Committeeships the Oregon Delega tion Most Desires. OREGONIAN NEWS BURE1AU, Wash ington, Nov. 5. Speaker Cannon will ct announce the list of House com mittees until after tha convening of the regular session in December, and in all probability the vacancies on Senate com mittees -will not bo filled much before the close of the special session. In both houses Oregon Is working for two committees, those that handle the r4er and harbor bills and those that handle legislation pertaining to exposi tions. Unfortunately, both Congressmen are seeking the river and harbor com mittee, and are facing a very hard fight being put up by Jones, of Washington, -who la tha solo aspirant from his own state, and has the support of the Washing ton and most of the California delegation. In the Senate, Senator Mitchell looks to the commerce committee, but here he meets with Foster, of Washington, wno aspires to the place on account of priori ty of service, and who Is even endeavor ing to secure the support of the Oregon delegation on the promise to work as faithfully for Oregon as for Washington improvements. Oregon will be fortunate to get representation on one of tho two committees handling the river and harbor bill. It can hardly secure such recogni tion in both Senate ana House. There will bo two Republican vacancies on the Expositions committees of both Senate and House, which should mako it comparatively easy for the state, in view of its approaching exposition, to secure representation on those committees. Theso assignments, if they can be had. wIU prove of inestimable value to Oregon in Its effort to secure a liberal appropria tion for the exposition. Recognizing this fact, tho delegation is redoubling its ef forts to secure such assignments. STOCK SLUMP CLOSES BANK. Cripple Creek Concern Believes Will Pay Out, if Given Time. It CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Nov. 5. The Bimetallic Bank, or Cripple Creek, failed to open today. A notice on the door an nounced "Bank closed. Statement later." The Bimetallic Bank is a state bank, established by David H. Moffatt in 1891. and sold by him in 1S01 to James P. Had ley and others. It is capitalized at $100, 000, and its deposits aggregate about $220, 000. The officers are: President. James F. Hadley; -vice-president, Bruno Hobbs; cashier, E. P. Arthur. City Treasurer A. G. Jones, assistant cashier of the bank, said: "The cause of the failure to open our doors is the heavy decline in mining stocks and real estate. I believe wo will be able to pay dollar Xor dollar, but we must have time." In consequence of tha closing of tho Bi metallic Bank, a run was started on the Colorado Banking & Trust Company, an allied institution. Hundreds were In line at the company's office, seeking to draw out deposits. "The company Is In good condition," said James F. Hadley, who Is president of the Trust Company and the bank, "and will not be affected by the closing of the bank. "Wo have only about $50,000 on deposit subject to withdrawal." The directors of the Bimetallic Bank this afternoon made an assignment to T. P. Arthur, the cashier. It Is believed that the bank will liquidate and go out of business. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash 2ngfn, Nov. 5. Congrossman Hermann Is making evory possible effort to secure the v-ancj on the rlvor and harbor com mittee caused by the death of Represent ative Tongue. Oregon, with its vast waterways, many Representatives ad mit, is entitled to this place. Like Senator Mitchell, Hermann is read tw oppose any policy of economy fiat contemplates the prevention of tho passage of a river and harbor bill at the coming session. He said: "There Is a crying need for more money fr the improvement of rivers and har lors in Oregon. Failure to pass a bill wrald prove disastrous to large amounts cZ capital that have been Invested on the t&rious waterways In anticipation of their early Improvement. Four projects, tafflt,, the Columbia and Willamette R!ers, from Portland to the sea; Tilla mook Bay, Coos Bay nnd the Sluslaw, should be made continuing contracts to insure annual appropriations. I will also cndeaior to secure a further appropria L.;n fcr Yaqulna Bay." Speaking of the Lewis and Clark Ex position, Mr. Hermann says an early meeting should be called of all Senators and Representatives from the Pacific Coast and lntermountaln states to enlist their personal interest and united efforts in behalf of the bills that are to be Introduced, appropriating $2,125,000 for the Exposition. If the delegations act as a unit, he believes they can succeed In rassing the bill, but the Orogon dclega ton, acting alone, cannot succeed. He f-vcrs urging a special bill in behalf of the Exposition. But if this bill does not pass early in the session, he believes efforts should also be made to incorporate the special bill in one of the regular ap jrrcrrlation hills to Insure doubly its chant c of beoomlng law. Touching upon forest reserves, Mr. Hermann said Oregon was incumbered with withdrawals, and that the lands should be restored to entry at once. It was on the Rogue River reserve that he wormed up. "If Mr. Langille says one half the people of Southwestern Oregon favor the creation of a forest reserve in the Roguo River country, he falsifies," said Mr Hermann. He was answering a statement recently made by H. D. Langille. of the Bureau of Forestry, who examined the Rogue River withdrawal during the past Summer, and is prepar ing to recommend tho creation of a re serve in Southwestern Oregon. Mr. Hermann says sentiment is over whelmingly against this reserve; that there is no necessity for such a reserve, and Its creation would be utterly unjust ifiable. Ho insists the people should not only be heard, but their demands heeded. If necessary, ho believes Congressional action should be had. In fact, he goes co far as to declare that hereafter no new reserves should be created except by net of Congress. "Who should know more about condi tions In Southwestern Oregon, Mr. Lang ille, who was there only a few days, or myself, tho Senators and tho hosts of honorable citizens who have lived in that region for 40 years or more?" he asks. "Tho plastering of the stato with exten ts e withdrawals is detrimental to the Ur copment of the state, and is .turning cway many men who seek homes, but ci.r-.not find them. In my opinion, there T Ls .been an abuse of the privileges be stowed on the Interior Department, and t:-o state is the sufferer." Mr Hermann attributes the excesses to the influence exerted by tho "narrow minded theorists" who look only on one t.de of the question. VICTOR BANK WILL PAY UP. Mines In Which It Is Interested Will Not Have to Close. "VICTOR, Colo., Nov. 5. Frank M. Woods, general manager of the Woods In vestment Company, has made the follow ing explanation of tho closing of the Vic tor National Bank, of this city, of which he Is president: "The strike resulted in withdrawals from the bank, chiefly by men who were leaving the district, and our reserve was depleted until T. P. Kane, Deputy Con troller of the Currency, ordered the bank closed b Bank Examiner J. B. Lazear, who is In charge. The Woods Investment Company is behind the First National, and depositors will be paid in full, and the mining properties in which the Woods Investment Company Is interested will continue operations as heretofore." Pueblo Branch Fails to Open. PUEBLO, Colo., Nov. 5. As a conse quence of the failure yesterday of the First National Bank of Victor, Colo., the Pueblo Title & Trust Company, capital $250,000, did not open for business today. The trust company Is controlled by the Woods Investment Company, which also owned tne victor institution. An assignment has been made by the Pueblo Title & Trust Company to E. P. Shove, of Colorado Springs. The bank did not open today, the managers being in fear of a run. Mr. Shove, after examining the condi tion of the assets, stated today that the Title & Trust Company is perfectly sol vent, and can pay all demands within 30 days. The bank deposits are about $230, 000, including the accounts of a large number of workingmen. The assets are stated to be about $450,000. UNABLE TO AVERT STRIKE. . Colorado State Officials Find the Min ers Are Determined. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 5.-Governor Pea body and Commissioner of Labor Mont gomery have practically given up hope of being able to avert a general strike of coal miners In District 15. which Includes Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyo ming. Mr. Montgomery, speaking of the situation, said: x "I don't know what we are going to do. If the miners persist in calling a strike unless a conference Is arranged by No vember 9, then I am afraid there will be a strike. We have tried in every way to bring about a conferenca and have failed." It Is understood the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company and the Victor Fuel Company, which employ the greater por tion of the men who will be affected by a strike; have unequivocally refused to treat with any persons except their own employes direct. Notices have been posted at several of tho mines ordering the men to quit work on November 9. They are signed by John Mitchell, National president. NOTICE GIVEN BY MITCHELL.
