Now is the time the cautious and frugal family provide for the yearly nnnlv of f . Manv are. and many will doubtless wish they had before another season rolls around. Vacation season is rapidly drawing to a close. Mothers are preparing for the coming school year, the pupils are becoming eager to take up their books and the hundred or more teach ers scent the battle from afar off and are eager for the fray. , While wheat gales bo far have been few a slight rise in price would doubt less result In many transactions. In fact several sales are being made daily. Grande Ronde will have more wheat money this year than for sev eral years. The prices are better than average and bo is the yield. Comptroller of the Currency Mur ray has decided to establish a credit bureau in the division of reports of the Comptroller's office. The credit bureau will be supplied with Informa tion from the examiners of the differ ent districts, who. through their. local associations, will transmit twice a year a report dealing with the condi tion of each bank in the district These reports will be combined and thus the bureau will be able to keep accurate information about the relation of large borrowers to the banks, the danger of over-extension of loans, the possibil ity of improper relations between banks and borrowers and the ques tion of discounts.

Few can pre dict with certainty the future of this locality three years hence, with the foundations for development that are now being made. The statistics of pig iron production in the United States prepared by James M. Swank, of the American Iron and Steel association, shown a gain of over 50 per cent during the first six months of this year, as com pared with the corresponding period last year, an Increase which Is un precedented In any six-months period In the history of the trade. The total production for . the lirst half of this year Is estimated at lt,022,?.4G tons, against 6.918,004 tons I nthe first half of l!tS. The figures for the slx months period just past are, however, still below the record made In the first half of 1907, when Iron produc tion was breaking all records. The output in that six-months period Mas 13,478,044 tons. While very little has been said about It, the fact is that the dairy In dustry of this county Is rapidly in creasing.
