Settlement of Estates.

The Merchants Investment & Trust
company, of Portland, Ore, whose

this paper, have issued very attrac-
tive little booklet for free distribution
containing information about the
scope and purpose of their institution.
One point borne upon strongly is the
advlsability for persons having estates
or investments to look after, Of plac-
ing their affairs in the hands of this
company The Merchants Investment

proper care Of estates demands tall

uals of sufficient business skill for
handling estates usually have affairs
of their own which prevent them from
engaging in such a service for any
other person.

UNCLE SAM OWES Us
OREGON HAS WAR CLAIM
AMOUNTING TO $685., 900
Repeated Efforts Have Been Made to
Secure Payment-Scnntor Fulton
Has at Last Got the aNIttcr Proper
ly Before the Government, and IL
May Soon BE Paid.

The state of Oregon has a claim of
$SS5,l52,SS against the general gov
ernment for expenses incurred by the
state on account of the war of the re-
bellion. which has remained unset
tied all this time, though repeated cf-
forts have been made to have the
state reimbursed, without success.
1t is now, however, in more prom
Using shape for adjudication than il
has ever been. Senator Fulton sue
ceeded during the late session of con-
gress in having it referred to the court
of claims, where it will receive judi
cial consideration and II that body
considers the states claim properly
established. its decision will have sim
liar effect to a Judgment and congress
will at once appropriate the necessary
amount to satisfy II.
But the state must proceed with the
necessary legal steps to establish Its
claims before that court in a formal
manner, with the necessary documents
and such testimony as the court may
require. 1t will probably become the
duty of Attorney General Crawford &c
prepare the papers and he has already
taken steps to look into the matter
| thoroughly to ascertain just what i,
needed. Secretary of state Dunbar, II
his report made to the legislature OF
1901, gave the following facts in re-
! lation to the claim, which will be in
teresting at this time:
This is a claim of the state agains
the general government for expenses
incurred by the state on account ot
the war of the rebellion. and amounts
to the sum of $335.152.SS. This mat
ter has been fully explained and tht
efforts made to secure the allowance

CELLO CANAL DELAYED.
Only 20 Per Cent of This Years Worl,
Completed.


Half of the working season is pass
ed and the Cello canal contra ctors,
Smvth 4 Jones. have accomplished
but little more thar 20 per cent of the
work they undertook to complete this
year, says the oregon Sunday Jour
nal. II is said they have repeatedly
been prodded by the United States
engineers. but have not shown a COM
mendable disposition to hurry the
work. The engineer, in a report Just
submitted. severely crlticizes their
methods.
The Cello canal project calls for an
expenditure Of s4,125.0O0 and the ca
nal and other improvements will be
eight and a half miles long. Smyth &
Jones have the contract for the first
section of the work. now being done.
Their contract called for the removal
of 17S.OoO cubic yards of rock and
earth this yea,. TO June 80. accord
ing to the official reports, they have
done work amounting to only 1854
cubic wards, This leaves them with
140.476 cubic yards to move by Janu-
ary 1, 1907 which task is so great that
it is practically impossible for them
to meet the emergency.
Reasons fo- Delay.
The engineer, in reporting on pro-
gress at the canal site, gives these
reasons for the slow work of the firm
Of Smyth & Jones.
Late start: inefficient manage
ment; lack of plant"
There is plenty of money for carry
ing on the work. and this money is
ready to he paid to the contractors
as fast as they fulfill the conditions
of their contract. 1t is said to be no
fault of anyone outside the contract
ing firm and its assistants that the
work has not progressed as it should
The total appropriation to date has
been S65O,O00. There remains at this
time available in ready money fol
