"Hut," wild tho'. flrt, "I om bo far from town it is in convenient for mu to come in to do my banking." "All tho tnoro reason," his companion replied, "why you should luivo tin account. When you have a -check to deposit simply endorse it over to tho bank and mall it to thorn, They will credit nnd receipt you. Then ' when you buy anything, pay by check. That's tho way others pay you. Thnt's up-to-date business." Is tho argument not logical? The Deschutes Banking & Trust Company of Bend, Oregon "CoMrvtiv B-uikkg for CoMrvtivt Ptopk. placed the name of Dr. Coe forward aa a candidate. Ho mentioned that "Doc" has been a resident of Crook county for eight year, that ho la a heavy property owuor and tax payer, and therefore specially Interested In economic administration; that ho U, from hi practice and lutin residence, widely ucqualuted throughout the county; and finally, that In his con sldoratlon no candidate who could possibly be considered would hold so many votes from personal "likeable ness" while none could merit greater support on tho grounds of Keneral efficiency and Ill-round qualification. Mr. Hmlth's suggestion, or nomi nation, met with a IiIk burst of up plausu, Then followed many brief talks, tho concensus of opinion being that no better candidate could he advanced, and finally a resolution wa adopted by acclamatlou In which the "6 men present went on record as heartily cndorsliiK tho Coe candi dacy, and plodded united support. The necessity of a hard flKht was dwell uKn by various speakers, all of whom, however, expressed them selves a hellevliiK that It would be a wlunlug fight. Then a Keneral committee of five was upolnted to have charito of the campaign, the names being suggested by the meet Ing. Tha Committee as chosen com prise: J. P. Keyes, V. II. Blasts, It. M Hmlth.

The display of agricultural pro ducts was In Itself an event worth tho trip to I.aldlaw. It was conduct ed under the auspices of the Laldlaw Development League, and It proved wonderfully well the productiveness of the adjacent territory. It oIbo demonstrated that this portion of Central Oregon can ralso good fruit and unsurpassedTegetables, us well as splendid grains and grasses. Creditable as was the display last year, the advance In numlxjrs, diver sity and general excellence of this summer's exhibits was a striking tribute to tho development of the country and tho Increased Interest taken In such activity. Aa instance of this w.is wt'i In tho fruit dhp.'a ; this seas in a large table was etive-cd with splendid exhibits of apples, plums, pears, crab apples, and other fruit, among which were included some late strawberries.

Kenney of Hums, Who Has Ile- mnriuiblc Outfit and IteconJ, Hauls 17,000 Founds From IJend. A freighter with the biggest and the finest looking outfit seen in Dend for many a day pulled through town' Saturday, bound for Hums. What is even more remarkable than bis outfit was this particular representa tive of tho genus "skinner", If trust worthy report is to bo credited, neither drinks, nor smokes, and never works on Sunday. Also, it is reported, bo never swears. All of which Isn't a Sunday school story, but a solemn and provable fact, not to mention a glorious example for erring brothers of bis own profession and others straying through different walks of life. The name of the paragon freighter is h. H. Kenney. Ho halls from Hums. His outfit Includes twelve fine horses and four wagons. When he left for Hums tbreo wagona carried about 17,000 pounds, and in addition there was a water and feed wagon. The total weight of the out fit, Including wagons. Is placed at over 25,000 pounds. About 20 miles a day will bo averaged on the 140 mile trip to Hums. On Sundays, say auto drivers who pass him, Mr. Kenney "lays off" en tirely. He has the reputation of treating his horses wonderfully well, and the resuts of this humanity were evidenced by the remarkable way In which tho teams responded to his quiet orders when swinging the long string of wagons through the streets. A LITTLK JOKK ON THE CITY. Last Saturday Chief Roberts picked up a stray horse who was grazing on tho Lucas lawn and put him In tho pound. No one camo to get blm out. Tho Chief had a hunch who owned the critter, and told the man. Tho man denied the allegation; said he never had seen tho horse. Now, the trouble Is. tho nag Is three legged, and Is a huudred years old. or there about. Also, he Is thinner than n rail and can scarcely stand. No one wants him. The Chief can't get a buyer. And In the mean time the city pays the feed bills.

ELUS A groat big prosperity smile filtered all over tho assembled coun cllmen nad the audience last night when City Recorder Ellis at tho council meeiing commenced to open and read the offers made by bonding houies to take up Dend's $60,000 sewer system bond Issue. And there was good reason for that smile, for tho reading of the bids showed tho most substantial kind of gilt edged endorsement of Uend. Every one of tho seven of fers tor the bonds was above par, and, in fact, all of them were ac companied by a very consldcrablo premium. So, while the Judge shuf fled the thousand dollar checks that accompanied the bids, those present suddenly awoke to a new realization of the fact that Rend Is a first class town and one upon whose successful future big bonding houses are not only content but anxious to bank. "What's.. tho matter with Hend?" someone asked. And part of the answer, which was chiefly too enthusiastic to print, was a comparison of the success meeting Uend's bond Issue sale aa compared with that of at least on other Interior town, where not so long ago a far smaller Issue found a maiket only considerably below par, and on an Income- earning enter prise at that. Also, someone asked where the knockers were who ob jected to the sewer project from tho first, and solemnly asserted that tho bonds never could find a market Two IlliN Lead. The two best bids received were from Farson, Son & Co., of New ork, and from the Washington Trust Co., of Spokane. The former offered $60,944 for the issue, and greed to supply blank lithographed bonds. The latter bid $61.10:, agreed to pay accrued Interest up to the date of delivery of the bonds, but did not offer to supply blank bonds. Tho estimated cost of getting tho bonds made Is about $300, There fore this amount, approximately,, should be added to the first bid men tioned and subtracted from the sec ond. However, the monthly inter est on tho bonds amounts to $300. If, as is probable, a month or two should elapse before the bonds art) finally delivered, after legal exami nation of the records, etc., this monthly interest would mount up consldersbly. After considering these two offers, tho mayor wait authorized to telegraph to the two houses, asking Farsons If they would pay accrued Interest, and asking tho Spokane firm If they would furnish blank donds. these matters not hav ing been covered In the proposition submitted. With definite Infor mation on these points at hand, tho Council will meet tonight and mako final decision. While none of tho other bids were turned down. It Is practically certain that the award hangs between tho two mentioned. The other bidders wero aa follows: James N.
