Union labor, represented by more than SOOi) skilled workmen, will take a hand in tho preliminary arrange ments of the great Rose Festival of' 1908 ut the meeting of the Federated Trades Council tonight. Committees presenting the several individual unions affiliated with the Trades Council will be selected either tonight or at a special meeting held within the next few days, and they will Join hands with the "Hundred-Thousand-Dollar Squad" which was named Wednesday night by the ways and means committee, of the Festival Asso ciation. This airangement, it is anticipated, will add close to 200 active solicitors for the great "campaign day" to the 35D that havo alreadjr been selected and which embrace all lines of business and Industry in the city. The lead- ers of organized labor are to be given a prominent position in the future actions of the Rose Festival Associa tion, for the reason that their influ ence among the daily tollers is such that they can command- much larger appropriations from the various affili ated bodies than could any other asso ciation or organization. ALL ' MUST FILE CLAIMS Receiver or Closed Bank Urges De positors to Action. v Many depositors in the closed Ore gon Trust & Savings Bank do not seem to understand that they must file affidavits showing the amount of their claims against the bank with Receiver Devlin in order that tbey may be checked up with the bank records. This step Is required, however, and should be taken by all depositors as soon as possible. It is also urged by the Depositors' Aesociatlon that all creditors of the bank sign for tele phone bonds at once, so that the work of reorganization may be effected at tht first opportunity. It is pointed out that all who signed a list of -Louis J. Wilde Immediately after the bank failure, agreeing to take telephone stock, must sign again with the Depos itors' Association in order that they may be given bonds, for the new list Is a different deal from that of Mr. Wilde, who merely sought an expres sion of depositors on the bo.nd ques tion. - Up to last night, $260,000 In tele phone bonds had been subscribed and it Is believed the required amount to warrant the reopening of the bank will be signed for. President Moore is confident of se curing the necessary $300,000 addi tional cash which will be put into the bank by him and his friends. How ever, this money is conditional upon the subscription of the telephone bonds by depositors and the taking of $150, 000 in bank stock. NOT CONFORMING TO THE LAW Washington I4fe Outside Pale of State Supervision. SALEM, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.) A communication having been published in yesterday's Oregonian criticizing Secre tary of State Benson for qlleged negli gence In looking after the Order of Washington, a fraternal Insurance con cern which cannot meet its obligations, Mr. Benson today made the following statement: It appears that the Washington Co-operative Life Insurance Association was Incorporated April 14. 18S3. and on September 10. 1898. changed Its name to the Order of Washington. Further, that by the provisions of . an act filed In the office of the Secretary of State February 21. 1891. the Washington Co-Oper-atlve Life Insurance Association, amongst other kindred associations, was afforded the privilege of conducting its business In this state without complying with the laws of Oregon respecting insurance corporations or asbociations, and consequently the Insurance Commissioner was relieved of the duty of supervising the affairs of such association, or it being In anf manner required -to report to the Insurance Department of this state. ' "Insurance Agent" should, therefore, have fully advised himself of the laws pertaining to insurance companies, as by his communi cation he assumed to be fully advised thereof, before attempting to cast odium on the pres ent Commissioner, who la very much embar rassed In the discharge of his o (Tela I duties on account of the Insufficiency of the laws of this state In such respect. If. ss stated. Insurance- companies and asso ciations are attempting; to transact an Insur ance business In this state and Issue special contracts and offer special Inducements to policyholders, such as set forth In his letter, and "Insurance Agent" Is In possession of such facts, he. as an honest and upright citi zen, should lay them before this department or the District Attorney of the county wherein he knows such offense is committed, with re quest that the proper steps be taken to tha end that ths laws may be fully enforced. Gen eral statements are often mad by persons In terested, but. when they are asked 1 to par ticularize, they fall do to do. and consequently are the ones principally to blame for tho fail ure of the law to accomplish Its purpose. Every request that has been made to the department, where sufficient jivldence has been produced, has been" referred to the proper official for attention, with the request that he take necessary action, and, therefore. It seems thai there Is no occasion for the writer to reflect, as he appears to be doing, on the efficiency of the Insurance Department of this state. X-RAY REVEALS BULLET Surgeons Remove Leaden Pellet From Chehalis Man's Skull. To carry a bullet in his brain for 12 years and to suffer from epileptic fits at intervals during that time from the pres sure of the leaden pellet upon ahis brain, was the strange experience of William Plersol, of Chehalis, Wash. Even more remarkable Is an operation, just com- Diagram, Showing Where Bullet Entered Head, and Where It Was Lodged for 12 Years. pleted at Good Samaritan Hospital, by means of which the bullet has been suc cessfully removed and Mr. Plersol Is now recovering from the effects of the opera tion. It is said he will entirely recover. Mr. Plersol was shot while on a hunting trip, the bullet entering at the forehead and lodging against the skull at the rear of the brain. The accompanying cut shows the location of the bullet, which was found by means of the X-ray. OREGON LAW COLLEGE.

Postoffice and Contents Destroyed With Business Houses, Dock and County Bridge. RIDGEFIELD, Wash.. Sept. .-"-(Special.) Frre believed to have been started by burglars did $30,000 damage In La Cen ter, early this morning. The fire was practically confined to one block and de stroyed besides a dock, warehouse, one residence, a portion .of the county bridge and several business houses, the building containing the postoffice. Nothing was saved from the postoffice. The individual losses are: - Kane Bros., general merchants,. $10,000; Jacob Kamm, warehouse and transporta tion company's dock, $7000: Knighton bar ber shop. $1000; Postoffice building and contents of office. $2000; Headley black smith shop, $2500; residence Mrs. Knigh ton, $2000; Office saloon, $2000; county bridge, $2000. Insurance will not cover the losses. The fire started shortly after 4 o'clock this morning in the Kane Bros.' store, and within a few hours had destroyed the entire block of buildings and about 300 feet of approach to the county bridge over Lewis River. Opening of the draw saved further damage to the bridge. A vacant block prevented a spread of the fire to the residence portion of the city. What Inclines the authorities to believe the fire was started by burglars was the finding of large quantities of merchandise stowed away on the unburned portion of the bridge. The Sheriff Is making an in vestigation of the suspicious circum stances attendant on the fire. La Center Is a village of 400 people, seven miles northeast of this city. Com munication with trie town is now made by means of a ford over Lewis River about three miles below the town. Kane Bros.' warehouse Is owned by Frank Hobart of Portland.

More than 400 men were present, and every man was at his best. There was a parade, review, muster and inspection, followed by regi mental and battalion drill, and the regi ment went through the various evolutions wfth the precision which has placed this command among the best Guard organ izations of the country. The review was - tendered General Charles F. Beebe and staff, former Guardsmen. General Beebe was the first commanding officer of the Portland regi ment, when it was known as the First Infantry. The regiment was inspected by the distinguished guests of the even ing, and afterward passed in review. The General took occasion to compliment the regimental commander. Colonel. C. B. McDonell, and his men, on the soldierly showing made by the regiment. Com panies F, B and C made a particularly strong showing. The first battalion was In command of Major F. S. Baker and the second was commanded by Major T. M. Dunbaf. TWO BIG DEALS CLOSED Vncle Sam' Hotel on Fifth Street South Changes Hands. Two real estate transactions involving $35,000 were closed yesterday afternoon. One of the properties sold is the Uncle Sam Hotel, at the southwest corner of Fifth and Couch streets, and the other Is the quarter block at the southwest corner of Front and Columbia streets.

Options on 25,000 acres of low land, lying along the Columbia River, in the vicinity of Clatskanie, have been se cured by R. B. Magruder, of Portland, who hopes to purchase the tract and reclaim it. The land Is overflowed during the high water and Is of small value In its present condition. Mr. Magruder and his associates believe that dykes and a drainage system will make the tract available for ag ricultural purposes and greatly In crease its value. The tract lies on both sides of the Columbia, the greater portion of it on the Oregon shore. ' If it is purchased it will be divided into tracts of from 6000 to 6000 acres and a large amount of money expended in Improving it. The entire expense of purchasing and developing the land is estimated at more than $500,000. - PERSONALMENTION.
