THE MORMXG OREGOMAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1907. E'S POLICY ATHWART FULTON Political Wiseacres Declare Senators Cannot Agree Much Longer. . V CONFLICT ON TWO POINTS Junior Senator Strong for Statement No. 1 and Roosevelt-Situation of Advantage to the Can didacy of Mulkey. Survey of Republican politics in Oregon shows several matters of interest, among them the following: Senator Bourne desires to leave Oregon's delegation to the National Republican coni vention next June. He intends coming to Oregon in October, evidently to pave a way toward con summation of that desire. He proposes to rally support through out the state on the issua of third term for Roosevelt. Candidates for United States Senator to succeed C. W. Fulton are each hoping to win his favor in their .contest for the party nomination for that office in the primaries. April 17. Although Bourne has said Fulton would serve Oregon in the Senate better than any other candidate, there is serious doubt that Bourne will jog along the same road with the Clatsop man. when the latter is not defending "Statement No. 1" and "Second elective term" for Roosevelt. Certain of Bourne's friends say there is a gap between him and Fulton, which both have desired to bridge over but that circumstances seem to make it more diffi cult to keep the gap from spreading wider. An one of them said yesterday: "If Ful ton is not a champion of Statement 1 and re-election of Roosevelt, then Bourne is not for Fulton." - - Multnomah County's vote power in the next primaries is threatened with scatter i lng among several candidates for Sena toramong them being F. V. Mulkey. H. M. Cake and Dr. H. W. Coe. This will make outside candidates stronger and will help Fulton. It may bring into the contest other out side candidates, most conspicuously T. T. : Geer, of Pendleton, whose large following throughout the State and in Multnomah was attested last year in his primary vote for nomination for Governor. Geer takes less to statement 1 even than Fulton, but their two candidacies might not split the anti-Statement-1 vote like that of the other side, which would be divided between Mulkey, Cake and Coe and possibly W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City. Mulkey being the only avowed Statement-! candidate, many persons believe he is destined to receive Bourne's support. If for no other reason than that Bourne could support neither Fulton nor Geer. Wants Roosevelt Delegation. Frequent speculations along these lines are filling the thoughts and mouths of : poltical gossip. Chief interest is Bourne's evident determination to take a delega . tion to the National Convention pledged to Roosevelt. His ardent advocacy of "second elective term" leaves a fair in ference that he will use his full Influence to have a Roosevelt delegation aent from Oregon. , This undoubtedly would magnify Bourne's prestige in Washington and at home. - It would be viewed . in Washington as quite the proper outcome of Bourne's persistent boom ing of Roosevelt for another term. There are frequent predictions, however, that this will not be accomplished w-holly without opposition, since Taft 'and Hughes have numerous admirers in this state, who, while not all opposed to Roosevelt, regard Roosevelt's declination as final. Mr. Bourne has Informed friends in Portland In letters that he aims to arrive in Oregon probably early in October. He pays frankly that he desires to attend the National Convention as a delegate from Oregon, and gives out the Intimation that he would like to head the Oregon delega tion. He announces -that his first reason for seeking a place in the delegation is to work for Roosevelt. Bourne will have two months in Ore gon, prior to the meeting of Congress in December, if he shall choose to stay that long. He has been absent from Oregon 13 months. During his stay here it is natural to infer that he will use his in fluence toward framing up a Roosevelt state convention that will choose the four National delegates. The state convention will probably meet next May, after primaries on April 17. Whether the delegates to the state con vention will be chosen by county con ventions or be selected at the primaries is a matter yet to be determined. The apportionment of delegates among the counties will be made by the state central committee, of which G. A. Westgate, of .Albany, is chairman. It is also yet to be . decided by that body whether' those primaries will be held on the same day : as the regular primaries for nomination of state candidates, or before or after that day. . Some authorities believe that the state convention should be held prior to the regular primaries, in order that the party may frame a platform for all Republican candidates for nomination to stand on, this for the purpose of party- unity. Others, however, think the state conven tion should be held after the regular primaries, in order that there may be no convention Interference in the primaries. The primaries for selection of delegates to the state convention (or of delegates to county conventions, which in turn shall choose the delegates to the state conven tion) will be held independently of the direct primary law. Regular primaries, under the primary law, will be held as usual. Bourne to Be Drawn Into Fight". It does not appear that Senator Bourne has picked his favorite trom the candi dates for the seat of Senator Fulton. That Is a job which Bourne naturally would like to shunt, since he, himself, will not come up for re-elertion until four years thereafter. But he has taken such a positive stand for Statement No. 1 and for disregard of Roosevelt's refusal, that many, persons expect to see him drawn Into combat with those who oppose him In those two respects. Fulton's refusal to run as a Statement No.'.l candidate has raised the 'question whether he and Bourne will not be forced apart. And the probability that supporters Oi Statement No. 1 doctrine will demand Bourne's aid against their rivals furnishes another In terestlng subject of speculation. All this has given rise to rumors that Bourne prefers Mulkey for Senator. The reports are denied by Bourne's confiden tial friends, who say that Bourne has not gone so far as to ally himself with any candidate. But on the Mulkey side Bourne's support of Mulkey Is regarded as Inevitable. Mulkey and Fulton are engaged In an active campaign. Both have visited Klam ath and Tillamook. Mulkey is now in the Coos country and Fulton planned to BQUHN visit the same district shortly. Fulton has paid his respects to Eastern Oregon and Mulkey has that slated next on his itinerary. The Mulkey boomers think their man could have made a winning fight for the long term against Bourne last year, had not his promise oeen given to stay out and content himself with the short term. Mulkey plans to make a Statement No. 1 campaign, much the same way as Bourne did, by means of circular letters addressed to the voters. The first letter has been drafted and will soon be sent forth. Much will depend on whether Multno mah's vote shall be split up. This is watched with Interest in, other parts of the state and will influence other candi dacies. If Multnomah's uig vote shall be scattered, there will be better chances for outside candidates. It Is universally agreed that the more candidates there shall be, the better for Fulton, since the oppos..ion to him will be divided and his own support will have relatively greater strength. Such was the fortune of Bourne last year, the opposition being scattered among his rivals. One Multnomah candidate would not make so favorable a situation for Fulton as several. And the booms of H. M. Cake and Dr. Coe offer promise that there will be several. The candidacy of T. T. Geer would probably spread out the Multnomah vote still more, on ac count of the considerable following pos sessed by that aspirant in this county. All this has bearing on the expected visit of Bourne to the extent that it brings up questions of .low far Bourne will be involved, during that visit. In the STATEMENTS OF PORTLAND NATIONAL BANKS SHOW STEADY GAIN OF STRENGTH Statements issued by Portland National banks in response to a call from the Controller t the Currency on August 22 show that these institutions have been steadily gaining strength during the past year. Never before have they made such a satisfactory showing as in the latest statement. The figures demonstrate the strength of the local financial Institutions and thereby reflept the general prosperity of the whole Pacific Northwest, for which i the Port land banks are largely depositories. These latest figures of the Portland blanks, satisfactory as they are. will be far more significant when the .present year's crops are 'gathered. With large yields in fruits and grains and prices high, millions of dollars will pour into the Portland banks for safe keeping after the harvest Is over. The figures in the accompanying table are thoroughly reliable, for they are sworn 'to by the officials of the-, National banks and are given in response to the call of the Controller of the Currency. A comparison with the latest statement, that of August 23, is shown in the accompanying table with the figures submitted September 4, 1906, which is the nearest corresponding date for which figures are available: First National.

WILL TRANSFER PROPERTY Total Sum to Be Realized From Sac rifices About $400,000 Lytic and Friede Give Nothing Re ceiver's Work Progresses. President Walter H. Moore and Cashier W. Copper Morris have come valiantly to the rescue of depositors in' the ill-fated Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bank .and have pledged their pri vate fortunes ' unreservedly . for the benefit of creditors. Cashier Morris said last night he has given instruc tions to his lawyers to transfer his property to Receiver Devlin, as trustee, with Instructions to use it In paying off claims against the bank, "I have ordered my attorneys to pro ceed with listing my property prepa ratory to making trust deeds to Re ceiver Devlin,' declared Mr. Morris last night. "I shall turn my property in with the other assets of the bank and it will be used to pay the creditors. I meant what I said in this matter and shall 'make good." I do not know what can be realized on what I own but I think somewhere between $25,000 and $40,000 is the figure. I own stocks and other property which it Is hard to estimate accurately as to valua. When my holdings are listed, trust deeds to Receiver Pevlin will be executed. "I feel more confident of the ability of the bank to pay out after spending today looking over the assets than when I first returned. I am beginning to feel myself again and am confident that none of the depositors will lose anything. Things appear to be In very good shape." Total Is Large Sum. . President Moore will turn over ware house property at Montgomery and Water streets which he owns to the de pqsltors, in addition to the big tracts of wheat land in Eastern Oregon. The South Portland property was purchased by President Moore a short time ago and is estimated to be' worth '$50,000. This, In addition to the Eastern Oregon wheat lands, makes the total value of tlie property Mr. Moore will turn over to Receiver Devlin for the benefit of the stockholders about $350,000. Cash ier Morris' holdings will bring this to tal up to nearly $400,000. The sacrifices made by these two men are not small ones and the most favor able comment upon their acts was heard about the city yesterday. Everybody. spoke in the highest terms of these two men. Confidence in their Integrity was everywhere expressed and many made the statement that if they engage in the .banking business in Portland at any future time, they will be intrusted with whatever money the speakers have to bank. Directors Lytle or Friede have not promised anything of their own toward helping the bank pay out. Neither seems to regard himself as under any personal obligations to depositors in the defunct bank. Mr. Friede said last night he had not yet made up his mind te follow the lead of his fellow officials and it is not expected that either he or Mr. Lytle will help. Receiver Devlin said last night that he hopes to have a report on the condition of the bank ready for the court by next Monday. Then the . approximate amount that the bank will be able to pay will be made known. Hopes are entertained for a full payment of all obligations, but It cannot be known until Receiver Devlin Is heard from Just what grounds there are for these hopes. Good Outlook for Settlement. The work of listing and estimating the value of securities among the bank's as sets is going steadily' ahead. President Moore and Cashier Morris are giving their services to the receiver and are of great assistance to him, knowing as they do the details of the business. Mr. Moore says things are looking very bright, and he has the highest hopes of meeting every obligation the bank owes. "Things never looked brighter than they do now," he said last night. "I am con fident that affairs will be straightened out all right within a short time." The executive committee of the depos itors' association will have a conference with President Moore this morning, with the purpose of learning what, progress Is being made. In straightening out the bank's .affairs. A report will be made at the next meeting of the depositors, which is expected to be held Sunday afternoon in the Council chamber at the City Hall. CONFIDENCE IN MOORE BROS. Ex-Residents of Sherman County Express Faith In Bankers. PORTLAND, Aug. 28. (To the Edi tor.) We. the undersigned, former resi dents of Sherman County and depositors in the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, feel it to' be- our duty, and deem it a pleasure as well, to come forwar- at this time and say a few. words on behalf of W. H. Moore, president of the Institution, and. of H. A. Moore, who was a director thereof. The president has been subjected to some harsh criticism In connection with the unfortunate bank failure, and it is not our purpose to take issue with his critics, for whom no. doubt there may be some justification; but we de sire to express the opinion publicly that when a man is honest at heart and evinces the utmost anxiety to deal fairly arid honestly by those who may be likely to suffer financial loss through, his seeming negligence, under such cir cumstances there ought to be a corre sponding disposition on the part of the depositors and of the public gen erally to encourage him, instead of hounding him with threats of criminal prosecution and . t-nkruptcy proceedings- . .., We have known W. H. Moore and nia brother, H. A. Moore, for many years; we have banked with them in Sherman County; we have had extensive busi ness relations with them, and. during, all those years our observation of their business methods has conclusively sat-, isfled us that they are honest men, upright and conscientious in every re spect. We know President Moore to be imbued with a high sense of honor and fully alive to the. moral obligations which the present unfortunate situa tion has thrust ifpon him. Knowing the man as we do,: and having unbounded confidence in his willingness and abil ity to put torth every effort, even to the extent of making personal sacri fices for the protection of depositors, and to prevent financial loss from ac cruing to any of those who, upon the strength of their confidence In him, deposited their funds in the keeping of his bank, we have no hesitancy in saying that we feel no cause for un easiness about our deposits. We believe that under a careful and prudent administration of its affairs the bank will pay its depositors in full. But if the public mind is . in flamed and unwise counsels prevail, as a result of threats of criminal prose cution and bankruptcy proceedings, the Interests of the depositors will un doubtedly be jeopardized. By all means we respectfully urge that patience and moderation be exhibited by all until the true condition of affairs be made known; and that the receiver and Pres ident Moore be afforded a full and fair opportunity to relieve the unfortunate situation as far as possible. We reiterate our confidence, not only in Mr.' Moore's honesty but in his anx iety and determination to do every thing in his power for the protection of the' depositors. R. J. Glnn, S. S. Hayes, J.

FIRST STREET LOOKING UP Good Demand for Property and the' Prices Continually Advance. Improvements that have- been progress ing on First street and others that are planned have resulted in increased damand for property on that thorough fare, an indication of which is shown in the sale of the Coeur d'Alene building yesterday. This building was owned by F. H. Rothchild and H. S. Herman and has been purchased by J. M. Watts. The price was $40,000, and the sale was made by C. K. Henry & Son. This building is a four-story brick and stone structure at First and Clay streets, with 50 feet frontage on First, and 100 feet on Clay. It was erected several years ago by H. W. Monnastes. It is paying a good revenue and was purchased by Mr. Watts as an investment. During the past year there has been more activity in First street realty than had been shown for probably five years before. The property-owners have been remodeling their buildings and the street is soon to be given a new hard-surface pavement. Prices have not only held their own but have been making frequent advances. It Is recognized that the new Portland Salem electric line will be of great benefit to this portion of the city. This road , is now nearlng .completion, and when cars are put in operation it is sure to stimu late the -retail trade along this street. Mr.- Henry and Rufus Mallory are now erecting a new building adjoining the depot of this road, which will be one of the best improvements recently made on this street. Kalis From Wharf and Drowns. RAYMOND, Aug. 28. (Special.) Earl D. Douglas, who was employed as a car penter on the dock at Creek Brothers' new mill, fell into the river yesterday morning and drowned before assistance could be rendered him. Douglas, with a fellow workman, was capping piles for a new dock when the staging upon which he was standing gave way. Although he was a good swimmer and was within five feet of a pile when he arose to the sur face, he appeared helpless and after one dlspalrlng cry for help sank. Earl Douglas was 20 years of age and had been married only a few months. . He came to Raymond from Gray's Harbor and made a wide circle of friends here. He was a native of Wisconsin, in which state his widowed mother resides. The body will be shipped East tomorrow. Thinks Tramps Caused Wreck. OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 28. (Special.) Inspector A.- W.

"I arrived in San Francisco." said Mr. Fraser, "in September, 1859, the day on which United States Senator Broderick was killed in a duel by Judge Terry. The city then contained 60,000 people; a the time of the earthquake it had a popula tion of 470.000." Mr.- Fraser holds clearly In mind many incidents that occurred in the development of San Francisco. He saw the News Letter, a newspaper which supported the Confederacy, attacked by loyal Union sympathizers and the type thrown into the streets. He recalls Rev. Starr King, who raised $1,000,000 for sanitary purposes in the war. He was active In politics at the time of the rise of the famous Sand Lot party under Denis Kearney and he was elected Supervisor on the Republican ticket at the same election at which Kal loch, Kearney's candidate, was elected Mayor. During the political campaign preceding election, Kalloch was shot by a newspaper man named De Young, and this so won the sympathy of the people for the wounded man that they elected him Mayor. It was during Kailoch's term of office that Mr. Fraser was Mayor pro tern. Mr. Fraser is one of the most prominent members of the Order of Scottish Clans in America, and Is the founder of the organization on the Coast. Fourteen years ago he founded the Clan Fraser at San -Francisco, and the order has flourished ever since. Mr. Fraser is the proud possessor of a handsome gold watch and enameled quartz chain which were presented to him by members of the order In token of their appreciation. Hugh Fraser was born in Inverness, Scotland, in 1833. and is still hale and hearty. He celebrated his golden wedding at San Francisco five years ago. Mr. Fraser will remain in Portland for sev eral days, after which he will return to California- WOULD GIVE MORE POWER Milk Inspector Proposed "With Au thority to Inspect Dairies. Co-operation of the State Health Board and State Food and Dairy Com missioner Bailey will be sought by Councilman Cottel in his plan to have a milk inspector appointed for Port land. It is realized by Cottel that the services of such an Inspector would not be of great value unless he should have the power to Inspect dairies from which Portland's milk supply comes. Such power could not be delegated by the Council, which has no Jurisdiction out side the city, and some other scheme must be worked out. "My plans are not altogether worked out," said Cottel yesterday in discuss ing the appointment of a milk inspec tor. "Such, an official could riot accom plish a great deal if he was routined to an inspection of the milk that Is sold here.
