bank the Mountaineer has the
following TO say:
"A meeting of the subscribers
for stock in the reorganized bank
which will succeed the State
Bank of Kooskia which closed
its doors recently was held in the
Opera House Saturday afternoon
to perfect organization. The
meeting was called to order by
F. E. Quist and F. A. Fem was
chosen chairman and l.. Fl. Cox
secretary. When the subscrip-
tion lists We're opened a few days
ago it was intended that the new
bank should start off with a
capital of SIS, 900 and $4,000 sur
pus. At the meeting it devel-
oped that this amount of stock
had been far oversubcribed and
that, too, by the people of the
territory Immediately tributary
to kooskia. The subscribers
present, a large majority of the
total number, without a dissent
ing voice resolved to make the
capital of the institution 500. 900
with surplus of 81 900. Even
at that figure some who desired
to secure more stock had to be
content with a few shares"

NO DUMPING" GROUNDS.

Complaints have been made
recently in regard to some peo-
pie making a public dumping
ground out of the public high
way which is absolutely violat-
ing the law. People are warm
ed against dumping their trash
on the public highway and if the
same continues, the guilty part
les will have to suffer the con-
sequences. There is a public
dumping ground east of the city,
and why some people insist on
making a dumping ground out of
the public highway is a question
hard to answer. Parties who in
the future presist in continuing
this practice should not be sur
prised to find themselves in the
clutches of the law.

ON OFFICIAL VISIT.

DR.. J. D. Adams, state veter.
marian and director of the Idaho
Bureau of Animal Industry, was
in Cottonwood Sunday. DR.
Adams is making a tour of north
Idaho, looking into the general
conditions of livestock from q
disease standpoint, and conferr-
ing with the various veterinari-
ans who keep general lookout
for any contagious disease
among the animals of the state.
Winter has been mild general
ly over the state and range feed
ing conditions good. This of
course lessons the demand for
hay and quite a lot of hay is still
in the stack in south Idaho.
Several cases of glanders has
developed in north Idaho and re-
ported to the state office by the
veterinarians. The premises
have been quarantined and test
made of all animals and the dis
eased ones destroyed. One case
of cattle scab also appeared this
spring. The herd is being dipped
before being turned on the open
range which will prevent the
disease from being spread to 9TH
er animals.
Quite a lot of work is being
done toward the eradication of
tuberculosis in cattle under the
accredited herd system, over 4O,-
600 head have been tested and
many diseased animals slaugh-
tered. An average over the
state of 312 per cent of all the
animals tested, showed infection

There is. at the present time
% accredidted herds in the state.
that is, this means that these
herds are under the supervision
of the state and federal govern
ment veterinarians, and are be-
ing tested regularly and kept
free from tuberculosis. There
is a total number of 500 head of
cattle in these accredited herds,
and about 1000 herds under
supervision, in process of accre-
ditation involving over 10000
head of cattle.
Recent legislation is better
enabling the state office more

industry from diseased animals
by restricting the importation
of any diseased animals and by
Standardization of disease con-
troll laws enabling the state to
cooperate with other states and
the u. S. government in disease

BANK OFFICIALS
UNDER ARREST
STATED THAT OFFICIALS OF
KAMIAH BANK VIOLATED
MANY BANKING LAWS.
(Nezperce Herald)

The closing of the State Bank
of Kamiah, on April 8, and ex-
aminations and audits of the
books and records of the bank
since that time by the state ex-
aminers. has revealed that prac-
tically every penal statute of the
banking laws of this state has
been grossly violated.
A conference was held at
Grangeville Tuesday night at
which j. G. Fralick, commission
or of finance and head state
bank examiner; H. G. A. Winter,
assistant examiner; Dean Dris-
col, first assistant attorney gen.
eral, and G.. c. Pennell, prosecut-
ing attorney for this county,
were present. At this meeting
it was decided to institute Grim
inal actions against George II.
Waterman, president of the
Kamiah Bank, Ward l.. Demp-
sey, cashier, and Leslie l.. Roth,
assistant cashier.
Criminal complaints were fill
ed Wednesday against these
three men and Sheriff Smith,
Thursday placed the three men
under arrest at Lewiston, and
brought them to Nezperce.
The charges against the three
officers of this bank are that
they made false statements,
false entries on the books of the
bank, and thereby deceived the
examiners for a long period as
to the actual conditions of the
bank.
1t is understood that had the
real facts been known that this
bank would have been closed
months ago.
Excessive loans to amounts al
most unbelievable had been kept
concealed by clever manipula-
tions of accounts betweem the
several Waterman banks, and it
was not until few weeks ago
that this was discovered, by plac-
ing an examiner in all the Wat
erman banks at the same time
and making a complete audit.
The affairs of the Kamiah
bank are such that the deposit
ors must suffer an exceedingly
heavy loss, and liquidation will
be a slow process.
Out On Bail
The three former bank of
ficials of the Kamiah bank are
now out on bail, until March 2,
at which time a preliminary
hearing will be held at Nezperce
before Probate Judge Ellis of
Lewis county.
KOOskia Bank to ReOrganize
The Bank of Kooskia, another
one of the Waterman string of
banks which was forced to close
with the four other banks will be
re-organized and will be in con-
troll of Kooskia people. This
bank, it is said. will pay 100cents
on the dollar to its old depositors
having been kept in splendid
financial condition by its cashier,
F. E. Quist, who refused, it is
stated, to become a party of the
Waterman muniplations, regard
less of the fact that they owned
the controlling interest in the
Kooskia bank. In regard to the

THINK TWICE.
(Editorial)

- ~eA~ - s~sNSAf eAAsSs
regarding any business
man, farmer or institution.
Gossip does more harm
than good where it is un-
true Most sensational
rumOrs turn out to be false
after they have spread
their poison far enough
that someone determines to
find out the truth. At a
time like the present some
people take particular de-
; light in drawing upon their
imagination to instigate
wild rumors of the suppos-
ed financial difficulties of
some firm or individual.
Several of the choice bits
of malicious gossip circulat-
ed have been proven to be
absolutely false by parties
who took the trouble to
ascertain the real facts by
investigation.
When you make a state
ment that a neighbor is
broke or nearly so just re-
member that you are injur-
ing his credit and tearing
down something that it has
taken years to build up. The
chances are that the man is
not as bad off as dame
rumor would have you be-
lieve. If John Jones can
not pay you what he owes
you it may be because
someone cannot pay him
what they owe. But the
economic condition of the
country is sound and those
who have the backbone to
stick to their farm or busi-
ness will weather the storm
and come out on top.
Many of our troubles are
of the mind and pessemes-
tic talk does not help mat
ters any but does positive
harm. 1t is a duty that
everyone owes to the COM
munity in which we live to
ask the speaker where Did
You Get Your Facts" when
they hear a report reflect
ing upon the standing or
solvency of a business firm,
farmer or banking institu-
tion which is a vital part of
the life blood of the COM
munity.
No propaganda circulated
during time of war was
more dangerous or more
damnable than these under
handed and unfounded rum
ours circulated to injum
some person or business in
stitution that has always
met their obligations prom
pity and honorably.
The last session of the
Idaho legislature passed a
law making it a felony pun
ishable by a fine of $4,000
or not more than five years
in prison or both for any
person to make, circulate or
transmit any statement,
rumor or suggestion which
is directly or indirectly de-
regatory to the financial
condition or effects the SOL
vency or financial standing
of any bank in the state of
Idaho. With this law in
force it would be wise to get
the facts before repeating
rumors. This should apply
to business firms and indi-
viduals as well as banks.

EXERCISE TO eeAUTIFY

CHICAGO-'eBe it business of pleasure. a girl must look to her looks.'' says Miss Florence Lawson, director of the physical department of the |. w. C. A. here
 A dab of powder and a dash of rouge are not enough says. Miss Lawson. The alert business girl of today realizes that a clear skin and bright eyes depend upon supple muscles and good circulation.
 More women are engaged in busi- ness and professions in this country than ever before. The necessity of being on time every morning and of ren1aining at a sedentary occupation all day tells upon woman's looks if she does not get exercise.
 '"The girls and women who stay at home. even though they do most of their .honsework. have a better opportunity for resting and for get ting fresh air than any woman em- ployed down town. The circulation of air in offices usually Is not Of the best and the tension of office work makes a woman look old before her time. if she does not take the proper physical care of herself.

DE MILE PICTURE
 A HIT AT STRAND

Midsummer Madness onenea a+ the Strand yesterday and is on ag.in TOT today In the first place. it is a De Mile production, which stamns it out Of the ordinary. and in the sec ohd place it is a picturization of Cos mo Hamilton's story, His Friend and His Wife"
 1t is a picturized reason why son, men go wild during the summer months. It is not just hubby how ever, Who breaks away from the con yentional. The woman in the story hook.
 Deep in the breast of every woman romance lives. It never dies. and well-attuned love making will arouse It sometimes even in the most con stant of wives. This one had a gem or playmate. He was everything put a lover-and then a real made border lover came into the picture and wife fell off the family schedule and-wel1, the telling of what she did would rob this delightful story in pictures of the charm that made it such a hit yesterday at the Strand
 To begin with, she and he were in a summer hunting lodge in the moun- talns far away from eyeryQ1e. It was moonlight; he was romantic, and he made love like no one had ever done before him. It's some story, and De Mile has added to it the master touch of his wizard hand. Its witch cry, its charm and it's wonderful cast and settings are combined to makS this Paramount super-special a fine entertainment. It remains for the next three days at the Strand.
 With 1t is seen a Mack Sennett comedy. that on any other program would be featured. for the cast fn- cludes Ben Turpin. Charlie Murray

Pauline Frederick proves her right to the title, The Goddess of Emo tion" in her latest film success, A Slave of Vanity which closes its en- gagen1ent at Mauks Columbia thea ter today. The story is screen yer sion of the drama Iris" from the pen of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, and is one of the best things this star has ever done for the silent drama
 The story is of a beautiful young widow who loses all of the wealth left her by her husband if she remarries. She has always been used to luxury and affluence, and when a young man of small means pleads for her hand she is afraid to step from her gilded throne to the humble atmos- phere which his income calls for. She is forced to admit she loves him, but Is afraid she will be dissatisfied and make him unhappy What transpires in the meantime is highly interesting and makes a delightful picture.
 An ever popular Bray photograph, a fast moving comedy by the Vanity Fair girls and a delightful musical proSram by the Columbia orchestra round out the program to perfection.
 Beginning tomorrow, the Columbia will offer May Allison in Are All Men Alike a film play that proves conclusively a vast difference be- tween the male members of society.

 Buck Jones broke into the lime light yesterday at the Hip and holds over again today in Just Pals a smart creation of the human interest type which has many delightful twists that served to make it good enter tainment.
 Buck discards many of his regimen tals and is seen as young fellow in a country town who hates work and never gets close to it if he can help. He is the champion ne'er do well of the village, until he is transformed by love, and comes out of his sleep to do things that make him not only the village hero but to win the girl.
 He is seen as Bim. the village no- account. and with him is cast clever little chap who plays a decidedly novel role with the big fellow. Just Pals holds over again to- morrow. and the comedy feature is Mutt and Jeff, the inimitable pair oi cartoon comics.
