FORGING AHEAD Officers and directors of the First National Bank of -La Grande may well be proud of the condition of that lately reorganized institution as shown in, the statement published today in answer to call of the comptroller of the currency, The confidence of the public in rising to an emergency and re-opening a banking businfss here has -most certainly" riot been misplaced. ' The local bank shows progress of a most satisfactory type', both in the efforts for quick retirement of its obliga tion and in service extended to the community. ; Other communities in Eastern Oregon have recently had' bank openings through branches' of large Portland institu tions. Deposits in "former institutions in those cities are still frozen and relieved hone however by that method of banking relief. The grit, determination and confidence of ah entire com munity that rose to meet the La Grande emergency some months ago seems, well on tho way. to receive its reward through its own local institution". ' 1 ; . " . Twenty per cent of deposits have been paid. The three "twenties" in negotiable instruments are drawing interest. The twenty per cent in stock seems already to have much indication of return to par. ' , This newspaper has every confidence in the ability of those whd are today handling the destinies of our locally owned banking house. It feels their efforts and accomplish ments to date worthy of the highest commendation! and praise. , : of private work, was only 1 per cent below May. 1032. Both residential and non-resldentlal private work participated in this Improvement. "It was only the recent temporary curtailment of government work that kept the May total of all- con tracts so far below May last year," the study said. "Publicly financed construction contracts In May of this year amount ed to only 23,684.200 against (92.- 648.200 In May last year. The end of May found thla year 61 per cent behind last year In publicly financed construction but only 30 per cent behind In private work. "There haa already been a mode rate rise In building material prices, which tends to encourage moderni zation projects and new small house projects to go ahead. Real estate ac- ' tlvlty seems to be awakening from ita lethargy. of the state highway commission, will speak. . WALLA WALLA MAN NAMED" PORTLAND, Ore.. July 12 m Ap pointment of W. E.

THIS KIDNAPING ItACKET V A survey by the Associated Press reveals that kidnapers, operating throughout tho United 'States, have sought at leaso $b!)UjUUU from victims' families and friends in the. Inst five months. No one knows how much of that sum has been received, but it is certain that the racket has paid them more than a quarter of a million dollars in that time. , Here, in brief, are the kidnap demands of only the most notorious cases of the last five months: Charles BOettclcr It, Denver, Feb. 12, $00,000; Jerome Factor,' Chicago, April 15, $50,000; Peggy McMath, Ilarwichport, Mass., May '2, $60,000; Mary McElroy, Kansas City, May 27, $30,000; William Hamm, St. Paul, Juno 15, $100,000; John Factor, Chicago, July 1, $100,000; John J. O'ConncIl Jr., Albany, July 7, $250,000; August Luer, Alton, III., July 10, unan nounced at this writing. It is staggering! Amazing! ' ' We hear less of the beer and moonshine racketeers of lale, hut in their place are these kidnaping racketeers. It seems that now would bo the lime to make an example of every kidnajier caught give him the limit under the laws of tho state in which tho crime is committed. , ' And if he manages to beat the civil courts, it seems IJiat Uncle Sam might be justified in declaring martial law in some state some day and piiss out some of the old-fashioned arnvy type of justice. That's one tyc of court where clever lawyers aro unable to thwart justice witli a flock of technicalities. .FIND IT HERE Copy for thla Column most be in by 8 a. m.

At that, we feel sorrow for his folks upon his home-coming. "To fly through the country roads in a powerful car at night is to feel that you had escaped into another world," s;iys a writer.
