Sixth and Waahlngton streets, says that
women were never' such general and
heavy depositors, both In savings and
checking departments, aa-at the present
time. They have learned how to bank
with eaae, blunders such as are related
to amuse readers of the funny columns
being now of rare occurrence. Women
find it far more convenient to pay
their bills with checks, and -the great
army of the employed are becoming
more thrifty, putting by a share of
their earnings for the proverbial rainy
day. - The new location la very at
tractive, . providing a special ladles
department with free telephone service,
stationery, . etc, so that the. clientele
may feel perfectly at home, and rest
read or write letters a the case may
be. Aside from the ladles, all claaaas
are saving money more . largely than
ever - before. The Oregon Trnst 4
Savings-bank has certainly had a re
markable growth In the three years
since Its establishment. Its deposits now
amounting, to- 11,70,000. .

RICH LANDS TO BE DYKED
California Syndicate Acquires Tract
oa Lower Columbia.
A syndicate, of, California capitalize
is said to. have acquired' about 130,000
acres of river bottom land along" the
lower Columbia - river ' In Washington
and Columbia counties In Oregon and
In Cowlits county, Washington. .These
tracts are too low for successful culti
vation, being but a few feet above or
dinary water stage In the Columbia.
The great difficulty heretofore exper
ienced with these lands -has - been "to
keep -them properly drained. '
The soil of these river bottom 1
Immensely productive." With th sur
face drained, and the naturaL sub-lxri.
gatlon from the river, they would be
come In the highest degree productive.
The plans of the California syndicate
call for -the construction of a dyke
along the river frontage, of - sufficient
height to prevent any overflow. The
proposed dyke Is to be to feet wide at
r -
J. Sail. East Seventeenth. Between
time adjustable.'. Thus-' the elrcula- f
tlon la not- Impeded, and " the glass . Is
absolutely-secure.,'. Mr., , Metxger. - has
patented his Invention, and will .have
these nose pieces on sale .within a few
days.- The company has a large stock
of , diamonds-on hand that they Intend
to turn Into -oaah Just as rapidly as
possible, by means of special sales, at
great reductions. "Any man can afford
to get engaged If he comes to us for
the ring." -declared - Mr. ;', Metxger.
"These are positively the lowest rates
on diamonds that will be quoted - for
many a day. With the steady advance
in the-diamond market that has . been
going on for some months,' It behooves
the young -man of -matrimonial Intent
to "wake up and take notice." " ...
