of his industry, and a new resolution
tbat 1926 would see further
progress.
And there was improvement In
the agricultural situation la 1925.
That Improvement, however, fell far
short of a general prosperity. The
farmer realises that nothing but a
prosperous, stable agriculture will
serve as a basis of prosperity for
our nation. He feels greatly- en
couraged now, because be thinks
that the whole nation la coming to
that same realisation. The farmer
feels that business men, tbe manu
facturers, the bankers, are coming
nearer to a new appreciation of tbe
agricultural situation,, and are be
coming more eager to do those
things which will make possible tha
prosperous agriculture that Is de
sired by all." . . , ,- .

SURETY CONCERNS ACT
Should Judge Sign Petition
Bank Would Get $25,000
. . Bonds From Co. -
In all proballty. Circuit Judge A.
L. Leavitt will today consider a pe
tition from the First State and Bar- .
lngs bank, defunct, brought by
Frank Bramwell, atate superintend
ent of banks, and Joined In by a
committee ot depositors, allowing
tbe institution, - formerly , a bank
here, to enter into a contract with
the Klamath county treasurer, th
county court and a number of sur
ety companies, for tbe payment of
balances and the recovery ot bonds.
It is understood that the eonnty
court favors the procedure. Judge
Leavitt has In no way Indicated what
his position may be.
Tbe First State A Savings bank
was closed on January 18, 1911.
Five surety companies stood behind,
R, guaranteeing 1175,000 of county
funds. The companies were the Na
tional Surety company, the Fidelity
A Deposit company, the United
States Fidelity a Guaranty company,
the New Amsterdam Casualty com
pany and tbe Aetna Casualty at Sur
ety company. , ., ..,'-., '
Big County Deposit
On January 18. 1921, the eonnty
funds en deposit amounted to 1114,
129.84. The county treasurer also
had on deposit $5,118.11 of lrrige- (
tlon and drainage district funds;
These were not secured by any of
the $175,000 of the surety company
bonds, because in tbe recent cast
of tha State of Oregon against Crook
County bank, the Oregon supreme
court held that the Irrigation and
drainage fund were not county
funds, and hence wer not covered
by surety j company bonds given to
secure county funds.
As partial settlement, entered Into
by mutual agreement, the five sure
ty companies In April, 1921, paid to
Klamath county tha sum of $119,
655.08. This waa the result ot the
county's claim for loss of deposits.
In January, 1914, Klamath coun
ty. In tha name ot the Stat of Ore
gon, brought action In circuit court
to recover the balance of $25,000
of county funds. '
