All Morrow County Hanker r lilted
for .Tin dial Protection of
Hie People.
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. Freeland, of the First

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.

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 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
