ARE ANXIOUS TO
HAVE BANK OPEN
Closed Willow Institution Will
Likely Open Soon Again.

Concerning the banking situa-
ton at Willow River the Pine
County Farmer of Oct. 9th writes
as follows:
A meeting of the depositors
and others interested in the
early reopening of the bank here
was held at the school house
Tuesday afternoon with a good,
representative attendance. Mr..
Lamson of Hinckley. was present
and gave valuable counsel and
advice, and as a result Of the
meeting. the situation has been
greatly clarified and improved.
1t would not be at all surprising
to see the bank open and doing
business normally within six
weeks or two months from now,
under a reorganization plan that
will give us a good, stable and
efficient banking institution with
the minimum of loss to all con-
cerned. Messrs. Hodek and Dahl
were present and publicly stated
that they were ready to pro-
coed with the reorganization just
as soon as the necessary prelim-
inaries are disposed of, the inn
portant one being the matter of
the school district business. AS
soon as this matter is out of the
way, and it appears to be on the
verge of settlement with no
great loss to the district, the
main obstacle disappears and the
reorganization will be at once eff
fected. There is no question of
the ability of Messrs. Hodek and
Dahl to handle the situation to
the satisfaction of the entire
community, since they are capa-
BILE. experienced bankers, famili-
ar with the territory here, and
have plenty of capital to take
over and carry on the business.
