DISSENSION IS APPARENT Hallway Construction May Increase Revenue 60,000 Acres Irri gated Receivership Hear ing to 1 Continued. Preliminary argrumrnts In the mat ter of application tor a receiver for the Deschutes Irrigation A Power Company were made before Federal Judge Bean yesterday. Jesse Stearns, secretary of the company, appeared as the attorney for the defense. His argument, which con sumed a greater portion of the hearing, embraced the status of the company for the Inst several years. From replies to affidavits filed by F. H. Sink, asking that a receiver be appointed. It seemed evident that there has been dissension among the concern's officers and stock holders. The total indebtedness of the company was brought to light In the arguments yesterday. It appears there is nearly $700.0 outstanding in claims against the Deschutes irrigation & Power Company. According to the contentions made, first mortgages aggregating J41J.0CO were is sued prior to an issue of J132.00O of col lateral trust bonds. Of these sums A. N. Dreschler. a director of the company from 1904 to IMS. advanced S30.000 to the company. Mr. Turney. also a former di rector, contributed t3S,O0O. In addition to these claims, there Is said to he in the neighborhood of J10O.00O' of unsecured claims embraced in the total Indebtedness of the company. It was shown that water had been conducted to nearly 60.000 acres, of which 4S.O0O acres had been sold. It was averred that the revenues of the company will gradually become larger upon the completion of proposed rail roads In the vicinity of the screage. with ' the ubasqns&t remit that th Indebted ness of the company will be liquidated without any stress upon the stockholders. The argument continued until the ad journment of the court late yesterday afternoon. It will be resumed this morn ing and will probably consume the great er portion of the day. Owing to the heavy interests involved, six attorneys appear, three for each side. Colonel C. E. S. Wood, U Q. Addison and F. H. Sink represent the complainant.. Jesse Steams. John H. Hall and W. T. Mulr appear for the defendant. Mr. Mulr ap pears for the Merchants Savings & Trust Company, which Is Involved by virtue of the mortgages and trust bonds Issued hy the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company.

OREGON TEAM IS PRAISED Arjutant-General Tells of Excellent Record Made at Camp Perry by " Marksmen From This State. After having two days to talk with his officers concerning the details of the in vestigation of the accounts of Colonel Charles E. McDonell, W. E. Flner, Adjutant-General of the Oregon National Guard, who has returned from the Na tional rifle shoot at Camp Perry Ohio, Is not inclined to talk much of the matter. General Flnxer stated that he had talked the matter over with his officers, but considered the investigation a closed in cident and did not care to discuss it.' "Colonel McDonell's verbal resignation to me has been withdrawn," said General Flnxer, "and as to whether I will allow the withdrawal, I must say that the mat ter of controlling the withdrawal of a verbal resignation would be out of my power. Had there been a written resig nation, it would ha-e been another mat ter. No further charges will be preferred against Colonel McDonell and I hardly expect the matter to come up further. "The accounts were all checked over while I was away and were found satis factory, so that should be the end of the affair. As to whether I am satisfied with the report of the board of officers, I do not care to be quoted, but will say that the report was their own business and I have no control over it, as It is a civil arrangement. I have had no report from Colonel Jackson oh Colonel McDonell since my return." When the matter of the recent shoot by the Oregon National Guard team t Camp Perry was broached. General Finzer be came much more communicative and gladly told of the achievements of" the Oregon marksmen. He said: "I want you to notice that Oregon made 12th place out of 48 teams entered, and out of 48 teams representing various Na tional Guard organizations. This is an advance of one place over last year's position, when the Oregon team made 13th place In the list, and thus our boys kept up their record of advancing a notch or more every year. When they entered in '05 they secured 22d place, the next year were 21st in the list, in 07 moved up to 17th place, and last year to 13th. The record this year I consider fine under the adverse conditions for practice here. "Oregon's total score of S885 out of a possible 4200 Is exceptionally good and is about 600 points better than the score of last year. In fact, all the teams Bhot much better than they did last year. Oregon's skirmish score was very good. Before that the team was in 22d place, but the grand rally In this, the final event, pulled the team up ten places and saved its record. The slump In the 200 yard range was what cost msst arid held the team low until the skirmish score was made. "The match next year will be held In all probability in Seagirt, N. J., as this is really the only available range of suf ficient size outside of the Camp Perry range. A suitable range is being built In Wisconsin, but this cannot be finished until year after next, when the shoot will probably be held here." For trunks go to the Harris Trunk Co. SAND LAW IS OPPOSED CITY ENGINEER MORRIS TO ASK AMENDMENT. Mayor Would Eliminate "Columbia River" From Ordinance to Kill Old-Time Trust. Backed hy Mayor Simon, City Engineer Morris will this morning ask the City Council to amend the ordinance, which has for 10 years given the local sand trust magnates a monopoly of the Port land market, with the Idea In view of throwing open the field to all competitors. The words "Columbia River sand" In the city law are objected to by the ad ministration, which desires to elimlnato them, that every brand of good sand may be used in city work. The efforts of Mayor Simon and City Engineer Morris to have the ordinance amended follow close upon their discovery of vast beds of pure, clean sand, which is said to stand a better test than that dredged from the Columbia River, and which is found all over the Peninsula In FRANK L.

By special arrangement with MelvUle Clark Piano Co., Chicago, their "Apollo" representative, Mr. A, C. Edwards, wilt play and demonstrate the latest "SOLO' APOLIX) PLAYER PIAXO (Just received). This instrument enables one to play the melody in proper relation to the accompaniment, and for the first time challenges detection from manual playing. Among some of the numbers to be played are: Alice Romance, transcription Ascher El Dorado. Polka de Concert Bartlett Elaine, Grand Valse de Concert Hoist Pei.it Polka de Concert Krouse Valse Caprice Newland Our object Is to overcome any prejudice Incurred from hearing player pianos that "bump away" under the hammers, ,which is impossible in the Apollo, be cause the Apollo actually Operates a downward stroke on the keys (exclusive Apollo patent) as the musician aoes thereby giving the human touch. We will forfeit $1000 If the Apollo cannot therefore play softer and faster than any other player piano on the market; If It cannot play more musical selections than all other players combined; rewind the roll with out the necessity of pumping; play a selection In nine different keys, etc, etc. Of course, you cannot expect any other .dealer to tell you the Apollo is so far superior, but INVESTI GATE, and then depend on YOUR OWN JUDGMENT. Don't depend on what any salesman tells you all of them, including cur own, must be prejudiced, be cause they have to mako a living by Influencing you their way. Listen and then reason for yourself. You'll want an Apollo because its features are the best from self-evidence! After the first few pieces Mr. Edwards will expose the mechanism in order to show more fully the beauty and delicacy of tone and action. Grasp this opportunity and be present. Admission free.
