SPRAY

On the banks of the John
Day River in Wheeler Coun-
ty, Oregon, is the little town
OF Spray. About Is years
ago John f. Spray, who now
resides at Cottage Grove, Or.
conceived the idea that a
prosperous little village
might be built, that it would
be a convenience to the farm
ers and stckmen who lived IN
the surrounding country both
from a financial and a social
standpoint, and with this
idea firmly fixed laid out the
present town site and the
foundation for the Town Hall.
He also built the first store
and then the advantages OF a
nearby trading point begun
to dawn on the mind of the
then sparcely settled commu-
mites tributary to it. From
that day on Spray has grad
ually grown little by little
until il has reached its pres
ent proportions, while not
large, possesses advantages not
te be obtained in more pre-
tentious cities.
The people in and around
Spray retain that old time
pioneer so ciability, not clan
ish, but recognizing all men
with that degree OF eaqullty
characteristic Of the days
wen our commonwealth was
young.
SPRAY has two merchan-
disc stores doing a fairly good
business, and one livery aud
feed barn, one blacksmith
shop, "A confectionery, and a
hotel. There are two church
organization, a good church
building and union Sunday
school. We have Il good
public school in which tie
9Th grade is taught and the
board Of directors are con
templating the advlseablllfy
of adding the teuth grade at
the next term which, Will he
gin sometime III September.

THAT SUM IN AMERICAN GOLD

Negro Has Made Sure That Tt Cannot

HAVANA, Cuba.-Thirty thous-
and dollars in American gold has
been deposited in Havana bank SUBJ
ject to the order of Stakeholder Bob
Vernon. This is the sum Jack John
son will be handed when he reaches
the track on Sunday, April 4, at Ha-
vana, for his Aground worlds cham
pionship battle with Jess Willard.
Johnson wants American gold and
the entire sum has been deposited in
safe deposit vault in shining gold
eagles.
''No matter where you are that
gold money buys anything you want,
from a plate of soup to an automo-
bile" declares Johnson. $50, gimme

A cashiers receipt has been made
out for the money in favor of Stake
holder Vernon. Before Johnson gets
into the ring this receipt will be en-
dorsed by him, and trusted friend
will hold it while Johnson is battling
Willard through the ring through
the As rounds or less.
johnson anticipates no trouble in
getting his money out of Cuba. This
country is a debtors paradise. They
can summon a man to court in Cuba
for debt, but they cannot collect a
judgment. He has three years in
which to pay the Judgment before
any drastic action can be taken
against him. No judgment obtained
against johnson in the United States
can be collected in Cuba, so the anx-
ious holders of these several judg-
ments might as well save their time
if they try to collect. Johnson look
ed up all these points, and then sat
isfied himself that the money was
safe in Cuba.

bankruptcy Proceedings.

bankruptcy TTOG&GunBss
Alleging that a mortgage in favor
of John Holtsinger, of Arlington, for
$500 was given by S. T. Nance, for
merly operating at Dawson under the
style OF the Nance Furniture Co.,
with intention to hinder and defraud
other creditors equally entitled to
claims against Nance's homestead ex-
emptions, a petition in equity t1led
in the superior court by the Union
Furniture Co. of South Carolina was
heard late yesterday afternoon before
Judge e. e. Cox.
The petitioners asked that a re-
ceived be appointed for s. t. Nance
and that the mortgage held by Holt
singer covering the stock Of furniture
be Cancelled and surrendered.
1t was pointed out in the petition
that Mr.. Nance was adjudicated a
bankrupt on Jatunry IS, 1915, and
that it was since that time and be-
fore homestead exemptions in the
usual amount of 81 900 had been set
aside by the federal court that the
mortgage to Holtsinger was given
and that other credit RS holding
claims to homestead were equally en-
tied to equity in whatever may be
set aside as exempt.
The petitioners also claimed the
stock of furniture is worth more
than $500; that it invoiced at some
thing over $4,000 and that it was
appraised at about $ 500.
H. A. Wilkinson, of Dawson, was
plaintiffs attorney in the case, while

INJURED on behalf of the defendants,

After going into the status of the
case Judge Cox declined to appoint a
receiver on condition that the defend
ant furnish bond in the amount OF
$500 as a. valuation covering the
stock of furniture that will come into
his control if set aside as exemptions
in the bankrupt proceedings.
Owing to the points of law involv-
ed the case is one in which there was

HE LOSES MILLIONS
IN KAISER'S VENTURE
STANCE STORY OF PROPERTY
WHICH MAY BE CONFTSCAT-
ED BY GOVERNMENT.
SEATTLE MANS MILLIONS IN 1T

Because the Emperor of Germany Is
Interested With Him in Big Min
ing Enterprise. The Property VIII
Divert to Dominion of Canada.
SEATTLE, Wash.-Five million
dollars invested in Canadian coal
lands by Count Alvo Alvensleben, of
Seattle, is likely to be irretrievably
lost because the count was unfOrtu-
nate enough to have interested with
him in his big mining enterprises no
less a parsonage than the Emperor
of Germany. The count, too, is Ger
man. Since the outbreak of the war
he has confined his business opera
lions to the American side of the
line. He is the dominant figure in
the IssaQuah and Superior coal mines
of this state.
According to advices from Wash
ington it is known to the British au-
thorities that part of the money he
invested in the Canadian mines was
the kaiser's, and it is believed that
the title may be Cancelled and the
property confiscated by the Canadian
government. The only question at is
sue is whether this money belonged
personally to the kaiser or whether
he caused it to he invested on behalf
of his empire. In the latter event
the property, which has been extern
sively improved and developed, will
revert Immediately to the Dominion
government.
Much of the property involved,
which is situated in the Grounding
anthracite district and at the head
| fork of the Stikine river, already has
been transferred to German-Ameri-
can citizens and the Canadian gov
eminent is investigating the validity
of these transfers.
The fact that the property was or
| is owned by the kaiser was elected
at Washington in connection with the
story of the retirement of Count Won
| Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
! 1t also has developed, it is said, that
| the mission of DR.. Darnberg, the for
mer colonial minister of Germany
who came to this country ostensibly
to build up friendly relations between
the United States and Germany, was
| in reality to act as the kaiser'S fnan'
cial representative in the United
| States and Canada. Tt is known thai
! the kaiser is heavily interested in the
Hamburg-American line and in the
loans negotiated in Germany by the
city of New York.
The Canadian properties in which
the kaiser is interested were acquired
| by Count Alvensleben some two
years ago.
