OAKLEY PROVIDES NINE MEN
FOR GRAND JURY

Nine of the grand jurymen whs
are investigating the closing of three
Burley banks and one Declo bank
are Oakley men. Their names fol
low: H. E. Bidgood, Boulder, a sub
urb of Oakley; c. G. Larson, John
L. Smith, Emil j. Hanzel, James
Port, Fred Bach, James F. Devine,
William F. Whittle and William II.
Poulton. The other grand jurors
are George Cook, Albion, foreman;
w. e. Smourh, Burley; James Tay-
lor, Almo; John A. Ellison, Malta;
f. c. Butler, l. Curtis Giles, and
James Mahoney, all of Albion.
There are two views in Burley in
regard to the manner in which the
affairs of the closed banks are being
handled. The Burley Bulletin seems
to voice the sentiments of one group
when it says, in its issue. of April g.
Depositors and others inter-
ested n the best possible liqui-
dation of the assets of the First
National Bank and the Com
mercial State Bank are gener-
ally pleased with the men now
in charge of them C. A. Rob-
inson, receiver of the First Ma
tional Bank, is a banker of ex-
perience and has been eminent
ly successful in his own affairs.
I. f. Warner, agent in charge
of the Commercial State Bank
is banker of proven ability
and is recognized as one of the
best collectors and businessmen
in southern Idaho. The real de-
positors and guarantors want
their money or as much of it as
possible out of these closed
banks and they are satisfied the
men now in charge will get it
for them.
The Burley Herald, on the other
hand, takes an opposite view. Under |
the heading "Peddling Hot Air.

stated, in part:
when theBulletin comes out
with a denfense of the manner
in which the two closed banks
are being liquidated, it is ped
ding lot bunk. The Bulletin
is trying to excuse the republi-
can state law that has had a su-
pervision over state banks
The people are not
satisfied with the way the
banks are being liquidated. -.

Oakley is one of the old towns Of
the state and has been built on sol
id foundations from the very start.
There have been times when other
cities made a better temporary
showing and some people were
tempted to do their trading where
there was a little more tinsel and
glitter But the storms OF the fl
nancial depression showed what
towns were built on the rock and
what ones on the sand.

A THOUGHT FOR
FOREST PROTECTION WEEK

A town is saved, not more
by the righteous men in it
than by the woods
that surround 1t. A township
where one primitive forest
waves above, while another
primitive forest rots below
such town is fitted to raise
not only corn and potatoes,
but poets and philosophers for
the coming ages.-Thoreau.

Oakley the Logical Trading Center for
People of Oakley, Basin Marion Is
land, Churchill, Golden Valley,
Cottonwood, Moulton, AL

Other Places

Oakley stood the test and is
stronger today than ever before. Lo-
cal business houses are in excellent
shape to fill the needs of their GUS
toners. The town is growing-not
in mushroom fashion, but solidly
and steadily. 1t pays one to trade
in such a town as Oakley.
The time is not far distant when
the people throughout southern Ida
no will look to the stores of Oak
ley as their shopping center.
