If the Kstaiada br-iik had be n comi.e.d ed to meet the cTt i t'iciit es, which could legally have b-(-ii done, it would have been forced into iiHolveucy, according to the petitioners, ho that the institu tion would not only have been unable to nay in full for the certificates, but could not have paid its depositors. T!n petition shows that tin- railway com pany is willing to fulfill its part oflio agreement by turning over its deposit in the defunct Portland bank ami making u cash payment to balance the amount of the claim held against the Kstacada bank. . liy complying with Judge (ianteq- be in 's order, lit her Devlin will be r-dieved of a debt of more than $4'), 000 owed the railway company, and thn ffctacada bauk will be enabled to contiuue in business. 1 THE BABIES CRY FOR IT MUCH TAN BARK ,-, ( ; .
