The two organizations which maintain branches are the Uni ted States National and the First National. At first they were able to enter into cities where banks had failed and supply needed banking facilities. Now their expansion comes generally "by the purchase of existing untis. These purchases, it is safe to say, are made on a much more conservative basis than in the dizzy days of group banking via the holding jcom pany device. "-,-. . " . It. is easy to see that before long" the banks of the state may be divided into two domains, headed-iiy these two Port land institutions. . Will that be a good thing or a bad thing for the state? r i; Branch banking is the prevailing system in Canada and those approving it point to Canada's record for few failures. Those opposed to the system fear the concentration of finan cial control in a few hands, and those distant from the com munity where the service is beins: rendered. The final ver dict will depend considerably on the methods followed by the chain banks. If they become mere -warehouses for the safe keeping of money then their tight control of credit will lead either to political reprisals or to comoetition. If on the other hand they try to maintain local identity and tomeet the credit needs of the communities on a reasonable basis then they will gain acceptance. Meantime it is only natural to anticipate that competi- a- V J J , , 1 1 ' . , , 1 1 Ml lion Between inueoenaeni DanKS ana xne cnaius wm xrow keener. It is forecast in the recent organization of the inde pendent banks of the state. Now banks are seeking business, and if business revival continues and bankers and business men get over their fright the contest for patronage in loans and deposits may grow sharper than it was in the old days. We should hate to see the entire banking of the state controlled by just two groups of banks. Such a condition would soon lead to agitation for state ownership, which is already under way in certain quarters. A better development would be a division of the field between locally owned banks -and group owned branches. A local bank soundly operated can retain a close hold on its customers. The branch bank is able by virtue of its larger capital structure to take care of larger loan accounts. ' Banking -developments in Oregon in the immediate fu ture promise to be interesting both to students of affairs and the public which uses banking service. Students Who Batch THE employment and housing secretary over at the state college expects that some 200 of the men students who enroll this fell will want to batch. The typical "batching apartment" is described as a study-bedroom and a kitchen or kitchenette ; and the price is $10 a month, or five dollars each for the two occupants. Sometimes the price is less, rarely higher, because the fellows who serve as their own cooks cannot afford to pay more. This announcement Is not so distressing as it seems. In these days of redimade foods, it is not at all difficult for even a male high school graduate to provide , himself with nutri tious meals. He can swing as wicked a can-opener as any stenographer-bride. He can heat a can of prepared chicken noodles as easily as his mother. He can even make hotcakes, pie-dough, by merely adding a little milk or water. He canslice bread as thin as his grandmother's because he buys it the same way. The same inventions which make cook ing sib easy that housewives can play bridge till 5:30 p. m. and still keep their husbands satisfied with a decent dinner enable the poor, but ambitious youth, to acquire a college education without benefit of boarding clubs, I rats or restaur ants." Youth will find a way, whether in love or in pursuit of an education. President Peavey told us a story the other day of a young chap who was cooking his own way through college. He met the student one day bearing some packages of food from the grocery and asked him how he was faring. "Fine," said the boy. Then he tapped the at-that-time dean of the forestry school familiarly on the chest, and added : "If a fellow wants to go through college, don't let anybody tell him he can't do it." There is another side of the picture, of course. With 200 males, tossing flapjacks on their own griddles there will be fewer candidates for f rat-house lounge lizards, and the hold ers of bonds on the houses may grieve over the slim pros pect for interest another year. These manipulators of elec tric toasters, electric coffee pots and skilled bacon-friers may not be social lollypops; but at least they will have clean hands. Dishwater does that, you know. Threat to Prosperity WE wondered how long it would last, the fishing pros perity on Coos Bay. It has lifted a district which was in the slough of dispondency for several years onto a high plane of prosperity, made it the bright spot of the state, along with Cascade Locks. Now there are threats of a strike because some California fishermen get $8.00 a ton for their catch. At Coos Bay the pay is $9.00; but a sympathy strike is proposed though it is not quite clear how striking up here will bring higher wages in California. The prosperity was too good to last like the dog with the bone in his mouth who saw his reflection in the pool and dropped his bone to take the seemingly larger one away from the other dog, some interest was almost sure to throw the machinery -out of gear. At the mouth, of the Columbia the fishermen have de veloped the strike technique to a high degree of proficiency; so high in fact that this month the packers didn't try to operate. The consequence was idle fishing boats, idle can ning belts, idle cannery hands, idle waiters and store clerks. And what was said to be the heaviest run of salmon for many years for the season steamed right past the Astoria docks for their mountain spawning grounds. There may be some consolation in the prospect that our or five years hence the salmon crop may be the larger because the fish of this year were permitted to perform their biological function of reproduction without being stopped before reaching their rendezvous. The Coos Bay strike may be but a threat. It vrould be dire calamity to cutoff the inflow of earnings from a brand new industry .-which has. rejavenated two cities and stimu lated business through many channels. It is to be hoped the Astoria situation-will serve frs a warning. '. vV - 11 S- 4 ' Sen.

Only recently a mother wrote me 'asking whether her left-handed child "could ever be nor mal and healthy".' V Geniuses Often "Lefties" What is so Important about '"hand edness" 7 It Is not Titally important, I assure you. A child whd is left handed Is just as likely to be normal as. his right-handed brother or sister; Some of the most brilliant men in history were left-handed. Many out standing surgeons and sngbMers. draughtsmen and lawyers are in this class. - In the study of th!a problem there baa been established the conrlctlon that it Is unwise to enrb the left handed tendency. When the child shows a definite Inclination to use his kft hand It is Inadvisable to force bim to use the other. ' I do not mean, of course, that the child should be encouraged to use his left hand. But If he ahowa a marked tendency or preference for the use of the left hand, do not scold him or fuss with him shout the matter. Let htm go along using the hand of his choice. Of course, it is better if you can by gentle means Inspire the use of the right hand, hut never force th child to overcome his natural bent Don't Oppoeo Natnr A child who Is compelled to nsa the right hand against his natural Inclinations often develops signs ef Irritability and nerrosanesa Sooner or later, strange as ft may seem. In sistence on right-handedness may re sult in speech defects such ss stam mering and stuttering. These symp toms disappear as soon as the child Is again permitted to use his left hand. Please t bear In mind that right handedness may bo regarded as a social convention. More than thirty per cent of the world's population are believed to be born left-handed. A quarter Of this number may develop the use of the right band but la reality they remain left-banded.

STUDENTS' NEED OF WORK IS STRESSED An appeal that business asso ciations or individuals having work which might be offered col lege students get in touch with him eras rolced yesterday by Dr. Daniel Schnlze, dean of men at Willamette university, when he spoke before a meeting of the Salem Ad club. Without some financial assist ance, many young men who plan to enter college this faU will be unable to secure a university edu cation, the dean said. The demand for some sort of work with which to finance tui tion or board and room fa larger than ever, in spite of governmen tal action in student aid, declared Dr. Schulze. Some of the major problems that confront students entering college life for the first time were said to he readjustment to a new environment, becoming , used to lack of home restraint, and fi nances.

I advanced with five or alx men to the edge of a growth of underbrush to make-a reconnolssance. . -, -V.. "We stole along under cover of this underbrush until we reach ed the open ground leadiag orer the causeway or narrow neck be fore mentioned, when the enemy opened fire and KILLED A SOL DIER NEAR MT SIDE by a ahot which. Just GRAZING THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE, struck tflm in the neck, opening an ar tery and breaking the spinal cord. He died instantly. i "The Indians at once made a rush for the body, but my men in the rear, coming quickly to the scene, drove them back; and. Captain Dall's gun being now brought into play, many solid shot were thrown into the jungle where they lay concealed, with the effect of considerably MOD ERATING THEIR IMPETUOS ITY. - "Further skirmishing at long range took place at intervals dur ing the day, with little gain or loss, however, to either side, for both parties held positions which could not be assailed In flank, and only the extreme of rashness in either could prompt a front at tack. e W "My left was protected by the back water driven into the slough by the high stage of the river, and my right rested secure on the main stream. "Between us was only the nar row seek of land, to cross which would be certain death. The posi tion of the Indians was almost the exact counterpart of ours. 'In the evening I sent a re port of the situation back to Van couver by the- steamboat, retain ing ft large Hudson's Bay bateau which I had brought up with me. "Examining this, I found It would carry about 20- men, and made up my mind that early next morning I would cross the com mand to the opposite or south side of the Columbia river, and make my way up along the mountain base until I arrived abreast the middle block-house, which was still closely besieged, and then at some ; favorable point recross to the north bank to Its relief, en deavoring in this manner to pass around and to the rear of the Indians, whose position confront ing me was too strong for a direct attack. H "Is . "This plan was hazardous, but I believed it could be successful ly carried out if the boat could be taken with me ; but should I not be able to do this I felt that the object contemplated in sending me out would miserably fail, and the small band cooped op atthe block house would soon starve or fall a prey to the Indians, so I con cluded to RISK ALL THE CHANCES THE PLAN INVOLV ED. "On the morning of March 28 the savages were still in my front, and after giving them some solid shot from Captain Dall's gun w slipped down to the river bank, and the detachment crossed by means of the Hudson's Bay boat, making a landing on the opposite shore at a point where the south channel of the river, after flow ing around Bradford's Island, joins the mala stream. "It was then about 9 o'clock, and everything had thus far pro ceeded favorably, but an examin PEACHES COME III ACTIVE DEMAND PORTLAND, Aug. 0-(flV There was no change In butter or butterfat prices today. Butterfat continued firm. Market for eggs continued to re flect a mixed tone. Complaints of quality were Increasing from con sumers and sales were showing a much restricted volume as a re sult. Top quality eggs were firm. Market for live poultry con tinued to reflect a firm tone lo cally with receipts still of mod erate volume. There was a small suply of broiler turkeys arriving but demand is limited. Higher prices were being re ceived for country killed lambs and calves. Each is up to 14c top but hogs were lower at 16-17c lb. Beef was slow. There was continued activity ia the market for peaches with prices down perhaps a traction in spots in view of the approaching holi day. Muirs were a trifle slow be cause the public has not yet taken them up. Advance was practically gener al tor tomatoes during the day aa a result of greatly curtained sup plies from The Dalles and Yakima. but a fair Dillard and local stock- was showing. Market was full of humpback salmon, selling at low prices, but summer steelheads of extreme quality were taking the bulk of call. Potatoes and onions were dull but unchanged in price. Italian prunes were slow to lower priced. BIRTHS REPORTED GER VAIS. Ag. SO. Two births are reported ia this sec tion Sunday night. An I H -Pound daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Dunn at the Woodborn hospital. She has been named Patricia Louise. This is their third child and second daughter. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Minaker received word Monday that a son wss born Sun day night to their daughter, Mrs. : Kenneth McKentie, at Seattle. This is their second child and 1 first son. - ation of the channel showed that It would be impossible to get the boat up the ripids along the main land, and that success could only be assured by crossing the south channel just below the rapids to the, island, along the shore of which there was etery probability we could pull the boat through the rocks-and swift water until the head of the rapids was reach ed, from which, point to the block house there was smooth water. "Tellipg the men of the em barrassment In which. I found my self, and that If I could, get enough of them to man the boat and pull it up the stream by ' a rope to the shore we would cross to the island and make- the at tempt, ALL VOLUNTEERED to go, but as 10 men seemed suffi cient I selected that number to accompany me. "Before starting, howeTer, I deemed It prudent to find out If possible what was engaging the attention of the Indians, who had not yet. discovered that we had left their front V V I I therefore climbed up the side of the abrupt 'mountain which skirted the water's edge until I could see across the island. "From this point I observed the Indians running horse races and otherwise enjoying themselves be hind the line they held, against me the day hefore. - "The squaws decked out In gsy colors, and the men gaudily dress ed in war bonnets, made the scene most attractive, but as everything looked propltioua tor the danger ous enterprise in hand I spent lit tle time watching them. m V "Quickly returning to the boat, I crossed to the island with my 10 men, threw ashore the ropo at tached to the bow, and com menced the difficult task of pull ing her up the rapids. "We got along slowly at first, but soon striking a camp of old squaws who had been left on the island for safety, and had not gone over to the mainland to see the races, we utilized them to our ad vantage. "With unmistakable threats snd signs we made them not only keep quiet, but also give us much needed assistance in pulling vig orously on the tow-rope of the bout. . "I was laboring under a DREADFUL STRAIN OF MEN TAL ANXIETY during all this time, for had the Indians discov ered what we were about, they could easily have come over to the island in their canoes, and, by forcing us to take up our arms to repel their attack, doubtless would have obliged the abandon ment of the boat, and that essen tial adjunct to the final success of my plan would have gone down the rspids. Mndeed. nnder such circum stances, it would have been im possible for 10 men to hold out against the two or three hundred Indians; but the island formed an excellent screen to our movements and we were not discovered, and when we reached the smooth wa ter at the upper end of the rap ids we quickly crossed over and joined the rest of the men, who in the meantime had worked their way along the south bank of the river narallel with us. "I felt very grateful to the old squaws for the assistance they rendered. "They worked well under com pulsion, and manifested no dispo sition to strike for higher wages "Indeed, I was so much reliev ed when we had crossed over from the island and joined the rest of the party, that I mentally thanked the squaws one and all.

It blown in ripples tike a frozen breeze on the water's surface. Jerome saw where tracks of some sort had disturbed it over to the right. They were carious and he could make nothing of them.
