Gated on the reservation east of Pendleton,
occurred at the BIakeley place the north
side of the Wild Horse, below Adams. The

stopped the fire was a large body of, sum |
mer fallow that luckily happened to nter-
vepe between it and other grain fields 10 the
direction or the wind.

tional bank of The Dalles had closed its I
doors on Monday there was run made for .
4 short tim on the other two banks. Every ,
demand was promptly met till the timid
crowd got ashamed of themselves and

be repeated. " hen depositors found they
could get their money for the asking they
lid not want it. There was as much sense
IN making raid on Dan French's bank as i
they would be in maxim raid on the bank :
If England. And hardly less can be said 4.
,or Moody's bank, and we're mighty glad
If it.
