Mark E. Reed will shortly be back to
his old position in charge of the busi-
ness of the Lumberman's Mercantile
Company, as the result of change in
the Capital National Bank at Olympia
Ever since Mr.. Lord, who founded
that bank and built up splendid bust
ness, disposed Of his interests in Oly-
mpIa to 5. G, Simpson and moved to
the larger field in Seattle, he has not
been satisfied. Recently a deal was
completed whereby Mr.. Lord secures
part of his stock in the Capital Nation
al and his old home in that city. and
returns to the bank management,
while Mr.. Simpson secures the Lord
home and other interests IN Seattle.

spring, except that Mr.. Simpson re-
tains big block of the bank stock.
This leaves Mark Reed free to resume
the management of the local bus1n ess,
