Gain of Ten Million Shown for the
Twelve Months When Comp
troller's Call Was Made.
GAINING SINCE JANUARY FIRST
From Us agent In London, the Union
acmo nsi rcceivru a dook dl pnuia
raphlo views taken along the line of
road during 1858 to 1868. Tha ancient
relio has been placed among the archives
of the advertising department.
One picture in 'the book of views, un
covered In London, shows the business
portion of Omaha and Is supposed to
have been taken about 1859. It la thought
to be about the earliest photograph In ex
istence. Evidently It was taken from the
high school grounds and about all there
was to Omaha at that time were a num
ber of small houses scattered along the
lower end of Dodge. Douglas, Farnara,
Harney and Howard streets.
The book also contains a picture of
Salt Lake City, showing the site of the
Mormon temple, with building material
scattered about and Just to the east the
old tithing grounds.
Family of Milton -Walker
is to Get
Workmen Insurance
The body of Milton Walker, killed
while at work on a picture show building
at Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets, baa
been taken to Irving, Kan., for burial.
No sorvices were held here. Mra,
Walker and three children, Myra. Harold
and Leroy, accompanied the body.
Robert Butke. contractor for whom
Walker was working, stated that tha
bereaved family will come within the
workmen's compensation law, although
the amount has not been determined. Mr,
Butke said he carried Insurance for such,
cases. He added that Walker was a
laborer and that his death was due to
an accident.
The matter of compensation will be
taken up as soon as Mrs. Walker returns
from Kansas.
A Rln of over $10,000,000 In
Greater Omaha bank deposits during
the last year Is shown by figures
compiled by the banks at the call of
the comptroller.
Bankers cite the Increased pros
perity of the banking territory tribu
tary to Omaha as the reason for the
big gain.
On December 31, 1915, the date
of the last call. Greater Omaha banks
bad on deposit a total of $65,388,
188. as compared to $54,920,609 ex
actly one year before that.
Loans and discounts by Greater Omaha
banks also showed a big increase ever tb
flgurea for a ynr ago. At the riose of
1913 loans and discounts were $4S,1!W,554,
as compared with t39.737.0O4 the year be
fore. This was a gain of t1.VVt.6i0.
Oeposlts ott (VHlnlns.
The latest call by the national comp
troller shows practically no change In
total deposits from the last previous call,
about two months ago, on November 10,
1315. In fact, a very small loss is shown
in total deposits, about $284,000, which
bankers say has no significance.
Already the banks are receiving heavy
dejwsita since the first of the year, so
that if the comptroller's oall had been
made a few Jays later a big gain instead
of practically a standstill would have
been recorded for the two-month period.
The loan and discount comparison with
two months ago shows almost 2,8oO,000
gain. Indicating a greatly stimulated
business since early In November.
A notable fact brought out by the last
bank call Is that the Omaha National
bank now haa a combined capital, sur
plus and undivided profits totaling 2.000,
000. It is the only bank In the state
showing such a large figure for the com
bined total of capital, surplus and un
divided profits. The United States Na
tional bank comes closest to equaling it.
with a combined total of about $1,800,000.
