RUMoRS OF JoBBERY
Methods of Wrecked Oregon
Trust Co. Criticized.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 23.-The
charge was freely made in connection
with the failure of the Oregon Trust
and Savings bank that certain oftic-
ials of the company let it become
known to friends that the bank was
in bad shape and partial substantial
ticn of the report is had in the al
legged fact that $50, 900 in deposits
vas withdrawn from the institution
Monday and Tuesday. Reports bear
ing upon the alleged questionable
business methods of the management
aroused great Indignation among
"A, 900 depositors who we're on the
concerns books. Demands for the
arrest of certain officials of the bank
today led to preparation of com
plants by the district attorney s
Office. The warrants, however, have
not been issued pending further in
vestigasion.
The failure of the bank caused con
sternation among thousands of poor
people whose savings we're deposited
with the bank, and a mass meeting OF
unfortunates has been called Ito de-
vice ways and means for mutual pro-
lection of their interests. Many of
the employees of the bank have been
discharged, only sufficient number
being retained to assist Receiver
Devlin in handling the affairs of the
concern.
While some of the directors freely
charge Cashier W. Cooper Morris
with violating banking rules in buy
/ ing hugh blocks of bonds and loan
ing money to enterprises in which he
is alleged to have been interested.
Other bankers declare nothing but
gross, if not criminal, negligence on
the part of the directors could have
made such manipulation of the depos-
itors' money possible. Friends OF
Morris warmly defend his course,
The assertion is openly made that the
directors we're not kept in the dark
regarding any alleged to have been
interested other than the cashier. 1t il
understood Morris IL en- route from
the east, where he went to dispose 81
large blocks of securities to endeavol
to place the bank upon its feet
Receiver Devlin expressed the BELIZE
today that depositors will be paid in
full.

Them From the Town

Wardner, Idaho, Aug. 90. At the
urgent request OF a mob of irate
WardneF citizens, Chief OF Police
Collins of Wardner escorted a China
man, who arrived in Wardner from
Spokane, to Kellogg, where he will
take train for foreign parts.
When the D. r. Il N. train arrived
at kellogg today, a iauntily attired
individual minus the Characteristic
Chinese queue and carrying two grips,
hailed Thomas Crane. the Mardner
stage driver, and opened negotiations
for a ride. "Not with me, you
WON'T" was Cranes reply. The
Chinaman was game and walked. He
carried a note TO Miss Matte Doyle,
the proprietor Of the Ideal restaurant,

appeared and went into the restaur-

there was plenty Of talk and il was
evident that the crowd was In no
lnood to be trified with. Charley
Metzsar, brother .in-law OF Miss
Doyle, appeared and warned the
crowd not to get funny" A mo
ment later Miss Doyle herself appear
ed and branded the crowd as COW

the restaurant about this time when
q voice in the crowd was heard TO
say: elf you don't take that Chink

took the cue and a moment later ap
peared with the Chinaman whom he
escorted TO Kellogg and made ar
rangements for him to leave the dis

WILL RAISE COAL PRICES

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 23.-There
seems to be no question but
that retail prices Of coal will advance
at the beginning of next month. 1t
is the proposition of the mines to
advance the price, and If tie advance
is a large one the retailers of Spok-
ane will have to put up their prices.
There seems to be no valid reason
for expecting a shortage in the sup
ply except in case there lie trouble at
the mines.
81 believe that the prices to go
into effect on the first of the coming
month will represent the top notch
for this season, =" said E. F. Wagon
er yesterday. ''We do not know
whether we will be compelled to
make fn advance. We are agents in
eastern Washington and northern
Idaho for nine mines ana have book
ed orders for both wholesale and re-
tail deliveries. The visible supply
is said to be sufficient, though it is
not on hand in Spokane.
"What are the present pricesY"
was askd.
'"Taber, Alberta Sheridan, WYom.
ing and Bridger, Montana, lump coal
is now So so ton; with nut from
the same sources at 50. Bauff semi.
anthracite, broken and egg, is ell
and nut from the same mine is sl0. so.
If the mines make large advance,
we will probably have to respond in
our prices, but II the advance is not
significant we will maintain our
present schedule. ="
Frank Branscom of the Standard
company made this schedule Of prices
as maintaining now; Carney, WyOm-
ing; FIumerfelt, Alberta, and Gal
braith, Alberta, lump coal, 80; steam
coal in car lots at Sc. rs; eastern
anthracite, egg or nut, S15.
MINES SHOVE UP PRICES.
''We have advices. continued
Mr.. Bransoom, from Carney that
the mines there apprehend an advance
from 90. % to 50. so per ton at the
mines. This advance of $1.25 will
mean an advance here, but | have
no announcement to make just now.
There will not be much of an in
crease, If any, on the northern coal.
A few days ago there was an average
total order for coal at Carney Of $40
cars daily. They we're mining 1900
tons a day, but they prophesy that
September Is with the completion Of
new triple machine the capacity
will be 5000 tons a day; and am
told that l will have all that ! need.
| have had a standing order Of 80
cars a day for Spokane and my busI-
ness. and l have been getting only

is actually put into effect the increase
of help at the mines, our deliveries
here will reach the normal.
