TIE MERCHANTS AND FAR
MERS BANK FAILURE.

The most disastr0-s business
event 70 occur in this section in
many years was the failure Of
the Merchants & Farmers Bank
here. L has done great damsSe
- this section. Not only have
she depositors been thrown into
confusion and with = good pros-
pect sf losing a large par. of their
deposits, but many mercantile
firms under the protection Of this
bank, which enterprises in turn
supply a large number Of far
ners, must necessarily suffer.
The results cannot De estimated
and in addition 70 this it viii take
years to pacify the minds ot the
citizenship an3 restore their faith

money.
We have 10 desire to do the
directors ard officers of this in
stitution any harm; they have
our sympathy, but it is evident
that the business OF this institu-
tion has been badly managed for
a long time. These officials

failure Is due to improper hand

DELAY IN SECURING
TERMINAL GROUNDS
BLOCKS RAILROAD

That the fact the work on the Coy
ote cutoff is not being rushed to COM
pletion as quickly as possible is due
to the delay in securing local ground
for terminal purposes is the view OF
well informed railroad officials who
were here yesterday and discussed the
subject with Pendletonians.
II is pointed out that the work on
the cutoff can be finished in COM
paratively short notice, However i,
would avail the railroad company
nothing To rush that work since the
terminal grounds have not even been
secured yet. Not only that but It will
be some weeks yet before the ground
can be obtained and work started on
the improvements to be made here.
w. Arthur Robbins, one of the rail-
road attorneys was here yesterday in
connection with the condemnation
suits that have been brought by the
railroad company. II is said today
that the Van Orsdale case has been
settled to such an extent MIR. Van
Orsdale is moving off his property to-
day. However the George Geanuko-
pilos case will not come up for a
hearing until the latter part of Sep
tember. Consequently no speedy ter
mination OF the case can be had.
Meanwhile the railroad company
cannot proceed with the construction
of tracks, round house and other i'm
provements needed when the cutoff
goes into use. So the company would
gain nothing in rushing the work on
the cutoff. Particularly when II
would be advantageous to await a
rain before taking up the track laying
work.
