Tho First NatloMl bank, the first
Institution or Itajklnd In sputhern
Oregon to pass M&.- tnUtlon-dollar

1905, when it first opened Its doors
for business until now It totals $1,
051,449. a gain of several thousand
per cent.
The bank was started In the old
frnmo building now occupied by Dr.
Goblo on tho corner of Main and
Hartlott. Later It moved Into Its own
building on Main between Central
and Front, w'hlch at tho time, of Its
orcctlon was ono of tho flnext busi
ness houses In tho city. These quar
ters In a few short years have been
outgrown, howovur, and tho bank Is
now housed In temporary quarters
whlto a splendid new building with a
stono front Is bolng erected for It at
a cost or $50,000. When this build
ing Is completed It will bo ono of tho
finest, U not tho finest, bank homes

Tho growth of the bank reflects In

wrntc battle with n posse of J.'iO
men. Melville was surrounded on a
hilltop between Vnllejo and Iknicia.
At 0 o'clock lo0 shots had been fired.
The fight began nt 0 o'clock. The
boy is said to have three pistols, and
l."i0 rounds of ammunition. For
three hours he stood off the sssc and
ut U o'clock reinforcements were
nbked from Vnllejo, Ueuicin and Le
non. Thoy hastily gathered and
were rushed to the scene of tho fight.
Hides In Thicket.
Melville took his stand in u thicket
at tho top of the hill. On nil sides
of him the open hill side gnve him n
good view of the movements of the
iwjisc. Although they were concealed
in bushes at the foot of tho hill they
had no chance to rush tho young ban
dit's stronghold.
Melville was believed to be without
provisions or water and the author
ities believe he must soon surrender.
They kept up their fire nnd mclville
returned it volley for volley. The
sheriffs believed that Melville's am
munition would soon be exhausted
and that he could bo captured by
night.
Melville escnped two weeks ngo
from the Preston reform school nnd
since then hns frequently been seen
in the neighborhood, it is nlleged.
A number of saloon robberies in the
neighborhood of Preston have oc
curred and it is asserted by the au
thorities thnt Melville has been the
person who held them up. An attempt
to nrrest him was made but tho au
thorities say he fled heavily armed
nnd threatened to fight.

Shortly after 9 o'clock Melville at

tho top or tho hill. Sherirr Arthur
Vealo or Contra Costa county, who
was in n motor boat off Glencoo, saw
him. Ho fired 15 shots at tho lad.
Melville ran back towards tho top of
tho hill and disappeared among the
bushes and rocks.
Tho posso ceased firing aftor this
encounter and tho lad was lett sur
rounded. Tho posso under Sheriff
Vale, Chler of Polico Sanrord or Val
lojo nnd Sheriff Frazlor of Solano
county completely encircled tho base
of tho hill. They aro about a mtlti
from tho spot whoro tho boy bandit Is

"No statute was over more plainly

country lawyer can tell whnt the law

point out ways to evndeita provis

learned counsel nttempt to evndo tho
law nnd make it conform to their
business. What excuse can any
sworn official give tho people for
failure to enforco tho law when thoy
daily exert themselves to punish
other transgressors with less money

What respect have the oil mid tobac

"The history of tho men of tho
Standard Oil company has been a

it is said he is not responsible us he
