join such organizations unless feder
al regulations are observed.
On the question of the existence of
a money trust, the report is specific
and detailed.
"It would, of course, be absurd,"
said the report, "to suggest that con
trol of the bulk of the widely distrib
uted wealth of a great nation can be
corralled by any set of men. If that
is what is meant by gentlemen who
deny the existence of a money trust,
your committee agrees with them. It
is not, however, necessary that a
group of men shall control directly
the small savings in the banks nor
the scattered resources of the coun
try in order to monopolize the great
financial transactions, or to be able
to dictate credits to be extended or
withheld from business enterprises.''
The great bank or banker "with
access to the mainsprings of the con
centrated resources of the other peo
ple's money," the report declares,
can handle the vast issues of securi-
ties now demanded by the commer- i
cial and industrial development of
the country, but the bank reserve sys
tem, it is further contended, concen
trates a large part of the funds of
the smaller banks in New York, where
a group of men have strengthened
their interest in the various banking
institutions.
"If, therefore, by a 'money trust' is
meant an established and well-defin-,
ed identity and community of inter
est between a few leaders of finance
which has been created and held to
gether by stock holdings, interlock
ing directorates and other forms of
domination over banks, trust compan
ies, railroads, public service and in
dustrial corporations and which has
resulted in a vast and growing con
centration of the control of money
and credit in the hands of a compara
tively few men, your committee has
no hesitation in asserting that the
condition thus described exists in this
country today," the report adds.

ORE MORE THAN FIFTY FEET DEEP
Five Veins are Cut by Tunnel and

ed partly in Marion County, and an
immense amount of development
work has been done. Discovered some
dozen years ago by the Pairclough
brothers, work has been prosecuted
on them ever since. While this was
necessarily slow, owing to the lack of
means, yet the brothers were persis
tent, and they have, from all appear
ances, won out. They drove one tun
nel about 700 feet, cutting- the ledge
at a depth of about 600 feet, and they
found the vein, of good size, strong
and evenly mineralized. The crop
pings were in porphyry formation,
and tb- surface ground below the out
crop all "panned" well. Near the
surface some remarkably rich speci
mens filled with free gold were found,
and in fact, this same character of
"specimen ore" is found at all depths,
though, of course, in small quantities.
After cutting the ledge in the first
tunnel another was started at Ogle
creen ai uie root of
the mountain.
nl was driven in 14fin foot
the leuge at about lon feet and at
a depth of about 1300 feet. In run-
ning this tunnel four blind ledges
were cut, all running parallel to the
main ledge, and probably will unite
with it at a greater depth. These
ledges were, taking them as encoun
tered, 1G leet, 4 feet, 9 feet and 5 feet,
respectively, and all showed ore and
values iudentical with the main ledge.
The latter, where cut on the lower
tunnel, is fully 50 feet thick, and is
in contact between the porphryry
and a liack diorite, a splendid miner
al bearing formation. The main body
of ore is low grade, running from 3
to $19 per ton, and samples taken at
random from the ore car, worked by
vcyanide test, above 7 per ton. The
ore has been undercut, that is a drift
has been run up the ledge quite a
distance, and there is ore enough in
sight tc keep the cyaniding plant,
which the company expects to install
this year, running for ten years from
the overhead stope now opened. This
plant, once in operation, should easily
produce $700 a day for years to come.
Not only this, but with the ledges
cut at this grat depth, showing their
permanency, the amount they may be
made to yield is only a question of
the sizs of the plant for handling the
pres. There is ore enough in sight,
or certain, to keep a plant handling

Tracks From Southern Pacific Cross-

At a hearing before the State Rail- j
road Commission Friday afternoon
at the court house, the Portland Rail-1
way, Light & Power Company reach- j
ed an agreement with Canemah on
the proposition of relinquishing the j
company's franchise in that town. !
Many of the citizens of the town i
strenuously objected to the removal
of the company's tracks south of the '
place where they cross the Southern
Pacific tracks, but the company main- j
tained that this portion of the track
was not profitable to operate and that '
the tracks up to the Southern Pacific !
i tracks would serve the people of the
town is well and that by not crossing
hthe Southern Pacific tracks much dan
ger would be averted.
At a recess during the hearing s
committee of Canemah residents and
officials of the company agreed upon
a compromise. In exchange for the
right to remove its tracks south of the
Southern Pacific tracks the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company
agrees to improve Second Street, one
block on Vjaih Street and to erect a
waiting room just north of the South
ern Pacific tracks and to place two
cluster lights between Oregon City
and Canemah.
The company agreed to improve
Second Street by grading it and plac
ing macadam upon it 8 inches deep and
30 feet wide. This improvement will
start at Main Street in Canemah. On
Main Street the company agrees to
place the macadam a width of 40
feet and 8 inches deep with screen
ings on top. It also agrees to put in
the necessary walks and curbing. The
cluster lights which are to be install
ed will be maintained by tne com

The bill which makes the county

ate and is up to the House.
The bill does away with the 3 per
cent rebate and also with the 10 per
cent penalty and 12 per cent interest
on taxes unpaid prior to the first Mon
day in April. In lieu of the rebate
and the penalty and interest it pro
vides for a cumulative penalty of 1
per cent for each calendar month or
part thereof that taxes remain unpaid
after the first day of April.
The privilege of paying one half of
the tax charged - against any real
property or the perosnal tax charged
against any individual prior to April
1 is retained. All taxes unpaid on the
first dav of September become delin
quent, and the same penalty and in
terest now provided by law for de
linquent taxes become applicable. The
sheriff is to be the collector of all de
linquent taxes under the new law.
House "bill 414 changes the date of
the meeting of County Boards of
Equalization to begin the second Mon
