I then railed a special meeting- ef tbe
Council and laid the letter berore It. tll
Ins the Council that 1 tbeusht the city
was entitled to receive any Interval that
would be paJd cm all tbla money. I knew
that the Council bad ae riant to require
ths city Treasurer to put the money la any
particular bank, but 1 thought tbe Coun
cil could uee He moral Influence to bave
the city Treasurer demand of the bank the
uvuaj rate of Intvreet oa time depoelta
The City Treasurer knew, aad everybody
knew, the money would not be used for
x months or more and would bave to
a:av In the bank all that time.
The Council did Dot think proper to do
ar.ythlna. I then bad eeveral talks with
the city Treaenrer. I reminded blm that

The money Is on deposit In the Lebaaoa
State Bank, subject ta call and check de

i lriLLSBORO. Or, Feb. 21. (Special.)
Testimony In a Pt. Louis court last
week forcibly brought to mind a
tragedy which occurred near Bethany,
a little hamlet situated between this
place and Portland, six or seven years
ago, when Carey Bnyder was shot and
killed In a little copsa a few hundred
yards distant from tha Bethany church.
bnyder waa tbo son of B. M. Bnyder,
a rich Kansas City banker, and he had
been seat Wast by tha banker father,
who took cars of him for years on tho
remittance plan. Snyder operated In
this section of Oregon for some time,
aad lis and his confederates robbed
several country banks and postofflcea.
The. evidence, recalling the murder,
which has never been solved, was la
the case wherein the heirs of George
A- Klmmfl. an Arkansaw City, Kan,
banker, who suddenly dropped out of
sight, sued an Insurance company for
payment of a policy on his life.
The star witness waa one John Boone
Bwlnney, ex-convlct and train robber,
aad he testified that In 1131 he met R.
M. Snyder, the Kansas City bsnker.
the latter telling htm he knew where
$40,000 In gold was cached In Coos
County, Oregon. Snyder, Swinnney said,
gave blm $10e aad a letter ef Introduc

According to the story. Bwlnney,
Klmmel. a man by the name of John
son and Snyder, supposed to be the
Carey bnyder. afterward m ordered at
Bethany, went to Coos County, where
they found a portion of the cache,
taking ftOOO in gold. The search for
tbe rest was abandoned, and Bwlnney
swore that on their way back to Marsh
field, Johnson fired at Klmmel, Pnyder,

UXrVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene. Feb. 11. Never before In the his
tory of debate at tha University of Oregon haa Interest been shown which
compares with that awaiting ths contest Friday evening, when J. Karl
Jones, of Newberg. and Peter C. Crockett, of Pendleton, will defend "The
Judicial Recall" against a negative team sent by the University of Utah.
The team frorn Utah was the only one to dim Oregon's forensic rscord last
year Pacific Coast Lea am a debating championship and championship In In
tercollegiate and Interstate oratory.
Until last year the Mormon debaters had never won from the Oregon
University representatives.
Perhaps much of the Interest tn the coming argument Is traceable to
tha circumstance that It will be attended a la Leap Tear, and that it will
be followed by a Leap Tear dance, where the women of the university will
have a golden opportunity to "do onto others as they would do unto you."
No one, not even the spectator, will be admitted to the novelty dance unless
debate tickets have been purchased.
and Snyder came to Portland, and he
stated on oath that Klmmel's grip,
which waa to havs been given Mr a.
Klmmel. was stolen from a Portland
boarding-house.
Those who ars convsrsant with the
Snyder sffalr In this county believe
that Carey Snyder was the one who
came West on the alleged treasure
hunt. Two men with unsavory records
were here with Carey Snyder, when he
lived on the ranch his father had given
him. near klountalndale, and tha trio
were together night and day. One
called himself Oeorge Perry, and the
other pasaed by the name of Rodgers,
the latter, however, being known to
but one or two here. Perry waa con
sidered a dangerous man. and It Is
thought here that Swlnney Is either
the Perry who was operating here
with Snyder. Jr.. or else he ta ths one
known as Rodgers.

suit, topped off with a red bat.
were actors, was staged on the lawn
of the county courthouse, with the em
ployes of the building and callers as
the audience, when a vain attempt was
made to obtain a marriage license.
The super waa another negro, at least
six feet tall, who waa to have been the
witness, had tha Chinaman not flown
from behind an evergreen tree, where
he was left by the young woman In
old rose.
The Chinaman, about 0 years old
and well dressed, wearing no queue,
but American clothes, sppeared at the
courthouse at an early hour, accom
panied by the young negresa. who he
said waa 14 years oldiMte waa togged
out for ths happy occasion with a
huge bow of black ribbon to hold -the
front edges of tbe coat together, an
Immense red hat and a tremendous
smile upon her face.
Finding the Auditor's office all right,
the Chinaman asked hla all-Important
question, "Catchem licenser Hs waa
told that a wltneea was necessary be
fore the paper would be Issued. Turn
ing to his partner, he said, "I know no
body; yon catchem witness me wait.
Tou go down town vatchem witness,
come back, we get mallled."
Taking the native of the Orient to
the front of the yard, the negro lassie
hid him behind a tree and. admonish
ing him to remain under cover, she
stalked down the street, the plumes In
her hat fluttering In the breese.
Witnesses must havs been hard to
find, for It waa fully three hours be
fore she returned with a tall man of
her own race, who was willing to swsar
that he knew both persons who were
desirous of berng married. Oolng
stealthily towards the tree, she peered
behind It. but the Celestial was not
there. He had become tired and had
lost faith In the negresa, and said to
the Sheriff aa he started down tho
street, "She no catchem witness, ms

500 CHEER OVER WIRES
Errrcwt S. Simpaon Responds to Mes
sage, E . B. Piper Repeatinr
Word to Diners Seattle nd
Portland Join Bands.
A new -spirit of the Northwest" was
born at the weekly luncheon of the
Portland Ad Club In the Multnomah
on ao
Hotel yesterday, when Joseph Blethen,
of the Seattle Times, president of the
Seattle Ad Club and president of the
Golden Potlatch for 191t, expounded
the doctrine of co-operation between
the cities of ths Northwest to nearly
600 sd men and talked It over the long
distance telephone from his seat at
the table to Ernest S. Simpson, manag
ing editor sf the San Francisco Call, in
San Francisco 787 miles away.
By unanimous voice, the club adopt
ed a resolution pledging tbe support
of the united Northwest to San Fran
cisco's Panama-Paclfla Exposition In
1915. As It was "Telephone day" at
the club, J. L. Tarnell, commercial
manager of the Paclflo Telophone A
Telegraph Company being chairn.sn of
the meeting, and W. J. Phillips, divi
sion commercial superintendent bolr.g
ons of the speakers, the club Instructed
Mr. Blethen to transmit the resolution
to Mr. Simpson.
Response Is Telephone.!.
Connection waa readily made. At Mr.
Simpson, seated In his office at Sen
Francisco, repeated the message ever
the wire, the words sounded clearly
and distinctly In Mr. Blether's ear. In
recognition of the fact that Mr. Simp
son Is a nephew of Samuel L, Simpson.
Oregon's famous post, and a "Journalist
of whom the state haa reason to be
proud," he was asked for a message In
response. This he delivered over the
telephone to Edgar B. Piper, manag
ing editor of The Oregonlan and presi
dent of the Portland Commercial Club,
who repeated It aloud before the club
members. Mr. Simpson's words were:
"From the San Francisco Cnl', on be
half of tbe Panama-Pacific Exposition,
on behalf of the people of Ban Fran
cisco, and especially and particularly
on behalf of the San Franc'sco Call. I
extend to the Portland anl iseattls Ad
Clubs and to the United Northwest
greeting.
Speaker la Oregoalaau
"It pleases me personally and it
gives me particular pleasure to be the
medium of exchange for the transmis
sion of these welcome mossages, be
cause I am a native son of your own
Portland and your united Northwest.
Additional pleasure arises from the
fact that Charles W. Homlck. general
manager of the Call, began hla career
on the Paclflo Coast mors tit in a ctn
tury ago In ths city where you are now
assembled. The Call desire warmly
and heartily to express appreciation of
this cordial and grateful message of
co-operation, also for this expression
of support of our exposition. We shall
count It as one of our greatest oppor
tunities, when the exposition. Is opened,
to receive and to welcome our brothers
of the united Northwest. I hope that
yon will so amend ths boundaries of
your united Northwest to Include not
only San Francisco, but all of Califor
nia, May the Lord bless yon and pros
per you In all your undertakings."
Cheers Seat Over Wire
Mr. Simpson having flnlthed speak
ing, three rousing "Hip" Hip Hooraya"
were given, so that hs could hoar them
over ths wire.
"Commercial Club" Chapman. who
waa the welcome" gueat of the club,
prefaced his introduction of Mr.
Blethen by recounting the fact that In
former years the Seattle newspaper
took delight In casting reflections upon
Portland and that the Portland papers
constantly took occasion to ridicule
and belittle Seattle. He declared that
the Northwest now is progressing un
der a new spirit and that Mr. Blethen
la one of the chief exponents of that
spirit.
As Mr. Blethen arose to speak a
chorus of Ad Club Voices Sang ths fol
lowing verse, composed by C F. Berg
and set to the tune of the Elks' song,
"Portland Wants You,"" the Initial let
ter of each line being in bold type to
form an acrostic spelling the word
"Potlatch."
P stands for Portland fair, Beattle'a friend

found;
C for comradeship, the PoUateh and the
Roae;
H here'a te health end happiness where New
Northwest Spirit growa
Blethea Urges Haraaeny.
Mr. Blethen's address waa a stirring
appeal for united effort In the devel
opment of the Northwest. Hs referred
to the "two new crops" from which
Portland and Seattle must depend upon
for future prosperity. These crops ars
ths "man on the acre" and the Summer
tourist, he said.
While he argued for- the develop
ment of the united spirit, he Insisted
that local pride and home enthusiasm
need not be lost.
"I would not give a rap." he said,
"for a Portland man who would say to
me, 'Joe Blethen, you have the beat
town In the Northwest. Seattle Is a
greater place than PortlauC
"We should each do what we hon
orably can to make our respective city
the best In the Northwest but by doing
that we need not pull down and destroy
the other city. We need united effort,
and neither of us can prosper without
getting it from tbe other."
Big Phone Gala Pfoted.
The address of Mr. Phillips on "The
Telephone" was replete with Interest
ing information. He was cheered lusti
ly when h- reported that Portland
gained 17 per cent In the number of
telephones tn use In 1111, giving It. a
total of 14.271.
Colonel C. E. S. Wood, announced as
"our greatest orator, spoke In char
acteristically humorous and phllosophlo
manner on "The Mistakes of the Local
Spirit." He pointed to the fact that
the do nfall of Greece waa caused by
rivalry between Athens and Bpana
and that ths history of the world in
proof of the fact that when cities stirt
to fight smong tnemseives xne nation
starts to decay. The selfish local spirit,
he declared. Is inimical to the best in
terests of the Northwest. He com
mended highly the creation of "the
new spirit of the Northwest."
