The First National Bank of Hermiston I Capital & Surplus $30,000 —nie CHIEF SAGAPATE, the most cruel, handsomest savaoe on earth Since the death of Colonel Roose- velt, old-timers In Washington have been recalling many Incidents Illus trative of the tremendous vitality of the man. his determination to get things accomplished, and his unwill ingness to let red tape interfere with the accomplishment of that which seemed necessary to be done. One nf these incidents was recounted the other day by Col. William Boyce Thompson, chairman of the Roose- volt Memorial association. It was narrated with much appreciation by a congressman who didn't appreciate ft 80 much when It occurred. It ran as follows : The government was co-operating with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroads In the project for a new union station—the present fine edifice. The site of the Pennsylvania’s old station—now the mall near the White House—had been purchased by the government, and It was purposed to raze the buildings. But congress had been held late In a special ses sion. and the members were anxious to get home, so it was decided to postpone the letting of bids for tear ing down the buildings until congress reassembled the next fall. This duty * naturally devolved on the committee on the District of Columbia, which has charge of government property In the district. Meantime a major of engineers was placed in charge, as custodian. When the committee held Its first meeting at the next session of con gress, the matter of letting contracts fnr the razing of the old station was brought up. “Why, gentlemen," declared an as tonished representative, “there Is nothing to tear down. I walked past there this morning, and there's noth ing hut the bare earth where the old station stood." The committee sent post-haste for the custodian, and the chairman asked him sharply what had become of the building he had charge of, “It has been razed and the material stored, sir.” replied the major. “By whose order?” queried the chairman, red in the face.

And I did, sir." And congress decided to consider It n fact accomplished, and let it go at that. s The Neighborhood Club will give an ice cream social on Wednesday CONFECTIONERY evening.
