Checks Less Than a Dollar All Right

Checks Less Than q Dollar All Right.
Cashier Earl Roberts, of the Bank
of Colfax calls our attention to the
erroneous statement that has been
going the rounds OF the press. alleging
that a check drawn for less amount
than one dollaris Illegal. This state
ment Is contradicted by the Ameri-
can Bankers Journal.
In reply to the many questions
propounded to the General Counsel
Of the American Bankers Associa-
ton, in the October issue of the Jour-
nal of that Association. he has this
to say concerning whether 1t Is law
full to draw a check for less than one
dollar: 1.-The answer to all such in
quiries has been that the newspaper
reports are erroneous; that Congress-
has not passed any new law on the
subject. but that the law in question
has been in force for nearly half n
century. having been enacted I'm 1862;
and that such law has never been
construed to prohibit the giving of
checks for less than one dollar as or

Truck Farming.

these sections did not enjoy good
railroad facilities, aud could not

steady improvement in the trans

crop being only % percent of normal,
except in the prairie lands, where the
boil weevils were less destructive.
The truck farms in the immediate
vicinity Of New Orleans all produced
splendid crops of lettuce, cucumbers,
radishes. beets, parsley and cabbage.
A much greater area was put in cul-
tivation and the truckers got good |
returns. They are all, with very few
exceptions, in good financial condi-
ton, and are now preparing to put
in their fall crops. There was verv

good prices prevailed all season, from

Upon a review of the whole testi-

The story of Vale would be incom-
plete indeed without a peep at r. B.
Hoyt, the popular and painstaking
station agent of the Oregon Short Line
at this point for the last 10 months.
Vale has been particularly fortunate
in its local railroad representatives
during its neutrality-suspicious. life,
but even its proverbial good luck was
eclipsed when Mr.. Hoyt unpacked his
trunk here. For the charm Of courtesy
and congeniality is his to an unusual
degree, as we'll as an all round mastery
of the duties of his office. If your
freight or express has come he makes
it his business to know 1t, and 1t seems
to afford him pleasure both to i'm
part the joyous tidings and to speed it's
delivery to you. But if it has been long
delayed and has not come he seems to
be SO manifestly sorry for you that you
are half glad it didn't come.
Although native of Salt Lake City
Mr.. Hoyt hasn't even one wife-as
yet But if you suspect he is a woman
hater you do him great injustice.
His railroad career began five years
ago as a freight wrestler for the
Southern Pacific, at Palasade, Nevada.
Shortly thereafter he took an up
ward step, as telegraph operator, and
for two years prior to his appointment
to Vale he served as cashier for the
Oregon Short Line at Twin Falls,
company he has given three faithful
years of service to.
A 20 acre fruit farm, one and one
half miles from Twin Falls is a pos
session in which he feels a pardonable
pride.
Indeed both the railroad company
and the town have cause for congrat-
ulation in their young station agent,
R. B. Hoyt.

RELIABLE GENERAL AGENTS
For Oil and Gas Stocks.
&. Z. Mueller and Ii. p. Osborn.

Z. Z. Mueller and Ii. r. Osborne.
No men have more interesting Of
fers to make discerning investors In
oil and gas stocks in the Malheur and
Harvey valley districts than Messrs.
Osborne and Mueller, general agents
for several OF the best companies in
this neck of the country.
All the companies that they repre-
sent have been examined by experts
OF such standing and reputation for
competency and reliability that their
reports on a field are worthy of all
consideration. Hence Messrs. Mueller
& Osborne are In position to present
all their stocks to investors, with good
grounds for bordering over.
These men are properly fortified by
ability, by close personal knowledge
of the business, and by honesty and
reasonable caution. And like all men
with legitimate proposition, they
scrupulously shun Misrepresentation
or extravaganza of statements, conse-
quently, If you buy stock from them
you will do it with the assurance that
the cards have not been stacked
against you, with the assurance that
you will not be pouring your treasured
reserves into a Keely motor or sea
water-gold proposition, or some Other
equally alluring rat-hole.
Messrs. Osborne and Mueller have
demonstrated their unbounded faith
in the companies they represent by in
Vesting practically every dollar o.
their personal savings in those stocks
Considered personally, c. C. Mueller
is the secretary and a director of the
National Oil & Gas company, a com
pany with men behind it who are a
naneially strong Vale and Weisel
men for the most part. Until quite
recently Mr.. Mueller was assistan
cashier of the First Bank of Vale. HI
resigned TO embark in the oil and rea
estate business.
Mr.. Mueller halls from Emmetts
/ burg, Iowa, and came to Oregon equip
ped with twenty years of experience,
in handling real estate.
H p Osborne is a director of tn,
Vale Oil & Gas Co. and a large stock
holder in the National Oil & Gas Co.

as, and Bakersfield and Los Angeles,
CAL, and he is unQuaIfedly of the
opinion that the Vale oil fields will
early eclipse any of the above as
money-earners.
For six years Mr.. Osborn has been
an Oregonian and in Malheur county
all this time.
New York City is his birthplace. For
hVe years he was chief engineer of
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. But the
west has been his home for the past
II years and Vale has been his home
for nearly five years.
Thus we have given a hint of men
who are not overly enthusiastic nor
sadly lacking in judgment-hard-he
ed. honest business men who insist
that the underlying principle of sue
cessful promoting is to always make
money with your friends, not off of
them.
Unqualitiedly We commend Messrs
Osborn & Mueller to the investment
seeking world.

proprietor.
a more upto date line of confection
arys, cigars, tobacco, soft drinks and

his prices, like the quality of his
goods, are the delight of his patrons.
II you want cigar that will bring

II you want to get married or to
keep on good terms with your wife buy

For eighteen years Mr.. Goodrich has

Of II.
He came here with his father, L. w.

blazers to these parts.
A hint of the confidence of e. T.
Goodrich in Wales future is in evil
dence In the fact that he owns 10 of
the gilt edged town lots on one of
which is a comely dwelling. Mr..
Goodrich would sell these lots and the
