BANK FAILURE HURT.
Crater Lake Railroad Temporarily
Suspends Work.

Work on the consolidated railroad
lines embracing the Medford &c Crater
Lake railroad and the Rogue River
Valley railroad, from Crater Lake to
Blue Ledge, will be delayed a few
days on account Of complications
arising from suspension of the Ore
gon Trust e. Savings bank, but 1t is
said this temporary setback will not
seriously affect the enterprise, says
the Oregon Daily Journal.
Considerable delay has been expe-
rienced from lack of laborers and in
ability to secure supplies from the
east, and any settlement in connec-
ton with the bank will therefore be
not seriously felt.
1t is said the company carried a
deposit of working capital amount
ing to about 100000 in the suspended
bank, and this sum will be tied up
few weeks pending a settlement by
the receiver. Should settlement be
not reached by that time the road is
ready to continue construction, addi-
tional capital will be forthcoming
from the financiers back of the pro-
tect TO extend the lines toward Blue
Ledge and Butte Falls.

Britt will enter the ring at Recreation
park at o'clock today in what
promises TO be the most memorable
battle for the lightweight boxing
championship OF the world, which the
Baltimore man has defended against

traditions of the ring. Britt is fight

strong choice at 6 X to 10. So many
large commissions remain to be plac-
ed on Cans that It is predicted he
will enter the ring at odds 9f l to 2.

The crowd stood about the entrance
to the station and fire headquarters
and was strung south on Howard

east and west on that thoroughfare
for over 800 yards. The patrol wa

is no specimen anything like 1t re-
corded in any of the fish histories

anything like 1t and all expressed a

established here and the pumps man
