Leslie and Truman BuUer came to Hood River in April in 1900 and established the first bank in the Valley. We started as a partnership under the firm name of Butler & Company, Bankers, in the little room now occupied by the City Recorder on ak Street. Our deposits at the close of the first year were $36,000.00. In 1905 we incorporated as the Butler Bank ing Company with a capital of $50,000.00, which was increased in 1910 to $100,000.00 to take care of the steadily increasing business. We publish a statement of our condition at the call of the State Banking Department five times each year. The first call in 1914 will prob ably come during the month of January and we hope to have the pleasure of showing at that time that our deposits are very near the half million mark. We shall probably not be able to maintain this high kvet during the entire year, for our customers will have mortgages, to pay and im provements to make, but our statement should reflect a very good financial condition in the Val ley and incidentally the figures yill serve as a tribute to cur part of the work of developing Hood River during the past fourteen year.

The council ! at the first meeting of the year. flon- dav nuht. instructed City Harahal Carson to ejiforce an ordinance provid I ing for such measures. The lav waa passed by the council in 1907, but Das never been enforced. Local cigar stores have never made use of the alot machines to any great extent, and the naughtiest indulgence of local citizens has been the shaking of dice for cigara. lhia plc4nt peetia if r forever tabooed with the ckrar elevk.

Mr. Morse pretests aainei the acceptance on account of numerous faults in construction, the council win finish un this matter after the fire and water committee has had en opportun ity to thorouifly comprehend the mat ter and to conftf with the city engin eer. One of the most cratifyinc reports made Monday night that showing the cost of operation ofj the municipal affairs. Because of the efficiency with which the new water system it main tained, the costs for the past year were hut $3,411.64, while In 1912 they were $5,190.03. 'lhe income haa re mained the same. However, with the recheck of the water system the income will probably increase $i,uuu a year. The object sought by this bill is to make it possible for the settler to make hitf Eomeetead fit f place for himself and family to live in before be ia obliged to take up actual residence thereon. It gives him the opportunity to earn tb money to improve hie land at the same time that he ia making it habitable. So many eastern members of congress are opposed to abolishing the residence requirement on home steads because of tbier fear that lands would fsll into bands of speculators instead of bona fide aettlera that it ia practically impossible to get such a measure through. 'J his bill, while not abolishing the residence requirement, helps the tettler to get over the ob stacles which now trouble him most. 1 am in bopea that it will meet with favor from eastern members oppoeeo to the abolition of residence jttjuire ruent altogether and already have con siderable encouragement to that end. Mr. Sinnott baa asked homesteaders of this state to write him their opin- iona of the new law. "And it will help me materialy," he says, " in get ting the law passed, if the homstead ers will write me of their hardships and experiencea on account of the paesent drastic requirements."

B.-Many Car Loads Leave Warehouse Daily at Satisfactory Prices Reports from different sources that local apples have been aold at low prices on the eastern auction have been the source of worry among local crchardists, who have made inquiries at the offices of the Apple Urewers At- -sociatiog. Wilmer Sieg yesterday de nied the authenticity of auch reports : nd has proven to the satisfaction of those who have made calls on him tbaA such statements are erroneous. ' The statements that the Blue Dia mond brand of the Association haa been aold on the rtiiliaielphia auction -market for the account of the Associa tion are absolutely false," says Mr.' Sieg. John B. Cancelmo, of 1'hiladel-' phia, who for years has been a good customer of the Apple Growers' Union and of the Association this year, made parchaset from ut this year, all f. o. -b., and paying as fast as bills were presented; He has perhaps made auc- lion sales of this fruit, but always for . his own account and nut ours: for tto fruit had already been sold to him. ' many misleading statements htva been made regarding, the quailty stand point of the Blue Diamond brand. Tht Blue Diamond does not denote qua! ity. Uit it the registered trade mark of the Union. The labela carry the atatment at to whether the fruit is choice, fancy or extra fancy, etc. The bodiea of all the brands are the tame. The differ ence appears only in tne woras mat denote the grade. It it unfortunaa that anyone would allow himtelf to be misled at to the Blue Diamontl repre-' senting the highest quality of loctl fruit and that alone.
