The Bank Habit
Poslb!y you who read this h ivc never kept a bank account. If i
rot. let us suggest that you try the experiment. You will find It j

safe from theft and fire, such a habit tends to thrift, economy, dig- 1
ctpllne, and a general understanding of business principles, all of i
which are essential to success. It also affords a convenient method i
for the payment of bills; and, as the checks are alwayse preserved 1
and returned to you, they serve as receipts for the amounts paid. J

Some) Church History.
The Thompson Street M. E. church
was the first one organized In Pen
dleton, and the society was formed at
a meeting held in the old court house
In 1870. Rev. Lane, a circuit rider,
presided at the meetlnir. The only
member of the original society now
living In Pendleton is Mrs. Planah
Coffman.
The church building on Thompson
street was erected In 1ST5 during the
time that Rev. Horner was serving as i
pastor.-At that time building material!
was hard to secure In rendleton. and I
the pastor himself made the shingles
for the church and. hauled them down
from the mountains. J. M. Rontley-
made the siding for the building.
Since that time the church has been
remodeled several different times to
meet the demands of the growing city
and church congregation. However,
the old structure has been Inadequate
for several years, and at last it be
came necessary to erect an entirely
new church.

I). S. TATVM XOW AGEXT.
Standard Oil Company Will In-Uill n
Tank Wagon Here.
Owing to the rapid Increase in th?
buslress of the Standard nil company
in this city, that companv will install
a lank wagon for city delivery. D. S.
Tatom of the edd storage plant, is
now aeent for the companv in Pendle
ton a-d a two-horse tank wa'on will
be started some time next week. The
wag-in will not peddle oil, as has been
report'-d. but will deliver on order
Ju.-t as in tii- past, except that the
oil will be hauled in hulk In the tank,
mailing it ;'.ioi I'fi.v.-nlei.t for patrons
than formerly.
L. Fi az'-T. v. ho has had the local
ag-ney for the Standard "ii company
for a nuiii-jer of years, has decided to

MIST EXTEX R THE PORTAGE.
Slate Road Must Ho Connivtitl With
Rout Lines at The Ihtllcs.
L. S. Cook, superintendent of the
portage road, says:
"The portage rnd will never be a
success from a financial standpoint
until It will have been extended from
Its present lower terminus Into The
Dalles. l!lg Eddy is the present ter
minus anil it Is distant from The
Dalles about three and one-half miles,
"The route which it would be com
pelled to traverse is very rough and
rocky and the extension could be
made at an estimated cost of about
$53,000. If this could be accomplish
ed and he feels certain that a b'll
will be presented to the next leglsln
tare asking for an appropriation In
carry on the work, he says there
would be more thnn double the trade
In freight at this season of the year,
and the road placed upon practically
a paying basis.
"As it Is now. connection with the
boats on the lowe river from Port
land and Th Dalles Is altogether too
uncertain to give the patrons of th
road on the upper river assurance that
they will get their goods on time, if
at all, whereas. If the extension were
made and an Incline provided at the
lower end direct connection would be
made and with boats at both ends and
a regular running schedule could be
depended upon by all concerned. .
"This would also have a tendency to
reduce the heavy expenses of handling
the freight so often, which eats up all
the profits In freight traffic and con.
vert the road Into a portage road In
the strictest sense of the term. Instead
of a sort of Incomplete makeshift as
It stands today."

there are those who look at us as if
