Cashier F. L Meyers yesterday order
ed a three ton Manganese safe of the very
latest design which will be installed in
the new home of the La Grande National
Bank. This safe is near perfection and
approaches as near the burgler proof as
a mechanical genious has been able to
devise. This modern "strong box" will cost
the bank the neat sum of two thousand
dollars by the time it has been placed
upon its foundation. At the time the
order for the safe was given the steel
lining and doors for the cash vault was
also ordered these last items represent a
investment of four thousand dollar: mak
ing an expendture of six thousand dollars
in order to properly protect the value
intrusted in care of the bank.
A NEW RECORD
A glance at the ad of the La Grande
National Bank in this issue shows a new
record in the banking history of this city
and county. It is the first statement of
any bank in the county to show resources
in excess of $1,000,000. Also a new
record in deposits, being in excess of three
quarters of a million dollars. Such a
showing is only possible in a progressive
ai.d prosperous community. This country
is on the eve of many new records and
naturally the banking institutions are .the
first to reflect improved conditions.
NEW HOPE fOR DYSPEPTICS
We insist that associated with well
known factors, other undelying and pre
disposing causes are to be found in the
spinal anatomy which, before the rise of
the Osteopathic school were over looked.
We contend, with our experience in locat
ing and remedying these abnormal con
ditions of one's'anatomy usually along the
spine and in observing the benefits that
follow, that such physical defects (known
as Osteopathic "lesions") are primarily
the first causes of dyspepsia, as a usual
thing, while these better known factors
are but secondar causes.
SMALL GRAIN CROP
Threshing in the valley is practically
finished. It is estimated that the grain
yield this year will fall at least 50,000
bushels short of last year's yield. This
shortage is caused by numerous ranchers
