A key in fact, a very special key will be the instrument which will disprove this claim at the Saturday grand opening cere monies of U. S. National Bank's new Roseburg branch building. This entire event evolves around a treasure chest a chest which will be located in the new bank budding and one which will be just waiting for those who po sess these special, or "opening" keys. Those who open the chest will find a generous assortment of coins inside and, at this time, will be asked to reach in and lift out all the money they can hold in one hand. Keys Mailed Out Just one stipulation. Please, no baseball gloves allowed! This week, treasure chest mail ers were sent to residents of the High Court Ruling Favors Power Co. SALEM (AP) - The Oregon Su preme Court today ruled that California Oregon Power Co. does not have to pay the state for fight ing a fire that started on land owned by the company. The decision affirmed Circuit Judge Orval J. Millard of Jackson County, who denied the state $40, 682. The 1955 fire started when a tree was blown across a power company line. The downed line ignited debris and brush, resulting in 4.200 acres of land being burned over. The law requires that the land owner must use every effort to extinguish fires, and liability is imposed for failure to do so. I ine supreme Court found that ; the power company's interest was umy uiai oi an easement, so it really was not a land owner un der the law. U. S. NATIONAL BANK Of Portland ROSEBURG BRANCH We appreciate the opportunity to help supply the furnishings for your new, modern building. We extend our best wishes for your continued growth in the Roseburg area.
