RumOrs That He Is Living SOme-
where in Iowa.

NEW YORK, Aug. lin connection
with the deep mystery as to the where
abouts OF William A. Rockefeller, fatiier
of John D., William and Frank Rocke.
feller, there have been vague rumors for
two years past that the old man was
living somewhere in Iowa. Frank
Rockefeller charges his brother, john
D., with starting these rumors in order
to deepen the mystery and to conceal
the actual babitstion of their father.
The world ran down the report con-
corning Iowa during it's IS month";
search for the father of the oil magnates,
and the results were curious. Its iu-
formation purported to come from
msn who had actually seen John DIS
father IN his place of concealment only
one year before, and who had located
him in Cedar Valley, Iowa. 1t described
the aged man as physical and mental
wreck, unable to leave bis bed and
mumbling curses day and night. HIS
home was said to be an isolated farm
house and his sole attendant man who
Stunned his neighbors and guarded his
secret closely. On this clew a World
reporter visited Cedar Valley, wide
tract of farming country, thinly pop
ulated and virtually snowbound through
the long Winters. THE farmers are
tacturn and suspicious. They live on
isolated farms and each minds his
own business. Almost every farmer
questioned told OF an old man by tho
name of Rockefeller who lived in toe
county. Some described him as q tai,
stout man OF great age-s description
that seemed to tit the vanished father OF
of John D.
Notuntil every corner of Cedar County
had been ransacked did the reporter
find real clew. Then the discovery
was made that H. II. Rockefeller, =
small farmer near Springdale. in the
heart of the big county, had sold OUT
and moved away only short time be-
fore. He had an old father with him
and was something of mystery TO the
neigl borhood.

Brakeman Mcqueen, on the local
branch, has helped the farmers
more than any other one man by
bringing up men from Arlington
to work in the harvest fields, says
the Condor Globe. The majority
who land in Arlington will not
believe there can be any farming
country out here, and it is only
by guaranteeing them lots of work
that they can be induced to venture
out this way, and that is what Mr..
Mcqueen has been doing.

CHASING
COYOTES
Royal Sport With Fast
Running Dogs.
Coyotes Increasing Rapidly..D0g
Bitten by Rattlesnake In
Coyote Fight.

OOyote cnaSlnP with last runnln
dogs is becoming popular spor
among a number of Heppne
people.
1t seems that since the bount,
was taken of, the interest in scalp
ing coyotes has fallen to low ebl
and consequently the cunning anc
wary coyote is fast Oh the in
crease.
1t is said that coyotes were never
more numerous in Morrow county
1t Is not unusual for one or more
of these animals to come into towr
and raid city henroost in the
early hours of the morning and
carry away a chicken for breakfast.
Coyotes are not only hard to
trap and shoot but they are hard
to catch any way you go after
them. 1t is only pastime and light
exercise for one OF these animals
to run away from an ordinary dog
and to get them requires the fastest
running dogs obtainable.
DR.. Kistner, Mike Roberts, Percy
Garrigues, Billy GOWNS and a few
others have for some time been
gathering up a bunch of dogs that
can run fast enough to catch a
coyote. 1t not only takes speed
but endurance and fighting ability
to handle full grown coyote, for
when run down and caught the
coyote will put up a fight for his
life that is not to be sneered at.
DR.. Kistner has a pack of high
bred Russian wolf hounds, while
Mike Roberts, Percy Garrigues,
Billy GOWNS, Newt MILESTONE
and a few others have a number of

and stag hound which makes a
good dog for catching coyotes.

ments made to the Comptroller oi
the Currency, the date chosen be.
ing September, the statements
made then being published in a
large volume by the Government.
To secure place on the Roll of
Honor bank must show surplus
and dividend profits equal to or in
excess of its capital stock-that is,
assuming the capital to be one
hundred per cent, the profits and
surplus must exceed the percentage.
In other words, a Roll of Honor
bank has on hand, in the form of
surplus and profits, an amount
larger than its capital. A banks
numerical order on the Roll is
based on the percentage of surplus
and profits to capital.
According to the last annual
report of the Comptroller of the
Currency, there were 6,137 banks
in operation under National
Charters. Of these only $50 are
entitled to positions on the Roll.
This means that out of every 100
banks doing business Fare entitled
to mention.
In the Roll of Honor out of the
$50 national banks The First
National of Heppner, stands in the
list as the 604th and is fourth in
the state of Oregon.
For many years the First
National Bank of Heppner has
stood right at the top among the
strong financial institutions of the
state.
The institution received q charter
on July 26, 1887. John Maddox
was the first cashier and from q
small start has made a steady and
rapid growth.
After two years service as
cashier Mr.. Maddox was succeed
ed bv George Conser who has been
the faithful and trusty officer ever
since and still holds the position
with a record to be proud of as q
banker and business man. Mr..
Conser worked with untiring
energy from the time when he
handled all the business and had
time to spare until the present time

WHAT DID 1T INDICATEo

Tn" Winston-Salem Journal, not
ing the fact that there are only about
one-thirG as nan convicts in tile
penitentiary a. were twenty-five
years ago, reaches the conclusion
there has been a great decrease
in crime in North Carolina.
We hope the Journal is right, and
we believe that there is a decrease
of crimes of a certain character, bat
the mere fact that the number of
convicts in the penintentiary has de-
creased does not necessarily mean
that crime has decreased. Twenty
five years G all the convicts were
sent to the penintentiary, whereas
today most of the larger counties. by
special acts of the Legislature. keep
their coEvicts at home to make good
roads. Road improvement and con-
structiol has made great progress in
many counties and the good work
goes on. The State is to be congrat-
ulated whenever a county make the
necessary provision for working its
convicts on the public roads.
