Just to 'Remind You
WHEN MONEY is scarce general stagnation sets in with its
resultant disasters to every line of business, o every profession,
and every wage-earner. It is therefore to y ur interest to help
to make money plentiful in Oregon by simply keeping it here.
The sworn statements of life insurance companies on file with
State Insurance Commissioner S. A. Kozer, Salem, Oregon,
show that
was sent out of OREGON for life insurance premiums
in'the past five years.
is the total returned here to pay death losses and dividends in
the same five years.
is the net amount drained out of Oregon in 5 years
for life insurance premiums sent to enrich Wisconsin, New
York and other states by making their home companies the
custodians of these trust funds from Oregon. Does anyone
doubt that the commercial supremacy of New York is due to
the centralization of the insurance assets in that market, more
than to any other one factor? More money is handled by the'
insurance companies than all the transportation companies in
the country, and it is the centralization of these immense
accumulations in one locality that makes that locality the seat
of the financial empire.
It is the personal interest of every citizen of Ore
gon to use his influence that Life insurance be bought
of 0!I?I,Iifc and tne money Kept in Oregon for Ore
gon's development.

Old Prospector Released.
From La Grande Star.
A. O. Jacobs, arrested Thursday
night by the local police on suspi
cion of being a bootlegger, was re
leased yesterday afternoon as no evi

The old man said he had lived for 30
years near Los-tine in Wallowa coun
ty, and was a prospector by occupa
tion. His wi.e is living in this val
ley, but is divorced from him, and
his children are in the Boys' and

view and was going back to the val

old-timer, tD accompany him to his
"good thing." He says he bought
the five bottles of whisky in Baker

What's the Use.
The esteemed Wallowa Sun (again)
finds something in this paper no one
else can. It says this paper "takes a
fling at the other towns because they
did not fall in with the scheme and
help finance a venture engineered by
the Enterprise Commercial club
Also that this paper accuses them
(Wallowa people) of disloyalty to the
interests of -the county because they
did not endorse the plan. Nothing to
It, except a gui ty conscience. This
paper never printed or intimated any
such words or phrases. If the Wai
Iowa boosters were guilty of the
things the Sun is trying to excuse
them for, the Sun Is to our knowledge
also the first to charge them. The
vho'e, long, labored and .exculpatory
editorial is Just another case of the
3un'8 over-heatel imagination as
far as it impute to this paper any
flings at the Wal'.owa boosters. The
latter are all right and more powet
to them. May they cause, in one way
or another, two babies to grow
within the city limits where one
grows now.

he struck out one more batter than
did Bllyeu. He was especially ef
fective when hits would have meant
runs for Enterprise. Wallowa made
two more errors than the locals, but
they were not so costly in yielding
runs. Hay ej. made the feature Play

nearly all the wool goes to Boston,
this difference on the transcontinen
tal rate per hundrel pounds would
amount to about l-40th of a cent a
pound on the price. The smallest
fraction difference paid in price is.
one-eighth of a cent, so the reduction
would be no advantage. All but a
very small part of the wool ship
