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.

by statistics of tho United States

More permanent disabilities result

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.
The statistics also disclose that ten
percent of measles cases develop seri
ous life-long complications involving
the heart, lungs, kidneys and other
organs, with a pro-dlsposltlon to tu
berculosis and other ailments; ten
percent of scarlet fever cases produce
kidney complications while 75 per

PROJECT
CONNECTING TWO

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
