During For some weeks a move has been on foot to consolidate Heppner's tnis period the business of the com banking inBtitations, bat the deal had not reached a stage where it was considered proper to make public announcement of the fact until within the past week. Under the agreement as reached the trans fer of all the stock of the Bank of Heppner has been made, all the stockholders of this bank having merged their interests with those of the Firf t National Bank, with the exception of W. S. Wharton, who has sold his shares outright. The business of the Bank of Hepp- ner is to be taken over and trans- munity was well accommodated by the one bank, and there is no doubt out mat tnis tnis win be the result or the present arrangement.

The Southern Pacific Company has practically completed one of the greatest crop movements in the history of any transportation company in this country. This movement was the bundling of the canteloupe crop of the Imperial Vallev, California and of the crop in Arizona and Nevada. Up to and including mid night, July 24, the Southern Pacific Company had shipped 2844 cars of can teloupes out of the Imperial Valley dur ing the season of approximately 2 months. About 100 more cars remain to be' shipped from this point to the markets. This record exceeds all previous shtD- monta hv InnrrtTimatatij liVlAn... Tk.

He waa educated in the banking business in VVatertown, South Dakota, where he worked with the Citizens National. He is also well acquainted with condi tions in this part of the country and is in every way well equipped for the responsible position. In November, 1909, the interests of the Rbeas was purchased by M. 8. Corrigall, one of tbe wealthiest men of the count, and be was elected president. The present officers are: M 8 Corrigall, presi dent; J B Natter, vice-president; J Mahoney , cashier; Clyde Brock, assistant cashier; M S Corrigall. J H iatter, A L Ayera, Frank Gill iam and T J Mahoney, directors. It is understood that the board of directors is to be increased to seven members immediately after consoli dation, and that there will also be another -vice-president added to the board of officers. These men in all probability will be J H McHaley and WO Minor, th former being slated for vice-president. Under this arrangement Heppner will have the largest banking insti tution of any town of its size in Oregon, if not in tbe entire North west. This should be a benefit to tbe business interests of the city and community at large, as it will place the bank in a position to ac commodate a line of business that one train, the length of which was 6175 teet, consider ably more than a mile long. There were Sii crates in each car and 4j melons to tbe orate, or a total number of 14.5S0 melons in eacli car, and in this lona train 1,939,140 melons. The larg est previous train lotd of cantelonpei was shipped from the Imperial Vallev in 11108, 81) cars moving over the South ern lacilic lines to eastern points. When one appreciates the fact that each of llieve melons wns handled at least three tunes, in picking, wrapping and cratinp, they can readily imagine the army of men necessary in the field to do this work. Two and a quarter million dollars is tin estimate put on the Imperial cantel- onpe crop, now that the season 19 near its end One feature of this years out put, is that despite its size, the melons have been of better quality than ever before. Grant Prisoners Escape. Harry Creiulitou and Harry McDon ald, two prisoners confined in the coun tv jail at Canyon Citv, made tbeireseape on the night of July 2sth, by a clever trick, and have so far eluded the vigil ance of the officers to apprehend them. They were contioed on a charge ot steal ing two horses from II. A. Cupper, of Monument, and a conpie of saddles from another party in the same vicinity. Sheriff Collier has published circulars giving detailed description of the men and offering a reward of $25.00 each for their capture. They are said to be bad characters. found the well would not begin to furnish sufficient water.

He is a rider of note and exhibited some of his skill on the streets of Heppner Sunday afternoon. What he may be able to do in the way of subduing an Eastern Oregon outlaw will doubtless be demonstrated when he goes in for the prize at the Round-LTp. He did some line trick riding and convinced his Heppner audience that he is no slouch when it comes to handling a horse, whether he is saddled or not. Prof. H.

He will hie himself away to the wilds for a couple oE weeks and enjoy a vacation of hunting and fishing where the cares of civilization cannot interfere. He expects to return to Heppner short ly after the middle of the month. week. He gave it up, however, a there was not the promise of funds to guarantee the expense. In the meantime the people of Heppuer are eating dirt. Registers Farm Name.
