murder of Charles L. Taylor, Mc

the summit of the Cascade moun

July, began here and it is expected
to last over a week. In his opening
statment before the jury, District At

Jay II. Dobbins Resigns.
Jay H. Dobbiu has resigned as pre.
sident of the Columbia Basin Wool
Warehouse company of Portland, and
T. J. Mahoney of Heppner has been
elected to the office. The company
was formed by woolgrowers of the
state to conduct warehouses in Port
land for handling the clip of north
west states, and for helping finance
the industry. It has been a commer

slart and lias been of much value to
the sheep growers. Mr. Dobbin is
credited with being the originator of
the idea and has been president since

The time has long passed when a bank was sur
rounded witli so much mystery and red tape that cus
tomers felt ill at ease every time they went to the
hank to transact business.
Today, the progressive bank is a FRIENDLY
INSTITi'TlON designed to give service cheerfully
and as a M'SINESS DUTY rather than as a favor.
At least, that is how this bank regards it.
JVrhaps that is one of the good reasons why
many n-fer to this bank as "my bank," based on the
spirit of friendliness and -co-operation they encoun
ter whenever they call.
IVrhaps, iuti, it is another reason why people
like to save where they think they are welcome, and
where, in addition, they know their money is abso
lutely safe.
Whether you wish to open a savings or checking
account, or wish to transact business in one of the
other departments of this bank, you will appreciate
this spirit of friendliness which we believe is good
business.
