PORTLAND MARKETS
The run of livestock at the Port
land Union Stock Yards for the
week's opening was lighter in the cat
tle and hog pons with a slight in
crease in the sheop sheds, In com
parison with the offering of the pre
vious week, and the goneral market
conditions were very satisfactory.
Cattle Of tho 600 cattle submit
ted, a large proportion were well
bred Shorthorn and Hereford animals
carrying a fair kill. Thoro were vory
few "finished" cattle, but the bulk
wore good. Buyors from all along
the coast competed for selections
from the herd and the market took
a strong turn with a rise of 25 to 35c
In all lines, except first quality steers,
Which remained about steady. The
following quotations are made from
the sales of the morning:
Best beef steers, $8.60 to $9; good
beef steers, 7.35 to $8; best beef
. a i m w . J I ....
good cows, $ 4 to $6.75; best heifers,
$5.75 to $6.76; bulls, $4.50 to $6;
calves, $8.50 to $9.25; stocker and
feeder steers, $4.50 to $7.25.
Hogs More thnn 800 hogs found
their way to a steady market at last
week's prices. The feature of the
day was a $15.65 top, by a carload
of hogs from La Grande, Ore., ship
ped by Tom Johnson. This should
not be taken as representing market
conditions, because tho load carried
exceptionally heavy kill, and were
a good buy at the advanced price.
General conditions warrant the fol
lowing quotations: Prime light,
$15.50 to $15.60; prime heavy,
$16.40 to $16.60; pigs, $13.60 to
$14.10; bulk, $15.50.
Sheep There hav9 been some
choice herds passing through th
yards at contract prices somewhat
p.bove the prices quotod, but these

market, and cannot be used In bal
ancing the market. The current pri
ces are: Western lambs, $11.50 to
$12; valley lambs, $10.60 to $11;
yearlings, $8.60 to $9; wethers, $8
to $8.60; ewes, $3.60 to $6.50.

Judge Will O. Steel, of Oregon,
who is known locally as tho "Father
of the Crater Lake National Park,"
told this story at a recent national
park conference In Washington:
"Forty-six years ago I was a farm
er's boy in southern Kansas and at
tended school five miles distant. My
lunch was carried in a newspaper.
One warm day in May or June I sat
in the schoolroom eating the contents
of that paper. When through I scan
ned the columns, reading the short
articles, among which was a descrip
tion of a sunken lake that had been
discovered in Oregon. It was said
to be 6,000 feet below the surface of
the surrounding country, with verti
cal walls, so that no human body
could reach the water. In Its center
was an Island 1,500 fet high, with
an extinct crater in tho top. In all
my life I never read an article that
took the Intense hold on me that that
one did and I then and there deter
mined to go to Oregon and to visit
that lake and to go down to the wa
ter. "I had two brothers In Portland
at the time. Two years thereafter I
went to Oregon with my parents and
we were met at the steamer landing
by my brothers. Before getting over
the dock I asked them where that
sunken lake was, and found that they
had never heard of it.
"It was seventeen years before I
was able to find anyone who had
ever heard of it. Then I was told
that thore was something of that
sort in southern Oregon, but my In
former was not sure. Nine years
later I found a man who had actually
ocen it, and gave mo a good descrip
tion of it that greatly Increased my

This phrase clearly expresses the
relationship existing between our

fully understands, and the new de
positor soon learns its meaning. We
believe that It is iniMirtant that the
new depositor be niude to feel per
fectly at home as soon as possible;
to feel that he lias in fact become a
member of our "FAMILY' OF I)K

fostering of this spirit makes for the
pleasant continuance of banking rela

had much to do with our growth.
