.representing himself as in the serv
ice of the public service commis

"inasmuch as he solicited auto
water contracts for your company
an tnis instance, it is apparent that
Jhe is in your employment," Wil
liams declares. "If such Is the case
one would naturally expect he
would, with courtesy, explain his
mission, show his authority and
caroceed about his business in a
Kraslness-like manner. Instead of
chat the soliictor in this instance In
formed the lady of the house that
fee was representing the public serv
See commission of Oregon and was
(Sent to investigate the water sys
twn and insisted on free access to
Mil parts of the premises.
"Just why a utility, through its
3B4tente, offices or employes should
j lopt such petty practices is inde
fensible. If your mission was one
Certaining to business re wa not
necessary to adopt such methods.
Kt is our purpose to make it .plain
to the public that this commission
employs no man to solicit for or on,
ftbe part of any utility and when
ever any person makes the asser
tion that he is In our employ he
Should be required to show his writ
ten authority from us. It he hasn't
asuch credentials he Is then an im
Sostor and should be reported to
sur office and we shall immediate
Sjr take up the investigation."

WHO WILL BE
YOUR
EXECUTOR?
It requires distinct ABILITY to carry out the
terms of a Will, just as it demands ability to
transact any business in one's private capacity.
Ability to sell property advantageously, know
ledge of financial and estate matters, tact in
handling varying temperaments, skill in account
ing. An individual Executor may have this abili
ty ; a Trust Department must have it.
That is only one of many reasons why this
Bank can handle your estate more effectively
than could almost any individual you might
choose.
