The bank statements of the <’ol-| umbia County Bank, the First Na tional Bank of St Helens and the First National Bank o f Scappoose which were published in our last issue is proof indisputable o f th-■ I substantial condition o f this section, and also the stability of our finan cial institutions for a bank statement is a reliable business barometer. It is true that general business in this locality has been somewhat quiet, the strike of the marine men | being to a large extent responsible. T h e prospects are that the strike will soon be settled and lumber cur riers available.
