NATIONAL (Continued from fage One.) sources or a state-wide financial or ganization," stated Hfirder In com menting on the transaction. "During the past 15 year I have watched Medford grow from a village to a thriving community of more than 12, 000 population. Ab president of the Jackson County Chamber of Com merce. I have had an active part In the program of sectional develop ment that is making Medford the center of a vast area of widely di versified Industries. The llnancial requirements and trading facilities of Medford have outgrown community service and today demand state-wide and world-wide facilities such as will be available through the First Na tional bank of Portland." History of the Wrst National bank of Medford has been one of conslst ' ent growth. In 1905. when Medford had less than 3000 population, this bank was organized with a capitali sation of 25,000. During the past 80 years It has grown to be one of the most fmportant banking units of Oregon with resources in excess of 3,000.000. When the bank opened ' for business In 1005 Medford had no brick buildings and the bank was housed In a wooden structure at the corner of Main and Bartlett streets. A year later better quarters were pro vided In a new brick building con structed at the present site of this j bank. In five years resources of the First National had passed the million j dollar mark and the increased volume j of business necessitated larger and. better facilities. In Modern Building Additional property was purchased and the present bank quarters were constructed, stone, brick, steel and reinforced concrete being employed to make the building modern ami fireproof. -The building was com pleted March 2, 1012, and after more than twenty years this structure Is stilt considered one of Medford's fin est buildings. In 1921 Ben Harder arrived In Med ford to assume presidency of the First National. During the boom years of 1021 to 1031, when Medford popula tion Increased 93 per cent, Harder continually adjusted and Increased the facilities of the First National to meet the growing demands of this community with the result that this bank has a record today aa one of Oregon's soundest and most substan tial banking enterprises. "The trans action, which tomorrow will make this bank a branch of the oldest na tional bank In the west, Is one more step in the growth of Medford's pio neer bank." stated Harder. Aiming Important Links "Medford is one ol the most im portant communities In which wo have established a branch," stated M fickle. "It is gratifying to build n branch here on such a foundation as the First National bank of Medford and with such men as Hnrder, Thorn dike and Crawford to assist usT We are doubly fortunate to secure Mr. Schramm as manager. His wide ex perience throughout the state over a period of more than twenty-two years will be Invaluable In this rapldly gi owing district." In addition to his experience with the f t a t e banking department. Schramm served In different capaci ties with banks at Corvallls and Sa lem. Thorndlke hss been with the local bank more than five years and has had 23 years of banking experience In southern Orepon. Crawford came to the First National only two years after Its organization and has been with the bank continually for more than 28 years. Both will continue their work with the Medford branch of the Flrsa National bank of Port land. Medford Industry Aided 'Slnc4 the founding of Medford the Flijl national bank of Portland has transacted buslnrss In this dis trict," stated E. B. MiU'Naunhton. president. "For ninny yeara we have aided In financing the Medford pcrir crop, which Is the finest In the world, and have extended our fa cilities to other Indu&ilrs in this district. In becoming Innd owners and bankers of Medford we will be able to render a more complete and adequate service and greatly augment our state-wide banking facilities." The First National bank of Port land was organized In 1B65 and re ceived the first rational bank.n charter to be granted west of the Rocky mountain, The pioneer bank ban had an enviable record of growth and today maintains branches In As toria, Albany.

The United States public health service records show that 30 percent of deafness due to Infection of the middle ear can be traced to meas les; 34 percent of deafness due to the same cause can be traced to scarlet fever while the two -diseases com bined for 64 percent of deafness caus ed infection of the middle ear.

A USED 1BIL0IL Behind the news that heralded successful completion of the first air-mail flight of 8000 miles across the Pacific by the 50.000-pound Pan American "China Clipper." are many thrilling news features, happening (luring the years that master minds labored to make regular trans oceanic flights practical. Not the least of these, says a com munication Just received by T. M. Hlgglns, southern district -manager for the General Petroleum corpora tion, from H. W. Taylor, engineer and manager of that corporation's lubrication department, were the careful eatlmates necessary In de signing the four 800-horsepower mo tors. "On the trans-oceanic trip." says Mr. Taylor, "It was necessary to pro vide for ' unfnlterlng performance during an estimated six and a halt million .revolutions of each of the four Wasp Motor crankshaft, and more than 181 million power strokes from the 56 cylinders of these four motors. Van-American experts were also faced with the problem of ob taining a lubricating oil that would stand up under the Intense heat in the 56 upper cylinder walls, and adequately perform lta functions, without faltering for fraction of a second during the 60-hour dash from continent to continent.

FUNERAL FOR HALP PROJECT CONNECTING TWO STATES IS READY PHILADELPHIA (UP) Construc tion of & tlS.OOO.OOO vehicular tun nel under the Delaware river connect ing Pennsylvania and New Jersey Just south of the Philadelphia county line, will begin Immediately If the project 1b approved by army engineers. The tube, which would be the longest four-lane underwater tunnel In the world, would provide a river crossing at point approximately half way between Phlladelphla-Camden bridge and the Chester. Pa. -Bridge port, N. J., ferries, 20 miles down the river. Verus T. Rittr, president of the Delaware River Tunnel Corporation, estimated that 3.000 men would be employed on the project for a period of from two and a half to three years. Plans call for the pre-dredged trench method of construction. After a trough Is dug In the bottom of the river, concrete sections, fitted with water-tight bulkheads, would be floated to the desired location and sunk. ' Under the water they would be fitted and sealed together, and then covered with silt dredged from the trench. The tunnel would be laid In 240-foot sections to leave open at least 800 feet of the river channel to allow ample room for navigation dur ing the period of construction. The completed tube would be 5.- D87 feet long, according to plans of the corporation. Two large ventlla. tlon towers would be located on the river banks. Land for the two en trances already has been obtained. Rltter said that experts have es timated tolls from users of the tun nel would pay for the construction within 15 years. Plans for the tube have the approval of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, state of New Jersey, Pennsylvania Public Service commission, and the New .Jersey Board or Navigation and Commerce. The tunnel and approaches would be turned over to the two states, free of encumbrances, when total earn ings reach 116 per cent of the total cost, after paying 7 per cent annual ly and all operating charges. Approval or army engineers and the War Department now hinges on whether laying of the tunnel at a depth of 61 feet below the mean low water mark of the river would Inter fere with future development of navi gation on the Delaware. The department of wharves, docks, and ferries of Philadelphia has asked the assurance of Col. John C. H. Lee. district army engineer, that the tun nel would not prevent further exten sive dredging of the river channel which would allow deep-draft ships to call at the Port of Philadelphia The present channel depth Is 32 V2 feet, but shipping Interests and the city are asking a 40-foot channel from Philadelphia to the sea. officials of the corporation pointed out, however, that the proposed depth of their pro ject ia one foot lower than the Hol Announcing: The Opening, Saturday, November 30 of THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK ot MEDFORD BRANCH THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PORTLAND JLMIJ D E P O S I TS IN THIS land tunnel under the Hudson river at New York.
