caust, a flood, a reign of contagion or

event Is the Are In Bangor yesterday.
As far as death list goss the fire is of
mere passing note but the subsequent
suffering of the homeless and hose
out of work because their houses of
vwyiuyuieiu are m asnes will have a
nation wide effect. Already cries for
aid have gone out and while the dis

assistance should be accorded the af
flicted. Some day a similar disaster
may overtake Oregon and then t
state or Maine would feel Justlfle

Old Friends and New
Winning permanent, lasting friends is the work
of time, and this bank numbers among its clients
hundreds of banks and business houses with whom
it has had close relations for a great part of the
twenty-four years of its existence.
Our friends have helped to make this one of the
largest and strongest banks in the West. We have
helped in their making, too.
.... We welcome new friends and will attend to their
wants with the same fidelity which has cemented
our relations with our older ones.

Here's a Real Business Boomer.
The Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association of Philadelphia 1b going to
make the third of Its "trade booming"
excursions' a record breaking event.
Seventy-five of the members will start
on May 2 In a solid steel Pullman car
outfit and spend four days in visiting
the smaller towns within a radiusOf
200 miles. They will spend their en
tire time on the train, except when
holding receptions In the towns visited.
They will be provided with sleeping
ears, dining cars and club -car accom
modations, the train being practically
l traveling men's hotel of the highest
type.
No samples will be carried, but at
each town the trade boomers will
meet the nerchants of the place, giv
ing them an opportunity to become per
sonally acquainted with the heads of
the Philadelphia firms, an opportunity
many of them have not heretofore en
joyed, although probably having dealt
with each other for years.
