SAYS BOOKS WILL
INDUCT
Oregon Trust Affairs Are In
Fearful Shape, According
to Experts.
RECEIVER MAKES CHARGES
Devlin Declares That Final Report
Will Be Submitted to District At
torney True List of Stock
holders Difficult to Get.
"In my opinion, from h Incomplete
analysts I have made of the books of the
Oregon Trust. & Savings Bank, the re
port which will result from the Investiga
tion being made, by the experts, Lester
Hen-irk & Herrick. will show the most
startlinir evidence of misconduct of a
bank which has ever been made publla
on the Pacific Coast." This sweeping
charge was made yesterday by T. C
Devlin, receiver of the defunct Institu
tion, who is laboring hard to wind up the
affairs of the bank wreck and close out
the remaining claims against the institu
tion before February, the time set by the
courts under the arrangement by which
the affairs of the Oregon Trust & Sav
ings Bank were to have been closed i;p
In connection with the German-American
Bank.
"We are not prepared to make publlo
any specific facts In connection with this
examination of the books and will not be
until after the report Is concluded and
has ' been Inspected by the District At
torney's office, but I do not hesitate to
say for publication that the recklessness
with which the depositors' money was
handled and diverted to the use of peo
ple connected with the bank Is aaton
ishing. and that if it Is the contention
of the directors that they did not know
what the funds were being used for, they
must have been wholly oblivious to their
trust as the watchdogs over a public in
stitution." Stock Not Paid For.
While M. Devlin would not make any
announcement of Irregularities found, ne
admitted that the books showed that the
stockholders of the bank had never paid
for their stock with the exception of a
very small amount and that the Institu
tion had started, therefore, with no
money but that of the public deposited
during the first few days of its career.
This placed the bank In an Insolvent con
dition from Its Inception, which Is a vio
lation of the law. In which state, the
books Indicate the bank remained until
It closed.
The subscribers to the stock under the
statutes are liable for the amount of their
stock holdings, and the original stock
holders ss well as those who may have
afterwards purchased stock from them
and were owners of same at the time of
the bank's closing are both responsible
to this extent.
As the time is now rapidly approaching
for the final settlement of the bank's
affairs and the securities In the hands of
Mr. Devlin are insufficient to cover the
amount of the claims still outstanding,
the only other resource which the re
ceiver has available from- which to si
cure the funds necessary for this purpose
la the stockholders. To determine the
amount of and to force the settlement of
the liability of each of these stockholders,
as well as to find their Identity Is one
of the most Important matters Mr. Devlin
as receiver now has in hand.
Books Are Useless.
The books of the bank fail to show who
owned Its stock st the time payment was
suspended and Its doors closed. Whether
this condition existed by design is a
question which Is to be determined.
Either tne minutes of the board of direc
tors and the book In which the stock
transactions were kept were removed
from the bank purposely or these import
ant records were not kept at all as they
were not found when the receiver stepped
In to . take charge. The stock book In
which the stubs even fall to show to
whom the certificates were Issued is tho
only approach to it record of the stock
holders.
Inasmuch as the efforts of Mr. Devlin
up to the present time have failed to get
the names of all stockholders It is be
lieved that such stockholders as are re
corded "In the incomplete records will be
brought into court and forced to disclose
all their knowledge of stock ownership.
A significant fact In connection with the
stock certificate book found " by Mr.
Devlin Is that the majority of the certifi
cates pupposed to have been bought and
paid for had never been torn out of the
certificate book, had not been marked
with the bank seal or signed by Its offi
cers. This 'was noticeably the case in
the Instances of W. H. Moore, the presi
dent, and of Cooper Morris, cashier.
Were Never Paid For.
The assumption Is that these certifi
cates had never been paid for, a conclu
sion which is borne out by a statement
taken from the books of the bank on
May 5, lfH. the first day of business
shown on the books.'

The loans and discounts entry under

and the loans and discounts account was
more than $100.v0 short when the affairs
of the ba.ik were turned Into his hands.
According to the experts this Is the proof
that the stock was never paid for.

effect on tha exporting situation. Sep

PRICE FOB APPLES
HIGHEST EVER PI
One Firm Contracts for Entire
New Crop of Hood River
Mosier District.
BIG ADVANCE OVER 1908
Joseph A. StelnharSflt, New York
Buyer, Says Oregon Is Apple
Garden of World, and Business
Cannot Be Overdone.
At the highest known price ever paid
for a crop of apples anywhere, Joseph
A- Steinhardt. of the big fruit-buying
firm of Steinhardt & Kelly, New York
City, last Monday closed a contract with
the apple-growers of Hood River and
Jlosier to buy the entire output of
their apple orchards this year.
When Mr. Steinhardt visited Hood
River last year and closed a similar
contract for the entire crop, he paid
from $2.25 a box for some varieties to
$2.50 a box for the famous Hood River
Spltzenbergs. l And that was said to be
probably the highest price for an ap
ple crop on record. It was learned
yesterday, through Mr. Steinhardt him
self, that the contract he has just
closed for this year's output calls for a
much higher figure than f2.50 a box
Just how high Mr. Steinhardt would
not reveal.
He did say, however, that if the crop
of the combined Hood River-Mosier dis
trict this Fall cames up to the present
estimate of about 150 cars of apples,
each car averaging between 600 and
650 boxes, the amount. which he will
pay the fruitgrowers of the two valleys
in accordance with the figures named
in the contract will be considerably
more than 1200,000.
This huge sum Is for the apples
packed In boxes and delivered f. o. b.
at Hood River and Mosler. From the
moment they are loaded on the cars,
the responsibility of the growers will
cease.
Big Deal Quickly Closed.
So great, was Mr. Stelnhardt's confi
dence In the superior qualities of the
Hood River and Mosler apples that it
took him Just three hours last Monday
after he stepped off the train at Hood
River to make all preliminary negotia
tions, agree on the price to be paid
and sign the contract with the apple
growers' unions of Hood River and
Mosler. He did not even take the buy
er's usual precaution of first driving
through the orchards and noting -for
himself the condition of the fruit, but
accepted the word of the growers im
plicitly. It was not until the day after
he had signed the agreement that Mr.
Steinhardt drove through the valley. '
The firm of Steinhardt & Kelly, of
which Mr. Steinhardt is the senior
member, is probably the largest fruit
buying concern in the world. Mr.
Steinhardt himself Is recognized as an
apple authority from whose verdict
there is no appeal. At Portland yester
day he was unstinting in his praise of
the Hood Rlver-Mosler apples and
methods of frultralslng.
"Without doubt, the deal Just closed
la the largest apple deal that was ever
made," said Mr. Steinhardt. "Our firm
not only buys annually the Hood River
output, but each year we import
peaches, plums and pears from South
Africa and apples from Tasmania. The
prices we have Just contracted to pay,
however, for this year's output from
Hood River and Mosier are the highest
ever paid for any apple crop in the
world's history.
"I cannot say too much for the Hood
River-Mosier apples. The pack of this
district Is the finest in tho world and
the most scientific, and It supplies the
most epicurean and exacting trade. Ve
do not consider that we are paying a
cent too much for it, and we are not in
business for sentimental reasons.
"And let me say right here that there
is not the slightest danger that the peo
ple of this district and of Oregon in gen
eral will overdo the matter of apple
ralslng. They cannot overdo It. The rea
son Is very simple, and easy to demon
strate by means of a few figures. In ISO
tKe apple crop of the United States
amounted to 67,000.000 barrels; in noeyear
since then has it amounted to more than
35,000.000 barrels. The crop for the pres
ent season probably will not reach that
figure. '. -
Business Cannot Be Overdone.
"The significance of these figures Is
clear. When It Is considered that since
1906 the population of the country has
increased probably more than 20,000,000
people, while the annual apple output
has actually . fallen from 67.000,000 to 35.
000.000 barrels. It can readily be seen how
impossible it would be for apple growers
In Oregon ever to raise - so many apples
as to oversupply the market.
"If the whole Hood River-Mosier dis
trict were one mass of orchards. It
wouldn't even supply New York City, to
say nothing of the rest of the country,
and Europe.
"The way these Oregon orchards are
kept up is a revelation. . Why, the
ground between the trees Is kept so
clean and free of weeds that you could
almost lay out a meal and eat It off
the ground. You cannot aay that of any
of the Eastern orohards.
"I have been all through the principal
apple raising sections of the East, and I
will say that the apples of the Hood
River district always will maintain their
supremacy. In the East, the farmers
raise apples more as a secondary occu
pation to their farming. They have not
learned scientific methods. Even in
places where they have profited to some
extent -by the lessons taught them by
the Hood River growers, their orchards
are too far gone with pests they have
been neglected too long. To bring these
orchards to the same high state of scien
tific cultivation as those of the Hood
River-Mosier district. It would be neces
sary for them to tear out their old trees
and plant new ones.
Oregon Apples Unsurpassed.
"And then Oregon apples have other
advantages that the Eastern product
cannot compete with. In the matter of
taste and coloring and shape they can
not be surpassed, or equaled even, any
where else In the world. -'
"Oregon is the apple garden of the
world. The whole state could go Into the
business of raising apples without dan
ger of overstocking the market.
"It Is pertinent for me to say here,
also, that the salvation of the Hood
River-Mosier district has been its apple
growers' unions. I have come direct
from New York to buy this crop If there
had been no unions I would not have
made the trip, and neither would any
other apple dealer, for the reason that
none could have taken the risk of being
compelled to deal with scattered growers.
In place of a compact union."
Mr. Steinhardt will go today to vtha
Wenatchee apple district in "Washington.
He will inspect the crop there and make
arrangements for buying it.
FOUTS IS IN CONTEMPT
Olson Takes Exception to Dismissal
of Witnesses.
Attorney Seneca Fouts was declared
yesterday -by Justice Olson to be in
contempt of court as the result of a
criminal case which was to have been
tried yesterday afternoon before Jus
tice Olson, in which Fouts, after hav
ing obtained a cash settlement from
. v. in favor of the com-
j plainant, whom Fouts represented.
had Instructed all tne, witnesses not. ui
appear in court.
Not only will Fouts be required to
o ..a.,-.- th rhnrn of contempt of
! court, but in all probability will be
required to explain the case Derore ine
grand "Jury. Justice Olson laid the
facts before tha District Attorney yes
terday afternoon with the request that
Fouts be prosecuted if the facts war
ranted such action.
The trouble in which the attorney
finds himself grew out of a case in
which Lena Monroe, a vaudeville ac
tress, and Tony Arnaud, a keeper of a
North End resort, were the principals.
Miss Monroe, when summoned to
oourt by a bench warrant yesterday,
said Arnaud had compromised, the fase
by paying $150.

NEW BUILDING WILL REALLY
s
CONTAIN BIG HOTEL.
Dormitories Fitted Up on Four
Floors With Special Room for
Men Down on Luck.
I In discussion of Portland s new ho
tels and -additional accommodations for
visitors within the city, very little has
been said about the new building of
the Young Men's .Christian Associa
tion, which really contains one of the
largest hotels in the city as one of its
many features. Not that the Associa
tion Is going into the business, of oper
ating a hotel, but quarters have been
provided for housing a large number
of members of the organization, both
permanent residents and transients, so
that the new building will In effect add
greatly to the hotel space of the city.
Four floors of the building, the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth, are - alike
and will be used exclusively for dor
mitory purposes, the intention being to
provide a home with healthful environ
ment for members of the Association.
This was one of the chief purposes of
the public in subscribing $350,000 for
the new home of the Association, and
in planning the erection of the struc
ture this idea has been faithfully car

There are in all 172 dormitories,
some of which are intended to accom

lieved 225 to 250 men will be housed in
the building, making it really Port
land's largest club. Nothing has yet
been dome toward fitting up and. fur
nishing the rooms, but a large amount
Is to be spent on furnishings, oak
being used throughout.
One of the features of the building
is a large room in which there will be
15 beds which will be. rented at only
a nominal cost to young men who are
temporarily in financial straits. The
purpose of the Association in providing
this room is not to afford .quarters to
worthless characters, but simply to
provide good clean accommodations
for respectable men until they can find
employment and afford to secure bet
ter lodgings. In this big room will be
16 steel lockers, so that the occupants
can keep their clothing separate, and
the men will also have access to
baths.
The Association is going to Install
all desirable conveniences in its reg

A LITTLE RED SPOT
Novel Experiment by Which It May Be
Made to Disappear.
A peculiar feature about noslam, the
now skin discovery. Is that no one is
asked to buy it without first sending to
the Emergency Laboratories No. 32
West Twenty-fifth street. New York
City, for an experimental sample and
applying same to an affected part of
the skin, about the size of a silver
dollar. It will ciear the spot so treat
ed in twenty-four hours a remarkable
visual demonstration of its powers.
"While poslam has been mentioned
principally in connection with the cure
of eczema, the most stubborn of skin
diseases, it must be remembered that
when used for itch, hives, pimples,
blotches, acne, itching feet, scaly scalp,
chafing of Infants and similar minor
skin troubles Its action is all the more
pronounced, results being seen after an
overnight application. As only a small
quantity of poslam is necessary to cure
such cases, a special fifty-cent pack
age, usually sufficient, has been placed
on sale at the Skidmore Drug Co.,
Woodard, Clarke & Co., and ether lead
ing drugstores in Portland and through
out the country.

While Eczema, Acme, Tetter, Salt Rheum, etoi, are troubles which affect
the skin, their source is far deeper than the outside cuticle. These affections
axe caused by irritating humors, or uratio acid in the blood. Such impurities
inflame and irritate the delicate network of fibrous tissue whioh lies ust
beneath the surface of the outer skin, and the inflammatory discharge thu3
produced is forced out through the pores and glands, and is continually
kept up while the blood remains infeoted. This exudation causes the form- T
ation of scales and crusts so often seen in Eczema, and when they are
scratched off the flesh is left raw and more susceptible to other infection.
It can very readily be seen then that to produce a oure the circulation must
be purified and cleansed. This S. S. S. will do. It goes down to the very
bottom, removes all humors and impurities, neutralizes the excessive acids
of the system and in this way removes the cause of disease. Local applica
tions can only soothe the irritation and assist in keeping the skin clean; they
never produce a cure, beoause suoh treatment does not reach the blood.
S.S.S. restores to the thin, acrid blood all its lost properties, makes t
pure and rich and enables it to nourish the skin and keep it soft, smooth
and healthy. Book on PV-i" Diseases and any medical advice free to all

NEW-CROP FLOUR CHEAPER
Ilaced on Market, bnt Not in Strong
Demand Among Bakers.
Flour made from 1909 crop wheat will
soon be placed on the market at a price
$1.16 a barrel cheaper than old flour has
been selling for. Millers will send out
their price Hats today, quoting new crop
patents to the trade at $5.10 a barrel.
As compared with the opening prices
last year, this Is 40 cents a barrel higher.

My specialty, besides being- limited
to men only, is confined to less than
' a dozen ailments. But of each ail

built upon my ability to oure those
that others could not cure. Inas
much as I do not accept for treat
ment any case that I am not abso

to offer my services on a basis that
no other Specialist can.
No Cure, No Pay
No Experiments
No a Failures
My experience and facilities are
unequalled In Portland, and I have
the largest referred practice In the
cltl. I mean by "referred practice"
patients referred to me by otb,ers
who previously treated with me and
voluntarily recommend their friends
foi- similar treatment.
My treatments are mild results
are quick. I successfully treat Acute,
Chronic and Nervous Diseases, Blood
Poison, Varicose Veins, Catarrh,
Skin Diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Troubles, Piles, Fistula, Kidney and
Bladder Ailments, Norvous Decline,
and many other ailments of men not
mentioned here. If you want a life
cure without experimenting or fail
ure, don't put It off until It Is too
late. The canker worm of delay has
ruined more people physically, men
tal I v and morally than any other one
thing in the world. It destroys In

importance of looking after your

THE WORK OF A SPECIALIST
DOING OF A FEW THINGS
There Is not a physician living who can claim
to be proficient In the treatment of all human
ailments. To attain the highest possible degree
of proficiency In all departments of medloal
science would require half a dozen lifetimes of
study and as many more of a practical experi
ence. The regular practitioner is proficient In a
large number of the commonest and most easily
conquered ailments. The specialist must first
become proficient tor general practice and must
then go on to proficiency In a few of those con
ditions and ailments more difficult to under
stand and more difficult to cure.
Pay Me When I
Contracted Ailments
Be sure your cure is thorough.
' Not one of my patients has ever
' had a relapse after being dis
charged as cured, and 1 cure In
less time than the ordinary forms
of treatment require.

quotations. Jobbers and millers do not
look for much of a movement in new
flour for some time yet. as it Is not flt
for baking purposes and will not be for
several weeks. Bakers and cooks who
have tried flour made from newly har
vested wheat know that It does not give
satisfaction. Old flour Is always in most
demand and, therefore, commands a pre
mium. Information irathered from the millers
of both states shows that very little of
old-crop flour remains in uregon ana
Washington. Many of the millers have
none at all and the large millers have
barely enough to tide them over. They
have, therefore, decided to maintain the
former price of J6.25 a barrel on the small
quantity of old-crop flour that remains on
their hands. As the leading bakers' and.
large consumera Insist on having flour
made from ol wheat as long as It Is
available, it Is probable that the supply
that la left will not last long. '
