"Known For Its Strength"
What It Means
Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ence between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One of the
functions of
A Bank s Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec
tion the depositors have.
This bank has a
Capital of .... 200,000.00
Surplus Fund of . . 50,000.00
Undivided Profits . . 25,000.00
Additional Shareholders
Liability . . . . 200,000.00
' A TOTAL OF 475 000.00
This means that this bank must lose prac
tically half a million dollars before its depo
sitors could lose a cent.
This protection is for YOU.

That North Yakima Is rapidly as
sumlnir metropolitan aspects from I
commercial standpoint, In shown that
n clearing house will soon be cntalv
llshed by the bankers of that thrlv
1 inn city. The Republic says:
Definite Announcement was made
thin morning by Charles Heath of tin
Yakima Valley bank that within a
short time the bank of North Yakima
will be conducting clearing house op
erations. The bankers have consider
ed the feasibility of establishing a
clearing house here for some time and
final arrangements have been com
pleted. The rear mom of the Yakima Na
tional bunk will be fitted up for the
clearinghouse. A manager of the sys
tem will be elected at the next meet
Ins; of the bankers.
Ml naliy Rflparta to Be Made.
This announcement means progress
In the business affairs of Worth Yakl
H mm. It means that each day a report
); will be issued by the manager, stating
the clearings of that day. Kach hank
will send Its clearings to the house and
the aggregate amount of all the banks
will constitute the clearings for tnat
day. 1
This svstem is. as Is known, carried
on In all the large cities of the United
Stateh. North Yakima will be one of
the few towns of Its bIzc of the country
that can boast of a Hearing house.
That fact certainly Is a splendid bar-
ometer of prosperity In Itself. The
system will rate this city with such
cities as Seattle. Portland, Spokane,
and Tacoma. and ts reports wlH be
published with theirs.
There are periodicals published and
circulated through the country which
devote their pages to bank clearings,
and the comparing of them with the
different cities. All banks or associ
ated banks, are dealt with In this man
ner and North Yakima will, of course,
be rated among the prosperous and
thrifty associations of America.
Manager t to Do Chown.
Everything is In readiness for the
, . work to begin. All that remains to be
tlone Is to elect a manager and
to fit up his room In the Yakima
Bank building. Bankers and property
.owners In general are much pleased
over the decision reached by the asso
ciated bankers, nnd North Yakima has
' Waa- another factor In the building
of a great city.
MAY CONDEMN DAM SITE.
Govrrnmrnt May He Forced Co Seize
land Nir niackfoot.
Thomas L Martin of Boise, a spe
cial agent of the Indian office, who
spent the greater part of last Bum
mer and fall along the Blsckfoot riv
er, .purchasing land for the yern
ment from settlers whose holdings
will bo flooded by the big Blackfoot
storage reservoir, which will furnish
water for the irrigation of the Fort
Hall tract, Is In the city today to
closo up matters relating to acquir
ing title to the reservoir site, says the
Pocatello Tribune.
Only a few hundred acres remain
yet to be purchased by the govern
ment, and Mr. Martin Is 6f the opin
ion that this can be secured without
a great deal of trouble. When asked
whether or DOtJt would be necessary
to bring condensation ults, Mr. Mar
tin said:
"1 hope not. When the few re
maining settlers realize the reason
ableness of the government's position
In this matter, 1 am sure they would
let go of their land without further
trouble. However, If It becomes ne
cessary, condemnation suits will be
brought, because It 1b not the desire
of the Indian office that work of
construction of the reservoir should
be delayed by failure to attain title to
the few remaining acres."
The government has been very lib
eral with Bloekfoot settlers along the
site of the proposed reservoir. An
average of close to $20 per acre has
been paid for land which will be
flooded, and this Is considerably
higher, says Mr. Martin, than any In
dividual would offer.
There Is a firm belief that work
on the Hlackfoot dam will begin as
early this spring ns the weather will
permit.
Mr. Martin will leave In a few days
for the site of the reservoir, where
he will have a final conference with
recalcitrant settlers, and unless mat
ters are brought to a head, he will
put In a few days gathering evidence
upon which to base suits for condem
nation of the remaining land.

SALOONISTS FIGHT CLITBS.
Seattle Liquor Donlcrs Declare Flnguc

Holding that Seattle Is threatened
with a plague of so-called "clubs,"
which -are organized for the purpose
of dispensing liquor refreshments on
Sundays ami at other times when the
law places a ."ban on retail liquor
selling, the Seattle Liquor Dealers'
association, In secret conclave, named
a committee to wait on Mayor Miller
and protest against the toleration of
the new "clubs."
'Five new clubs have been organ
ized, ostensibly on social lines, hut

when the law makes the salouiis
close," Bald a member of the associa
tion "The retail liquor dealers will
try to find from Mayor Miller how
far the law will protect them against
this evil"
President James Weir named the
following committee to take charge
of the fight against the go-called
"clubs." and to take action against
the Independent Brewing company,
which is making a fight to take over
a license for a saloon under the name
of "Doss & Jim," located on James
street; Jumes Weir, chairman; Pat
rick Sullivan. Henry Beck and Joseph
Qotdle This commute was instructed
to call on the mayor and the license
and revenue committee of the coun
cil and to make plain the fact that
the saloon men's organization will
take legal steps to protect members
holding liquor licenses, and will seek
to eliminate the new clubs, If It can
find legal way to do It ,
"The fact that a club, organized
under existing conditions regarding
Sunday closing and the like, applies
for a federal permit to dispense li
quor and take out a state license,
should be sufficient evidence for Its
taxation by the Imposition of a city
license of $1000 a year," said James
Weir, president of the organization.
"TheBe new clubs are springing up
everywhere. There Is one over the
Olympus, another has been started In
the Lumber Exchange building, nnd
one or two more ore planned. We
take the position that If this thing
continues the saloon men will be com
pelled In self-protection to organize
clubs, each over his own saloon.
"We are In favor of obeying the
laws, but If we do that and play
sijunre we believe we are entitled to !
a square deal from the law and the i
lawful authorities, state and city."
