Sandpoint Bank Resumed Business. Last week the Sandpoint Traders' State Bank resumed business, after having been suspended since Nov. 16th on account of the financial stringency. A committee of business men had secured the signatures of 90 per cent of the stockholders to an agreement that they would not ask for more than 10 per cent per month on their deposits. On the first two days that the bank was reopened for business it received in deposits over $20,000 and but about $400 was drawn out. The Sandpoint people have co-operated with the bank officials in getting the institution back on its feet, and are entitled to credit for the manner in which they have assisted the institution and saved the credit of the town.
