Bank Advertisement No. 10 We have been asked so many times for our opinion of the new Federal Reserve Act com monly called the Currency Bill, that we shall use this issue to make a short statement regarding the new law. First let us emphasize the fact that our own attitude towards the measure is entirely friendly and we expect either directly or indirectly to be greatly benefited by it. Three of our directors,' Messrs. Leslie Butler, E. H. French and Truman Butler had the privilege of attending the hearing held by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Secretary of Agriculture Houston in Portland on January 30th. The Federal reserve act is undoubtedly the greatest piece of constructive financial legisla tion of modern time3 and its administration by able and impartial men will be of greatest bene fit to the entire country. One could not help being impressed with the view taken by Secre tary McAdoo when he said that if it served only one of its purposes that of preventing panics in tKe future it should be considered 100 good. The same sentiment was expressed by A. L. . Mill, President of the Portland Clearing House, when he said "as a resultof this bill this country will never again see a financial panic." The regulations governing state banks en- . tering the reserve system have not been publish ed and ea the clause requiring National banks to apply for membership on or before February 23 km not apply to state banks we shall probably take further time to consider the matter. 'We have some advantages under the state charter which we would.not have under the Fed eral Reserve Act and we may find that we can better serve this community by continuing to op erate under our state charter with an arrange ment through one or more of our city correspon dents by which we can give our customers the added advantage of the Reserve" Association. In any event the doors of the Reserve Asso ciation are open to us at any time and we will enter when we are satisfied that your interest as well as ours will be best served by our so doing. - BUTLER BANKING COMPANY L.

I That, in the opinion of G. A. John- sn, of Portland, one of the speakers at the Hood Kiver Commercial club : banquet Monday night, shoflld be the modern Oregon paraphrase of the "Now 1 lay me" prayer which was so sppropriate and reverent in childhood. And 200 men in the Hotel Ureogn din ing room cheered the sentiment to the echo. For Monday night, February 2. 1914, brought the annual Hood Kiver Com mercial club banquet and "jinks", and the usual transfer of club management from the old to the new. Members of the club and their friends assembled at the club rooms, and at 8 o'clock went in a body to the Hotel Oregon, where they completely filled the big dining room, and addressed themselves to an excellent and well served feist. Ibis is the menu: Cream of Rice Soup, Celery, Sweet Pickles, Ripe Olives, Fillet of Sole, Tartar Sauce, Croquettes I'Mignon de Kechambeau, Saratoga Chips, Roast Stuffed Young Chicken, String Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Shrimp Salad, Ice Cream and Cuke, Coffee. Only the coffee didn't get any farther than the menu card. Hut cigars came along, and nobody complained at the substitution.' President, Heilbronner called .the as sembly to order, and made a brief statement, urging unity of effort for the good of tn club, that its success in advancing the interests of the whole valley might be even more marked in the future than they have been in the past. He then introduced Mr. Clark, the retiring president, who' by virtue of that oltice, became toastmatser for the evening. Mr. Clark expressed the hope that the club might go forward in woik for the betterment of Oregon in general, and in Hood River valley in particular, and then introduced U. A. Johnson, long a prominent factor in the success pf the Portland Commercial club. He assured his hearers that he brought the friendly greeting of that larger body, and launched in an im pressive word picture of the beauties of Hood River valley. He regarded the presence here of a university club of 150 members as significant of the high order of citixenibiu in tha community. He told of the world wide fame of the Hond Kiver fruit, and declared that a friclid bought Hood Kiver apples in China, and tound the seller alive to the significance of their fame. The speak er a exuerience in club work taught him that the interest of the Hood Kiver Commercial club was not in the town alone, but in the entire valley and district; and that success here would be fully attained only when all the people of the vattey worked to gether in harmony fr its.and their own betterment. He urged construc tive criticism, but deplored destructive knocking. Mr. Johnson closed with a beautiful tribute to Oregon, and impressively pronounced his message of optimism, faith and courage. K. A. Booth, of Eugene, was then introuced as "the next United States senator from Oregon." He is one of Oregon's commissioners to the Panama Pacific exposition of 1915, and declared the commission's willingness to do everything possible for the furtherance of Hood Kiver county's interests in that great fair. Aside from that phase of his remarks, Mr. Booth's address was an inspiring argument for the broader and better citizenship of the whole wide world; for the peaceful settlement of all disputes, and for the givirg of an absolute equivalent for all we received. There was a hint of senate timber in the man as he spoke of the broad and universal character'of the exposition, of its Miiportance to the whole race, and of our nation's share in the betterment of that race, and the obligation its superior equipment laid upon our nation and our state. His tribute to the valley and its peo ple, whether or not identified with the Hood, Kiver Commercial club, was beautiful and impressive, and wot) for Mr. Booth most convincing applause. President Heilbronner then an nounced the conclusion of the session, and invited all present to attend the vaudeville performance at the assem bly rooms of the club. The hall was filled in a very short time, and silence followed the music of a piano which, with the performing, company, re mained concealed behind curtains which presently parted, reveallsg Wilmer Sieg as interlocutor, Clarence Gilbert' and Arthur Clarke as bones; and Messrs. Kelly and Cruikshank as tam bourines. Back of this line were grouped J. A. Epping, L. A. Hender son, t,ste Brosius, tester Perkins, Cul ver Osgood, C. H. vaughan, P. G. Schreuder and E. M. Spaulding, with Hans Hoerlein as accompanist. Soros by Mr. Osgood and Mr. Brosius, with chorus effects, and a charming English ballad by Mr. ripping, earning and receiving an encore, were interspersed with local "quips by the blackfaced talent. The singing was heartily ap plauded, and the humorous stories at . the expense of various prominent peo ple in the club, provoked uproarous laughter. The session concluded at ! midnight. I Taken altogether, the affair is con sidered most successful in every way. The evident sentiment of the club's interest in the affairs of every section and every citizen of the valley is hailed as a promise of advancement both for the club and the community. And the visit of Mr. Booth and Mr. Johnson, j with their lofty and eloquently ex 1 pressed sentiments, are recognized as a stimulus for the oragnization, a closer union for all elements of the district, I and a harbinger of a greater prosper ity than has ever been known in the i past.

Wa , Waugh, RAILWAYS MUST SEVER RIVER UNES The Panama Canal Act will make it necessary for railways in the United States to discontinue operation of their competing steamboat lines. This fart was recently brought out by J. N. Teal in the following report to the Portland Chamber of Commerce: "The time is faRt approaching when the railroads must show good cause for continuing their operation or disuose of their competing steamboat lines On the waterways of the United States. Ever since the passage of the Panama Canal Act opportunity has been had to mBke disposition of them, but I have yet to hear of anv effort being made In this direction. Unless it is extended by tha Interstate Commerce Commisison the time limit expires July 1, 1914. No doubt efforts will be made by the rail roads to secure the help of such bodies ss this or their tacil consent to the continuance of existing conditions. I sincerely hope that this organization at least will not allow itself to be deluded or beguiled into taking any such course of action. It is through no feeilng of hostility to the railroads I sky this, but because the need9 of commerce require that the waterways of this country must be freed of a condition that, has been used to prevent water competi tion, yes water transportation. It is no part of a railway's business to oper ate competing lines of steamboatB and we can uever have our waterways serve their true purpose until the grip which has throttled their use is broken. It is not a matter of sentiment, or of good fellowship, it is a matter of self preservation and of immediate and di rect concern to us all. So I again say, as we were amongst thr leaders in se curing the enactment of the law, let us be amongst the leaders in seeing that it is enforced." SOCIETIES WILL HAVE A UNION MEETING The young people's societies of Hood River churches in their desire to reach the highest possible point of efficiency, have planned a rally for next Saturday and Sunday. Aside from the inspira tion which would be received from this union meeting the young people are to have the help of G.

Kottman, interstate and inter provincial field secretary for the north west of the United States and western Canada.
