fiiclal records of Multnomah County.
Faare 1 of the report by Receiver

note signed by Bourna and C. W.
.r.nwles, was sold for IS or a tenth
t 1 per cent of its face value. The
irrhaae was made by George Holman.

Note Long Ileld.
The Bourne note was sold after being
Yt.ii seven years aa an asset in the

rrt of that time hundreds of people

xlned he had nothing- upon which to

pncJy to have ample means, being the
Hirtttanoe man of a wealthy New Eng-
find family.
Looting- Methods Recalled.
The note was given to the bank a
krort time before it closed for the first
hi In 18S4. At that time a certain
Liana, as learned later, was engaged
looting the concern by borrowing on
tes and worthless security. Knowles,
vho with Bourne secured the $5000.
s the proprietor of the St. Charles
Hotel and was associated with Bourns
-i a. wood and coal enterprise. He Is
how deceased.
The closing down of the Portland
;vings Bank Is yet recalled with a
hudder by hundreds of Portlandcrs. It
d a capital stock of Kfft.oOA and an
(gregate liability of $1. 200.000. There
er thousands of depositors, the ac-
ounta. as shown by the records, rang--r
mostly from 110 to J2000.
, Sale Harts Depositors.
A the result of the large amount of
krthlss securities, such as the
K ttirne note, the bank paid out event-
ally less thsn 40 per cent to the de-
raaitors and it was during the course
of this adjustment that the hundreds
rendered destitute were often hard put
for actual food, fuel and clothing, as
1 financial depression of the country
was at Its height during the time the
affairs of the looted bank were being
tralghtened. After closing the first
Time ths bank wss reopened with the

vaa kept open for a few months. Mean
while a few favored creditors cot from

The final "dead-horse" sale of worth
less notes occurred April I. 1901, after
van years of effort hsd brought no
collections on the notes. Difficulty was
Vnund in getting purchasers for such
Irtet at any price. The Bourne note

LAW PROTECTS EMPLOYER
Bowerman Proposes leasnre Aimed
Against "Spotters."
Acting Governor Bowerman, Republi
can direct primary nominee for Gover
nor, has a measure patterned after a
law now in effect In Oklahoma, which
he has announced he proposes to rec
ommend for adoption in his first mes
sage to the Oregon Legislature and
which law has received the Indorse
ment of railway and other corporation
employes.
The act provides that when an em
ploye Is discharged the employer Indi
vidual or corporation must, upon re
quest, state the reason for such dis
missal and must, upon demand, con
front the accused with the accuser.
While this law was framed In the
first Instance by members of the Order
of Railway Conductors and serves to
nrotMt there from unjust accusations
Cf so-called "spotters" or any other
person having a personal enmity, its
provisions go farther and protect the
positions and reputations ot all em
ployes. As It now Is. a conductor, engineer.
moto:-raan or other employe is called
-on the carpet" and discharged with
out a clearance, very frequently no
reason being given. If a man be guilty
f a breach of the rules, or any offense,
he realises his own guilt and will not
auk for a hearing. If the employe be
falsely accused, however, Mr. Bower
man's bill will protect him and his rep
utation. With such a law on the stat
ute books of the state alleged detec
tives or others will not be so prone to
make false charges, knowing that they
will be called upon to face the accused.

yesterday from Lake County. In that
section, according to authentic Infor

Land Office, is making an active fight
against W. Lair Thompson and Dr. H.
P. Belknap, direct primary nominees for
Joint Representatives. Orton opposed
these men in the primary campaign,
but failed to secure their defeat.
Not only is Orton now opposing the
two nominees of his party, but he is
actively working for a Democrat in
Klawath County and an Independent in
Lake. During the primary campaign
Ortoa actively worked for B. F. Mul

CHINESE CUTTING QUEUES
Vancouver Orientals Follow Ex
ample of Prince.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct. 1L (Spe
cial.) -Emulating the example of their
Prince, many Chinamen of this city and
county are preparing to have their
queues .clipped. It is known that a
number are permitting their hair In
front, which they usually shave, to
grow long, so that whan the queue is
removed they will look "alls samme
Melican man." and will not attract at
tention by having a bunch of black
hair surrounded by a bald area.
Several Chinamen here have already
shed their queues, and their number
will be greatly increased within a short
time.
One Chinaman said today that the
Chinese, the eld Chinamen, did not
wear hair in a braid, but that the cus
tom was Inaugurated about 250 years
ago. He seems to think it is a sensible
thing to do. so he is working in favor
of having his countrymen clip their pig
tans.

Together with this offer, two cash

and to compete for the special prizes.
"This is the largest single prize that
has ever been offered the society," said
Mr. Power, "and It shows what Interest
Mr. Hill is taking in our project. Ws
consider the offer Important. It will
give us an opportunity to Invite exhibits
in carload lota and to have competition
from all parts of the Northwest."
The show will be held In the Armory,
November 30 and December 1 and 2. un
der the direction of the State Horticul

DIVISION LOCAL ISSUE
TnOSE INTERESTED SHOCT.D DE
CIDE, SATS G. A. HARTMAN".
Former Resident of Umatilla County
Believes Pending Measures Will
Be Voted Down.
That the county division schemes in
Oregon are subjects that should be lef(
to the people directly concerned In
stead of being submitted to all ths
voters of the slate, is the belief of G.
A. Hartman. who has just returned
from a trip to the eastern part of the
state. .Before coming to Portland to
reside, Mr. Hartman lived in Umatilla
County nearly 40 years.
"I have a kindly feeling for Umatilla
County and I will do all I can to pre
vent division there, aa there is no de
mand for. It by the taxpayers." said
Mr. Hartman yesterday. "The only ones
clamoring for It seems to be real estate
boomers and off ira-ssekera living in
the northern end of the county. County
division appears to be promoted by the
same class In other counties.
"I have talked with representstlves
from all of the other counties affected
and believe all the proposed new coun
ties and changes of boundsrles will
fall, because the voters generally want
to be fair In such matters. Voters of
Multnomah County are not Interested
In and do not know the needs of Uma
tilla, Grant and other counties where,
a flffht Is on, and as there Is a bill be.
fore the voters to allow eounttes to set.
tie their own local affairs, which ought
to and doubtless will pass, it Is rea
sonable to assume that all division bills
will fall to pass. I believe that such
questions should be settled by the re
spective localities.
"The voters want to know the truth
about all questions and will decide them
right every time. As the majority of
the taxpayers oppose county division, I
look for a very decisive vote against
these bills, and I believe that a like ma
jority will paas the bill providing for
county division Issues to be settled by
the people In the localities directly Interested."
