RESERVE DEPOSITS
TQ RE MADE IN GOLD
Order Also Applies to Sub
ascriptions to Stock by
t American Institutions.
PATRIOTIC APPEAL MADE
Vaults or 12 Banks to Be Killed
."With Money at Once, Permitting
Ready Issue of Federal
Vi Jiotes as Desired. '
I TV ASHING TON, Oct:' 28. The Federal
Reserve Board tonight notified all
bainks that are members of the new
system that goiu or lawful money
must be used in making the transfer
of reserve deposits from the present
banks to the Federal reserve banks.
This step is designed to fill the vaults
of the 12 reserve banks with money
at once and will permit the ready issue
of Federal reserve notes to member
banks. -
The Board announced alBO that this
order would apply to subscriptions to
be made to the capital stock of re
serve banks by the member institu
tions, the first installment of which
is due on November 24. The transfer
of. reserves will begin after the Sec
retary of the Treasury makes formal
notification of the opening of the 12
banks, November 16.
Appeal to Patriotism Made.
"The Federal Reserve Board appeals
to the patriotic spirit of all member
banks, large and small," said the Board
in. its announcement, "to do their ut
most in facilitating the different work
now thrown upon the officers of the
newly-created reserve banks and to do
ail in their power to secure from the
new system the greatest possible suc
cess from the beginning."
. No compilation as yet has been given
by the department showing the exact
amount of money to be transferred.
- The Board's announcement, in part,
follows:
' "The Secretary of the Treasury, hav
ing advised the Federal Reserve Board
thit formal notice of the establish
ment of the several Federal reserve
banks will be given to all member
bdnks on November 1.6, it is neces
sary that arrangements be made now
for the transfer of required reserves
by the member banks to their respec
tive Federal reserve banks on that date.
Checks and Drafts Burdensome.
"It is, of course, clear that if the
banks in non-reserve cities undertake
to make the necessary 1 deposits of re
serves with their Federal reserve bank
by remitting checks or drafts on
banks in reserve cities (which checks
or drafts can be received by the Fed
eral reserve bank for collection only)
there may result unnecessarily heavy
withdrawal of funds from the banks
1 it reserve cities. In the same man
ner, if banks in central reserve cities
make remittances of checks or drafts
on banks in central reserve cities, an
unnecessary burden may be placed
pon the latter.
"The deposits of reserves with Fed
eral reserve banks must be made in
gold or lawful money, and in order
that the withdrawal of funds from the
vaults of member banks may be as
nearly uniform as possible and so dis
tributed as to relieve any particular
section or sections of unnecessary bur
den, the Federal Reserve Board urges
all banks to ship from their own
vaults gold . or lawful money. The
Federal reserve banks have been au
thorized to assume and pay the ex
press charges involved in making such
shipments.
.. Large Denominations Preferred.
"The foregoing suggestions also ap
ply to payments on account of the first
installment of capital stock due No
vember 2.
"In view of the advantage to be
derived from the deposits of gold,
which may be used as reserve for
Federal reserve notes, it is strongly
urged by the Board that deposits of
reserves in the Federal banks be made,
so far as practicable, in gold or gold
certificates.
"Due notice of the establishment of
the Federal reserve banks on Novem
ber 16 will be sent each member bank
by the Secretary of the Treasurer and
no transfers of reserve can be made
until this is done.
-"Member banks of large resources
will greatly facilitate the physical
work of counting reserve money if they
will send gold certificates in as large
denominations as possible on clearing
house orders calling for gold certifi
cates or gold already counted by the
clearing-houses."
BOOTH CHEERED TO ECHO
(Continued From First Page.)
called to pay their respects to Mr.
Booth.
1No political meeting held in Ashland
ill years has drawn such an audience,
either in point of numbers or in the
interest and enthusiasm it aroused.
At the close of the meeting E. V.
Carter arose from the audience and
was received with tumultuous applause
as he proclaimed his belief and faith
in the honesty and integrity of Mr.
Booth. The audience applauded Mr.
Carter vociferously.
Senator Booth will leave here early
Thursday morning for a tour of the
Valley, accompanied by a delegation of
party leaders. He will visit Talent,
Phoenix. Jacksonville, Eagle Point and
other places. He will speak at Medford
Thursday evening. Friday he will visit
the Western portion of the county on
his way to Grants Pass.
IAXE ACCUSED OK FALSITY
Booth's Secretary Denounres State
ment About Timber Holdings.
"When United States Senator Harry
Lane intimated in his speech at Lincoln
High School. Tuesday night, that R. A.
Booth Is the owner of 3:;4.000 acres
of land he either falsified deliberately
or he was maliciously Ignorant of the
facts, said J. S. Magladry, Mr. Booth s
secretary, last nlsrht.
In Senator Lane's speech Mr. Booth
was not mentioned by name, but the
fct that the attack was directed at
Mr. Booth was too plain to bo mis
taken. "The facts in connection with Mr.
Booth's timber holdings and his land
ownership are matters of public rec
ord." said Mr. Magladry. "Senator
lane could have known them if he
really had wanted information on the
subject.
"Mr. Booth went into detail concern
ing his land holdings in his speech at
Albany. That speech was printed in
the Portlsnd papers, and it certainly
ought to be clear to anyone that Mr.
Booth actually owns only a little more
than 25.000 acres of land and not 324.000
au:res as was asserted by Senator Lane.
"Senator Lane has stretched It about
1200 per cent, but that Is only in keep-
ing with the campaign of misrepresen
tation that the Democrats have been
conducting.
"When a man sets out to make state
ments regarding another, especially
when the man making tbe statements
Is a member of the United States
Senate, he should be Bure of his posi
tion. He should know thai what be
says is true.
"What Senator Lane said certainly is
not true, and I repeat , that he should
have known that it was not true.. The
facts are so well known that Lane's
attack amounts to deliberate falsehood.
"Now the actual facts in the case
are these: Mr.t Booth and his associates,
under the name of the Oregon Land &
Livestock Company, purchased 800,000
acres of the military wagon road land
grant. This land- was deeded by the
Government to the original builders
of the military wagon road across the
state from, its eastern border into the
Willamette Basin.
"In 1906 Mr. Booth and his associates
sold 500,000 acres of this property at $1
an acre. Other sales have been made
to the extent that the company now
holds only about 120,000 acres of the
original purchase. -
"Mr. Booth personally owns but sev
enteen and a half per cent of the stock
in the Oregon Land & Livestock Com
pany. Were this land then pro
portioned among the stockholders Mr.
Booth's share would be only 21,000
acres.
"Now the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com
pany owns 139,000 acres of which 22,
000 acres have been denuded and the
logs manufactured into lumber.
"Mr. Booth owns but three per cent
of the stock in the Booth-Kelly Lumber-Company.
His proportion of the
company's property, therefore, would
be 4170 acres.
"This, with the 21,000 acres of the
Oregon Land & Livestock Company's
property, would give him an aggregate
of 25,170 acres.
"Senator Lane evidently is joining in
the campaign of untruths that the
Democrats have been making. The
Oregon Journal, which paper reported
his speech and which added to Senator
Lane's speech its own testimony that
324,000 acres 'is the amount of the
Booth holdings.' is well aware of the
real facts, but truth is something that
the Journal studiously avoids.
"The figures that I present can be
proved correct by an examination of
the public records."
Y.W.C.A. HEADS CONFER
MEETI.VG DISCUSSES PROBLEMS
AND REVIEWS WORK.
National Leaders Take Part In
gramme and Inspire New Life

An important conference of Y. W. C. A.

the Portland association, gave a few
words of greeting. Miss James; the
general secretary spoke of the impor
tance of careful and wise selection of
persons to serve on the various T. W.
C. A committees and the qualifications
necessary for such workers.
Miss Jane M. Scott, Northwest ex
ecutive secretary, speaking on "Voca
tional Calling" emphasized the fact that
it was necessary for a girl to decide
early in life what line of work she
wished to follow and to study to make
herself efficient along that line. At
the conclusion of Miss Scott's talk the
conference subdivided into, sectional
conferences, where problems pertaining
to the dirrerent departments of Y. W.
C. A. work were discussed.
- At 1 o'clock luncheon was served in
the large private dining-room. Na
tional, field and and city-workers had
their only opportunity for a social hour.
The afternoon session was in charge
of Miss Inez Kinney, the National spe
cial worker of the field department.
who spoke on plans for financing
Y. W. C. A. efforts and on questions of
vital interest in regard to the student
work.
Miss Constance Wheldon, employ
ment secretary of the city association
gave helpful suggestions to the secre
taries. Miss Mary Gillies Y. W. C. A.
student secretary at the University of
Oregon and Miss Katherine Vance,
holding a like position in the Oregon
Agricultural College, were introduced
and spoke briefly.
Seldom has there been such a gather
ing of Y. W. C. A. .officials in this city
as was present at this conference and
the presence of so many National of
ficers brought new inspiration to the
city workers and made them feel the
Importance and the magnitude of the

SALEM INVITES BISHOP
City Declared Center of Episcopal
Diocese of Oregon.
SALEM. Or- Oct. 28 -(Special.)
The central convocation of the Epis
copal Church, at a meeting here today,
adopted a resolution inviting Walter
T. Sumner, recently elected bishop of
the Episcopal Church of Oregon, to
make his residence in this city. It was
declared in the resolution that Salem
was the center of the diocese" of Ore
gon and that it would be for the best
nterests of the church for the bishop
to live here. A copy of the resolution
will be sent to Bishop Sumner at once.
He was elected to succeed the late
Bishop Scadding, and will come to Ore
gon about January 1.
Since the destruction of St. Helen a
Hall in Portland by fire one of the
Episcopalian institutions has occupied
the residence which was cocupied by
Bishop Scadding Dean Sumner is not
married and It is argued he would not
have use- for the house provided by
the church. It is expected that Port
land will make a fight to retain the
residence of the bishop in that city',
but should the bishop decide his home
nould be in Salem it is believed all
objection will be ended.

of other routine business, the women
discussed the qualifications of the sev
eral candidates for Governor and de
cided to lend undivided effort in be
half of Dr. Withycombe's candidacy.

said that they had known the Repub-
ican candidate for many years and con
sidered him well qualified to handle
the reins of the state government.
In resolution adopted by unanimous

for the fair and impartial stand he has
taken on the several issues entering

into districts and to make a painstak-
ng canvass of all women voters to get
them out on election day. The mem
bers of the club say there Is no doubt
that Roseburg will give Dr. Withy
combe a handsome majority over his

clever enough to discover them in the
half hour's search and neither of the

ASHLAND FOLK HOPEFUL
Southern Oregon Expects Normal
School Will Carry.
"Southern Oregon is expecting a big
affirmative vote on the measure to re
open the Ashland Normal," said Porter
J. Neff. Medford attorney, at the Sew
ard last night. "They believe that the
people of Oregon realize that the state
needs more than one normal school and
that they know that Ashland, where
there is a complete plant lying idle. Is
an Ideal location."
Mr. Nen says that there Is no oppo
sitlon in Southern Oregon to the meas
ures to reopen the normal schools at
Ashland and Weston and that he be
lieves there is but little sentiment in
any part of the state against the pro
posal.

BIG GUMS ARE - MODERN
Chairman of House Committee on
Fortifications Says Only Two
"Weak Spots Remain and They
Are Being Strengthened.
LOUISVILLE. Oct. 28. "The United
States is so well fortified, with the
exception of two points where work
now is in progress, that an attack
from the sea probably never will be
made on any of - these fortifications."
said Representative Sherley in an au
thorized statement here today. Mr.
Sherley is chairman of the House com
mittee on fortifications and is cam
paigning in the Fifth Kentucky Dis
trict, seeking re-election to the House.
"The theory upon which the fortifica
tions have been constructed," said Mr.
Sherley, who led up to the subject
with a discussion of the 17-inch guns
used by the Germans in . Belgium, the
existence of . which he said he
doubted, "is to protect important har
bors from a direct attack by a hostile
fleet. This has been done, except at
San Pedro, Cal., ' where emplacements
for guns are being Duut, ana at tne
mouth of the Chesapeake, where land
has been acquired and estimates
shortly will be submitted for placing
16-lnch guns along with otner arma
ment that should protect that entrance.
'Our guns are of the most modern
pattern," he continuted, "and are
capable of destroying the most modern
superdreadnought. Whether it may be
thought advisable in the- future to pre
pare certain minor defenses in the rear
of our coast fortifications Is a matter
about which there Is some difference
of opinion, and which likely will con
tinue to receive consideration at the
hands of the war college and the gen
eral staff."

Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles
A simple prescription made up of a
combination of pure vegetable oils Is
producing wonderful results for suf
ferers from stomach, liver and intes
tinal troubles. The remedy, which is
said to have originated in Franca,
where It has been used for years by
the peasantry, was introduced into this
country by George H. Mayr, a leading
Chicago druggist, who cured himself of
severe stomach, liver and Intestinal
troubles by its use. Those who have
used it say the first dose is sufficient
to convince any one of its remarkable
merit, and that within twenty-four

Oregon State Board of Dental
Examiners Will Accept
$10,000 Challenge
53S Morgan Building. '
Portland, Oregon. October 21,1914.
Dear Dr. dinger: -
, Secretary Oregon State Board f Dental Examiner. " -
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Dr. Olinger: ' .
Incident to the campaign we are conducting against the Dentistry
Bill, a news story has appeared in one of the local papers in which Dr.
E. R. Parker is quoted as saying that he had "posted a challenge to the
Oregon State Board of Dental Examiners that if public proof Is made
before November 3 that he had failed to pass the examination conducted
by the Board and is not qualified to practice dentistry In the state, he would
pay into the fund the sum of t 10.000 for the relief of the unemployed in
Portland this Winter."
Will you kindly forward to this office a copy of the challenge which
has been sent you and inform us as to the exact status of Dr. E. R.
Parker before the board?
Respectfully yours,
OREGON SOCIETY FOR DENTAL EDUCATION.
Salem, Oregon. October 26, 1914.
OREGON SOCIETY FOR DENTAL EDUCATION.

Gentlemen:
In reply to your favor of October 24. we beg to state that because the
producing of the records of his examination is now a matter before the
courts, we have refrained from publishing any statement concerning the
examination of Dr. E. R. Parker.
N The Oregon State Board of Dental Examiners has received no challenge
from Dr. Parker offering to pay $10,000 into the relief fund of the un
employed of Portland if the Board will produce his examination papers.
Our only Information regarding this "challenge" is a statement In one of
Dr. Parker's paid advertisements, which, of course, is not a bona fide
It being known that there Is a rule of the Board that examination
papers are preserved but one year. Dr. Parker, believing that evidence
of his failure has been destroyed, makes this offer in an advertisement.
If Dr. Parker will ulintr hi nud hlih m.tln. . t.ii
and will send the Governor of Orirnn
used for the purpose he designates, we will accept the challenge and will
produce tbe evidence to prove his failure to pass the examination.
In accordance with your request for Information concerning his status
before the board, we are giving you the following resume of the situa
tion: Dr. E. R. Parker made application and took the examination in June,
1912. and failed to get the required percentage of 75 per cent. He atjain
appeared for examination at the November meeting of the same vear.
but was two days late. Being too late to take the examination in theory,
he demanded that his markings in the theoretical work at the June
examination be given him at this examination. When told that they
were not of a passing grade, he said they were the best he could do
and that he would not take the examination again for anybody. To
favor him he was permitted to take the operative or practical work.
After two days he informed the Board that he had done all the work he
intended to do. and left for his home In California. The rest of the ap
plicants remained and finished the required three days' practical work.
Dr. Parker again appeared for examination in June. 1914. and de
manded that his markings in theory of June. 1912. be given him. and de
clared that he would take the operative examination only. The Board
Informed him that this was a privilege that had not been granted to any
other applicant during the past eight years, except to him at his exam
ination in November, 1912. and that the Board could not see why he
should receive any more favors than any other applicant who desired
to comply with the laws of the State of Oregon. He demanded that a
certificate be given him, and when told that he would have to take the
examination and pass it as others do, Dr. Parker stated that he would
never take another examination, and that he would make every dentist
In Oregon sorry that we had not given him a certificate; that he would
use the Dental Board aa a whipping post, and that the Board's refusal
to give him a certificate was worth ten thousand dollars to him as an
advertising stunt.
Regardless of the threats and demands as stated above, he was not
given a certificate. It was from this date he commenced his unwarrant
ed attacks upon the Board and tbe profession throughout the state, and
placed upon the ballot his proposed law, annulling our present one,
which is very similar to the dental law of every state of the Union.
Yours respectfully,
OREGON STATE BOARD OF DENTAL EXAMINERS,
H. H. OLINGER, Secretary.
