PROTECTING THE STANDING
TIMBER.
It will be noticed that Union-Wallowa
timber owners met Saturday
and perfected an organization whose
purpose it will be to protect the for
ests against fire. A very laudable
movement, and a movement that
should not interest timbermen alone,
but should get close to the heart of
every true citizen of the state.
Do you know that Oregon has 637,
000 people within her borders and
that 87,000 of this number derive
their living from the timber? One
eighth of the people of this great
state work in the lumber manufac
turing business in some capacity.
Then aside from this direct connec
tion there is a stream of money pour-
The Test
Time determines whether the policies under which a bank Is oper
ated are safe.
This bank has been in business twenty-six years.
It has grown steadily until It has become one of the strongest and
most prosperous financial Institutions In the West.
The soundness o. .u policies Is attested by the long list of conserv
ative business n.en transact their business here; also by an
earned surplus of VW'ij-.M, the work of time and the res'ill of
conservative managera.? n.
This bank has facilities for taking care of more hlgh'grade Dull
ness and offers its services t o those who appreciate the best in
banking.

Can you' not see . what the cai-
less picnic party who lets a fire get
away in the forest does to the in
dustry of the state? What a care
less smoker may do when he is trav
eling through the forest? It is no
wonder the state has placed', the'
courts and the, law behind the fire
patrol associations which, are being
organized all over Oregon. j
Always .keep in mind: Protection
of the standing timber means pro- j
tection to business; protection to the
industry that feeds 87,000 of the
state's inhabitants, and protection to
thousands of smaller Industries.

Underwood Grows Weary.
Washington, June 24. Representa
tive Oscar Underwood,, author of the
tariff bill, is sickened of tariff talk
He is side-stepping all persons who
wish to "talk shop." He is trying
to ease his tariff brain-fag. So anx
ious is Underwood to avoid thinking
or talking about the tariff, that he
was literally driven from the White
House by a tariff discussion. He told
the story today. Underwood had call
ed to discuss an important matter
with the president, who had not ar
rived at the executive offices. While
waiting in the office of Secretary Tu
multy, Underwood was cornered by
tnother visitor to whom he was in
troduced. For fifteen minutes Un
ilerwood, with his usual blan anil
patient smile, listened to his new
acquaintance's tariff views. Then he
fled. ; He left the White House with
out seeing the president, putting off
his business until a time when he rhall
escape without being buttonholed by
persons desiring to talk tariff.
Again Enters Bachelorhood.
Washington, June 24. President
Wilson today is preparing for his first

elor" after June 28, when Mrs. Wil

The president may not see his sum
mer residence until September r pos
sibly October. He says he will not
Irave here until the spec'.al sesison of
congress adjourns, and he is insisting
that ity stay on the job Icng enough
to pass both the tariff and currency
bills.
Several White House bachelor par
ties arc planned by the president
while he is "baching it." He has in
vited some Princeton professors and
old college chums to visit him at the
White House during the summer.
Automobile riding, golf and view
ing base ball games will be the prin
cipal summer diversion of the presi
dent He does not plan trips away
from Washington, except to the Get
