BANK SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE.
THE First National bank oC Heml is sotting an example
to all the country banks of Oregon as a connnnnity
and district developer that can be imitated throughout; the
state to its upbuilding. ,,.,. 1 , ,
Last year the hank brought, two earloads ol line nogs
from Nebraska and sold them to the farmers of that see
tion, taking a mortgage on the hogs as security tor tho
purchase price, and in many instances forming a partner
ship with the farmer, the original investment to.be repaid
out of the earnings of the hogs.
The investment has been so successful that the bank
has this vear sent a buver to Illinois to purchase two ears
of fine llolstein dairv'cows. to be sold on easy terms to
farmers in the vicinity. The bank is also financing a
ereamerv which will soon be ready for operation.
Banks that have a surplus of money on hand eannot
make better use of it than the. bank of Bend is doing.

that has furnished many scandals, under the present
regime.
As food commissioner it is the duty of this officer to
protect the consumer against impure, misbranded and imi
tation food products. As dairy commissioner, to foster and
encourage one of Oregon's most important industries.
There are several candidates for the nomination, but
the one that seems best qualified for the office and who
is pledged for a general cleanup, and a law enforcement
campaign in the interests of pure food, is J. D. lickle,
whose candidacy is endorsed by the most influential mem
bers of the state horticultural association, state grange and
state dairy association, by physicians and health officers
generally.
lr. Mickle has been a resident of Oregon for 25 veal's,
lie has had extended experience both as consumer, middle
man and producer, and is well qualified for impartial law
enforcement. He is a dairyman by occupation, since 1904,
has been vice president of the Oregon Dairymen's associa
tion, organized the first Oregon Cooperative Cow Testing
association, was twice its president, helped organize the
only Cooperative Cream Shippers association in his coun

THE recent grand jury called attention to the neglect
of state fire laws by theater, hotel, lodging house and
other property owners.
Klamath Palls now reports a fire in a two-story lodg'
ing house wherein two of the. inmates lost their lives and
a third was terribly burned.
. . . - .-..a
Oregon has a law which provides that till lodging
houses of this class shall be provided with manila ropes
for each sleeping room, such ropes to be knotted every
twelve inches and securely fastened near a window and of
sufficient length to reach the ground. Had these ropes
been provided in the building burned at Klamath Falls, no
! lives would have been lost.
Who should be blamed'? "Who should be blamed for
similar conditions in Medford? If a bad fire causes heavy
loss or loss of life through non-enforcement of laws, are
not tho public officials at fault as well as the landlords
and tenants?
