley is laying off
a large number of employees,
about two hundred of them, and
sixty-five came down on the
train this morning from that
place and the rest Of them are
expected to pass through to-
morrow.
This does not mean that the
mill is to shut down entirely, as
one saw will be kept going in
order to not get behind on
their tie contract with the Santa
Fe company.
Report is that the reason for
letting out so many men is on
account of the money stringency,
hence making no demand for
lumber, but that a full force
will be put on again just as soon
as things open up.

Banker Talks Of Financial
and Other Conditions

hurried business trip to Phoenix
and other localities, returned
Sunday. Mr.. Smith is one of
the best boosters for Northern
Arizona and Navajo county, and
he returns with his usual op-
tomism for this locality.
Asked about conditions in the
Salt River valley, he said, They
appear to be very hard hit. The
farmers are consigning their
cotton for merely enough money
to pay for the picking, and gin
ming, and without definite un-
derstanding of what they will
realize further on the crop. The
range, too, is sadly in need of a
storm. A good rain just now
would be a great blessing. And
really, unless it comes in the
near future, it looks like Sc
rious loss would come to the
sheep interests. The people,
however, seem remarkably cheer
full, and hopeful under the cir
cumstances. That is character
istic of Arizonans, you know. "
When asked what he thought
was our worst drawback, he
said probably there was no sin
gle thing that was SO unfOrtu-
nate as the failure of the Hol-
brook State Bank. Coming at a
time when money conditions
were already tight, it has been
a heavy blow to all our business
activities, and to the depositors
it was almost a calamity. "But
do you think it was the result
of dishonesty or crirninality or
the part of the oficers?" he was
asked. No." he said. Mr..
Raynolds was not dishonest. He
no doubt made mistakes, just as
we all do, but | have never re-
garded him in the light of a
criminal. In fact, he is the very
opposite, as people who have
had dealings with him will tell
you. If his desire to hold on,
in the hope that something
would turn up to save the ship,
led him to do acts which the
law terms criminal he should
be prosecuted, of course, but
that ought not to take on the
severity of PERSECUTION. !"
Mr.. Smith was questioned as
to what he knew of the reported
connection of the First National
Bank of Albuquerque with this
affair, and he replied: Il do
not know the details at all and
am not in position to discuss
them" /" But" he said, II
know the people and have had
intimate business dealings with
them for the last twelve years
or more, and have found them to
be reliable and straightforward
in every way. Indeed t h a t
banking concern has been a
tower of strength to Northern
Arizona in general, and to our
own county in particular. You
will find scores of men, and
business houses who have been
helped over the rough places of
life and given a helping hand
by the people behind the First
National. and there are few
financial institutions more de-
serving of the appreciation of
all our citizens than this one.
What do you think of the
outlook for the future, will we
have any more failures?" he was
asked. mo, | do not think so.
Money will be tight for some
time, and people will have to
restrain their disposition to
speculate, or even to make un-
necessary investments, but l
believe if they all cooperate for
the general good, and pay their
debts as fast as possible, we
will all pull through safely, and
