"FUNNY BOOKKEEPING"
BY the Defunct Oregon Trust and
Savings Bank.

Ever since day or two after Thom-
as c. Devlin took charge of the affairs
of the Defunct Oregon Trust & Savings
bank as receiver, rumors of more or
less sensational character as regards
the discovery of Irregularities by the
staff of experts working under his di-
rection, have been kept in persistent
circulation.
While Devlin denies to a Telegram
reporter that such is the fact or even
that his work at present has anything
to do with exporting the books, which
would require months, he practically
lends color to the reports by admit
ting that the system of bookkeeping
pursued was peculiar" and evident
ly not designed for the eye of a re-
ceiver.
Whether the exporting of the books
may show a deficit, such discovery
would in no wise interfere with the
liquidation Of the bank nor initiate
against the depositors receiving as
much of return as possible from the
assets on the various amounts placed
in the institution.
My work at present has nothing to
do with exporting the books" said
Devlin. "It would require months to
expert the books, and a deficit could
be discovered only by balancing the
accounts. We are laboring now mere
ly to discover the assets and the liza
bilities. On each note is placed the
receivers number, and the same is
done on every bond.
The work has taken much longer

Factory Inspector Trumbull of
Baker City, who has been in the city

mills and factories, this afternoon
completed a thorough inspection of
Pendleton's two Touring mill plants.
Both the Byers and Walters mills
were found to be in excellent condi-
ton in every way. They are equip
ped with safety appliances and sani-
tary features equal to any mills in the
state and Mr.. Trumbull was enthusi-
astic over the inspection. Both mills

Mexico Needs Machinery.

Consul T. ID. Edwards, of Ciudad
Juarez, reports as follows on the mar
ket needs caused by the Industrial
development in northern Mexico:
Some of the requirements of these
conditions might be mentioned to the
manufacturers, such as traction en-
gines or road locomotives for the
transportation of ores, lumber, ETC.
The country being dry and the roads
hard and severe on animals, the trac-
ton engine is rapidly coming into
favor. Power plants, including steam,
electric, gas, water and wind; brick
making machinery, iron piping, saw
mills, planning mills. we'll drilling ma
chinery. paper mills, farm and freight
wagons, structural iron and steel, and
builders hardware are all in active
demand. In addition, the demand for
mining machinery, which is already
greater than the supply, will be large
ly increased.

Kinds of Fruit.
"The fruit crop throughout the
eastern and southern portion of the
United States has been a failure this
year." said w. c. Moore, a manufac-
turer of st. Louis to the Walla Walla
Bulletin. Mr.. Moore and Mrs. Moore
and their daughter, are making a
tour of the northwest, and are visit
ing with Mrs. Moore's brother, j. w.
Andrews Of the Andrews Hardware
company. Mr.. Moore is vice presi-
dent and business manager of the
Wrought Iron Range company, of
st. Louis, which does a large business
in the United States and Canada.
II have Travelled over the entire
United States this year." continued
Mr.. Moore, "and our firm does a
large credit business, am pretty we'll
posted on the crop conditions.
THE grain crop generally seems to
be good. Through the middle states,
with the exception of North Dakota,
corn was never better. California
has lost out on grain and also on
fruit, but nearly all of the states are
short on fruit. In fact, about the
only place where the fruit crop is
good is in the states of Oregon and
Washington, and these two states will
be depended upon for most of the
fruit used this year."
Mr.. Moore and party will visit the
Sound cities and return over the
Canadian Pacific. While coming west
they visited the Yellowstone park.

Opinion for South.
CONTENTION UNDER OLD ACT
Under the Recently Enacted Law
the Persons Could Have
Been Excluded.

WASHINGTON. p. c., March IA
statement was issued by the Depart
ment of Justice to-day concerning an
opinion submitted to President Roose-
Welt by Attorney General Bonaparte as
to whether certain immigrants, who
were landed in South Carolina last fall.
are legally In this country. The opin-
ion. In effect. Is that the immigrants
were entitled to admission to the United
States. and that they are in this coun-
try legally. The opinion agrees with
that rendered on the same case by
Solicitor Earle, of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor.
The Attorney General holds further,
however, that under the provisions OF
the recently enacted immigration act,
the immigrants in question could have
been excluded.
The statement says:
1T appears from statements fur
nished by the Department of Coni-
,ncrce and Labor that the Legislature
OF the State created the Office of Inn
migration commissioner, and made an
appropriation of $4,000 for it's OK
penses, for the express purpose Of en-
couraging immigrants to come into
that State. 1T also appears that GER
tain private parties made up fund
amounting to about $4,000, which was
placed in the hands of Commissioner
i. ]. Watson. and with these resources
he went abroad and by advertisements
and otherwise collected considerable
number of laborers or artisans, who
were willing to migrate to, South Caro-
lima, where labor. 1T is understood was

signed by the immigrants and Com
missioner Watson, the latter promised
TO find employment for the former.
but the Immigrants themselves Were
free to reject any particular offer of

them.
The Attorney General holds in eff
feet that the original provisions OF thu
alien contract labor law of 1885 We're
not repealed by the immigration law
of 1908, and that after 1908 whenever
passage money had been paid of any
alien laborcr who came to this cour-
