HOW JAY BOWERMAA, ALIAS J0|NDER, AIDED
j. THORBURN ROSS IN SW|NDuNG THE STATE

passed the senate February Is and be-
came a law.
The result of this bill was the de-
posit OF state funds with the Title
Trust, trust companies having been
included within the bill. When the
Title Trust went to the wall, it held
$Ss5,oO0 of state money, which it was
unable to pay. but this sum was ulti-
mately made good to the state by the
state treasurer's bondsmen.
Bowerman's Hand Again.
Haines' senate bill for the regula-
ton of banking, under which Ross
was afterward convicted, came up in
the senate on February is, 1907, ,~and
was sent to the committee on bank
ing. 1t emerged from that commit
tee the same day, after it had been
amended to extend the time from six
to twelve months in which banks
were required to report to the state
examiner and to extend the time from
one year to IS months in which
banks were required to fully comply
with the act. Bowerman was a men,
ber of this committee.
The particular interest of Ross in
this bill was made plain when he was
later placed on trial. His attorneys
contended that the criminal provis-
ions of the bill did not go into effect
until the expiration of the full Is
months, or until November, 1908, and
that Ross could not be convicted fol-
his juggling because the law was moi
in force. The Ross Interpretation OF
the law was not sustained in the
courts and he was convicted.-Port.

CIVIC CLUB EXPLAINS.
Definite Purpose Stated for Proceeds
From "Pinaforc',

From "Pinaforc''.
There has been so much misunder-
standing and Misrepresentation by
some who did not know the object of
the Civic club in giving the comic
opera "Pinafore" that it seems that
an explanation is necessary.
Some people have confused the
name and the object of the "Civic
club" with the "Civic league" but
they are not connected in any man.
ner
The Civic club is a company of pub
lie spirited ladies who have the good
of the city at heart and who have in
times past respondea to the call of
the Commercial club or any demand
of the public in the support of such
institutions as the public library, the
rest room, helping to pay for band
concerts, etc., and IN every way CO.
operating and assisting the CONNER
cial club.
Some time ago 1t was proposed that
the Civic club should take UP the
matter of public parks and it is for
this purpose that they are desirous
of raising funds.
The resources of Pendleton do not
need to be explained to the residents
here but to strangers passing through
or visiting the city, the public parks
or the appearance of a neat parking
around the depot will attract more
attention and favorable comment
( than any amount of other advertis-
ing and 1t Is just this object that is
at this time interesting the ladies of
he Civic club, so they feel that their
efforts should meet with the hearty
approval and support Of the public
when they present, in the Oregon the
ater, the splendid comic opera, H. NJ

Come out and enjoy a good opera,

How Japan Exploits Korea

Japanese are working with furious
energy to bring Korea into harmony
with the commercial needs of their
country. Engineers and mechanics
of all kinds are being transported to
the points most favorable for devel-
opment. Japan finds agricultural
products and coal, her imperative nee
essaries, equally producible there.
The forests of Yalou are magnificent,
and cotton-fields are being laid out.
On foreign raw cotton Japan has
hitherto spent annually about $25,00O.-
900. Wool she has obtained from
Australia. She is now determined to
gather it from the pastures of Ko-
rea. The raising of cattle and the
manufacture of leather are also be-
ing carried on there by Japanese.
Of course the question is how to
populate the country thoroughly with
Japanese colonists"
AS this writer remarks: "The
Japanese government, by promises,
grants of land, and subsidies, is fast
attracting settlers. They are to es-
tablish private banks and govern
ment banks. They make cash ad-
vances in order that the emigrants
may be saved the anxieties and diff
culties which beset all such enter
prises as theirs"
Japanese villages are to be found
Systematically in Korea, with a local
colonial government, "a sort OF expan-
sion of the native country" The
japanese are acting precisely as Ger
many acts in Teutonising Russia.
They are transplanting local sections
of their population. Parties from the
same canton or village are made up
of people connected by ties OF blooA
or association in trade or profession.
The journey by rail from Tokyo to
Shimonoseki, thence by steamship
across the straits to Fusan, and on
by the line which runs northWard TO
Seoul, can be completed for a tare OK
$40. The ruling powers of Japan go
even further, we are told as follows:
CAS- in Japan itself they will pro-
vide teachers and schools, doctors and
hospitals, even priests and pagodas.
Tokyo will refuse the exlled people
nothing, and every measure will be
taken to alleviate the gloom OK $50
lation and to give to everything the
appearance of life as it is led III
veritable Japanese country. THESE
are great plans, but by no means cn'-
merical, and indeed the realisation
of them is not very far of" he

A country which has been made a
protectorate is generally protected
mainly by warding off from it any
foreigners except those sent by the
protecting government In Korea,
the protection of Japan has resulted
in a systematic Japanese exploitation
of the hermit kingdom. Japanese
settlers are pouring into the PENN
sula, and the quays of Shimonoseki,
the Japanese starting point for Korea,
are crowded several times week
with emigrant bands waiting to cross
the straits. Farming and mining are
undertaken under the encouragement
and with the pecuniary assistance of
the government at Tokyo, and JAP
anese energy and capital are fast
Transforming Korea into an important
agricultural and industrial corner of
Asia. This we read in the Tour du
Monde (Paris), which continues:
Every single year since the Japan
csc victory over the Russians, more
than 100000 emigrants have passed
over into Korea. There must be now
close on 100000 of them there.
Anyone who visits the country must
allow that this is no exaggerated es-
innate. The Al railway stations which
stud the line as far as Seoul, and the
40 others between that point and va.
lou, are not only so many points OF
attraction to the Japanese colonlsts,
but each one also constitutes centre,
or rather a base, from which the col
lected colonists scatter in every oil
rection towards the interior, those

able settling place. In the corner
which he selects the Japanese settler
at once takes up permanent quarters,
and sends for his own people and
friends, without much regard to the
interests of the natives whom he Is
supplanting and injuring.
The japanese government fayors
this colonization in every possible
way, for Japan is too small to sup
port it's teeming population. The
writer remarks:
.'The resources of Japan are quite
insufficient to feed its 4S,0OC,OO0 In
habitants, though they would be am
pie for 25,o00,000. This makes Japan
dependent on foreign importationsl
and good years and bad years alike
she spends abroad some $3O,00O,o0C
for rice. BY putting a portion OF
Korea under rice cultivation it is eX
pected that foreign importations will
in a short time be insignificant. Inc

Stella if he would see her, or at least
of hearing that all was well.
stephen watched until the sixth
day. and saw neither Stella nor Mrs

spair.
| On the seventh day Louis, while
climbing the hill from the Vale, saw
the Vale carriage coming down to

His heart beat fast, and he stood
still.
But the carriage rolled on, and in
response to his raised hat there was
only a frosty little bow from Mrs
Newton who did not choose to stop fol-
Mr.. FELTON,, the sculptor.
From Stella he got smile that was
full of a tender meaning, and which
seemed to say:
BE patient; / am true.
With this he was obliged to be sat
isfied, and returned to his studio, de
termined to work harder than ever
and wait with greater trust.
No sooner had he reached home
than Stephen came to him and hello
out a tiny piece of folded paper.
'"What is that?" said Louis, with
weary irritation.
"A note," said Stephen, sullenly.
where from?" asked Louis.
From Miss Newton" said Ste
phen.
Louis snatched it from him.
"Where-how did you come by it?'
he asked, his cheeks flushed with de
light.
II was standing in the road looking
at the carriage, and saw the young
lady drop it out. She looked as if she
meant me to pick it up, and l did,
Good, clever Stephen!" said Lou
is, and directly the man had gone he
pressed the little scrap Of paper te
his lips.
Then he opened it.
The note was a very short one, but
confirmed his fears. 1t ran thus:
Dear Mr.. FELTON," (This was
marked out, and Louis" put in its
place.: II know you are anxious about
me, because / have seen you in the
park and Stephen watching the house
Do not be alarmed Or uneasy, al

While Sir Richard was at work

The statue was gaining form and
grace each day, and he worked with a
restless Impotence, which sprang
from one other cause besides his ar

He had seen nothing of Stella since
the day Sir Richard had frightened
her away.
Several times he had taken a walk
through the park in the hope of seeing
her, and once, driven to rashness by
his lover-like imaptience, he had
called at the Vale.
But Miss Newton was denied to

to return home and try to lose him
