Editor La Grande Observer, Dear
Sir: Through the courtesy of your
paper, 1 wish to inform the patrons
of the Cove State bank, and the gener
al public, that the directors of said
bank have accepted my resignation as
cashier, and that my successor, . Mr.
Hugh McCall, of La Grande, baa been
duly elected, and will take charge or
same September 1. 1911. . Mr. McCall
needs no endorsement in rnu .iusj,
together with his host of acquaintan
ces and frlenda glvea him an enviable
position, which without doubt will
prove beneficial to alL ,
I sincerely trust that the bank at
Cove will receive ,the same liberal
patronage under . bis supervision by
the people of Cove, as has been its
pleasure in the past, for -we all know
that any business entrusted to his
care will receive prompt attention,
and will be handdled in a conserva
tive and systematic way.
It is with deepest regret that 1
leave the people of Cove, with whom
I have been associated for the past
five years; but greater opportunities
have called me elsewhere, and fcI
It Is a duty I owe my family and my
self, so therefore my resignation will
take effect September 1, at which
t.'me I leave for Portland, my future
home.; '.:'V' .
Very truly yours, ,
G. A. STOCK, Cashier.

An area of about 100 acrea in a cove

of dead underbrush and felled polea,
is now being allowed to burn Itself
ont near the Intake of the Beaver
creek pipe line, and with a patrol un

Mrs. Propeck Is also down to town
with him. ,, . ( .,. ; . ..
Ths fire if allowed to remain In the
cove and' If not disturbed by a heavy
wind, will eventually burn Itself out
without more damage to the surround

to stay its progress should a wind
arise, as the district is very heavily
timbered and Is littered with a vast
amount of dead brush.
