Berlin today of reports that strong

Hawaii TO Join Colonel Bromwell ana
remain there with him Rs long as MS
asslgnment at Honolulu lasted.
Colonel BromweiTs associates in the
united states army, many OF them
VINO knew him at West Point, said to-
Day that they believed he was muT-
dered by Japanese spy who had
been denied admittance to the forti-
fications under construction or had
met with foul play Rs a result or his
rigid disciplinary methods.
He Is understood to have incurrsl
the enmity of a number OF Japanese,
OF being a spy. because OF his strictly
enforced orders to keep every one
away from the fortihcations except
those actually engaged in construct
ing them. Japanese labOrers. or men
masqueradinB as such, are said to
have been frequently elected from tho
fortihcations after being discovered
there.
Investigation II Demanded.
Colonel BromwelPs SON. Scott Bron-
well, who is a student at Harvar1.
today wired several army Officers to
use their good OFFICES in bringing
about . thorough probe Of the shoot
Ing. The son said when he last visit
ed Colonel Bromwell in Honolulu tho
latter Informed him that q great deal
Of trouble was being experienced, in
Keeping Japanese out Of the fortif-
cations and expressed doubt that he
or his associates fn charge OF the
Work would ever leave Honolulu
alive.
The sons telegram follows: ''I do not
believe the dispatches saying my father
committed suicide. Before ] left Hon
olulu he told me that he and some other
officers engaged on the construction Of
the forttfiOations would never leave the
island alive. Only those who have not
been out there can realize the serious
situation. His servants, moreover, were
japanese. Have rigid investigation Of
murder theory made"
Body to Be Brought Here.
Carl Vrooman. assistant secretary Of
the Department OF Agriculture. and a
brother-in-law of Col. Bromwell, said
the absence of motive for suicide
strongly inclined the family TO the muir
der theory. He said Col. Bromwell was
of a bright. CHEEKY temperament, was
happy with his family, interested in
his work. comfortably fixed financially
and enjoyed good health. Mr.. Vroo-
man said Col Bromwell's strict dis
cipInarY methods may have led to an
attack which resulted in his death.
Several complaints were made against
him by contractors, but this was said
TO be not unusual in cases Of big con-
struction work.
Col. Bromwell's body will be brought
to this country on the first transport
leaving Honolulu and win probably be
buried with military honors at Airing

ness of water transportation
and indicate what the opening
of the Columbia is going to
mean to the inland empire.
Further evidence is found in
the fact that when the Cascade
Locks canal was opened a re-
duction of As per cent was
made in the grain rate from
The Dalles to Portland.
1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose that if the wheat belt of
Umatilla county can be con-
nected with the Columbia by a
hard surface road so as to pro-
vide for transporting wheat to
the river at a low cost the grain
rate can be cut in half.
To reduce the grain rate by
half would mean 100000 a
year to our farmers. Such a
reduction would mean on land
producing Is bushels per acre
a saving of $3.50 a year for each
quarter section. Now if to Sc
cure the roads needed it should
be necessary to bond the coun-
ty to the very limit-which no
one is advising-the interest
tax on each $1,000 of assessed
property would be S1.25 a
year. On land assessed at $50
per acre it would be a tax of
$40 a year for each quarter
section. In other words by
paying $40 in interest on road
bonds a farmer could save
$3.50 in his freight tax. He
would be making 1900 per cent
on his investment.
When there are prospects of
such benefits through a road
to the river is it not time to re-
wise our old notions about road
building and as to the amount
of money we can afford to
spend on highways?

THE FIRST 100000, 900
BANK.

MDOZEN years ago the larg-
II est bank in the United
States had deposits Of but
little more than $10O,0O0,000;
one year ago the deposits of
the largest bank were only
slightly more than $200,000,-
900; today we have our first
$30O,000,000 bank, the Ma
tional City Bank of New York,
in it's report of condition to the
comptroller of the currency as
of March A, showing $780,
565, 900 of deposits. This gain
of more than $1OO,O00,OOO in
deposits for one year has, of
course, never been equalled be-
fore.
Aside from the mere size
which we in America take
pride in, the phenomenal
growth of the bank in the past
year has great significance. For
the statements to the comptrol-
Ter show that while the Nation

and think it expedient and
they are experts at the busi-
ness. They will swindle a
county just as often and just as
heavily as they can get away
with it. This statement is
based on information this
newspaper has from good
sources.
The operations of one bridge
man in this county were fully
exposed by the East Oregon
ian last fall. After that expos
ure it would be natural to ex-
pect the swindlers to leave this
county alone for a time. Yet
there is a report from a reliable
source that the 10 bidders who
were here a few days ago tried
to get together with a view to
robbing the county of $4,000
on the bridges the county pro-
posed to build. The fact that
one or two men would not
stand in on the deal caused the
plot to fail and. we secured
some very reasonable bids.
Unless those in the bridge
selling business reform their
ways and cut out their game OF
swindle and corruption the
counties of the state should
strive to find some other way
of buying bridges.
Our state officials will do
we'll indeed to make bridge
men keep their hands off the
state highway commissions af-
fairs.

II important thing about
the good roads question
in this county is not how much

There are ways of estimat-
ing the probable reduction in
rates. It costs as much to ship
wheat by rail from Pendleton
to Portland as is charged in
normal times to carry wheat
from Portland to Liverpool
The wheat rate to Portland by
rail is almost three times the
rate charged to carry wheat
across the Atlantic ocean from
New York to England.

al City has a record volume Of
deposits, other banks have
made tremendous gains in the
past couple of months. The
Continental & Commercial of
Chicago gained $36,646,000
since Dec. 81, or even more
than the $35,757,0OO gain re-
ported by the big New York
institution.
The explanation of these
sensational gains lies in the fact
that Europe is borrowing heav-
lily from Uncle Sam, and the
credits thus established are be-
ing placed on deposit at the
banks. Europe is still buying
heavily from US, while at the
same time her sales have not
increased in anything like the
same prop0rlon.
On one day last week ex-
ports from New York totalled
$1O,OO0,OOO, the biggest day in
history, and for five days the
volume also made a new high
record at $35, $4,000 Instead
of paying in cash, Europe is
giving us notes bearing good
interest rates. Our banks can
carry unlimited amounts OF
this business, as is indicated by
the fact that the National City
has so per cent of cash reserves
on hand, as against the 18 per
cent required by the new fed
eral reserve act.
1t is big business and good
business, and its beneficial re-
suits must necessarily be shared
in part by the whole country.
