Advantages of a
Checking Account
hi .
Acquaintance
at ¡Bank.
Not the least of the advantages of having
a checking account at this bank is the ac
quaintance which it promotes between the
depositor and our officers.
This acquaintance enables our officers to
get in touch with the interests of the de
positor, and to lend all the co-operation con
sistent with conservative banking.
Our officers gladly welcome the oppor-
tunty to extend the facilities of the bank to
new depositors.

OCEAN WAVE TEARS A
MILE OF TRACT.
Passenger Train Halts Just
in Time----Eltnore Park
Wreck Strewn.
A mighty wall of water, greatly
resembling a tidal wave, came up
from the stormy Pacific Monday
morning and swept the beach for
more than a mile at Elmore Park,
in Tillamook County, tearing rail
road tracts from their beds, under
mining the foundations of dwell
ings and leaving wreckage and ruin
in its path.
Southern Pacific train No. 20,
which left Tillamook at 7 o’clock
Monday morning for Portland, nar
rowly escaped the giant wave. It
arrived on the stretch of open beach
just as the angry waters reached
their height. The engineer saw the
track a few hundred feet ahead of
him go out. He was running slowly
and.applied the brakes. The train
came to a standstill on the edge of
a shallow channel that had been
cut under the tract by the tide.
Tract Hangs Suspended
The rails, twisted and bent out of
shape, spanned the channel, the
ties hanging suspended below them.
A wrecking crew and section
hands repaired the tracts, while
passengers ambled about to take an
inventory of the damage wrought
on other parts of the beach.
Many small dwellings and two
or three larger houses suffered se
verely. The water tore the sand
away fr.un under the foundations
m my of which are of wood. Most
of the houses on this part of the
beach are used by Portland people
as Summer cottages
They are
not intended for permanent occu
pancy, and are not constructed of
heavy material.
Elmore Hotel Damaged.
The Elmore Hotel, which is one
of the largest buildings along the
beach, was damaged considerably.
This building recently has been
raised about eight teet. The water
tore away the steps leading from
the sidewalk to the front porch and
undermined the wooden founda
tion.
The floors of some of the houses
.hat are built nearer to the ground
were flooded.
Train No. 20 arrived in Portland
ibout 10 o’clock Monday night,
ifter being held about eight hours
back of the damaged section of
tract. By making repairs here and
building temporary tracts there a
way was opened for trains to pass
Traffic in both directions then was
restored.
A large force of men
now is at work making per
manent repairs.
W. D. Torrey, of Bailey A Turrey,
linotype operators, was a passen
ger on the train.
Saved by One Minnte.
He describes the wreckage caused
by tide aw pituresque. The mone
tary loss, excepting to the railroad
will not be great. Some people will
be inconvenienced for a while, un
til they get their building ionndu
lions repaired.
"It was lucky for uv,’’aaidTorrey,
"that the train was not a minute
earlier, or that the wave did nof
come up a minute later. A min
ute’s difference and we would have
been right in the path of the de
luge.
"Maybe the weight of the train
would have held the tract in place,
but I should have bated Io have
been on board.”
Tides along the Tillamook coast
have been abnormally high for
more than a week, said Mr. Torrey.
Some alight damage has lieendone,
but nothing serious.
The railroad at Elmore Park rune
near the beach, but nearly half a
mile from the edge of the water at
ordinary tide.
<*n this occasion, however, the
watery wall seemed Io lie three or
four feet higher than ordinary
None of the passengers saw the
destructive wave,
The engineer
and others members of the train
crew saw it
The tide was running in at the
time No repairs bould be made
until it started to recede.

It was Up to W. G. Dwight.
W. G. Dwight was one of those
who was so much interested in
keeping the tax levy down and re
ducing the amount of road work for
next year. He tided as Man Fri
day for the timber men in the agi
tation. Now if Mr. Dwight was so
concerned about the poor, over
worked tax paver, we would like to
know why he didn’t cut out the two
mills for the Water Commission, of
which he is a member. Notwith
standing that the poor tax payers
are paying twice the amount for
water in this city where water is so
plentiful to what is paid iti other
cities, the poor tax payers are taxed
2 mills every year besides, and if
he will take the trouble to aacertuin,
he will soon find that by previous
city councils appropriating large
amounts every year and two mills
levy the amount of money the poor
tax payers have had to pay besides
their water rent, must come to
nearly $20,000. Why not give the
poor tax payers of this city a rest,
Mr. Dwight, for you were very so
licitions in helping the timber men
eave $79,898 in taxation and in cur
tailing road work in the county.
And another thing we du not
wish to insinuate that there ia any
thing wrong or crooked in it—but
haven’t the Water Commissioners
loaned money to themselves and
haven’t Mr. Dwight been fortu
nate, as a Water Commissioner, in
getting some of it? Of course lie
lias, and the poor tax payers and
over taxed water users have had to
put up the money for it.
With the revival of the discussion
of uniform divorce laws, federal su
pervision of life insurance, an inter
state trade commission, the granting
of federal charters, federal appro
priation for highways, federal pri
mary laws, federal suffrage amend
ments and federal investigation of
cold storage plants in the vurioua
cities, the past week’s news illus
trates how great is the tendency to
ward elimination of state lines that
were once guarded with such jeal
ously.
Without regard to tradi
tional party policies, all sorts of
bil s are being introduced in Con
gress which would give to the Fed
eral Government powers hitherto
exercised by the states alone. The
thousand anil one organizations
throughout the country direct their
guns on Washington. The creation
of new departments or bureaus
under the present departments, to
make investigations and devise
regulations for a multitude of sub-
jeits with which the National Gov
ernment lias never dealt heretofore,
ia being peraistenly agitated. Ev
ery evasion Congress makes appro
priations that u generation ago
would have been resisted from one
end of the country to the other as
in conflict with the organic law and
the whole dual system of govern
ment. That the United States is
becoming a nation, "with a big
N,” can no longer be denied.
