Many citizens of Portland regard the new Federal Land Bank system as promising great benefits to the agricul ture of the Northwest, and they be lieve that locating one of these banks in Portland will greatly enhance the ex pected benefits to our farmers. Other citizens of Portland are indiff erent, especially our ieading bankers and financiers. Their fear is that they will be "tapped” for stock subscrip tions, to raise all or part of the $750,- 000 capital stock required to be sub scribed for a Federal Land Bank before it can begin to operate. They believe they can use their money to far better advantage than by tieing it up in the Federal Reserve Bank stock for an in definite period. They are not optomis- tic as to the benefit expected from the new system, and dislike to make an im mediate financial sacrifice for what to them looks like a will-o’-the-wisp. Thep are sincerely of the opinion that the joke would be on Sacramento or Spokane should a land bank be wished onto either of those cities, and believe that a branch bank in Oregon will se cure just as many benefits for the agri culturalist as a district bank. They may be right. They a n shrewd, can ny men, far-sighted and juat aa patri Surrounding District!

TOWN REVISES CITY ORDINANCES S. II. Ilcltzel, City Attorney frr the Town of Stayton has just finhned his work in connection with the revision of the ordinances of the town, his work ronsisted of revising, co'iifiying and in dexing all the ordinance from the date of the first incorporation of the town to the present time covering a period of over twenty-five years. The ordinances of the town of Stay- ton as in many small towns, were written a book from time to time as they were passed hy the council. Am endments had been made and ordinan ces repealed in whole or in part until after a few yenrs it became almost im possible to ascertain what the law really was. There was no index and tho only way to find an ordinance was to read the titles until the ordinance desired was found. Sometimes this took several hours. In many places at tempts had been mads to amend Ihc Charter by ordinance. In some in stances ordinances had been amended several years after thev had been re pealed. The Mayor and Council for some time had been planning on having the ordinances thoroughly revised, codified and Indexed. This work has just been finished oy Mr. Heltxel and out of a chaotic labyrinth of town legislation covering a quarter of a century has developed as complete a system as can be found anywhere. Mrs. H. Lilly left Sunday for Cor vallis for a few days visit. Accom panied by her sister, Miss Gladys Rice they will spend ten days at Newport. Serial N o. 1073 otic as a n the rural endita enthusiasts. Their indifference, however, looks like one more big reason for asking a Federal Land Bank for Portland. It is in those centers characterised by indiff erence to the aiptntions of the rural population that the new land banka should go. The farmers expect mueh from the new system. They think the financien a n opposed to it, fearing a reduction in interest n te s . The way to satisfy the farmer is to loeste the banks where financien a n indifferent or supposedly hostile. This notion of suctioning the banks off to those communities which bid highest in stock subscriptions is perni cious, and we doubt whether Secretary McAdoo and his associates on the Fed eral Land Board will let themselves be trapped into an admission that such is their intended policy. If there is any good to come from this new Federal farm loan system, let us try and get all the good we can from it for Ongon. United, purposeful, determined ac tion will get us many things. We are entitled to have our claims considered, so let’s present them for nil they are worth. Properly presented, they can not be ignored, and something may come of it to help our farmers, which will mean that ail of us will be helped. —Oregon Voter SCHOOL FAIR WILL BE GLADYS HULETTE HELD OCTOBER 6-7 FULL FLEDGED STAR C A R T E R .

The of- fensea took placo on the other side of the river between the two bridges when a week ago a child of twelve or fourteen was the victim of the mon grel mind of the stranger who. it is claimed, a little *ay from the road en gaged in actions revolting in the ex treme. It was repeated on Tuesday of this week, when according to a Stay- ton woman who was walking along the same piece of road, a man ahead of her left the road and decended under the second or smaller bridge, and emerging on tho other side, and with in a dozen yards of her, repeated the performance as presented to the child. As a result cf these outrages several men are quietly watching events in that neighborhood and it is a foregone conclusion that if the cur should be caught in further attempts to prove his criminal instincts he will be severe ly dealt with. The friends of the persons insulted find it hard to believe that the speci men of debauehed manhood is of this community and hold that exhibition of deceased humanity must be charged to some outside place. It is asked that if women are not safe from being humili ated by such vultures of virtue in broad daylight, what would be the crime committed by the buzzard should any Stayton home be careless in send ing out a child or woman alone at night and thus give the reptile an opportun ity by phyeical force to expresi the dirty thoughts of a mind reeking with the vileness of the underworld degen erates. The description of the beast given hy the horrified victims is mea ger but the incidents have aroused some of the mcnfloks to a high pitch of indignation. AN OFFER WILL HAVE DISPLAY AT SCIO FAIR W.

It h ai Ijeen decided to hold the Stay- ton School Fair on Friday and Satur day, Octooer 6-7. This date has Deen fixed on account of the State Fair being held so early this year. The season is also late so that vegetables and other produce would not be sufficiently devel oped if it were held before the State Fair. The Teachers’ Institute for Ma rion County will be held the same week and for that reason the fair will not interfere with the regular school work. Everything that can be grown, raised or made will be acceptable as an ex hibit, including cooking, canning, fancy work etc. First, second and third pri zes will be given adults in the way of ribbons for their exhibits. The child ren will be given more substantial prizes for their exhibits. The board expects to have the premium list ready shortly. Arrangements have also been made for an exhibit of poultry of all kinds, including chickens, ducks, geese, tur keys, pigeons. Hogs, sheep and goats will be acceptable whether raised by children or not. All children’s exhibits will be distinctly marked so that they will not be confused with the exhibits of adults. It is expected that evsry boy and girl in this section of the coun try will bring something for an exhibit. The older people can help the good cause along by bringing anything they have that they deem of sufficient merit to show to others. Come and bring something and somebody with you, and the fair will be a greater success than WILL HAVE SALE Peter Rund of near Jordan has rent ed his farm to his son-in-law, Jos.
