Cooley Camouflaged
Behind Beard Fools
An Admiring Friend

There was a gentleman in our midst
this morning surrounded by great
growth of beard, and who do yoI think
1t proved to be? No ono in the world
but Carl Cooley!
Now Carl Cooley is part proprietor
of the largest store in Pendleton and
kinda good looking, and to see him
decked out with that thatch Of hay
was sight to behold.
"Why so?" up and asked him.
''Weli. ] was up in the mountains
about n week ago." he said, ''in a
camping party. one morning we were
all shaving and the fellows said they
thought needed facial massage. So
they proceeded to give IL to me. Only
instead of witch hazed they picked up
a bottle of carbolic acid and camphor.
] haven't been able to shave for
weekl"
Isn't that just terrible? His face Is
ALL red under the whiskers. l certain
ly hope it isn't going to leave n mark
permanently. That would be too aw-

There have been instances where en-

of them having perished from star

duced personnel, is giving the best
possible aid, supplying garments and

Attempt To Break
Prune Market at
Freewater Failure

Prunes at Freewater are still being
contracted for at 800 ton despite
the efforts of one buyer to force the
price down by bear story in the
Walta Walla paper this morning. says
8. B. Sanderson. editor and publisher
of the F'reewatcr Times who is in the
city today ON business. This buyer. n
new man in the field, tried to break
the backbone of the market and force
growers to dump their fruit on the
market, Mr.. Sanderssn says. but other
established fruit houses are bidding at
the regular price.
Five hundred carloads will be ship
ped out Of the Milton -Ireewatcr dis
trict this season. in Mr.. Sanderson's
estimation. This is about the same
as was raised last year but the
price is averaging just a little higher
than the $3.50 of 1918 Sale of two
choice lots of pruncs have been made
at S127.50 ton. he says.

Bank of Echo Will
Erect New Home Soon
To Meet Big Business

ECHO. Aug. l9.-Echo is to have
a new bank building. This is the an
nouncement made this week by r. r.
Stanfield, cashier of the Bank of
Echo, While the plans are not COM
pleted it is practically assured that the
building will be OF pressed brick or
stone. and it will be one that any city
might be proud of.
Speaking of the new building, Mr..
Stanfield says that the business of
the Bank of Echo has grown to such
an extent that the present quarters are
entirely inadequate, and his plan con-
templates a large, modern building
that will give ample room for the in
stitution. 1t is probable that the
building will be exclusively for the use
of the bank, although the proposition
of having second story for offices
has been under consideration.
The new structure will Se on the
lots owned by the bank on the corner
of Main and Bonanza streets. and will
be fitted up with all modern improve
ments and conveniences. Provision
will be made for safe deposit vault
room sufficient to accommodate the
constantly growing demands OF this
community for many years. At present
there is not nearly enough room i'll the
bank vault for the use of the bank
itself. to say nothing of the great de-
mand for safety deposit boxes.
Directors of the bank approve of
having the very best quarters that
can be put up for the institution and
details of construction and plans will
be worked out soon as possible so tina,
work on the building can start early
in the spring.
