This suit was brought to reoover $71,
249 90 damagna for the loss of the
plaintiff's raft of piling which was
wrecked on Peacock Spit while In tow
of the tugs Dauntless and Hercules.
The motion to set aside the attach

If the plaintiffs contention Is correct It
has a lien on the tugs Iauntlees and
Hercules in admirality for the damage

asserting that an oral, not a written,
contract for the tow was mads by A.

The Chicago meetings, from which

In the "back haul" cases the carriers
contended that the time between the

F. STROBEL FILES REPLY
M I SMAJT AGEMENT OF AFFAIR'i
OP HOP BRA V DENIED.
He Declares He and Mrs. Baren
stecher Can't Art re and Asks
That Property Be Sold.
Frederick Strobel has filed his
answer in the Hof Brau receivership
rase, in which he denies all the allega
tlons made by Mrs. Barenstecher, says
It is Impossible for him to get along
with her, and asks that the property be
sold, as he believes no business can
long prosper In the hands of av re
ceiver.
"For many years the late Charles
Barenstecher and I were associated
and were always the best of friends
and fairly successful In our business,"
said Mr. Strobel. "When he was in
falling health, we deemed It best to In
corporate, so that In the case of the
death of either the business might con
tinue without Interruption.
We were equally interested In tha
Hof Brau and also In some real estate.
so two corporations were formed, the
Hof Brau and the Strobel-Barenstecher
Land Company. This was done May 10,
1910, and Charles died the latter part
of June. By a resolution of the board
of directors, either of us was au
thorised to manage the business, with
full powers.
"Before Incorporation both of us had
devoted our entire time to the business
and divided the profits equally. After
that, owing to Charles' illness and
death, the entire management devolved
upon me; it took long hours and hard
work, but continued to be successful,
as a statement of the business shows
a profit of over S24.000 from May 10,
1910, until December 8. 1911, for which
I drew a salary after Charles' death of
$250 a month, which I claim is reason
able for the services rendered, only
one-half of which was charged against
Mrs. Barenstecher. Of course. I realize
that I cannot legally rlx my own
salary, but I am satisfied that there is
no responsible business man In Port
land but what would say that I was
entitled to compensation for managing
the corporation, and taking In to con
sideration the volume of business done
and the results thereof, that the
amount claimed by me was reasonable.
"This is the money I have been ac
cused of appropriating wrongfully to
my own use. The other items are in
significant In amount and were due
either to errors in bookkeeping or
petty disagreement as to what is prop
erly chargeable to expense account. All
of these matters I am more than win
buifiiiii. i" uv .aoii,
"! shall cheerfully abide the result.

have welcomed the bringing of her
uit, was glad to have a receiver ap
pointed and have some one to decide
hat we were wholly unable to agree
upon.
"There never waa any resolution
passed by either corporation that wa
were to act without salary and no
agreement of that kind was ever made
orally or otherwise.
"After Charles' death. F. J. Alex
Mayer, a competent business man. was
executor of his will and our relation
ship was amicable at all times. I am
sure that he will verify the fact that
I turned over to hira all the books
and papers of both corporations, of
which he made a thorough examina
tion and found everything straight,
with the exception of a few errors In
bookkeeping (which were not made by
me), and of such insignificance that he
said to leave the books as they were,
as the errors were sometimes in my
favor and sometimes against me. He
had access to the books at all times
and being an expert. I was glad to
have him go over them as often as he
would.
"I consulted with him about the
manner of conducting the business, and
everything waa satisfactory, and he
made a complete statement to Mrs.
Barenstecher. Before relinquishing the
executorship, Mr. Mayer called a meet
ing at his office for tha purpose of
electing a third director to have the
number required by law, but Mrs.
Barenstecher refused to act. From that
day until the appointment of a re
ceiver, it was one continual disagree
ment, and as each of us hold one-half
of the stock of both corporations.
nothing could be done. I offered to
buy or sell to Mrs. Barenstecher, or
sell to a third party, and divide the
proceeds, all of which proposals were
rejected. It Is therefore necessary for
recourse to the courts to separate two
interests that dislike each other and
consequently should not be In business
together. So far as the allegations in
her complaint reflect on my character.
am willing to leave that to the judg
ment of anyone in Portland who knows
me, after almost a lifetime spent m
business in this city. I am financially
responsible and more than willing to
abide by the decision of the court."
PORTLAND'S DEPOSITS GAIN
FAR MORE THAN SEATTLE'S.
Orecon Metropolis to Lead All
Northwest In Year If Increase
Continues Comparison Made.
Within a year Portland bank de
posits will be the heaviest in the North
west, If the present rate of compara
tive increase continues. Ever since
record of banking statistics was kept
Seattle has outranked Portland for the
reason that the small towns and cities
of Western Washington. which are
more numerous than those of Western
Oregon, did their banking through Se
attle. All the lumber shipped out of
that territory waa paid for through the
Seattle banks, necessitating heavy bal
ances by timber Interests and sawmills.
On September 1 of this year Seattle's
deposits were more than is.ooo.ouu in
excess of those In Portland. Now they
are less than S5.000.000 greater. Port
land bankers declare that the gap be
tween the two cities has been narrow
ing gradually In the last few years.
They look for It to be entirely wiped
out and for Portland to take the lead
before the end of the cryning year. The
following figures show not only the
comparative gain made by Portland's
deposits, but also-by Its loans and dis
counts:

have been In constant use and have
nlways failed for half a century. They
dose the system with powerful stimu
lants and tonics, calculated to restore
nervous force or strength that Is not
and never has been lacking, with the
result that the functions are tempo
rarily excited to the positive detriment
t the patient. Weakness Is only a
symptom resulting from many local
conditions .ind is curable by local
treatment only, without the giving of
a singlo internal dose, which demon
strates the absolute accuracy of my
understanding and treatment of this
file order. In years I have not met
with a single failure and I have entire
confidence in my ability to cure ail
cases that come to me for treatment.
I am equally certain that no treatment

have no confidence in their doctor, be
cause he demands pay before a cure
has been effected and there are many
who have been misinformed about

treatment have become skeptical and
think there is no cure for them. I
want an opportunity to treat such -men.
It makes no difference about
