BANKS AND INDUSTRIES

The old days when banks confin.
ed themselves to the mere occupa-
tion OF clipping coupons and shaving
notes are no more.
Not only has the bank in modern
times assumed rank as q community
service but it is becoming identified
with industries.
Modern constructive policies find
banks financing well-managed in
dustrial plants and increasing agr!-
cultural industries.
There is no bigger undertaking
today than building on solid foun-
daeions a large manufacturing and
financial center.
The man of practical affairs plans
not only city building but extends
constructive policies to an entire
section.
There are no more enterprising
builders on large lines OF community
development in the west today than
of live benks.

FINED FOR LEAVING
CAMPFIRE BURNING

For leaving an unextinguished
campfire on the Chelan National
Forest, H. p. Randall, OF Water.
vile, Washington, was taken before
Justice of the Peace Porter at We
natchee on July 10 and fined ten
dollars and costs. At the hearing II
was shown that Mr.. Randall permit
ted his fire to escape from the fire
place where it was started. For
tunately the fire was discovered by
Patrolman Everett Dick before II
had spread over more than three
square feet and extinguished. For
est Ranger James Mckenzie. after
investigating the fire. requested Mr..
Randall to go to Wenatchee and
answer to a charge of fire trespass.
The point was brought out at the
hearing that while Mr.. Randall had
undoubtedly taken more precautions
than many other campers and de.
served credit for that. he had evil
IDENTIFY not been careful enough, as
the fire had certainly escaped from
his campfire. The Forest officers
recommended leniency on account O.
his evident good intentions.
Justice Porter stated that in all
misdemeanors of this class. the de-
fendant is always supplied with a
more or less valid excuse. but that
even a good excuse could not be al
lowed to clear a man from a viola
tion of the law. In view OF the fact
that considerable care had been TAX
en-, he imposed the minimum fine,
but he wished 1t clearly understood
that this was not the intention OF
the law as a general rule and that
is should not be considered a prece-
dent.
Convictions have been secured
this season by the Forest Service for
similar fires on the Crater and Des-
chutes National Forests. It is the
District Forester's purpose to inves-
tigate every man-caused fire occur
ring on or near the National For
ests of the District and to convict
the responsible person whenever pos
sible. 1t is from these small unex-
campfires that many OF
the largest and most Destructive
forest fires have sprung, according

tremely fine for bicycyists. Last year
these brothers rode $500 miles by
bicycle, and claim that the Ashland
camp is the finest they ever struck.
