DIFFERENT BACKBONES.

A boy in the physiology class OF
a school in South Boston gave the
following definition of the difference
between the backbone of a man and
the backbone of a cat.
"a mans backbone runs up and
down while the backbone of a cat
runs sidewise. A cat is liable to spit
and throw up her backbone"
Another boy said of the spine;
"The spine is long bone reaching
from the skull to the heels. It has
hinge in the middle so that you can
sit down, otherwise you would have
to sit standing. Lippincott's.

BANKS ARE SAFE.

Wnlle oregon banks are absolutely
safe and not in any remote danger Of
being run upon by depositors, yet
Governor Chamberlains precaution
of proclaiming a five-day holiday to
prevent a run, is timely and ju-
dicious.
So many people are nervous over
money that some unwise depositor
might precipitate a panic, even in
Umatlla county where banking con-
ditions and industrial conditions were
never better than this fall.
In the east banking is not all done
upon the square. The immense trust
companies, many OF which were form
ed to boost stocks on the markets
were not legitimate banking concerns
and their precarious existence de-
pended upon the success with which
they inflated and sold at extortionate
figures some of the bonds and securi-
ties which they held.
In Oregon with n very few excep-
tions banks are banks, founded upon
legitimate basis, doing business on
the square and acting wholly within
the law and also within good bank
and business sense.
Whatever may be the result of the
five day holiday in other parts of the
state, it will not affect Pendleton.
Business will proceed with its usual
vim and vigor; salaries will be paid
on Saturday night the same as usual;
wheat will continue to be sold; cattle
and sheep will change hands and land
will be bought and sold just as
though nothing had happened. for
conditions here are absolutely safe
and not dependent in any way upon
eastern conditions.
Pendle.0n and Umatilla county
banks are not affected by wildcat
he ---ler in Portland or the east.
ney are founded upon a legitimate
ing basis, have millions of de-
sits in actual cash from bona fide
business men, and farmers who feel
secure and who will not become ex-
cited at flaming headlines from Wall
street.
Not one cent of money should be
withdrawn from a Umatilla county
bank on account of the furry. The
home institutions are we'll founded
and have support from sources which
are not affected by stock markets
nor gambling on Wall street
The record in Wall street shows
that values have been reduced by
billions of dollars, but this is a COM
mercial falsehood, for the stocks
which have been boosted sky high by
trust companies and spectators never
had the bona fide value which they
claimed. Their only loss has been in
water.
Not cent of good substantial val
ues have been destroyed. The legiti-
mate wealth of the country is greater
today than ever before and al the
howl about loss of values comes from
pirates who never had but a measly
value to start with and who builded
on fictitious foundations.
The quicker they go to the wall and
down and out the better it will be for
legitimate banking and legitimate
business enterprises. Let Umatilla
county depositors keep their heads
and remember that we are out of the
Wall street gambling belt
Our values are legitimate. Our
wheat land and sheep and cattle
herds are bona fide values which can
be demonstrated every hour in the
day and every week in the year.

PROPERTY CONVEYANCE
DECLARED FRAUDULENT.
It Is That to Mrs. Brewer by Her Two
Sons a Month After Bankrupt
Husbands Death.

vice-Chancellor Howell today signed a
decree which. on technical grounds, sets
aside as fraudulent unde the statute the
conveyance of property in Hudson street,
Hoboken. to Mrs. Gilbert T. Brewer, by
her two sons on July rs, 1902, about one
month after her husbands death. The
decree followed suit brought by William
w. Crane, trustee in bankruptcy for
Joseph H. 7. Brewer, who was adjudi-
Gated a bankrupt asst November. /.
Mrs. Brewer and her two sons claimed
during the trial of the cause that prior
to the death by accident of the husband
and father, the latter had promised to
convey Hoboken property, for which lie
paid $12, 800, to his wife after certain i'm
provements had been made. He was killed
before these were completed, and, dying
intestate, the property descended to the
sons, exclusive of. the widows dover right.
The two sons, however, in fulfllment of
their fathers promise. made their rights
over to their mother, giving her a clean
title to the property.
All the time this conveyance was made
the son. who was last year declared a.
he nkrupt. was in business, and in debt to
a certain creditor about $3.50, on a running
account. which had existed for years., but
business was then flourishing. Last No
vember when the bankruptcy took place
this same creditor proved claims amount
ing TO $3.50. Tn decision of the court
will make necessary a partition of the
estate.

vice-ChancellOr Emery Renders Deci-

Primus Suit.

Vice-C Chancellor Emery today sent to
his decision in the matter of the suit
brought by John Leonard & Compans'
against the Camden National Bank,
which requires the latter banking in
stitution to pay over $25,S00, with inter-
est, to the co~mplainants, as an indem-
nifty deposit. for the loss of the bark
Primus while carrying from Cuba a
consignment of scrap iron, owned by
the complainant company. McCarter
& English appeared for the complain
ants and Donges, Enright g. Garrison
for the defendants.
The suit has been in the courts since
1908 and carried to the Court of Errors
on one phase. The issues involved are
peculiar. The complainant, owning the
scrap iron and knowing it to be a
dangerous commodity to ship in cargo
bulk, made arrangement with Isaac
Ferris, jr. and John w. Donges, of
Philadelphia, to carry the cargo from
Cuba to Philadelphia at a SPECIAL rate
and. to insure safe delivery, paid in ex-
cess the sum of $232. 20. the ship owners
to deposit with the Camden National
Bank the sum of $25, 800, the estimated
value of the iron. The Primus was lost
at sea, and when demand was made for
the security deposited with the bank,
payment was refused on the ground
that the sum named was not deposited
as claimed; that the complainants were
not, in fact, owners of the scrap iron,
and that the alleged contract was ultra
wires, the defendant not being author
lied by law to conduct an insurance
business.

while the later positions after opening

to the favorable weather news and con-

Private cables reported freer Southern OIL
ferings. and there were reports here that
interior holders in Texas were easier on
Saturday. No frost reports were received
and while there was some light rain in the
Southwest precipitation was not heaVy
enough to figure as a market factor. Ihe

OYSTER WAR TRUCE
STATE TROOPS. HOWEVER,
READY FOR ACTION.
Pending Decision of Courts the Peace
Must Be Kept Is the Report from
Atlantic City.

MOUNT HOLLY, Oct. 81. - Arnold
Cramer and Samuel Allen were the only
TWO oyster men accused of %poaching out
ecf zoe held by Magistrate Collins, of
Port Republic. in the hearing over the
wholesale raids made on the Sooy oyster
beds in the Muliica River Tuesday and
wednesday last week. Each of the
two was put under $1,000 bail. After a
conference with their attorneys the
Sooy Company decided that it would
not be good policy to prefer criminal
charges against all the men concerned
in the raid. so Cramer was picked out
because ne was a leader in the raid, and
Allen because he was a member of the
oyster Commission of that section.
The case against the two men held
viii be tried at the next term of court.
and the matter then carried to the
higher courts to determine whether the
riparian grants thai the Sooy Company
are working under are legal. The case
will be eagerly watched by hundreds
engaged in the oyster industries, as
the decision will affect nearly a million
dollars invested in similar grants.
From Atlantic City comes word that
State troops will be ordered out to sub
due warning oystermen in the event of
further violence in the Mullica River.

County. who had refused to intervene,

CHICAGO REASSESSMENT IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL.
United States Supreme Court Holds That
Single Days Stock Quotations Is
Not Just Measure of Value.

WASHINGTON, Del. 21.-The cases oil
the treasurer of Cook County. Ill, against
the various utility corporations of Chicago,
involving the tax levy for 1900, were ue-
cided by the Supreme Court OF the united
States today, adversely to the city.
The opinion of the court was delivered
by Justice Peckham, and it affirmed the
decision of Judge Grosscup as hanoeo
down in the United States Circuit court
for the Northern District of Illinois. The
companies affected are the Chicago Union
Traction Company, the Edison Company
the Chicago City Railway Company, the
South Chicago City Railway Company inc
Peoples Gas Light Company, the chicago
Telephone Company and the chicago Son
solidated Traction Company.
Tha suits were brought by the utinty
companies In the Circuit to secure
an injunction prohibiting the tax authorl-
ties of Cook County from enforcing a re-
assessment of taxes for 1900, which was
undertaken on an Order from the state
Circuit Court of Sangamon County, afnrm-
ed by the State Supreme Court, after the
taxes had been paid on the original assess
ment.
The second levy was much in excess Oh
the first, and the cases were taken to the
Federal courts on a plea of deprivation Oh
property without due process OF law con-
trary to the constitution.
Judge Grosscup granted the prayer oil
the petitioners. holding that the original
assessment was correct because it was
based on the real net earnings of the
companies. and declaring the second levy
inequitable because 1t was founded on the
stock exchange quotations of a single day
He. also intimated in his opinion that I'M
due influence had been brought to bear
on the Board Of Equalization to secure
the increase made in the reassessment
The cases involved taxes on many mil
lions of dollars worth of property. JUS
tees Holmes and Moody dissented.
