IMBLE BANK A HEALTH! ONE.
Attention Is called to the first finan
cial . statement of the linbler bank.
You will observe that, while the
youngster has only been breathing the
snrt Hid Ha atmosDhere for a month,
niraariv it has almost 140,000 on de
Doslt. This means a great deal tor
that section ot the valley and is con
vincing evidence that Grande Ronde
uiosperlty is ever with us.
Imbler is not burdened with popula
tion and does not claim any big things
commercially. She Is a new town,
built In the heart of what is without
doubt one of the best fruit and grain
sections of the nortnwest, ana sue
iMHt an she has license to
grow. A bank Is needed in any heal-
thv community ana arouua a
will cluster all kinds of busiuo.s en

for she will be heard from from now

! Arthur Swift, an old friend of the
bdltor of this piper, is elected dele
gate to the republican national con
vention. We are glad that ne won,
for he Is a farmer and his slogan was,
"Why not send a farmer?" . Besides
representing Oregon republicans in a
most satisfactory manner Arthur
Swift Is an active farmert not a far
mer by proxy. He tills the soil and
combats with nature for his liveli
hood; .:
The greatest mistake in politics to
day Is the innate desire to ignore far
mers in politics. Why should not a
man who gets his feet on the ground ev
ery day know better what Is needed
for the country than the man who sits
in a steam-heated office the year
tound? Send more farmers, by all
means. Swift Is right In his slogan,
and the people of Oregon so saw It, ,
