In Memoriam, Arthur L. Frazer. Died December 3d, 1907. To die all valiant In the strife. Wresting new laurels from each task! What other could we any aek. Who make so much the Ues qf life? Oh, less by far than he hath made Of his short years already epent! Whose soul so fun of fine Intent, Wore out the scabbard with the blade! His toll-worn body could not rise To meet the spirit's high command. To do the good that he had planned. Should be his Autumn's- richest prize. The many hands, that stretch to grasp The ermine that he graced so well. Know that the judgeship's but a shell. If love doth leaven not the tak. Such love he had! The children know, Whose tears are Jewels for his bier. His love did win them more than fear To paths In which their steps should go. And every child who loves his name. That patterns to the standard set. Shall In his hlher self beget A monument to grazer's fame. (Signed) . M. H. CLARK. c. p. Mclaughlin. JOHN B. BOYS. 0 Committee.

That branch of his work probably his greatest work was cast on lines which we, in the discharge of our duties, must keep In view, made it possible for us In a measure to know and appreciate the value of this gifted man.

Four-fifths of the bankers of the state. Judging from this canvass, are well sup plied with cash and report depositors generally In a good temper. The opinion is quite general that when the lid is lifted, it should come off' grad ually. This can be accomplished, It is believed. by slowly Increasing the amounts the banks will pay out to de positors and gradually adding to loans. In thiB way, almost before the public knows the conditions, the banks in this state will be back on a normal basis. The statement of Portland National banks, issued yesterday in response to the . call of the Controller on December 3, is quite a remarkable shAwing. The actual figures show a better condition than most people believe exists. Cash on hand Is practically 50 per cent of all deposits, -which is twice what the Na tional banking act calls for. Deposits, the chief liability of the banks, have been decreased without any considerable Invasion of the assets. The First National Bank has lessened its de posits since August 22, when the last statement appeared, to the amount of $1,839,475.54. The United States National has decreased its deposits $1.438.45103. At the same time, cash on hand and due from banks has been decreased only $77,562.14 in the case of the First National and $1,122,770.40 in the case of the United States National. - The amount of cash on hand and due from banks is the chief item of interest In a bank statement arfd especially its comparison witli the chief liability, the amount of deposits. For example, the FirBt National has $12,872,210.54 in de posits, while its reserve is $5,932,049.09, or 46 per cenj. The United States National Bank has deposits of $5,701,786.56 and a reserve of $2,320,019.78, or 40 per cent. The legal reserve of the First National Is about $3,218,000. It is therefore carrying $2,711,000 more cash on hand or due from banks than the National banking law re quires. The legal reserve of the United States National is about $1,400,000. Its actual reserve Is therefore $900,000 greater than the law requires. What is perhaps quite the most re markable Item in the bank statement Is the showing made by the item, "loans and discounts." The First National has Increased this figure by J12S.S2S.22 since August 22, and the United States. Na tional $200,367.64 Iduring the same period. This means that the banks have been standing by the business interests, help ing them out by " making further loans, and shows that they have not been press ing debtors at a "time when those who depend on the banks for aid have been hard put to it for their working capital. President Mills, of the First National, and President Ainsworth, of the United States National, regard the statement Just Issued as most favorable ones. With the large cash reserves disclosed by the latest report, it is believed general con fidence in the banks is certain to be greatly Increased. IiAlVTER JPOK SIRETY COMPANY AV. C.

PORTLAND. Dec. 4. (To the Editor.) It has been stated many times in the public press that my advice to my clients prevented a number of depositors of Lie Oregon Trust & Savings Bank from en tering into a plan of reorganization of that institution. . As to a largej number of these supposed clients they are acting upon their own judgment without any ad vice from me. As to some others I .,ave advised them In their interests and fdr no other reason not to accept bonds of the Home Telephone Company In pay ment of a part of their claims. ' I have reasons for giving this advice but I have refrained from stating them because I do not wish to influence other persons who are not my clients in their action. If it 'shall become necessary to defend myself from this public criticism of me I will state my reasons; I prefer, how ever, not to do so. I understand there are 600 depositors representing $250,000, who are not my clients, who have not entered Into the proposed plan of reorganization. Under these circumstances the criticisms of me are unjust. CHARLES J. SCHNABEL. OLLIE MACK HAS HIS SAY Denies That Gladys Van Has Finan cial or Other Claim on Him. ALBANY, Or., Dec. 8. (To the Editor.) Inasmuch as Mies Gladys "Van has seen fit to air her and others affairs' in The.Ore gonlan, I deem it only right In justice to myaelf to give you the correct version. Miss Van claims I left her stranded at Port land, without money. MIsa Van has re ceived $50 a week for the past 13 weeks, of which ehe received $100, two weeks' salary, at Portland, and I hold her signed receipt for all claims up to and Including: November SO. 19o7, at which time her connection with my company ceased. She retired from the company voluntarily, she Riving the usual two weeks' notice, at Aberdeen, "Wash., November 18, to Mr. Mutr ray, my stage manager, who tried to persuade her to remain, but she refused, saying she intended to close at Portland, which ehe did. I did not dischargfi her. Her statement that she furnished me money to equip the Murray & Mack show im too ridiculous for serious comment. Regarding her pawning her Jewels, ehe did that to get money to go from New York to Muncle. Ind.$ where we were re hearsing another woman in the part she played. She made all sorts of threats, and rather than have any trouble In Mr. Murray's home town, against my judgment I re-engaged her, the same as I would any woman, it being simply a business proposition, with me. She fully understood It as such, agreeing to keep away from me, which ehe failed to do, and immediately caused trouble, because I would not marry her. Such a thought am marriage to her never having entered my head, I refused to do so. Regarding Miss Van's claim that sh was my wife because she was so registered at various hotels for the past wo years. I wish to eay that she only secured her divorce from her hueband. Dave Nowlln. last February, at Chicago. I was on the stand during the di vorce proceedings, but only to prove that he had not supported her during the year past. Some kir.d-hearted friend of Miss Van should inform her that threats to shoot and kill are liable to get her Into twrlous trouble. If she was married to me, as she states, then Blily Link and GuPlxley are step-husbands of mine, as they also experienced the same difficulty In shaking this lady's desire tp be a real, honest-to-good nesa Mrs. I regret exceedingly that this trouble should come up, as I am not looking for notoriety of this sort, and all I desire Is to be left alone, to lead the right kln of a life. Regarding one TV. H. BuIIen'e claim that this show owes him any money for acting as advance agent, will Btate that when he re tired from my employment, November 23, my books show that he was Indebted to me for $58.97. It was only by the entreaties of Mr. Murray that I refrained from having him arretted at Portland for obtaining money undeY false pretenses, tie having obtained $48 from Mr. Ryan, manager of the Marquam Grand, on the plea that he wanted it to pay freight charges on the show's printing, which charges he failed to pay. and I had to pay them. Mr. Ryan will verify this statement. Mr. Bullen evaded Yne all week at Portland, and I did not ee him, although I sent for him several tlmep. but I consider I got off cheap, and will forget It. All I desire is to be set right In the eyes of' the Portland public. OI.LIE MACK. FATHER O'HARA LECTURES Talks Before Knights of Columbus on "Contemporary Agnosticism." Father O'Hara spoke before the Study Club of the Knights of Colum bus last night on "Contemporary Ag nosticism and the Credentials of Christ." In the course of his remarks he said: One of the most ludicrous spectacles in the world of contemporary religious thought is the pompous pretension of the agnostic to be the one only man who can feel free to withhold assent until the truth of a doc trine is proved to him. He rails against authority as a source of truth, quite ob livious of the fact that authority is prac tically the sole source of truth In the great field of science .which is today com manding all the energies of a large part of the best schoolarship today. Historical science is today a science- which derives truth from authority. Authority Is a le gitimate source of truth in certain depart tuasts of knowledge. The only question Is Who hear And the Pianola- Read what she writes: Everyone who have a Pianola, of which there is no more sincere admirer than I" The Fianola enables any one to play the piano, and, with a few days' practice, to achieve what the average pianoforte player spends a lifetime to accomplish. The expression; the nature or character of the touch, from a soft, velvety legato to a blow so powerful that it was never exceeded by a Liszt or Eubinstein; the velocity of the passage-work; the most intricate pedal effects and sudden, abrupt intervals ; the staccatos in all their forms as applied from single notes to staccato chords; the glissando passages even in chromatics all these developed pianistic characteristics are pro duced by the Fianola with absolute exactness and infallible certitude. The genuine Pianola and Pianola Pianos may be purchased on extremely liberal terms of payment "The Eilers Way" and if you now have a "silent" piano which you would like to exchange for the more useful,, more modern Pianola Piano, we will allow generously for it. Or, in order to enable you to become fully famil iar with the splendid and wonderful possibilities of the Pianola, we will rent you one at a moderate charge, which amount may be applied later toward the purchase price, chould you buy. The genuine Pianola at $225, $250 and $300, and Pianola Pianos with Metrostyle and the marvelous Them odist, at $575 and upward, are sold throughout the Pacific Northwest and in Portland only by The House of Highest Quality 353 WASHINGTON STREET, CORNER OF PARK to determine the competent authority. This, the (Christian recognizes Just as readily as the agnostic. First comes the authority of the Gos pels. It may be said without fear of con tradiction that the Oospel records have emerged from 50 yeara of rigid historical criticism and sifting, generally recognized as historical documents of the first order. They bear witness to one who came into this world to give testimony to the truth, and their witness is unimpeachable. Christ Is proved with the Inexorable logic of fact to be the bearer of a divine message. His resurrection from- the dead is the most cer tain fact In all ancient history. It amounts to a demonstration of his divinity. The same conclusion is established with irre fragable certitude by a comparison of his claims and his character. Either he was God or he was not a good man. And no sane critic ever dared to suggest the latter al ternative. The agnostic proclaiming his scepticism In regard to God and tha destiny of the human soul In utter disregard of the cen tral fact In human history the life of Christ Is like a man bewailing his Inabil ity to see by the clear light of the noon day sun. None is so blind as he who does not wish to see. After the lecture a grerreral discus sion was taken up by the members concerning the action of the New York School Board In eliminating; Christmas Bong from school work and In revising; the textbooks omitting denominational references.
