INVESTIGATION IS ASKED
DISTKICT ATTORNEY TO PROBE
OREGON TRUST BANK. I
Will Act on Demand Filed by Louis
J. Wilde, Promoter of Merger
With German-American.
Louis J. Wide declared last night that
he would insist upon a thorough investi
gation of the affairs of the Oregon Trust
& Savings Bank before the German
American Bank Is merged with It. Dis
trict Attorney Manning will be asked
to begin probing the management of the
closed bank next Monday morning. How
long this investigation will take is not
known, but the District Attorney will be
given his time to gather all possible facts
in connection with the institution. If
there is anything suspicious about the
former management, or anything that
warrants prosecution, the reorganizers
want it known before the new bank takes
charge, for after that time no digging
into the past history of the institution
will be encouraged.
"We do not wish the German-American
Bank to get tangled up in any investiga
tion that concerns the Oregon Trust
only," said Mr. Wilde. "Before we open
for business under the merger, these
matters must be cleared up. District At
torney Manning will go In Monday morn
ing. Meanwhile we will await his pleas
ure and after he is through, we will
move in. This will show that we have
never desired to forestall any investiga
tion Into the conduct of the wrecked
bank.
"The merger plan is not in the interest
of any individual, but for the good of the
city at large, and for the 15,000 deposit
ors in the bank, who will otherwise suf
fer loss. These people should get their
money. The reorganizers are acting for
the benefit of depositors who see In the
merger the only way of getting their
money."
President Reed and Receiver Devlin
were busy yesterday in preparing the or
der for the court to sign granting the
Oregon Trust the authority to turn over
Its assets to the German-American Bank
for liquidation. This order will be pre
sented to the court today and is expected
to be acted oh not later than next Mon
day. The hearing on the petition for the
merger will be held before Judge Gan
tenbein this afternoon In the Circuit
Court.
Very Latest Notion for
Health Faddists.
Chew the Witter Yon Drink, Then
Live Forever, Advlee of Young:
Phynlt'lnn Who Would Save Friend.
GOOD health cranks are always with
us and there be those who are led
away by every kind of freak cure from
walking six miles before breakfast to living-
on acorns or parched corn. But the
very latest "health hint" was dropped by
a guest at a leading hotel last night.
"You should chew the water you drink, '.
declared this amateur doctor to his friend,
who appeared to be going into a decline.
Investigation showed that the friend had
dyspepsia in an acute form. The volun
teer physician took him in hand and gave
him the above medical advice free of
charge. s
"Chew water." gasped the friend, "what
on earth do you mean?"
"That's it," said the other, "chew all
the water you drink."
"But, I don't understand," said the In
valid. "It's easy," "declared the other, where
upon he launched forth into a long talk
on the merits of water as a beverage
when properly chewed.
"You see most, people drink too little
water to aid the digestive processes. Many
have discovered that more water is
needed and they gulp down quantities of
it, as cold as ice, at intervals during the
day. '
"Now, water when it is, bolted in this
fashion, and especially cold water, does
more harm than good. It Is a shock to
the stomach and really suspends the ac
tivity of that organ. Furthermore, it
dilutes the saliva so that it is very little
good and does no good In digesting the
food.
"Now all this is changed when you chew
water. The fluid is not only warmed
by the time It reaches the stomach, but
it is so mixed with saliva and the diges
tive juices that it is a distinct aid to
digestion. Instead of stopping the action
of the salivary glands, as cold water does,
the chewed water induces a liberal flow
of saliva and Is a great aid to digestion.
"Chew the water you drink in future
and I predict that your dyspepsia will dis
appear, you will not know you have a
stomach and life will seem worth living."
The dyspeptic friend thought for a mo
ment, and, promising to try the new cure,
moved rapidly away before it could be
suggested to him to fricassee his atmos
phere before breathing It.

EDDYS ABANDON THE FIGHT
Ieave Oregon on Account of Child
Labor Law.
On account or the order Issued by- Judge
Gantenbein, of the Juvenile Court, for
bidding the appearance of little Caroline
Eddy at the Grand Theater, the vaude
ville act in which she was the central
figure was discontinued yesterday, and
the Eddy Family, as , the troupe was
known, left for Seattle. The order pre
venting the little girl from performing
on the tight wire did not exclude her
older brother from appearing, but Richard
Bddy, father of the children, decided
that he would cancel the engagement if
the little girl could not take part.
A conference was held with Manager
Erriekson Thursday night and was to
have been continued yesterday, but when
the manager of the theater looked for
Mr. Eddy he found that he had left with
his family for Seattle..
Mr. Erriekson said last night that he
would be compelled to cancel his contracts-
for a number of acts, some of
which are commanding the highest sal
aries on the Eastern circuit, on account
of the child-labor law. These acts, how
ever, will be seen at Sullivan and Con
sidine houses in the state of Washington.
WORK OUT TAX FOR WATER
Plan to Let Settlers Aid in Reclama
tion Work on Land.
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAt', Wash
ington. Jan.. 31.-Settlers who are occupy
ing lands on uncompleted Government ir
rigation projects will hereafter be given
an opportunity to earn at least a fair in
come while waiting for water to be turned
on their lands. A plan has been devised
by the Reclamation Serviee. and ap
proved by the Secretary of the Interior,
whereby these settlers will have an op
portunity to perform some of the work
of construction, such as grading, haul
ing supplies and material, teaming, etc.
It is not proposed to pay them In actual
cash, however, but In certificates, which
will be accepted later by the Government
In lieu 'of cash payments for water rights.
Under this plan, a settler on an unfin
ished project may undertake work under
such a contract as described, earn enough
during the Winter to meet his payments
that are likely to fall due in the Spring,
and thereby reserve to himself whatever
cash he may have otherwise intended to
pay over to the Government for his water.
Others may earn perhaps half the amount
of the charges against them. But what
ever the measure, the Reclamation Serv
ice believes this plan of co-operation will
tend materially to lighten the burden on
the settlers and render it easier for them
to meet their payments. The plan is a
new one, and largely experimental, but if
it works as successfully as anticipated, it
will be perpetuated. ,
MAY BUILD PIPE PLANT
Big Corporation Said to Be Planning
Portland Branch.
Lafe Pence, of the Pence Company, it
is rumored, has closed a contract aggre
gating $600,000 with W. E. Hampton,
president of the National Wood Pipe
Company, for delivery of 50,000,000 feet
of lumber by the Cornelius Gap flume.
It is understood that the contract will
be followed by the erection at Portland
of the National Wood Pipe Company's
largest plant, other mills now being in
operation at San Francisco, Olympia and
Los Angeles.
From the profits under this contract
it is proposed by the Pence Company to
make payment within two years of In
debtedness aggregating $630,000 due to the
Title Guarantee & Trust Co. for funds
advanced to the former and liabilities
assumed by the bank on purchases at
and near the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion grounds.
When asked concerning the negotia
tions between Mr. Pence and the Title
Guarantee & Trust officials, William M.
Ladd said last night that he knew noth
ing regarding the matter other than that
it had been referred to the receiver for
the bank, R. S. Howard, for considera
tion. AWAIT TALK FROM JOKER
Humorous Effort From Cushman Is
More Than Due.
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Jan 31. The House of Represen
tatives is awaiting with interest a speech
from Representative Cushman, of Wash
ington. Cushman now wears the title of
"Humorist of the House," and his col
leagues look to him for at least one
"funny" speech each session. .
The fact is that no opportunity was
afforded for a characteristic Cushman
speech prior to the Christmas holidays,
and before Congress reconvened Cush
man was taken down with grip. He has
practically recovered his health, but
since then has been too busy with Im
portant matters to give any attention to
speeches. He may blossom forth in his
well-known style later in the session.
