East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-09-25

The east side of this county is com
posed of mountains, mainly covered
with timber. principally yellow pine.
The great Columbia river skirts the
county ON the north. with the sage
brush or semi-arid lands occupying
the west part of the county. One can
have almost any kind of climate and
landscape effects he likes in this re-
gion,

operative, more than twice over, and
doubtless will show another 200 per
cent increase by 1929, ten years hence.
The county has only fairly commence
ed to grow. 7
Record of the County Banks
But. largely since 1909. other towns
of the county have expanded or fully
come into existence. Every one of
them has a bank of it's own. So that
the deposits in Pendleton banks for
1919 do not represent the full import
ances of UmatiIIa county's develop
ment for the past ten years..
In fact. on November II, 1919, date
of the official bank call. more than
one-third of the deposits of the coun-
tvs banks in the nine banks of towns
outside of Pendleton.
A summary of all these facts can be
seen in Table 3. with this story. That
is a good record to keep on file for
future reference and comparison. So
is Chart c.
Visitors from other parts of the
state. especially bankers and business
men, and farmers who investigate,
may find it interesting, and financial
ly instructive and profitable, to take
those UmatiIa county bank records
home and compare them with similar
deposit records of their towns of
about the same population.
worthy of Thought by Visitors
And if they find the deposits here
far superior in size relatively, or even
on the same level, they may believe It
well worth while to make a full inves-
tigation of the opportunities of this
county. In fact, with the evidence
here ready to use, they could well
afford to make careful survey Of the
good chances of this county while now
in the vicinity.
There is no gain saying the fact that
there must be liberal production from
the land out here or such large sums
could not and would not accumulate
in the banks. Probably at no time
is there less than $10.000,000 on de-
post in this county, even in the most
active season and demand for money.
Really, this county has only fairly
commenced to grow. to realize itself.
The alfalfa lands will yet add from
three to four million dollars to the
county's yearly crop values, at present
prices With that Umatilla Columbia
waterpower developed, as 1t surely
will be before many years, probably
the irrigabIe lands tributary to Pen
dIeton and towns of this county will
be doubled or trebIed in area, and the I
market field and business enlarged ac-
cordingly. 4
Big Waterpower Means Growth

sion in Manufacturing all over this
northwest when there is an abundance

THE NEW YEAR.

The last note Of the sounding bugle
dies.
The drums are still. Into the realm
OF years
Which are no more, where even
memories
Are dead, and petty jealousies and
fears
Have ceased to be. where bitterness
has gone,
And only leaves behind heritage
or happiness. the Old Year passes on.
TIL, echoes now are still. Timo lifts
the page
OF young mems blood and battle
fields of death,
And, as he turns it DER, in love of
them
Who gladly sacrificed their mortal
breath,
The clear-voiced bells ring out re-
QUEEN.
And with the bells a New Year has
begun;
Then beams the dawn of Hope, the
night is done.
