OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1907 GREAT FLEET ON THE OCEAN PRIDE OF THE AMERICAN NAVY LEAVES VIRGINIA FOR PACIFIC COAST. BIG SHIPS ARE REVIEWED "President Roosevelt Bids Farewell to Largest and Finest Vessels That Ever Sailed Under the Stars and Stripes. Sixteen great American battleships started away from Old Point Comfort, Va., Monday under the sun of a cloudless Winter sky, on their fa mous expedition of 14,000 miles to the west coast of the United States. President Roosevelt, on the Mayflow er, led the four-mile line of fighting vessels during the first stage of the voyage. From the anchorage grounds in Hampton Roads to the- Horseshoe Bend of Chesapeake Bay, his flag pointed the way to the fleet's new home at the Golden Gate. Then he turned aside, and, coming to anchor, reviewed the pageant. The glistening of spotless hulls, the curl of foam-crested bow waves, the cheering of sailors afloat and friends ashore, the breez-blown strains of "Auld Lang Syne," floating across the waters, the blare of trumpets, the flash of signals and the boom of salut ing cannons marked the departure of the fleet, presenting to the people who watched it a spectacle they will never forget and to the world at large the realty of the trimmest, most ho mogeneous, most thoroughly equipped, most mobile and self-reliant assem blage of first-class battleships ever gathered in one command. The sailing of the fleet was preced ed by a reception on the deck of the Mayflower, which shortly after 8 o'clock Monday morning steamed In to the center of the anchored fleet. The President warmly greeted the four Rear-Admirals and the 16 com manding officers of the fleet as they climbed from dancing launches up the starboard gangway of the yacht. He had a word of confidence and well wishing for all, but made no formal address. The President felt that the occasion did not call for any such re marks, as the cruise is regarded but as a detail of a naval training. The Inspiring sight of the vessels gaily dressed atnchor and waiting the word to go, put the President in rare good spirits. While the May flower was coming into position and waiting for the reception to begin, the President paced rapidly up and down the deck, anxious to obtain a view of the great doubles quadron from every possible vantage point. To Secretary of the Navy Metcalf and to others of his guests on board he was constantly exclaiming upon the beau ty and grandeur of the surrounding SCCT1G8, i When Admiral Evans was about to take his leave and get the fleet under way, the President followed him to the 'gangway and then called him aside for nearly five minutes in ear nest conversation. The President spoke with his usual emphasis, and the Admiral lisened Intently with a constant affirmative nod of his head. During the reception the President was photographed with, the officers grounped about him. A marine guard and band was stationed on the May-flower's decks and the ceremonies of receiving and sending away the visit ing officers gave a martial touch of color to the occasion. The batleship fleet, with its com manding officers, is as follows: Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans. First Squadron, First Division.

Judge Gantenbein, of the State Cir cuit CoHft, issued an order Monday directing Thomas C. Devlin, as re ceiver of the Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bank, to deliver to the Esta- cada State Bank two certificates of deposit aggregating $41,256, on con dition that the Pacific & Eastern Rail way Company will cancel the claim it holds against the the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank for the deposit of $40,r 423.31 and will make a cash payment of $827.63 to the Portland bank. This was done to save the Estacada State Bank from being forced into insolv ency. According to the statement of the Estacada State Bank, in the petlton of Louis J. Wilde against the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, filed yester day, the two certificates of deposit In the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, for $20,625 each, were issued May 20, 1907, by the Estacadai nstitution up on the request of the Pacific & East ern Railway Company, and of the de funct Portland bank. No return con sideration whatever was given the Estacada bank, the understanding among the three parties being that the certificates were to be paid by the railway company. At the time of the failure of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank they were still out standing. The Pacific & Eastern Railway Company was organized to construct a railroad from Joe Bar, Jackson County, to a point near Crater Lake, It had on deposit with the Oregon Trust Bank at the time of the bank failure $40,422.31. If the Estacada bank had been compelled to meet the certificates, which could legally have been done, It would have been forced into insolvency, according to the pe titioners, so that the institution would not only have been unable to pay in full for the certificates, but could not have paid Us depositors. The peti tion shows that the railway company is willing to fulfill its part of the agreement by turning over its deposit in the defunct Portland bank and mak ing a cash payment to balance the amount of the claim held against the Estacada bank. By complying with Judge Ganten bein's order, Receiver Devlin will be relieved of a debt of more than $40, 000, owed the railway company, and the Estacada bank will be enabled to continue in business.
