TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
Jennings Banking & Trust Company
Closes Its Doors This Morning.

The Jennings Banking &
Trust Company opened for bust
ness this morning, but in very
short time it became evident
that u run would be made on the
bank and the doors were closed,
and the state bank examiner was
notified to come and investigate
the affairs of the bank.
1t was stated to a reporter of
the RECORD this afternoon by a
high official OF the bank that all
depositors would be paid in full,
and that the bank would be open
for business again in a few days.
The following statement is
given out by the bank cashier
this evening:
TO THE PUBLIC.
The Jennings Banking &
Trusts Cos. Resources are 81, 900
more than the liabilities, and as
soon as collections can be made
and holdings realized on, all
depositors, as it now appears,
will be paid in full

and though usually showing smaller
volume : Of water they afford the
greater power possibilities because of
the higher available pressure heads.
These streams are largely within
the various National Forest Reserves.
One of their interesting character
istic that has been learned, is that
during the late summer months when
the water is low, practically all of
it com es from the highest portions of
the drainage basins, say above ele.
vation of 5000 feet. In fact some
rivers like the Kern, the Kings, and
the San Joaquin, decrease in volume
in the lower half of their mountain
courses owing to losses by seepage
and evaporation.
Arrangements have lately been
made with the Forestry officials OF
the Interior Department for their
Superintendents in the future to
measure these streams at trail cross
ings, at high elevations, during their
low summer stages, under the direc-
tion of J. B. Lippincott, the Resi-
dent photographer of the Geological
Survey. 1t is believed that this will
add much to the knowledge of Cali
fornia streams in their upper courses.
Heretofore they have not been ac-
cessible owing to their remoteness and
the absence of any reliable observers.

ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION OF
WATER POWERS.

complete demonstration in California
of the feasibility of transmitting
electric energy at high voltage for
great distances. that all important
streams within 200 miles of Los
Angeles or of San Francisco which
are capable of developing substantial
water power are being carefully
studied.
The two factors producing power
are the volume of water and the
amount of fall, hence the U. S.
Geological Survey, owing to it's work
in gaging streams and topographic
mapping, is being called upon from
many quarters in connection with
these investigations. Frequently in
vestments of many hundred thousand
dollars are made or rejected OH the
basis of these records. The demand
for accuracy in the determination of
the low summer flow of the stream is
particularly severe, and calls are
made for greater amount of detail,
both as to the number of points of
measurement and as to frequency,
than it has been possible to obtain
heretofore with the limited funds
available for this work. A compre-
hensive knowledge of stream can
only be obtained after several years
of careful study. Manifestly capital
seeking investment will not wait to
compile the records itself, especially
in view of the fact that the result
may prove unsatisfactory.
For power developments the low
summer flow of the stream is that
which is most urgently desired at
first These low volumes doubtless
will be supplemented by stored water
in the near future. During the past
four summers meter measurements of
the lowest September flow have been
made of nearly all the trunk streams
on the western slope of the Sierra
Nevadas and Sierra Madres. These
measurements are of especial value
as these years have been of unusual
drought.
The crest of the Sierra Nevadas
ranges in elevation from 10000 to
$1,000 feet above sea level and is dis
tant from 80 to 60 miles from the
low San joaquin Valley lands, the
elevations of which are less than 500
feet. The streams issuing therefrom
have very short steep gradients.
Profiles of large number of them,
taken from the contour maps of the
United States Geological Survey, are

UNION MEN STRUCK
On Agricultural Hall Because one of
Their Number was Discharged,

! Contractor Shook, builder of
Agricultural hall, went to Portland
Thursday, and thereby hangsa tale.
It is tale of a contractors trouble
with union labor. Plasterers are
scarce, and he hired men to come
from Portland and work on the big
building. They were union men
and the wages he paid them was
$6 per day. He also had apart of
the time Mr. Bier and Mr. Barnard,
local plasterefs, who were much Ell
gagged On residences about town.
The account is that one of the
union men was not good work
man. His service was not salts
factory, and Mr. Shook discharged
him. The other union men prompt
ly quit The contractor was left
with the big building ON his hands,
and no p1asterers save the irregu1-
at help he could get from the two
local men. The contractor trip to
Portland was to secure more men.
Mr. Shook had a similar exper-
ience with union rex men while
the walls Of the hall were under
construction. They all struck for
S. day. He paid it. One of the
union men was in the habit of, sol
diering. He worked go-as-you
please, and went slower after a
reprir1and for it. Finally, he was
discharged. Shook ran short of
rock men and sent to the Portland
union for more. They sent him
back the discharged man, and the
contractor was forced to submit.
The same outfit of rock men struck
because non union man was en-
ployed at merely handling some of
the stone. Ed FELTON, of this city.
a splendid rock man, was wanted
by Mr. Shook to work On the build
ing, but the union fellows would
not permit it.

HELD HER FARM
Benton County Woman Won aD I'm.
portant DISQUALIFICATION by
Judge Hamilton.

Judge Hamilton has handed
down a decision in the case of Mrs
Tally versus L. Flynn. A farm
valued at s., 500 was involved in
the litigation. The case was tried
at the April term of the circuit
court for Benton county, It was
taken under advisement by Judge
Hamilton, and the decision was re-
Gently rendered.
The farm is near Monroe, and
formerly owned by G w Starr. In
1889 Tally bought what is now the
Excelsior prune orchard with
$50 of Mrs Ta1ly's money. Later
it was sold to the prime company
for $500. In 1894, according to
the findings of fact in the decision,
Tally, still using Mrs Ta11y's money
bought the c w Starr farm, prom
ising to deed it to Mrs Tally. He
got into Strengthened circumstances
and ultimately he and Mrs Tally
were divorced. For a lien Flynn
had against Tally, in 1897 the lat
ter attached the farm. Later, Mrs
Tally brought suit to clear the
cloud on the title made by Flyln's S
attachment, and the decision is the
outcome She regains the farm,
and is now the undisturbed owner
Judge McFadden was attorney for
Mrs Tally.

be moved 20 feet west Of its present
site. On the south side an addition
is to be built, comprising a par1or,

room, hall and bath on the second
floor. The improvement is to cost
about $500, and the work is to be-
gin shortly. w o Heckert has
the contract.
Trustee J o Wilson has filed his
final account in the bankrupt es-
tate of John M Osburn. The ac-
count is in the hands of Hubbard
Bryant, referee, and is to be exam
ined and passed upon at the Office
of the latter in Albany, Monday,
August 4th. At the same time a
dividend for distribution among
creditors of the estate will be de-
c1ared. Official notice of the mat
ter is to be seen in another column.
The referee recently conducted a
court in Corvallis, in which the
various claims of the reference
were passed upon and allowed.
