Greene. on the occasions of the lat
ter's visits to the coast Mr.. Peters
says that the growth is doubtless
more noticeable to him than to those
who have lived here all the time.
The first thing that attracted his
attention was the trees, so many of
which were only little sprouts Il year
or so old when he left here. Now
they are great big trees, and thou
sands have been planted since then
that are also big enough to attract
a great deal of attention. Then the

pany succeeded in driving the blues

a revival of one of his best musical

have been erected and the surround
ing gardens improved until the city
has an entirely different appearance
from that of other days.
Mr.. Peters primary object in COM
ing down here is to look over the
properties of the Greene & Griffin
Investment company. as well as their
listings and the various developing
projects in (which they are concerned
1t is the purpose of the company to
establish in Los Angeles a branch
office and place Mr.. Peters in
charge. While he has had thirteen
years of life here and possesses a
pretty good knowledge of what Ari-
IONA is and will be, in a general way,
he desires to acquaint himself with
all the facts of conditions as they are
today and familiarize himself with
the properties it will be his business
to help exploit. With Mr. Greene
and with Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin he will
leave today for a trip to Roosevelt to
see the big dam and reservoir and
intervening country.
| Mr.. Greene was one of the first
members of the board of trade to fos-
ter the project of maintaining a
branch of the board in Los Angeles
He believed it a good plan and does
yet, and what he regards as good for
the board of trade he also regards
as good for Greene & Griffin. The
boards branch is a community rep
tresentative in which they are inter-
ested. but they believe the field is sc
ripe for the harvest that they will
find it profitable to maintain a head
quarters there for the especial bene-
fit of their institution.
! Mr.. Peters heartily endorses the
idea and is quite enthusiastic over
the prospects. He says that from
what he knew of the valley before
and what he now sees he feels certain
that its prosperity is now only in its
infancy; that the next few years will
witness growth more marked than
that of any preceding period. Com
| pairing conditions with Southern Cali
fornia and the apparent future here
he believes there win be no stop. to
! the business development until nearly
all the large holdings are cut up into
twenty or forty acre tracts. Mr..
Peters expects to be here until Sun
day, if not longer.

Finances and Markets

New York, Oct 26.-The waning in
fluence of some of the factors which
have been relied on to lift and hold the
prices of stocks became evident in to-
days market The growing firmness
of the money market made more
positive force on the side of depres-
sion. The technical position was in
favor of the party of reaction as a re-
suit of the accumulation of holding in
the course of the advance with no 9TH
1er purpose than to resell at profit.
such selling was heavy at times, but
the closing prices were above the low
est. The interior demand for currency
has expanded again Unexpectedly this
week. This meets the necessity for
preparations for November l settle
ments which include the maturity OF
large obligations in London.
The stiffening call money rate yes
terday and today is looked upon as
merely preliminary to higher rates next
week. 1t is suspected that the rise in
the discount rate in London is having
the effect of inducing the transfer of.
Canadian bank balances, which are
large in New York, to the London mar
ket
The fall in British consols to 7S%

TWO HELIX BURGLARS
LODGED IN JAIL

Jack Wilson and Steve Selner are
the two latest additions to the guest
list Of the Umatilla county Jail. OPP
posite their names on he register ap-
pears the word "burglary" which tells
briefly the profession of the two new
arrivals. They were brought in this
morning from Helix on the Northern
Pacific train, having been captured
yesterday morning at Vansycle after
they had raided the cellar of William
Knuckles near Stanton.
For some time past the Helix coun-
try has been made the scene of the
depredations of these or other burg
lars and yesterday. when Knuckles
discovered. that his collar door had
been pried off during the night and
a goodly lot of his canned fruit along
with his overcoat carried off, he inn
mediately called in two neighbors,
Viii Isaacs and j. Peterson and the
!lree started in pursuit The cul-
prits werei trailed to Vansycle station
where they were located and arrestel i
in the bunk house of the grain ware
house at that place. They had cached
their booty but the self appointed Of
ficers had no doubt as to their identity.
They were taken to Helix for the night
and brought on to. Pendleton today
by their captors and turned over to
the custody of Sheriff Taylor and his
deputies.

Seattle, Dec. 20.-The city coun-
Gil graft investigating committee
which has been investigating the po-
lice and lighting departments of the
city government for several months
completed its work and filed its fl
nal report with the council last night.
The report, which is an elaboration of
the partial report filed several weeks
ago, again recommends the dismissal
of Chief of Police Charles w, Wap-
penstein. The report was adopted
with two dissenting votes. AS the
council has no authority over the
chief of police the report must go to
Mayor Hiram c. Gill for approval and
unless he agrees with the committee's
findings Wappenstein will remain at
the head of the police department.
| The report also recommends that Ser
geant Frank Bryant and two patrol
| men who were on duty in the restrict
| ed district be severely disciplined, II
not dismissed from the service, hold
ing that they were either negligent oil
| incompetent
! The committee finds that Richard
| NJ. Arms, superintendent of lighting
! turned away profitable business ant
was overcautious in seeking new con-
tracts, but eXonerates him of the
charge of attempting to wreck the mu'
nicipal light and power plant.

HOLIDAYS WILL Be
OBSERVED monday

BY arrangement between the lead
ing business houses OF the city holidays
will be observed this year on the Mon
days following Christmas and New
Years. The move was started by
clerks who do not want to lose both
holidays through the fact that Christ
mas and New Years fall upon Sum
days this time. A petition calling for
the closing of all establishments on
Mondays was started yesterday and
@as circulated by George Ferguson OF
the Alexander store. However it was
not fully signed up until this morning
and for time 1t looked like the move
would fail throug the refusal Of one
or more business houses to go into
the agreement.
AS it now stands the agreement for
the observance OF all day holidays
Monday, December 26 and Monday,
january 2, Is signed by the follow
ing firms:
Alexander Department Store.
The Peoples Warehouse.
The Wohlenberg Department Store.

Under the law all public offices are
permitted TO remain closed on Mon
days when holidays fall upon the Sab
bath SO it is evident that the Mondays
following Christmas and New Years
will be generally observed as holidays
throughout the city.

For some hours IL was believed that
only dynamite coud have wrought
such instantaneous ana demoIshing
havoc. but late in the afternoon Fire

the explosion was due to a mixture of

lighting railroad cars, touched off by
an electric spark. The gas had ac-
cumulated in the auxiliary power
house from a broken pipe snapped
Ioff by a runaway passenger car.

the power house, which was COM
pletely wrecked; the delay to con-
struction work and the damage done
