Mr. Bonnett then ap pealed to the supreme court on the grounds that the banking law providei that "If in his o pinion(meaning the state super intendentof banks) the organiz ation of such a bank is justified, crantintr charters to now banks, The case is the outgrowth of Mr. Bennett's refusal to grant a charter to L. A. Bass, S. A. Mulkey and others for a new bank to bo established in St. Johns under the namo of the Bank of Commerce.

Ho took with him $30,000 invested by Homer Ho garth, a farmer of Minneapolis in the Aurora Borealis Ice Com pany, according to Hogarth, who asked for a warrant. Une folaz ing hot day last July Gallileo tali, dark, and excitable, ana weuring an impressive bine beard, appeared on Hogarth' farm with a surveyor's instru ment, pointing it towards the skies. He seemed pre-occupied for hours, as if calculating some abstruse problem in mathe matics. Hogarth was watching him. Finally, he exclaimed excitedly, "This is the spot the very spot." According to Hogurth. Gallileo tried to buy his farm, offering him a fabulus sum. but after a fourth visit revealed that his calculations proved Hogarth's farm to be the point whero an unending flow of ice wouiti lull were a scoop attached to theNorth Pole, whic Gallileo described as a steel gir dor projecting from the center of the earth. Gallileo said he had seen it, as he had been with Peary. He thon told Ho garth his plan for the Aurora Borealis Icu Company, taking $30,000 from Hogarth as a part nors h in fee. the farmer says leaving Hogarth on the farm to take care of the ice whlio made a second trip to the pol to attach the scoop. His theory was that a scoon attached to tli pole would tear loose billions ol tons of icons the oarlh revolved and would gradually tip, fling ing its contents on Hogarth' farm. Cyrus Stronehead, whose farm adjoins Hogarth's, went to the bank when ho heard of his neighbor's loss to see if his Lib ortv Montis were still tnero Thoy were. So were his War Suvlugs Stamps. i: Portland Manufacturing Co. t MANTPACTrKKKS OK i Panels, Berry Boxes, Coffee Drums, Ex celsior urape Boxes, Egg Case Stock, and all kinds of Veneer FACTORY, FOOT OP RICHMOND STRUCT .A.

A Cammisole, Envelope Suit, Bloomers; they are practical, something extra nice but not prohibitive in price at our store. Scarf Sets Our bright Scarf Sets make excellent gifts; they are prac tical, too, for we realize now that we have some cold weather in Oregon. But they arc good for Auto trips and any long journey in the open. They are made this year to take tiie place of furs. ADITORIAL Merry Christians what cheer and good will it signifies. Nobody with red blood in his vetus can resist. Bankers keep on counting, blacksmiths keep on hammering, con dnctors keep on calling out streets, everyone keeps on work ing as though there were nothing in the air no garlands of holly, no wistful little faces peering into shop windows. Then suddenly something happens usually just before Christmas eve. The banker leaves his desk, the blacksmith the butcher, the candlestick maker leave their shops. They can't help themselves, they must hurry out on the street; they nod to each other, they shake hands timl say Merry Christmas. And then it is Christmas! Uttt the children knew that long before, for Christmas is their own a precious birthright, the inheritance of two thousand years. Christmas is coming. It's coming to gladden the world's heart, to charm little children and make men smile. Toys, Books, Games. Some of the little Christmas things children expect may not be exactly useful but if you fail to get your small tot those toys he has learned to expect you are going to have to account for it. Our store is filled with all the little trinkets that make the child happy at Christmas; the cost is not much compared with the return. We have Auto Trucks, Wagons, Horses, Trains, Touring Cars, "Flivvers," Books, Games, Dolls, Teddy Bears, Rattles. Blankets A blanket of snow sounds nice and poetical but a blank et of cloth sounds better right now.
