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. Pacific Banker.
This is the season of our heavy pay
rolls. Harvent demands hundreds of
extra men. Our logging camps are
busy, the busy season is now on. The
facts are that to secure sufficient
men to prosecute the work on the
Beaver Creek water project, the con
tractors are having to import Greeks
and are thinking of securing Japanese
In order to complete the work prior
to winter. If there la a place with
more activity In as many different
lines as in Union county, it is an un
usually active spot.
k Two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars wouid be a Very conservative es
timate on the Improvements that will,
be expended in the building of new
homes on the land soon to be placed
under Irrigation Just east of our "city.
This only tueans 100 new families
and It is possible and quite probable
that twice this number will be build
ing new houses, barns and furnishing
homes and farms with the required
stock and implements. 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. The amount of money paid
monthly to the producers of cream by
the Blue Mountain creamery here Is
Is large that when the creamery busi
ness was being developed just a few
years ago, that had the most enthusi
astic booster stated that ten years
hence the farmers of the county would
' be receiving the volumn of money

cows it would have been looked w$n
