The Dallas City Bank is again In Its own building on Main street, hav ing opened up for business at the old stand Monday morning. New f urnl ture has been put in throughout, and no bank in Oregon, outside of Port land, presents a, more handsome ap pearance. The new bank, with its modern furnishings and convenient arrangement, Is one of which the people of Dallas may well feel proud, and congratulations are due to Cashier Williams, who planned the change, and to the board of directors who authorized the improvement. The people of a community naturally look to their banking institutions to take the lead in matters of improvement, and, in fitting up its building and offices in modern style, the Dallas bank has certainly filled all expectations. While the bank was occupying tem porary quarters in the Uglow build ing, carpenters and brick-masons were working a wonderful transform ation in the old building. The vault was torn down, and rebuilt several feet further back in order to make more room for the main office. The old cement floor was covered with tiling of a handsome pattern, and a beautiful pressed metal ceiling was put in. The walls were papered in a delicate shade of blue, and heavy wainscoting run around the entire room. No description of the furniture could do it justice it must be seen to be appreciated. Built of oak and marble and bronze and plate-glass, it challenges the admiration of all beholders. The vault has been en larged, new doors put in, and the heavy manganese safe, a full descrip tion of which was given in these col umns, installed. The furniture was purchased of the Northwest School Furniture Company, and Is strictly first-class and modern. Milton Thompson died Wednesday at Pioneer, aged about 70 years. The Comus Club will give a dancing party tomorrow evening. The party will be under the management of the lady members of the club. Good for Children.
