Banks Crash.

"The crops and banks never fail
in Oregon. For years the forego-
ing has been kind of a standing
advertisement for Oregon the coun-
try over. 1t will have TO be hauled
down now and brought home. The
last ten days in Oregon has inn
paired its usefulness so much that
it will have to be laid away. Dur
ing that time no less than five banks
in the richest parts of Oregon have
closed their doors. The first to
start the crash in Oregon was Ham
ilton, Job & Co., at Corvallis. A
private banker by the name of Reed,
at Portland, closed up next. Mon
day the Linn County National.
Bank and the Bank of Oregon, at
Albany, and the bank at Lebanon
closed their doors. or the former
there is but little doubt that the
depositors will be paid in full at an
early date. The Bank of Oregon
will pay about IS cents on the dol
lar and no statement is made of
the bank at Lebanon. On Tuesday
the Lane County Bank of Hovey,
Humphrey & Co., a Eugene went
under. The whole financial system
of Oregon is upheaved by these
failures and the general opinion Is
that the end is not yet.

A German, from Nebraska, ar
rived in Corvallis a few days before
the Hamilton & Job burst up, and
bought farm near that city, pay
ing $500 to bind the bargain. On
the day before the bank closed he
deposited the balance of the pay
ment, 81 900, in the bank about
half past three O'Clock with the
agreement that the deed was TO be
deposited next morning and the
money paid over to the seller of the
farm. The sequel was, that the
bank never opened next morning
and the Germans money, which
was all he had, home and all were
gone. The man had large family
and is a stranger in the land. He
has passed his fhieth mile stone
and is on the downward decline of
life. These are the alleged facts as
told 70 this writer. If true the
men who accepted that mans mon
ey, knowing that they we're steal
ing it, ought to be sent TO the peni-
tentiary for ten years. They are
not as respectable as the robber on
the highway.
The man from Astoria who stole
loaf Of bread to appease his hun
ger was sentenced and served three
years in the penite ltiary. The men
who stole 81 900 Of a poor Germans $
money by taking it on deposit a
half hour before their bank bursted
will never be tried. The result Of
this will lie that at least two an
archists are made. You can never
convince the German who had his
home legally stolen from him, that
there is any justice In the law as
administered, and he can't reason.

Military Indian Agents.

Fridays Oregoniau contained the
statement that President Cleveland
had fully determined to adhere
strictly to the letter of law, and ap-
point no one but military officers
as Agents at the various Indian
Agencies i'll the west. It is sim
cerely to be hoped that the report
is similar to many that the Oregon
ian's correspondent has been send
ing from time to time-the veriest
bosh. 1t would be nothing short
of great calamity to many of the
agencies i'll the west. Take it on
the agencies where the Indians are
as highly civilized as they are at
the Siletz agency, or the Grand
Ronde agency, or in fact any of the
agencies on the coast, the placing
of them under the harsh control of
the military would be extremely
detrimental. The Indians at the
Siletz are we'll civilized, perfectly
law-abiding and are engaged in the
various pursuits of civilized life
They are happy, prosperous and
contented. They are almost fully
able to take care of themselves, and
all they need is some one i'll the
capacity of agent to look after their
business interests and keep up their
schools, etc. To place them under
strict military control would be irk-
some and nonproductive of good.
There is nothing in common be-
tween the military and the Indians.
The government has been to great
expense and trouble to eradicate the
idea of war and to win them to
peaceful pursuits, and to abandon
that idea at this time is extremely
ill-advised. A military man who
has made the science ofwar a study
for years, would know nothing of
the Indians farm, his stock, his
grain, hay and other produce.
Their schools would not interest
him. What such agencies as the
Siletz need are agents selected from
the Civil list who are competent,
and who is in sympathy with them in
their efforts toward high civiliza-
ton. The Siletz Indians under
such agents will be fully self-sup-
porting. He is encouraged and
on his farm, he is helped
to breed higher grade of
stock, a market is found
for his produce, and to look after
his business interests generally, for
the Indians from environments and
and nature are not permitted to
know these things. These things
could not and would not be looked
after by military officer.
The placing of the SiIetz Indians
under military rule undoes the great
work that has been performed dur
ing the past ten years.

bear, and returning from visit

Justify and calling the dogs. A
party of ten, among them the neigh
borhood school mistress, Miss
Addie Bristow, of this city, return
ed with him, and an hour was
spent in training the dogs for future
bear hunting. When the animal,
worn out by pain and exertion, was
set at liberty, he laid down, appar-
emily more dead than alive, and
Miss Bristow, with a long stick,
advanced from among her friends
and attempted to arouse him. She
struck him several blows, when he
suddenly jumped up and made
dash for her. She fled, and the
chase, which continued for several
yards, was only interrupted in time
by the dogs, on whom the bear
turned, when within a couple of
feet of Miss Bristow. The Incl
dent taught the party a lesson and
the animal was speedily despatched.

it was generally believed that the

HOW 1T WORKS.

county, Is making trip i'll Cali
tornia, and has visited the iute
mills there. He gives some facts
in a letter to the Oregonian:
Before this jute mill was erected
the prison labor in California was
employed i'll various industries, but
chiefly i'll the manufacture of furni-
ture. Every thing was going on
smoothly and perfectly when the
Denis Kearnev element began to
declaim against the competition of
convict labor with free labor, and
the result was the discontinuance
OF all kinds of labor except jute
bags.
Large furniture stores in San
Francisco, dealt in the prison pro-
ducts, and it was claimed that this
deprived men here who would other
wise have work and be prosperous;
but the warden told NE that since
the jute mill was started these same
furniture dealers instead of manu-
featuring furniture here and em-
ploying idle men, get all their sup
plies from the East, mostly from
Indianapolis.
The buildings which were used
for these manufacturing purposes
had to be abandoned, and are now
not used for any purpose what
ever. This direct loss to the state
was about s. 900. The jute mill,
as 1t now stands, has cost the state
near $500, 900, and there is gen
eral under-current of opinion that
it will prove a bad investment.
For various reasons the bags
made by convict labor are not of a
good quality. No man who works
TOR nothing and by compulsion is
going to be careful. There are
many kinds of work that he can
not shirk, however, ifhe works at
all, but spinning and weaving are
not any of these. No superinten-
dent, however faithful, can be
present at all the looms all the time,
and broken thread, or dozen of
them, for that matter, can be
passed over without any ones
knowledge but the operator.
A broken thread now and then
means little or nothing to a convict
who knows he will not
lose his job, no matter what he
does, but with the farmer who
hurridly pours bushel of wheat
into defective sack when he is
threshing, the consequences stands
for something.
There is another reason why
bags are poor in quality.
Most men in all prisons are sent
up for comparatively short terms,
and about the time one becomes
skilled in the use of a
loom his term expires and a new
man must take his place.
These facts account for the situa-
ton now existing at San Quentin. |
There are now over I ,a5o, 900 bags
on hand at the jute mill for which
there is no demand, although they
are offered for quarter of a cent
less than imported bags. Any |
farmer can see at a glance that
mere quarter Of cent on sack |
is not worth considering when
there is marked difference in the
quality in the article.
There is jute mill in Oakland
run by free labor, of nearly equal
capacity, which l also visited, and
the quality of the goods is so pro-
nounced in its favor that one can
readily see the difference, and the
proprietor told me could not nearly
supply the demand for his sacks"

calls it serial or continued story.
The name is certainly an extremely
good one and expresses the situa-

can. Our friend, the Gazette,
bears it strongly in mind that the
william is always successful until
the last chapter, when injured in
nocence always comes out triumph
ant. We would suggest TO the
Gazette that it waits till the last
chapter has appeared.
