, The American Statu B'ink of
Halfway will increase its capital
stock from $15,000 to $50,000 and
pecomc a national hunk. When
the matter is completed the insti;
tution '.v ill be Known as The First
National Hank of Halfway.
In commenting on the change
the Pino Valley Herald says: "An
Increase in the capital stock in
the local haul' will help in the
development of the commun.ty.
We have always bion short of
capital. The prestige which the
change will give the hank should
bring an increase of riopoafts and
thus larger available funds for
tine, 'flie mere news of the
change is encouraging. Hanks
are usually very conservative.
and the faith which the bank
mruiadPtnent shows in ou re
Ktjurcea and j.ofiibiliUes JvM I if
accepted as sound and it coma
full of inspiration, especially at u
poiiod when so many business
institutions are marking time."

Peputy SberilT Satmderi to take
$50 of the proceeds and secure a
stone for the grave.
Mr,, Tobin was widely known
throughout eastern Baker county,,
having been engaged in mining
and prospecting since the days of
the first settlers in this section
Ho made the Ural "find" of Rolri
atSlurgill Bar, taking out many
thousands of dollais worth cf
nuggets in a short time; other
mines on Snako KJver were also
discovered by him, but not being
of a busin-iss turn of rolntf his
money soon was spent and for
some years past had lived off the
bounty of friends.
"Uncle Bill," as fie was famil
iarly known, was almost 87 years
Qf ago at the time of his death.
Ho was a son-in law of Oregon's
first territorial governor, Gale.

Not long ago two neighbors
maikeled a load of hogs the same
day, and each came to our bunk

saying jokingly, "1 like to hear
tiio money jingle." On tlie road
homo that night n "hold-up" man
stopped both teams and Sam's
money jingled in tho robbor's
pocket. Tho robber didn't oaro

MoralThe man who likes to
hchr money jingle in his pocket
sometimes pays dearly for that
sort of nulsic.
