PROTECTING DEPOSITS IN BANKS.
An Ohio Example of Taft's Position
and Oklahon1a's Proof of Bryan's
Position.

One of the planks of the Denver
platform favors guaranteed bank de-
posits. Mr.. Bryan addressed the Ohio
legislature in February favoring Ii
anteed deposits. Former Governor
Herrick subsequently addressed the
legislature in reply to Mr.. Bryan. OPP
posing any such protection for banks
and bank depositors.
Mr.. Taft, in his speech of accep-
lance, de''ranced the plank OF the
Denver ll}tf9rn, which declares for
a national law for banks similar to
the Oklahoma law for state banks,
thereby connecting in the views of Mr..
Herrick and opposing the views of Mr..
Bryan.
Below are two dispatches showing
what Mr.. Bryan stands for and what
Mr.. Taft stands for:
THE OHIO WAY.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 1.-THE cred
itors' committee, charged with an in
vestigation of the affairs of the de-
funct Farmers and Merchants bank,
the cashier of which, Henry w. Ga
zell, is under arrest charged with en-
bezzlement. tonight reported that the
depositors will be forced to shoulder
a loss of sl?5,000.
The report. made in a meeting of
$500 depositors, charged the deficit to
Gazell, alleging his speculations
proved disastrous to the institution.
TAFT STANDS FOR THIS.
THE OKLAHOMA WAY.
Guthrie, Okla, May 21.-Within n
hour from the time H. H. Smock, Ok
lahoma banking commission, had
taken charge of the International
Bank of Colgate he had authority to
pay the depositors in full, though
the banks cash and available funds
in other banks fell $4,000 short of
the total amount of deposits. The
commissioner was able to do this un-
der the operation of the new banking
law, and this is the first time 1t has
been called into use.

TO BUILD BUDDHIST TEMPLE.

Seattle TO Have Only Building OF KIND

Within the next fortnight work will
be begun on what will be the only
Buddhist church in the United States
owned by a Buddhist organization

The plans for the temple include a

POWER COMPARED TO LoNDoNs
Spokane Falls Developed Electrical
Energy Equal to One-Ihird That
OF Worlds Metropolis

The electricity generated by the
power plants In Spokane during 1907
was more than one-third as much as
that used in London in the same year,
according to figures shown by d. l..
Huntington, vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the Washington Wa
ter Power company, says the spokes-
man Review.
1.-The figures on the output Of the
kilowatt hours In London were
brought to my notice by man who
got them from statistical reports, ''
said Mr.. Huntington. This total out
put in 1907 in the metropolitan po-
lice area of London for power, heat
ing and lighting was 213,174,279
kilowatt hours. The output of mu-
nicipal plants was S7,9s5.001 kilo-
watt hours and Of private companies.
25,379,27S. The combined output OF
the Washington Water Power COM
pany's plants at Spokane and at Post
Falls was 79,456,SO6 kilowatt hours
think it is probable that figures
shown for London do not include the
electricity used for the operation OF
streetcars. They are significant,
however, as showing the extent to
which electricity is used in Spokane
and vicinity as compared with a CEN
ter about 25 times as popuious."

J. H. LAwREY TO ToPPENIsH
Well Known Young Attorney Leaves
Pendleton After a Residence OF
Over 20 Years.

Pendleton After a Residence OF
Over 20 Years.
John H. Lawrey, who for the past
25 years has been a resident of this
city, has closed his law offices here
and will leave next Monday for Top
penish, Wash, the new town in the
Yakima irrigated district, where he
will locate permanently in the prac-
tice OF his profession.
Mr.. LAwrey came here with his
parents in 1885 when but a small
boy and has been practically reared
in this city. He studied law in the
Oregon law school at Portland and
when he became of age was admitted
to the bar and has been engaged con-
tinuously in that profession since.
He was district attorney Of the
Umatilla- county district for
one term and for four years served as
deputy district attorney for the same
district. He has always been promi-
nent in lodge work, having taken an
active part in the Elks, Odd Fellows
and Woodmen of the World and en-
joys a wide circle of friends.
He has secured a flattering loca-
ton in Toppenish where he will rep
resent some large interests as private
counsel, aside from having an ex-
cellent outside practice. Toppenish
is growing and prosperous town
and although Mr.. Lawrey had a good
practice and many friends here, yet
the opportunity offered him there
was of unusual value and he decided
10 make a change.
He has fitted up offices in Toppen-
ish and his library and office effects
have already been shipped over. He
will leave on No. for Umatilla next
Monday and from Umatilla will cross
over to the Portland, Seattle and Spo-
kane road to go to Toppenish.
Mr.. Lawrey is we'll known through
out eastern oregon and has enjoyed
an excellent law business in this city
and county. He has always taken an
active interest in politics, also, and has
been prominent in the republican
party in the county since he became
, a voter,

Nn,row Escnne for Steel.

A. B. Steel, agent for the Pacific
Express company in this city, had a
narrow escape from death this fore
noon when a shotgun loaded with
heavy buckshot was accidentally dis
charged in the back room at the ex-
press office. The charge Of shot
passed through the wall and scattered
on entering the front office where
Mr.. Steel was seated at a desk and
one shot struck him in the back,
bruising him and raising bump but
not breaking the skin. The other
shot lodged in the walls of the office.
The thick intervening wall is all that
prevented the death of the agent, per-
haps, as the shot was discharged in
line with his body. The gun belong
ed to the express messenger and 1t
was not known that 1t was loaded.

So satisfactory was the farmers
train run through the Palouse dis
trict by the o. r. & N. company, that
farmers OF the Walla Walla and
Touchet districts have now started an
agitation for the same kind OF a
train and it Is possible that 1t may
be run into Umatilla county II far
mers this side OF the line join In the
request.
The matter Is now being discussed
by the farming experts OF Washing
ten state agricultural college at Pull
man and General Freight Agent r. B.
Miller Of the o. r. & N. and 1t ID
thought there is no doubt about the
arrangements being made.
1t is possible that Umatilla county
farmers will request farming experts
from oregon Agricultural college to
join in the movement and have the
train run into Umatilla and possibly
Morrow county for course Of lec-
lures on dry farming, 22:2.:t..-summer
fallow and deep plowing,
The farmers train recently run over
the o. r. & n. lines in the Palouse
district was well patronized, over g.
600 people listening to the lectures
and witnessing the demonstrations.

That the people OF Umatilla county
are not greatly hampered for money
in spite OF last falls financial furry,
is shown by the heavy tax payments
that were made during the three per
cent rebate period.
At the sheriffs office the deputies
have now completed posting all the
payments made and according to
Deputy A. C. Funk, total Of $685.
600 was paid in during the rebate
period. The total tax for the year
is $s50,0o0.
Last year only total OF 1920, 900
was paid in during the rebate period.
while the total tax for the year was
s2SS, 900.
Many tax payments are now being
received at the sheriff's office by
those who take advantage Of the half
payment offer. Under this plan tax
payer may pay half his taxes now and
half by October l without being sub
Ject to either penalty or interest.
Many large concerns take advantage
of this provision and thereby secure
the use of half their tax money until
fall.
AS fast as the money Is received at
the sheriff's office 1t is turned over
to the treasurer and as a result OF the
heavy payments made Treasurer Brad
ley will soon be able to call many
outstanding warrants.
According to Mr.. Bradley, he will
shortly call for all general fund war
rants registered prior to January /,
1907, and for all road warrants now
outstanding. He is now engaged in
paying off $4,000 in road warrants.
During the spring several calls for
general fund warrants will be made,
and according to the treasurer. he will
be able to take up all warrants out
standing longer than 10 months.
County Is Prosperous.
That the county now has but about
500, 900 In outstanding warrants was
declared this morning by Treasurer
Bradley and he holds that such an in
debtedness Is trifling compared with
the business and wealth Of the coun-
ty He says the outstanding war
rants merely represent the current
debt of the county and properly
speaking the county cannot be consid-
cred as in debt.
