KEI,BAUGH STILL AT LARGE
Said to Be Issuing Worthless Checits
From Other Points.

That L. X. Kerbaugh has not ceas-
ed issuing worthless checks since he
left Pendleton, is evident from the
fact that two more have been sent 10
this city for collection. They were
drawn in Chicago upon the Pendieton
! Savings bank. One of the checks was
for the sum of s35, while the other
was for but $40. they were sent fe<
collection to the First National baRh
OF this city, and when presented a
the Savings bank payment was refus-
ed for want of funds.
1t is known that Kerbaugh was for
| merly in business near Chicago ana
has number of acquaintances IN
that city. Consequently, II may be in
ferred that he followed the same tao
tics in raising money there as he did
in Pendleton, by prevailing upon his
friends to take his checks as an ae-
| commodation. Whether dE not any
criminal action will be taken againss
him there is not known, but it 10
thought to be probable.
SO far those of this city who cash
ed checks for Kerbaugh have not beer
repaid excepting E. C. Smith, o. r. q
n. agent. who took one for SIS. This
check Mr.. Smith sent direct to the
Portland bank and it was paid hy
them. However, those held by Lee
Teutsch, Lyman Bros. and Ffshman
& Peters have not been paid
No criminal complaint has ever
been made here against Kerbaugh, a.
District Attorney Phelps holds there
is no ground for such since he evi-
IDENTIFY had some money in the Port
land bank when he issued the checks
here. However, when he drew the
checks on the Savings bank, KerbaugA
made himself liable, as he had no
funds whatever in that institution.

Fifteen thousand dollars has been
spent in improvements to the state
fair grounds and buildings In the past
year and Oregon now has one of the
best equipped state fair grounds in
the west.
Mayor w. f. Matlock. who is a
member of the state fair board. re-
turned this morning from Salem,
where he has been present at the reg
ular meeting of the board. He is en-
thusiastic over the work done and
the prospects ahead of the state fair.
One OF the chief topics of discussion
at the recent meeting of the board
was the removal Of the forestry
building from the Lewis and Clark
fair grounds to a position near the
front entrance to the state fair
grounds, where It would attract the
attention of travellers on the South
ern Pacific.
Because OF its great popularity and
interest as an advertising medium It
is thought probable that the Southern
Pacific will be willing to transport
the building from Portland to Salem
free OF charge, in order to have It To-
an advertisement.
Another meeting of the board will
be held In Portland about January
10, at which time the matter of re-
moving the forestry building will be
finally decided upon.
The date for the opening of the
fair In 1906 will also be settled at
that time. The Northwestern Fair
association will be represented at the
January meeting and the dates of all
the northwest fairs will be fixed at
that time. 1t is now thought that the
opening of the Oregon State fair will
be fixed for September II, although
this date is not yet decided upon.

Why should the Government employ
a lot of people to collate the guesses

Because Congress dotes on farmers and

Since Congress chooses to continue
