OFFICERS ELECTED LAST NIGHT BY PORTLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Luna and Discount Are Indicated as About 13,000,000 In Estimate for 15 Houses. Some Portland hanks show gains and others losses In deposits in their state ments, issued in response to the call of the Controller of the Currency for sta tistics on their condition May 1. as com pared with the nearest statement last year, which was on June 30. For the past year Portland banks show a loss in deposits of about $900,000. This la not regarded by Portland bankers as anything but what mlsht have Men expected, however, and many express surprise that the loss is so light, considering the period of stress that has come since last June. At that time there was no war in Europe, and the rumble of the approaching conflict had not yet had its effect upon indus trial or banking conditions. Combined resources of 15 Portland banks are In the neighborhood of $82, 000,000, as disclosed in their statements. Deposits approximate $66,000,000, while loans and discounts are about $43,000, 000.

Thirteen candidates for Queen of the Rose ' Festival are now in the field. When there are 15 candidates the Fes tival Board expects to arrange for the beginning of the balloting. One of the candidates. Miss Marjorte Pike, was obliged to withdraw from the race Monday, and another withdrew yester day, and this cut the total down to 10 candidates, but three new candidates appeared Yesterday afternoon. The woodmen of the world are still considering the nomination of a candi date, and probably will make their an nouncement today. Miss Martha Schultz, of 6303 Sixty- second avenue Southeast, was nomi nated yesterday by the Behnke-Walker Business College. She is a student in that college, and the effort will be made to line up its alumni and their friends into a strong organization to support her for election. Miss Vivien F.k, of Klllingsworth and East Forty-sixth street, was the second nominee yesterday. She was put up by the employes of the Honeyman Hard ware Company, and this strong or ganization hopes to be able to line up mliated bodies strongly to her sup port. Miss Mary Lawlor was announced late yesterday as the nominee of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The Ad Club will consider the nomi nation of a new candidate to succeed Miss Pike today. It Is thought the admen may Indorse and throw their support to Miss Marian Spoeri, the can didate of the Rotary Club, and a djle gation of Rotarians will maKe that sug gestion to the Ad Club at its meeting. The North Bank Railroad candidate. Miss Pauline Heintze, withdrew yester day. The employes of the railroad com pany belong to one or more of the other organizations which have Queens en tered, and decided It best to withdraw their individual choice as a result.

Mara, Director of Streets and Puollc Improvement, says that Dono van took two of the best and left only cripples in tha barn. Donovan was summoned before the Council recently. He stated that the .horses ha had taken were worthless and that one had to be shot. Mara avers they were the best to be had. Police are investigating. K . , ' ' i . ? ' & - 1 Above C.

SCHOOL FETE IS TODAY1 BOUNTY PAID ON HEADS Collector Says They" Are From Hauks and Is Arrested. LEBANON. Pa., April 27. William Stock, of York, is in the- Lebanon Jail under 42 charges of perjury and false pretense arising from his alleged ac tion of passing oft on Lebanon Alder men and Justices of the Peaea ahlcken beads for hawks, rabbit heads for those of young foxes and rat heads for those of weasels, and collecting state boun ties amounting to $512. Stock began his operations here early In 1914 and was successful for a time, but he made a fatal mistake when he selected as the date for his alleged biggest capture in Union Township the night of a severe storm. Clerk R- B. Light. 6f the County Com missioners, had been suspicious of Stock's claims against the county and had sent forth a warning to Aldermen and justices to be sure of the Iden tity of the heads produced by Stock. After a consultation with the County Commissioners, they finally refused to pay Stock's last claim of $264 and caused his arrest. Conversation at a Concert. Exchange.

Glad to Recommend Fruitola and Traxo Mrs. Norforlh Sajw She Suffered With Call-stone for Several Years Without Relief. In a letter to the Pinus laboratories, Mrs. Rosa Norforth. Montlcello, 111., says: "I cannot praise Fruitola and Traxo too highly, as I consider It saved my life. I suffered with gallstones for several years and could not get any re lief until your preparation was recom mended to me. It has been six months since I took the last bottle and X feel that I am entirely well. Have anyone doubting the merit of your preparation write me, as I will be only too glad to recommend Fruitola and Traxo to any one suffering from gall-stones. Fruitola and Traxo are the names used to Identify two preparations that are taken In combination. Fruitola acts on the Intestinal organs as a pow erful lubricant, seftanlng congested masses and disintegrating the hard ened particles that cause so much suf fering, and expelling tha accumulation with almost Instant relief. Traxo is a splendid tonlo, acting en the liver and stomach with most beneficial results and is recommended In connection with Fruitola to build up and restore the system that has become run down and. &$C.rt -.7 --iC,'"."--4.j ' ; A :f "vV5:,; t 7 iV Z ': , . ) MRS.

In the files of the Pinus laborstorles at Montlcello, III., are many letters gratefully acknowledging the satisfac tory results following the use of Fruitola and Traxo. Arrangements have been made for the distribution of these excellent remedies by leading drug stores every where. In Portland Fruit ola and Traxo can be obtained at tbe tores of the Owl rrug Company,
