ly Supported Good Prospects Are
Aheml of the Institution.
Revs, n. F. Harper, H. J. Dlven and
W. L. Van Nuys linve returned from
presbytery tit Enterprise. Wallowa
cuunty, fatigued with the long stage
ride, but rejoicing over the enthusiasm
and other evidences of a prosperous
besslon, and the warm welcome ex
tended by the people of Enterprise.
The most Important feature of the
presbytery was the resolution to di
vide the Eastern Oregon presbytery,
which now consists of every county
oust of the Cascades, except Lake and
Klamath. The Inconvenience of
handling the affairs of the church
through such a geographically cum
brous organization has become for
midable, and hence this step by the
presbytery, which only needs ratifi
cation by the synod, which meets at
Portland about October 10. to be an
accomplished fact.
The division wilt be made along the
crest of the Blue mountains from the
state line southward until Grant
county Is reached. A portion of Grant
county will be In this and a portion
In the other presbytery, and It will be
the only county not entirely In one
or the other.
Grand Hondo presbytery will con
sist of Harney, Malheur, Baker, Un
ion. Wallowa und a portion of Grant
counties.
Pendleton presbytery will comprise
Umatilla county, a portion of Grant
Wnsco, Wheeler, Crook, and In fact,
till of the rest of the territory east of
the Cascades not Included In the
urand Itonde presbytery and Lake
und Klamath counties.
This division will render necessary
a revision of the articles of incorpora
tion of Pendleton academy, but by no
premises a division of loyalty to it.
In fact, the loyalty to Pendleton acad
emy was never so pronounced as at
this session of the presbytery, and It
was expressed by ministers and lay
members alike. U. a. Couch, editor
of the Wallowa News, claims thnt the
academy has a fruitful but almost
untouched field In Wallowa county,
and expressed the greatest confidence
In the present head of the Institution,
clalmug that the entire county shared
In that feeling.
Wullowa and Union counties will
next year send sovernl students to the
academy who have never attended
before, and from all parts of the
presbytery come news of a great re
vival of Interest In the Institution.
There Is a new minister at La
Grande Dev. E. P.. Hayes, late of
Placervllle. Cal., who will be Installed
November 6.

Halley spent one day at the Ontario

"Wo neld a sort of family reunion
last Sunday." said John Halley. "and
there were IS members of the tribe
of Hully who sat down to dinner. All
the members of our Immediate fam
ily, with the exception of my young
est brother, were present."
Mr. Halley says the fruit crop In
the Holse country Is exceptionally
large this year. "Huslness," he con
tinued. "Is very good and there Is a
large amount of building going on."

This Damaging Pest In Umatilla
County Demands Quick Action
Formula Suggested by an Expert
eneed limner.
Owing to the large amount of fire
loss to Unmtllla county threshing ma
chines and harvesters this year, caus
ed by spontaneous combustion of
smut dust, leading farmers are now
studying means of killing the smut
germ In seed wheat. Among the
most practical agriculturists of the
Northwest Is Moses Chrlstensen,
fanner on the Umatilla reservation,
who has made a long study of this
subject and who contributes the fol
lowing short formula for the benefit
of Unmtllla farmers.
Umatilla Indian School, Sept. 19.
(To the Editor.) I suppose by the
amount of blue vitriol being placed
on sale at Pendleton, that the farm
ers In this section vitriol wheat to
kilt smut.
Here Is an effective remedy: Mix
thoroughly with 50 gallons of water
on pound of formalin; Immerse the
grain In the liquid, letting it remain
10 minutes.
The above solution was used on
both wheat and oats that wus black
with smut spores, by the experiment
Station of Utah, and was entirely Bat
on
grain of the same kind with unsatis
factory results.
Formaline can be procured from
any druggist.
MOSES CHUISTENSEN,
Farmer UmAtllla Indian School,
the higher altitudes are not so well
adapted for the raising of grain. It
Is with hay that we hope to succeed,
"A great deal of hay Is sold to the
government, which desires only timo
thy of the finest grade. Most of the
farmers sell their product to n Wes
ton dealer Who disposes of It to out
side markets,
"Weston mountain fruit this year In
very plentiful. The berry crop Is al
ways later than In the valley and as
a result the mountaineer gardener en
Joys 'a brisk trade after the lowlan
der's market Is ended."
LACK OF EVIDENCE.
Who Can Proe That "Skipper" lllcks
Fired the Pistol?
The charge of discharging fire
arms within the ctiy limits, which Is
pending against "Skipper" Hicks,
may not be tried until after he has
served the two sentences of 10 days
each, which were Imposed upon him
Monday afternoon. There appears to
be a lack of sufficient evidence to
prove that Hicks really fired a pis
tol. Persons saw him standing in the
room with a pistol In his hands Im
mediately after the shooting, but on
the ground beneath the window was
a second gun, and Mike Gratz. Jr..
declares one of the weapons Is his.
Just which one fired the gun Is not
known.

It Is easy to say "pure drugs."
So easy that many druggists
say so from force of habit. The
reality requires more than
mere "say so." It requires
knowledge, experience, con
stant and conscientious vigi
lance. We say we have pure drugs
because we have. We spent
time and money to make sure
of the fact.
There are no better drugs to
be had than we provide. There
are no pure drugs that can be
had for lower prices than ours.

What is a
Savings
Account?
THE USE of a Savings account Is
not fully understood. It is a banking
feature that does more service to a
community that can readily be ap
preciated. In every community, there
nre numbers of people who have
small sums and no means of using
them to advantage. The Savings
Department of this bank affords the means of utilizing
these funds. One man has JB, another J50, another more,
another less. These sums when placed together In a bank
can be loaned out so as to pay Interest. The Savings De
partment is the means of getting these small sums to
gether and loaning them out safely. There are many peo
ple who would be pleased to receWe Interest on their
money for a short time.
The Commercial National Bank Is the only Institu
tion in this city which provides strictly for the receipt and
care of savings and trust funds. Interest paid on all
such accounts at the rate of
Four Per Cent per Annum
for each calendar month that the money remains in bank.
Deposits made on or before the 4th of a month draw In
terest from the first of that month. Interest Is credited on
nil accounts February and August 1st, at which times, If
not drawn, It becomes part of tho principal. Any part of
a deposit may bo withdrawn without disturbing Interest
on tho balance.
Certificates of deposit are issued bearing Interest at
the following rates:
Certificates Pajablo In 0 months, -1
per cent. J
