SUES To
RECOVER
BANK STOCK

Alleging that the Farmers & Me-
chanics Bank, of Woodburn, refused
to transfer on it's book certain
share of stock purchased in the in
stitution and that afterwards under
a pretended sheriff's sale bought 1t in
for the cost Of an action, the Pioneer
Fire Insurance company has COM
menced a suit in the circuit court in
which it asks that the certificate be
transferred on the books of the bank
and that it be declared to be it's legal
owner.
The insurance company bought the
certificate from ]. P. Meyers paying
$4,000 for It, Meyers, 1t seems, had
bought 1t from the bank paying the
same sum for 1t and giving for 1t his
note. The company says that when
It asked to have the certificate trans
ferred on the books the bank declined
to do so and that later F. NJ Kemp
brought an action in the circuit court
on the $4,000 not given by Myers and
also a note for $1,000 and attached
the stock for which the certificate
was given. The insurance company
claims that the Endorsement Of, the
note was not genuine and that the
purchase Of the certificate for the
sum of s33s.35 was invalid

Washington, March 9.--The report
that President Diaz of Mexico has
been dead 4S hours spread rapidly
through officialdom here In the alb
sence of official confirmation the re-
port was generally credited on the
ground that Diaz, who is more than
30 years old, has been seriously Ill
for weeks and his death has been ex-
pected. 1t is also pointed out that
only the death of Diaz could COM
pletely explain American military
activity of the last few days.
It Is known that DiaZ' death would
be kept secret as long as possible and
official denials would be Issued as
long as there was any opportunity to
conceal the true facts. For this rea-
son only slight credence is given the
official denials issued by Mexican
representatives here and at Mexico
City 1t is pointed out that the only
news that has been permitted to
come over the censored Mexican gov
ernment telegraph lines for the last
few days has been denials Of the ru-
mors that Dlaz was in critical con-
dition. These reports came from
high official sources most interested
in concealing the fact Of Diaz' death,
II he Is dead.

OF the fact that the southern presi

that he was living. 1t was merely
reassuring message addressed to Diai

There is a feeling that there would
not have been so much opposition to
the Bridge and Union street fran
chise if it had been better under
stood. Even when it was finally
passed over the mayors veto, there
were features that the general public
did not comprehend. The Oregon
Electric franchise should be thor
oughly investigated by the business
men of the city before it is passed by
the city council.
Terms of Franchise.
The Oregon Electric franchise
asked for is a line west on Mill
street across the south Mill creek
gulch, that will cost the company
about $4,000 to build and bridge the
creek? Then the track will go south
along the bank of the slough practi-
cally out of sight and with no dan
gerous crossings in the city at ALL To
that part of the franchise there will
be no objection.
West on Trade Street.
The Oregon Electric also asks a
franchise on the south side of Trade
street from High to Commercial with
physical connection with the Sou
thern Pacific. In this part of their
franchise there is a common-user
clause, as this is an industrial track.
They agree to fill the south side Of
Trade street and put their track to
grade and pay all cost for repaving
the street where already paved.
