Orders have been issued by Captain Ferguson of Company L for a camp of instructions on July 3rd and 4th. This will be necessary to acquaint the men with the duties they will be called upon to perform at American Lake in August. Every member not on furlough is required to attend this camp or be courtmartialed. It is not known as yet just where the camp will be held as several pla ces are under consideration. It la possible that if satisfactory arrange ments can be made with the manage ment of Wenaha -springs that the company will leave on the early train July 3rd, and march from the station to the springs. Enroute actual con ditions will be followed as though pro ceeding through a hostile country. Scouts, advance and rear guards will be thrown out; the quartermaster's train will be guarded and field in struction will be given. Arriving at camp guards will be posted with reg ularly conducted guard mount and the two days will be spent in actual work. The regular semi-annual muster and inspection will be held in the Armory on the evening of Thursday, June 30th, and the government and state property inspected at that time. Lieutenant Storie has now receiv ed his commission so Company L has a full quota of commissioned officers. Marshall Spell has ben appointed acting first sergeant by Captain Fer guson and Eugene Blanchet as quar termaster. Examinations will be held shortly for the other non-commissioned positions and every member of the company Is to be given a chance'. A request has been made by Cap tain Ferguson for a delinquency court and as soon as the order is received authorizing it several of the boys will be on the carpet for non-attendance at drill and failure to perform mili tary duty, as discipline is the life blood of a military company. The rifle team will be nominated in a few days and then It will be de finitely known who is to represent Company L at the state shoot CASTOR I A For Infant &&d Children.

Squad No. 3 on trap 4, broke 100 straight targets, the six experts shooting from the 20-yard mark. They were Jay Graham, of Long Lake, 111.; J. W. Garrett of Col orado Springs, Col.; H. F.

Mr. Pierce Is a railroad conductor and formerly lived here. through failures would bo practical ly impossible, would be to enact a banking law containing restrictions as to the investment of savings deposits, which would not only safe-guard the depositor, but be a protection to the bank as well. A law of this kind, when enacted. should be enforced and the penalty for the violation of any of its provi sions should be severe. With such a law, properly enforced, postal savings banks and bank guarantee laws would soon be a thing of the past. There are many other questions now being discussed by congress which will be for the benefit or Injury of the banking interests of this state and the incoming legislative commit tee should give nil these matters Its earnest consideration. Protective Committee. The protective committee of the association has been active and suc cessful In the approhenslon, prose cution and conviction of criminals who prey upon banking Institutions and excellent results have been ob tained. Postal Savings Banks. The postal savings bank bill, I do no think will affect the banks of this state. Its effect, if felt at all. will be In the larger centers, where the foreign population Is dense. The minute detail and red tape es sential In the conduct of such an in stitution would prevent Its patronage by many of our people and I have no fear of Its affecting our banking Institutions should It become a law. People now depositing their savings In our banks certainly have confi dence In them and I am sure will not withdraw their savings from our banks and deposit them with a postal savings bank for from one to two per cent per annum less Interest. Taxation of Bunk Stock. During the past year your presi dent has endeavored to ascertain what method was pursued by the assessors of the various counties of the state in making their assessments on bank stock and I was much surprised to learn that almost every assessor had a plan of his own and that the law was not being followed except in a few cases. I have never believed that banks should carry more than their Just proportion of taxation, but from the Information I have gathered I know that they are doing so, wherever the assessor follows the law. Take Mult nomah county for example: The as sessor claims to assess real property at 75 per cent of its real ground val ue and 60 per cent of the cost of the Improvements, while banks are as sessed for the full value of their stock, ascertained by adding to the capital the surplus and undivided profits. The law clearly provides that real estate shall be assessed at its real value and it Is unjust and un fair to assess real estate at less than It real value and to compel banks to pay taxes upon their capital, sur plus and undivided profits. This is an Important matter and I wish to urge and impress upon the bankers of Oregon the necessity for taking steps that shall enable the bankers to properly present the ques tion, of taxation to our state officials. I would also call your attention ana suggest that at our annual meetings we take up and discuss practical sub jects pertaining to banking. Much good can be accomplished by an in terchange of ideas and I hope that we will give this feature of our work more attention in the future than we have in the past. I would be ungrateful, indeed, should I not at this time express to the members of this association my gratitude for the great honor confer red upon ne in my election as the president of this association at our last meeting and believe me when I say that I am truly and duly grateful.
