GOOD BANK Showing
First National Bank of Athena Ranks
Third Financially, In
This County.

Banks are regarded as an index to
the financial condition of both town
and community. This being the case,
the report made last week by the First
National Bank of Athena to the comp
troller of the currency, shows that
Athena citizens and the farmers sur
rounding are in prosperous condition.
The report shows the deposits of the
bank to be $268. .O39.75 cash. $115,-
49S.5S and surplus fund of sac, 900.
This splendid showing places the local
bank as ranking chird financially and
In volume of business transacted, with
the banks of the county, the Pendleton
Savings Bank, and the First National
of that city alone exoelling It.
The stock Of the First National of
Athena is largely owned by local
people, solid men owning property here.
This, in great measure, in addition
to the practical business methods om-
ployed by the officials is the key to the
success of one of the most solid bank
ing institutions in Eastern Oregon.
The bank is one of three National
banks in Umatilla county, the others
being the First National and the Com
mercial National, both Of Pendleton.

DAREDEVIL SMALLEY
Came Near Burning to Death in Spec
tacular Performance at
MeadOr Park.

The following account of daredevil
performance on the part of Ralph
Smalley, painter who worked in this
city for some time, is taken from the
Walla Walla Union;
Before the eyes of thousands of spec
tators, few of whom realized at the
time just where make believe" ended
and tragedy began Ralph Smalley was
almost burned to death at Meador Park
Monday evening.
Smalley, who is a local painted,
volunteered to perform the daring feat,
"slide for Life, scheduled as a part
of the Labor Day program. after
William Christie, a professional per-
former who was engaged to- % the act,
had refused. The slide wa. o be the
spectacular closing scene Of the enter
tainment. A heavy steel wire was
extended from the top of high cot
tonwood tree to point across the
river. The performer wae clothed in
asbestos, which was saturated with
oil, just as the man started to slide
down the wire, the oil was lighted,
the plan being to smother the flames
as soon as the performer reached the
earth. Carelessness, it is said, on the
part of his assistants, resulted in delay
in applying the wet blankets and be-
fore the fire could be extinguished
Smalley was horribly burned. It is
believed Smalley will recover.

Under escort of its commander, V.

MAY MAKE A CHANGE
Excuse Is Republicans in Southern
States Have Too Much influence
in National Councils.

Again has agitation been revived for
reducing southern representation in
republican national conventions, ac-
cording to Washington dispatch.
When the republican national commit
tee meets in Washington next Decem.
ber, the matter will be taken up for
consider alton, and some recommenda.
tion may be made on the subject to the
next national convention. It would
require action by the convention, of
course. to change the present method
of apportioning the delegates.
Under the present system. each CON-
gressional district is entitled to two
delegates and in addition each state lie
entitled to two delegates-a at-large, one
for each senator. Agitators for a
change in the system propose that con-
ventions shall be composed Of approx
mately the same number of delegates
they now seat, but that representation
shall Ee based upon the republican
vote cast at the last previous national
election. This would greatly decrease
the number Of delegates for those
southern states, where the repuh hlican
vote is negligible and greatly increase
the representation of northern states,
especially such states as Pennsylvania
where the republican vote is over
whelming.
Two arguments are advanced in sup
port of the proposed change. One is
that under the present system repub-
lican voter In Georgia, for instance,
has four ur FIVE times as much repre-
sentaton as has Republican voter In
Ohio or Iowa. giving him an unfair
amount of influence in the selection of
candidates and the drafting of plat
forms. The second arguments is that
the proposed new system would tend
to increase the republican vote. the
premium of an increased number of
delegates being an incentive to party
workers to get out the vote.
A number of years ago Henry G.
Payne, of Wisconsin, then vice chair
man of the republican national com.
mittee and later postmaster general,
started an agitation for reduction OF
southern representation and the matter
was taken up by the committee, but
nothing came of it.

Garden Lands Paying Well.

William CLARK, who resides a short
distance from Freewater. is the owner
of choice tract of garden land, con-
sisting of 28 acres, which is making a
phenomenal record in the production
Of vegetables, there being no fruit
trees on the land, and the fact that he
has recently refused cash offer of
$4,000 for bis place is substantial
evidence as to its commercial value.
This year Mr.. Clark has FIVE acres in
onions. which he says will yield $50
sacke to the acre, and they are already
contracted at 81. 80 sack; the balance
of his land is planted to potatoes,
which will produce a big yield and
for which he expects to realize 81 a
hundred.

"Swap" Them to Wood.

Jim Bryan undoubtedly lives on one
OF the most productive farms on earth.
His wheat is always the best, his gar
den truck can't be excelled and his
hens lay more eggs than anybody Sin
tact, produOtiveness abounds in huge
clusters out there. It is SO ALFRED
pronounced that it has attacked Carl
Charlton and Will Tyack, couple of
Bryan's farm hands. They have a
herd of greyhound pups. The boys
have gone broke buying meat for their
carniverous CANNES and they want to
unload. The Press suggests that they
swap" the pups to Col. Wood for
onions. A greyhound will masticate
anything from a flea to a maverick
bullock, and in view of the fact that
the car shortage still exists, here is an
opportunity for the colonel to get rid
of his crop to the mutual advantage
of all concerned.
