I 10 THE SUNDAY OKEGOyiAN, OBTLASD, SEPTEMBEK 28, 190Z. 1 YOUTHS 00 TO JAIL Charge of Horse-Stealing Against Them. ALL AVER THEIR INNOCENCE Accused of Rounding Up Animals Near Xorttt Yakima, Shipping Them, to Portland nnd Sell ing Them. Charles Hart, Oelrlch Hanan and Fred Bickel, each about 13 years old, were locked up in the County Jail yesterday morning on a charge of horse-stealing at North Yakima two weeks ago. They are accused of having stolen 27 head of horses from the range, valued at about $40 each. The animals were loaded on cars and brought to Portland, and were then driv en by the trio over the canyon road and to Sherwood, Washington County, where the young men were arrested by Consta ble George Hagey and E. "W. Johnson. On Thursday last, Henry Ohlstadt, who alleges that 14 horses and five colts were stolen from his ranch, arrived in Port land and reported " his loss to Sheriff Storey. That official advised him to send telegrams to points adjacent to this city nnd await answers. Yesterday the news of the recovers- of the horses and arrest of the young fellows was received. Ohl otadt states that one of the horses was killed, and that four of them were eold at Arlington. The prisoners deny having stolen the horses. They say they purchased them, and that when they reach North Yakima they can prove it. Hart and Bickel have also stated that they were employed by Hansen to travel with him and sell the stock. Yesterday afternoon It was re ported that Attorney Charles A. Pctraln would file a habeas corpus petition In the Interest of Hart, Bickel and Hansen, but he "had not done so when the courts ad journed yesterday at 5 o'clock. HOW TO BUILD GOOD ROADS Convention Will Be Held, nt Which Worlc Will Be Shown. The good roads convention will be held In Portland. October 14-15. This date has been set by James TV.. Abbott, commis sioner of the good roads train which Is now at Grand Forks, N. D. Owing to the unwillingness of the railroads to bring the train any further "West, the train will re turn to St. Paul. The object of the convention will be to give demonstration in road construction. The demonstrators are in the service of the Government. The Chamber of Com merce of this city has requested the County Commissioners to provide a half mile stretch of road for the demonstra tion, and to furnish the required workmen. Beall & Co., of this city, have offered to furnish the machinery for the road con struction. In a letter to the Chamber of Commerce the company says: "If it is not possible to Induce the good roads train to come here during the good roads convention to be held here In Oc tober, we would be pleased to furnish a rock-crusher, grader, roller and other road making machinery to be used during the convention, free of charge, provided we can know 30 days In advance, so we can have the goods here." MORE HOTELS NEEDED. Portland Mnt Prepare to House Great Crowds at Fair. The Lewis and Clark Fair will require more hotels than Portland has now. The hotels are already doing a business which is cramped whenever an unusually large number of visitors come to the city, for example to attend public conventions. How to get adequate hotel accommoda tions Is likely to be one of the problems of the Exposition, as It Is already thb problem of the advocates of the G. A, R. Encampment. The fact Is quite appar ent that Portland Is .fast outgrowing its hotel facilities. A hotel man said yesterday that to build and furnish a first-class hotel, such as Is needed, would cost about $300,000. "It should have about 250 rooms," said he. "I know of no better Investment. It would pay handsomely and with the right man at the head of it would return 5 or 6 per cent. No Investment yields surer re turns than does that In a hotel, when the business Is rightly located." The speaker was a man of many years experience In the business, and at his re quest his name Is withheld. The Portland Hotel has about 350 rooms, the Perkins about 165 and the Imperial about 150. STILL KEEPS SILENCE. Governor-Elect Chnmberlnin Will Not DitfctiHH Fair Appropriation. Governor-elect Chamberlain, wher ask3 yesterday for his opinion about the ap propriation that will be asked from the legislature, continued the policy -which he has maintained heretofore, and de clined to say anything for publication at present Tie said that he was keeping silent about such matters pertaining to the office of Governor until he should be Inaugurated. Mr. Chamberlain's friends, however, jsay that no doubt exists as to his friendli ness to the Fair. It is well known among them that he will do all for the Exposi tion that his position as Governor will consistently allow. The money which the Legislature ap propriates will be expended under the ad ministration of a state commission, which will probably be named by Mr. Chamber lain, who will, then be Governor. This commission will probably Include mem bers of the Lewis and Clark board of di rectors. Mr. Chamberlain Intimated yes terday that he would favor this close re lation between the commission and the board of directors. Three Versions of the Punching. Peter Demerlc, John Nelson and Charles McCarty told different stories yesterday in the Municipal Court of the fight in which they were- mixed up in a Second street Ealoon. "I was In the saloon at tending to my own business, when Nelson came up and offered to fight me for the drinks. I refused, but we got mixed up on the floor, and McCarty showed what he could do In the way of punching," ex plained Demerlc Nelson testified: "That's not it. I challenged Demerlc to punch the punchlng-bag. and told him that the man who got the highest number.of marks would get the drinks, but instead of punching the bag, Demerlc punched me." "I was peacemaker, and all I know is that I tried to pull the men apart, and got the worst of It," said McCarty. Munici pal Judge Hogue said that the testimony differed so much that the case would be continued for further evidence. Mnltnoraah Institute a Model. In a letter to County Superintendent Robinson, Professor T. L. Heaton, of the University of California, who was one of the instructors In the recent county teachers' institute, asks that he be sent a number of copies of the programme of the Multnomah Institute, saying that he con. Eldered It a good model for the larger ln stltutes. He also asks for copies of the attendance card arranged for the use of the local Institute, which proved so val uable as a means of keeping a record of NEW DIRECTORY READY the hours of attendance, as required by the present law. Professor Heaton says he has already begun to advocate Port land as the meeting place of the Natlonil Educational .-Association in 1904, and he asks whether the city has an assembly hall with a seating capacity of 5000, and smaller halls for sectional work. The registration system used in the Multno mah Institute has been adonted bv Suner- tntendent Hartranft for the schools of SHi,urba Fm Vp So Fast That People King County, Washington. Professor .

HOUSE XeTr Congregational Pastor Warmly Greeted The event of the week in this city, at least In church circles, was the reception to Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Elwln L, House last Wednesday evening, In the parlors of the First Congregational Church, from 8 to 11. The several rooms were most j handsomely and profusely decorated with ivy, ferns and flowers, and the effect was Move Into Tfew Honses Soon as Roof Is Oa. The new city directors', which has been In preparation since March last, will be delivered this week. According to an of ficial estimate, based upon the enumera tion In the new volume, the population of Portland. Is 113,765, an Increase of more than" 0000 over the population of last year. The new directory is naturally much larger than the book In present use, and presents a more attractive appearance than the familiar black and green volume. The "backbone," as it is called, is in solid red, while the lettering on the sides of PORTLAND'S GREETING Portland Invites the world to participate In the centennial gath ering that will be held here In 1905. The event will be made com r memoratlvo of the Lewis and Clark journey of exploration to Oregon in 1805. "Peace and prosperity at home, and good-will toward all the world besides,", is the greeting that Portland people at this time send to Oregon's eleter states of the Union, to the Province of British Co lumbia, to whose best interests the Pacific Coatst States- are commit ted as the direct result of close neighborly intimacies, and to the in telligent people of all nationa The Louisiana Purchase and the settlement of the Northwest boundary, by which settlement title to all of what was known early in the 19th century as the Oregon Territory placed the United States in the front rank as a coming world power. As a contribution to the Nation's expansion pollcj, the acquirement of Oregon Territory wag o more Importance even than the Louisiana Purchase. With the re linquishment of the French title to Louisiana, the Mississippi River was opened to navigation, from its headwaters' to tl.e Gulf of Mexico. "With the settlement of the Northwest boundary between tho United States and the British Provinces, a territory was added to the Na tional domain greater In extent than is contained within the limits of all the original states on the Atlantic Seaboard, The command of the great Oriental trade, which the United States is in the best po sition to control, will build up on the tidewaters of the Pacific Ocean some of the most populous and richest cities of the Union. Portland's people have already subscribed over $350,000 to fur ther the interests of the 1805 Fair. A Fair site has been selected, and plans are formulated that will insure the success of this great Na tional event. The greatest success of the 1905 Fair will be the keynote of the New Year's number of The Oregonlan for 1903. What this Fair will' be. the historic lesson it will teach. Its claims on the attention for recognition of all the United States, will be told in amcclnct and forc ible manner in the New. Year's number. Incidental to this treatise will follow the story of Portland's growth, of Oregon's development, written in a way to command the greatest popular recognition. The New Yeor's Oregonlan always claims the best attention of representative newspapers throughout the country. In point of gen eral attractiveness and in the excellence of its subject-matter the New Year's issue of The Oregonlan for 1903 that will be published on the first day of January next will not suffer by a comparison with any previous annual number. charming In the extreme, the apartments being converted Into a veritable bower of Eden. As the members of the church and many friends of the church In the city assembled dellghtiul music was dis coursed by the Wilder orchestra. The Introduction committee, composeS" of Rev. and Mrs. D. B. Gray. Mr. and Mrs.- D. D. Clarke, Dr. and Mrs. W M. Cake. Mr. W. D. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen G. Smith. Mr. and Mrs. A H. Harding, Mr. H. S. Lewis and Rev. j. J. Staub, wore on the alert to give "the hand of welcome to every one who came In. All were then presented to Dr. and Mrs. House by the reception committee, composed of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Thomp son, Mrs. Frederick Eggert, Mr. Louis Rice, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Bell, Judge and Mrs. J. B. Cleland. Judge M. C. George and Mrs. S. D. Smith. After an hour of salutation and social converse, the formal exercises of the evening began with a special selection by the orchestra and a brief invocation "by Rev. Robert M. Jones. Mr. Charles H. 3aylord acted as chairman. Then an address of wel come on behalf of the Congregational churches of Oregon was given by Rcv. Cephas F. Clapp, superintendent of the Congregational Home Missionary work for the state. He was followed with a baritone solo by Mr. Dom Zan. which was so enthusiastically encored that he responded with a second number. A wel come was then extended to Dr. House on behalf of the "ministers of the city by Rev. Alexander Blackburn, of the First Baptist Church. At this point a tenor solo was rendered by Mr. Lauren S. Pease, which received- a most hearty en core, whereupon a second number was given. Then a general word of greeting was given by Rev. Dr. Thomas L. Eliot, of the Unitarian Church. In the course of his remarks he referred to his own advent In Portland, 35 years ago, and to the kindly reception given him by Rev. George H. Atkinson, then pastor of this church. Then a solo by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer was announced, which she ren dered In her best style and drew forth an encore, which did not cease until she responded. Charles L. Fay was then called upon to give an address of welcome on behalf of the church. In doing this, he pledged the hearty co-operation ot the church in every way necessary to build up its influence for good. Dr. House, being called upon, responded In grateful words for the enthusiastic and hearty greetings he had received, and declared that he felt that It was an ear nest of -what was In store for the church and that by mutual co-operation great good might be accomplished. Then the' last number, the partaking of light re freshments, closed the programme. The attendance was very large, but the La dles' Aid Society, under whose auspices the reception was given, had made pro vision for all. A number of the clergy from other churches, as well as members, were present, and all -were made fo feel at home. Thus a most delightful evening was spent, and it was one fraught with much good to the moral well-being of the city as an aggressive and capable min ister of the gospel is In this wise fairly Initiated Into his field of labor, with such heartiness on the part of his own peoplo and cordiality on the part of the repre sentatives of other Christian forces In the city.

All the work of printing and binding is done In Portland, although much of It could be done by Eastern con cerns at a lower figure than the local men can allow. The work of the directory Includes not only every part of tho city proper, but also the suburbs east to Russellvllle, 'southeast to Chicago and Tremont, and north as far as St. Johns. Some of these suburbs have Increased In population mar velously since the canvass of last year. Montavilla, or Mount Tabor Villa, as It was formerly called, was largely built during boom times, and when the depres sion of nine years ago fell upon the com munity, may of the houses were vacated and stood empty and deserted until the Spring of this year, wben stjores of them were repaired and occupied at once. In some districts within the city limits the canvassers found families living in un finished houses, or even tents. Often ele gant furniture would be piled on a rough board floor, for the completion of the roof was, In many case, a signal for the removal into the new home. "I really cannot give you the cost of compiling our directory," said Mrs. Ella J. Clinton, the manager of the Portland branch of the directory eomnnnv. "The Items of expense arc so numerous that it, -i .. .... nuutu lune uics io compute it, Dut you can safely say that it is enormous. We spohd a little more than Is necessary by having all of the work done In Portland. For Instance, the covers could be made and printed In St. Paul for 3 .cents apiece less than we pay here. The amount re ceived from the sale of the books docs not pay the total cost, and if it were not for the advertisement pages we should conduct the business at considerable loss. Our advertisement soliciting is done by men who give that their entire attention and travel from city to city, where the directors Is published by R. L. Polk & Co. It Is the prosperity of the present year that has delayed us In getting out the directory, for men to take residence Information could hardly be obtained. There is, of course, much more advertis ing than last year, for every business is more prosperous." O'Connor Now Has the Dog:. The ownership of an English setter dog puzzled Justice Reid yesterday. The dog was latterly In the possession of Ar thur Paulsen, and the latter was arrested for larceny of the dog on the complaint of John O'Connor, who insisted that he was the real owner. The Judge and Deputy District Attorney Manning agreed that the evidence did not show that any body's ownership in the dog had been established, and that there was no proof that Paulsen had committed larceny. Paulsen waa discharged, and he said as he walked off: "O'Connor, let us see whom the dog will follow." "All right," agreed O'Connor. The dog followed tho two young men to the sidewalk readily enough, nd O'Connor suddenly fastened a rope around the dog's neck and said: "I have got the dog. Now, If you want him you can start a replevin suit. Ta-ta." Slide Wrecks O. R. & if. Freight. By a slide on the O. R. & N. at Dpdson's Siding, near Bonneville, Friday night, several cars of a freight train were half burled, but fortunately no ono was hurt. Details of tho slide have not been received, but from Information obtained it appears that there was little damage excepting that caused by the Interruption of traffic. The passenger trains were dis patched late, and the passengers were transferred around the pile-up. A force of men, under tho direction of Superin tendent p'Brlcn, Is employed In removing the dirt from the track, and It Is thought that the line will bo open by this morning.

The bank deposits of the people of the United States aggregate fS.DOO.OOO.OOO, an average of ?10S per capita. Ten years ago they aggregated $4,232,000,000, or just half the amount of today, and 20 years ago they -were ?2,600,000,000, or a little more than one-quarter of those of today. These figures are presented In a table Just prepared by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics for publication In the forth coming Issue of Its monthly summary of commerce and finance. They are com piled from the reports of the Controller of the Currency, and Include the deposits in National banks, savings banks, state banks, loan and trust companies and prl- j vate banks, and cover the official figures of the year 1901.

An analysis of rome deposit figures of each class of banks is interesting, and in cases may be carried back over a much longer term of years. The published fig ures cover tho deposits in certain classes of banks at a much earlier date than that covered by the reports upon loan and trust companies and private banks. The individual deposits in National banks, for example, grew from $500,000,oq0 in 1SC3 to $518,000,000 in 1875; $1,111,000,000 In 18S5; $1,720,000,000 in 1S95. and $2,937,000,000 In 1901 to $3,111,000,000 in 1902. For savings banks the figures extend back, to the year 1S20. and show the total deposits in that year at $1,138,576; in 1S30. $fi.K73,S04; in 1S10. J14.051.520; in 1S50. 543.4J1. 120; 1860, $149,277,504; 18S0. $S19,106,973; 1890, $1,524,841,506, and in 1901. $2.597.094.5S0. For -state banks the figures extend back to 1840, and show for that year total do posits to tho value of $75,693,857; 1850, $109, 5S6.595; I860. $257,229,562; 1S80, $20S.751,611; 1S90, $553,054.5S4, and 1901. $1,610,502,246. For loan and trust companies the fig ures begin with the year 1S75. and show deposits for that year at $85,025,371; in 1SS0, rJO.C0S.O03; 1S90, $536,456,492, and 1901, $1,271, 0S1.174. The figures of deposits In private banks aro complete, from 1S75 to 1882, by reason of the fact that deposits In such banks were taxed during that period, and. there fore, returns were complete; but on the repeal of the law placing a tax on such deposits, only about one-fourth of the total number of private banks continued to make reports to the Controller of tho Currency. The figures for private bank deposits subsequent "to 1SS7 are, therefore, materially less than those of the period 1S75-82, when complete returns were avail able. In 1875 the figures were $321,100,000; MEN MEN DR. TALCOTT & CO. 250 Alder Street, The Leading Specialists ot the Coaxt.
