J The following concerning George McDonald of the Maupin State Bank we Copy from The Crab, a piper published by employes of the U. S. National Bank of Portland: ; Seems just like some invisible some thing or somebody, which or whom we'll call "Hunch," is con stantly busy passing out promis cuous to the effect that whenever a concern needs a finished product it'll find what it requires at the U. S. of Portland; and then Mr Invisible Hunch goes and puts a 'mg in the ear of one or the other of our nest and most popular workers aud biff I he's grabbed and gone. This time it's George McDonald who's been grabbed. The Maupin State Bank needed an assistant cashier, got the hunt h and did the grabbing. Mac is a true friend of the whole force, and we join in wishing him the very best of good fortune. He was likewise a. loyal pal of the U. S. Crab. He hesitated not to tell the Crab to its face just wherein its expressions were not accordin' to Hoyle, and was always hintii g that the Crabbedy man should attend night school along with other ignorant, unlettered foreign ers. Yes, Mac's kind-heartedness will be sadly missed. . We'll never forget how, when the Crab would see fit to consnlt that big two-ten dictionary by Gearge's desk, he wyuld say with withering sarcasm: "If. you can't find it iu Webster, just ask me.'1 ' Wanted to rent this fall for s term of years a good wheat ranch with or without stock.
