The following from the Oakesdale Sun
will be read with interest, as it speaks
of one of our young men, who is making
his mark in the young State of Washing
ton: "Mr. G. f. Huling, who has been
president of the Oasiesdale Savings bank
for the past year, severed his connection
with that institution recently, in order
to devote his entire time to the broker
age business. Mr. Huling has been for
over two years resident of this city,
and in that time has shown that he is
man of exceptional business qualifca-
tions, and now occupies position as
one of our foremost business men.
About six months ago he was elected to
the presidency of the 0akesdale Savings
bank, and was then one of the youngest
bank presidents in the United States.
Outside of his banking business he con-
Quoted farm loan ard real estate bust
ness, which has so steadily increased as
to require all of his attention. Mr.. HUI
ing now occupies fine Office in the rear
of the Savings bank, on the corner of
Steptoe avenue and First street where he
can be found at all times"
A short time since H. C. White was
driving his thoroughbred, Lady Va
neer," in the vicinity of the depot, rely
ing upon his skill in handling the rib
bons for his salty, when the switching
engine came along. The horse was
somewhat excited, causing the expert to
draw the lines more taut, when the bits
parted in the middle leaving him no con-
troll of the animal. She darted forward
and around the corner of the depot,
while the serene reinsman, bundled in
blankets and robes, made a plunge for
the ground. In few seconds the fright
ened horse was in few feet of the engine,
which she had approached almost with
out noticing it, and stopping, stood
trembling and frightened. Mr.. White,
who falling with the blankets was not
hurt, Immediately collected himself and
ran and grasped the over check hit which
was still in use, and led his favorite
away in triumph home, looking around
to see if anybody had noticed him. A
friend later told him if he would come
up to his home he would give him "bit"
that would be better. On asking what
kind it was, he said he would advice him
to see that his harness was always in
safe condition.
