ities at the annual convention of the
State Hankers' Association at Med
ford. and at that of the Retail Mer
chants' Association at LaGrande.
Resolutions were adopted by both
organizations urging bankers and
business men to continue their ef
forts to bring experienced farmers
into the state, help them to locate on
lands at reasonable prices and assist
the farmers now here to an Increased
prosperity. The depression In lum
ber, building and railroad construc

Oregon, in the opinion of the bankers
and merchants, by success in agri
cultural lines. Good crop prospects
were reported from every county ia
the state.
