Oregon National Banks.

In report of the Oregon National
Banks the following appears regarding
the Linn county National bank and its
receiver:
"Mr. Eckels is quite we'll pleased
with the work of the receivers whom
he has appointed in Oregon, especially
with Mr.. H. M. Beall, receiver of the
Linn county National bank, at Albany,
who has worked hard in the interest OF
the depositors. The controller states
that this bank will undoubtedly pay
every depositor, at least 95 per cent on
the dollar, which will be good news in.
deed to many an honest hard-working
farmer in that section, who at the time
of the failure would have been quite
willing to have sold his claim at one
half of its face value, and probably was
only prevented from so doing because
there were no buyers"

four miles from that city Saturday
afternoon by two young men named
Spoen, and they say he acted very in
sane. They attempted to hold con-
versation with him; but he refused to
talk but little, and said he intended to
kill himself and ran away from them.
A party of forty or fifty persons or
ganized last night and started this
morning to attempt the capture of
Turner: but, it is feared, they may find
him dead, as he was we'll armed and
seemed inclined to commit suicide.
Where he was seen was in the woods
near Combs farm, few miles from

Mr.. j. 8. Woodruff, who has been in
the employ of the Columbia hotel in
this city for long time, during, the
last four days has camped on the bluff
above the Catholic cemetery, and this

such matters it is in keeping to the
crowded thoroughfares of the city
when the thermometer is ranging
around the 80 degree mark.

The Bridge Is No Good Now.

The trains of the o. R. & N. Co.
passed over the high bridge west OF
The Dalles on Saturday last, for the
last time. The new piece of road
which takes the place of the bridge is
all on solid ground, and is on better
grade than the bridge. This is great
Improvement, as the bridge was nearly
100 feet in height, and, if it had been
burned or wrecked, traffic must have
been obstructed for some time. Be-
sides, the bridge would soon have
needed rebuilding, which would have
cost as much as the change of line has.
The new line across the great Reeds
ranch slide is all graded, but the iron
will not be laid until the ground has
dried out, the earth at the bottom of
the cut being still in a moist condi-
tion. In making the new road across
the slide, $1,000 set Of trucks belong

TONS OF MEAT BURNED.
Another Incendiary Fire e-Pat Kine's
Ranch Devastated.

Another ncendtary Fire Pat hne's
Ranch Devastated.
Another incendiary fire occurred
Friday night at l o'clock at the Kline
ranch east of town. and one more man
has to his charge the crime of arson,
says the East Oreg0nian. No one yet
knows who is the man, and it may
never be known. But the circum-
stances point to incendiarism and NO
one doubts that such is the real origin
of the confagration.
At the Pat Kline ranch were dwell
ing house and outbuildings which are
always found on such an tablishment.
There had been no fire in the house
for some time, and no one had been on
the place, known to Mr.. Kline, who had
any occasion to light fire of any
kind. The fire caught between the
woodshed and the ice house, so feet
from the dwelling, and consumed the
dwelling house and ice house. In the
house were all the household furniture
and in the ice house q, ,000pounds of lard
and bacon. All this was destroyed.
Insurance was carried only on II part
of the contents in the Philadelphia for
$500 and in the Orient for 1925, Lee
Moorhoase, agent.
Mr.. Kline places his losses at $4,000,
and had no idea who the persons are
who set the fire.

Five newspaper men, 81. G. Mathies,
Ira Campbell, John r. Beagle, E. L.

Total decrease in expenses of 94 93 .s5O07 II
The difference in the totals of the
record of expenditures and the war;
rants issued is caused from the fact
that all claims presented against the
city are posted to the record of expen-
ditures, and whatever difference there
may appear in this report are the
claims for which no warrants have
been issued, but have been applied to
the credit of those owing the city for
licenses, etc.
The difference between the cash on
hand as shown in this report and that
shown by the treasurer's report is from
the fact that at the time the treasurer
filed his report he had not figured up
the warrants redeemed during the last
few weeks.

herein, and thanking the council for
their courtesies towards me during my

After a Sunken Treasurer.

Gold Beach Curry county, Gazette: G..
W. Tilden and S. w. Bailey, subma-
rine divers and wreckers of Portland,
Or, who have been in the city for the
past two weeks, were outgoing passen-
gers on the steamer Wednesday for
San Francisco. When they came here
it was their intention to make search
for the Brother Johnathdn wreck, out
after looking the field over they came
to the conclusion that nothing could
be done to advantage at the present
time. The northwest winds which
prevail along the coast at this time OF
the year preclude all chauce of making
a thorough hunt. They think, how
ever, of coming back some time in
September, at which time the weather
will be more favorable. The gentle
men are both frst-class divers, and
have had much experience in working
on wrecks in northern waters.

A Strange Story.

The Lewiston Teller says: The body
of Pete Caddy, drowned May while
crossing the LoLo with two other COM
panions, was found a few days ago
lodged against large limb in that
stream about one half mile below
where the accident occurred by Charles
Dickinson and son Bert. The strang-
est part in connection with the finding
of the body is that Mrs. Dickinson
dreamed the night previous to the
finding OF the body, that it was lodged
where found and told her husband to

tressful news to her, and he says it
was the most unpleasant duty he ever
performed. About a month ago the
poor woman lost her daughter In San
Francisco, by a mistake in taking a
deadly poison instead of medicine
prescribed for injuries received in a
bicycle accident. Her half brother,
Mr.. VIM. Mcleod, died about two
months ago at Grass Valley, and was
buried at Kingsley. These sad be-
reavements have been terrible aff1ic-
tions on Mrs. Bezoui, and she is heart
broken. Mr.. Butts procured carriage
for her, and she was driven out to
Kingsley today, where she will witness
the solemn rites over the interment of
her son.

The Circus.

Last Saturday was circus day, and
the tents on the beach were crowded
during the afternoon and had fair
attendance during the evening per-
formance. The Japs and bicycle riders
were very good; but the riding was
not even fair, while the trapeze swing
ing was not up to the usual exhibit
ions. There was some good tumbling,
but Rialto. the strong man, was kept
back until the ten-cent concert. The
jokes of the clowns were horrible, and
they should have been hissed from the
ring. To give such performance will
injure this circus if it ever visits this
place again, and there was gang of
"sharpers'' that should not have been
countenanced by any reputable COM
pany.

travel towards the mountain has com
menced. Wednesday. July 10th, is the
day fixed for the ascent. On that day
every snow-capped peak on the coast

along the line by heliograph. Later
it is proposed to flash messages from

A Sheriff.

Corvallis Times: Cruel fate has
dealt unkindly with the sheriff OF
klamath county. He was aboard the
Southern Pacific train held up near
Riddles Monday night, and with child
like submission he yielded up 500 in
cash and his 38-calibre, blue steel bar
relied Colts revolver to the single
robber in sight. Since the "Blue steel
barreled revolver" is the insignia of
his office, and the emblem of his au-
thority, in fact, the one good right
arm of the very law itself, this sheriff
should hereafter, when he leaves
home, lock his shooting iron in the
safe or bury it in the back yard, so
that bad men cannot again take it
away from him.

Little Ruth Emmons Meets Death on a
Great Northern Train.

~@-->--
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur C. Emmons, of
Portland, passed through the city
Saturday morning from Spokane with
the body of their little 3-year-old
daughter, Ruth. Mr.. Emmons is a
we'll known attorney of Portland.
Several days ago Mrs. Emmons and
her three children left their home at
Riverdale, near the White House, for
the purpose of going to Duluth on a
visit to friends there. Mr.. Emmons
accompanied his family as far as
Seattle, then returned home. While
travelling over the Great Northern
through Montana, little Ruth, was sit
tingon her mothers lap, when suddenly
the train gave a lurch, and, to the
horror of the passengers in the car,
the child pitched headlong out OF an
open window. The train was running
at full speed. Soon as possible tt
conductor was notified, and, after
bringing the train to halt, it was
backed to where the little one lay.
The child was still alive, but so fear
fully injured that death came to her
relief within an hour. Mrs. Emmons
was completely prostrated over the
frightful accident that deprived her,
without O. moments warning of her
infant daughter.
The accident happened near Glasgow,
Mont, and, as soon as the station was
reached, Mr.. Emmons was notified by
wire of the death of his child. He
left Portland Wednesday night for
Spokare, and there met the grief
stricken wife and came with her on
the way home to Portland.
