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.

rate rise In building material prices,
which tends to encourage moderni
zation projects and new small house
projects to go ahead. Real estate ac- '

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.

t Those New York C. C. C. workers who were sent back
' cast Ijecau'sc of rioting in a Giant county camp found that
their rotigh and ready tactics got then mwhertPout west.
The west always has been more or loss noted for its discour
aging of undesirables, and there's no surer way of removing
I'.n undesirable than shipping him home. 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. And perhaps to find in tho end, that you actually
have.
A New York navigator has invented a sextant that will
find the sun behind the heaviest clouds. Ho should be able

"Are hard-boiled eggs beneficial to a girl just over Hen
