Portland and Walla Walla Paid Vis its by Clever Operators Four Gar den City Saloonkeepers Fall for Bad Checks Harvest Time Brings Crooks In. Bad check artists are again abroad in the land and Pendleton merchants and business men in general will do well to exercise more than the usual amount of care in cashing paper for sit angers. Walla Wana ana Port land have both been experiencing an epidemic of bogus check operations and it is not likely that Pendleton will escape much longer. The harvest season is one time when the bad check men seem to get busy in eastern Oregon and the fact that no checks have been passed Pen dleton before this is probaoly due largely to the vigilance of th ; city and . C3i'nty officers. I As a result of the recent visit of the worthless check man's visit to Walla Walla, four Garden City saloon proprietors are minus something like $30 each. About 11 o'clock Wednesday night two men claiming to be Just from the harvest field, made a tour of the sa loons together presenting checks drawn on the Third Xational bank, and bearing the signature of J. W. Haidwin. Not only did they bear this signature, but on each check was a rubber stamp adding what seemed to b'! official dignity. It was claimed j that Baldwin is a rancher In the Mil ton neighborhood, and that the- rherka were drawn in payment of harvest wages, which sounded very plausible. The houses which fell victim were the Idle Hour, the Oaks and those of John Bachtold and Gholson & Bish- ! op. It Is thought that the men left Walla Walla on the 11:30 train imme dately after securng the cash, and as the chaiacter of the checks was not learned until banking hours yester day. It Is probable that they made thsir get-away. Warrants are out for thtlr arrest, however, and it is not j cons oered likely they can escape far ong Fish Pack Decreases. Astoria, Or., Aug. 4. Private ad vices received by the Alaska fisher men's packing company from the manager of Its plants at Nuahugak and Kogglng rivers say that the total ' pack of salmon on Bristol Bay, Alas ka, will be about 800,000 cases or nearly 50 per cent less than last sea son, when the pack was 1.500.005 cases.
