During the present financial flurry, the good feeling and general confidence that prevails in Morrow county is noticeable. At a recent meeting of the bank ers of this county, in which the First National Bank of Heppner, the Bank of Heppner, Bank of Lexington and Bank of lone were all represented by officers of these institutions the bankers effected organization not only for mutual protection of the banks, but for the people and business interests in general. The fact that the banks are strongly united, and with the general good feeling backed by the great resources of Morrow county, will have a strong tendency to relieve inconveniences that are prevalent during the present financial stringency. Every bank in Morrow county has kept open for business all the time during the holidays declared by the governor and the people have deposited their funds as usual The new organization of the bankers will be known aa the Morrow County Bankers' Associa tion. Following are the qfheets elected: T. J. Mahoney, of the Bank of lone, president; V. S. Wharton of the Bank of Heppner, vice-presi dent; E, L.

The meeting of the State vv70ol Growers' Association at The Dalles last week was pronounced by all present to be the best and most profitable meeting ever held by the woolgrowers. The Heppner district was repre sented by a large delegation of representative sheepmen and they were all highly pleased with the result of the meeting. J. E. Burgess was re-elected as president of the association, while Dan P. Smythe was again chosen as 6ecretaiy and treasurer. George Currin of Heppner,' was elected as vice president of the association. New advisory boards were also chosen for the eastern and western divisions of the Blue mountain re serves, the northern Cascade re serve and the Heppner reserve. M B. Gwinn was again chosen as the member from the fifth and sixth districts oq the eastern division board. The other four members are to be elected, two by the Uma. tilla county woolgrowers' associa tion and two by the Heppner as soc:ation. It was decided by the association to devote the month of January 1908, to a general onslaught upon coyotes. During that month each sheepman is to do everything pos sible towards eradicating the coy otes in his vicinity, poison, rifles and traps all being employed Prior to the opening of the cam paign the sheep commiasion will issue a pamphlet upon the subject of how to use poison. Before plac ing the poison the sheepmen wil give due notice to neighbors, and otherwise comply with the state law regarding its use. In the war on coyotes which are increasing in numbers at a rapid rate and are causing the destruction of thous ands of dollars worth of sheep every year, the sheepmen in Mor row county will take an active interest. Among the growers who attend ed from the Heppner district and Graut county were: Geo Perry, S. W. Spencer, Wro. Barratt, John Kilkenny, O. E, Farnsworth, Geo. Currin, Frank Elder, A. J. Cook, Jack Devore, Dave McAtee, Paul Webb, Frank Byrne, John McEntire, J. J. Simas, Laurance Sweek, James Farley, J. M. Hayes, Joe Hayes, I. C. Bennett, and others.

The case of ex-Congressman Williamson, by joint request of the prosecution and the defense, has been set by the supreme court for December 2. As several other cases are set for the same day ahead of this case, the hearing will probably be held about December 4. One small patch of less than an acre in Irrigon has yielded in two crops, over 300 sacks or about GOO bushels of potatoes, without irrigation. There was no session of county court this week on account of the holidays. Judge Ayers and Com missioners Griffin and McCarty were at the court house Monday at the usual time for holding court but owing to the fact that holidays would invalidate legal business, no meeting will be held until after the j holidays are declared off. In a few of the counties the commissioners have ignored the holidays and have held court and transacted the usual business, how ever, legal advice is to the effect tbat the transactions of the court would 'be illegal. The Morrow county officers discussed the matter of a session to issue warrants in payment of the bills, but owing to the fact that it would be hard to cash warrants when there was a question as to validity, there was nothing to gain by the issuance of the warrants. Court matters are still on a vacation at present. The other couuty officers are holding the fort and transacting such business as the law will allow. eariency for tli lira hanks.

THE FIXA3C1AL SITl ATIO.N. V Word of Advice from Ueorge II. Partridge. The fol'owing article taken from "a pamphlet entitled "Dry Goods Infor iiiation," published by a big wholesale house in Minneapolis, and w hich"is be ing sent out to local merchants, fur nishes some good advice for all. We are facing unusual conditions in th financial world. Faith which civilized man has in his fellows, and on which rests the whole enormous structure of our credit system, has been seriously disturbed by the disclosures n New York during the past year of the (treat insurance frauds, the scounderlieai of street railroad msgoates, and the speculation and looting of banks and trust com pan es f New York by the copper ring, and other sharp witted and unscrupulous men. While the well informed in banking circles In New York have known what banks and trust companies were depart ing from correct methods in their con duct of business, and realized such in stitutions were a menace to this banking center, they have had to wait for them to work out their own destruction, and that has happened to come just when the public is surfeited with evidence of looting of properties and the division of unwarranted profits by means of water ed stocks, sold to the unsuspecting by men who have previous. y stood high in the financial world, It is no wonder when such disclosures become public that the people become j distrustful of all banking institutions, j and show their lack of con!ideme by demanding their deposits. To make the situation more acute, this condition comes lust at the one time in the vf ar ! i when the west looks to the east, to net only return the bank balances usually kept in New Yoik, but to make liberal advances to move the cops. With this lack cf confidence facing the banks of New York, notwithstanding they hold 250 millions of cash, thev felt it necessary to check cash withdrawal? and temporarily not only decline to advance any money on loans to help move the crops, but decline to forward GRANT WINS SECOND MATCH tleppner 71 an too Coraaa.
