State Bank of Echo Has Served Pa
trons Many Years: Larger Bank
ing Facilities Available.
The first National Bank of Port-
and has assumed the deposit liabili
ty of the State Bank of Echo and
beginning the first- of the week
checks drawn on the Echo bank are
being honored at the Pendleton
Branch of the First National, says
C. C. Clarkson, manager of the Pen
lieton branch. The safe deposit box
es at Echo are not being moved to
Pendleton but it is explained that
lepositors can arrange to have the
contents of their boxes transferred
to Pendleton.
The bank at Echo was first orga-
nized many years ago and at first
was conducted as the Bank of Echo.
In 1924 it was reorganized as the
State Bank of Echo. The officers
ire Joseph Cunha, president, Fred
W. Andrews, vice president and Geo
rge J. Mitchell, cashier. The build
ing at Echo is owned personally by
Mr. Cunha. Mr. Mitchell will remain
at Echo to close up the affairs of the
bank.
The Echo bank is In a sound posi
tion but changes in the banking
laws make it difficult for It to carry
on with loans as heretofore.
“Echo is especially busy in the
winter when stock men move their
stock in from the range. A great
quantity of alfalfa hay is raised in
the surrounding district which
makes it an economical place to win
ter stock,” says E. B. MacNaughton,
president of First National Bank.
“Moving the banking business to
endleton will not greatly incon-
enlence these stockmen and will
make available for them larger
banking facilities than they have
< njoyed before."
The Pendleton branch of the First
National is sending out letters to all
the depositors at Echo giving them
nformation as to procedure con-
cerning their accounts. The sugges-
ion is made that depositors secure

EXCELLENT
PARTS SEEN IN FAMILY LIFE.
Cast Directed by Miss Esther Sibert,
Who is Shaping it for Pre
sentation November 2.
A comedy in three acts, “Polish
ing Papa.” will be presented at the
Oasis theatre next Thursday night,
starting at 8:00 o’clock. It is being
directed by Miss Esther Sibert and
the cast is made up of members of
the junior class.
There is plenty of comedy In this
sparkling play of family life, with
passages of real drama. The story
goes something like this:
Smith’s Sausages were know?
1 throughout the land, but not the
humorous troubles that he had with
his children. Smith is altogether
too ready to amble about his home
minus necktie and shoes and gram
mar; and his son and daughter start
to polish him. But Smith is a pep
pery papa, and when he grows re
sentful, plenty of dramas follow,
what with an English Duke, on
whose title the daughter has her
eye, coming to be impressed, not to
speak of the lovely Rose Parker. The
son hates the sausage business, and
wants to go into something "re
fined,” like/ investment ; hanking;
and that brings plenty of trouble
to him. The English Duke doesn't
turn out so well, either, but the
children and the father all turn out
much better than they ever thought
they would, once the various com
plications and misunderstandings
are straightened out.
