Montle (Ax In. of Pendleton,
1 8 Chosen President.
SAT.EM. Or.. Juno 27. (Special.) The
5 tat ft Bankers Association closed its
annual session this forenoon and ad
journs In oroVr to enjoy launch rides on
the Willamette River as guests of the
Paleni hankers. At the session today
Montle Gwinn. of the Pendleton Savings
Hank, was elected president, and. though
it wns not definitely deckled. It is prac
tically ccitain that the next meeting will
re held al Seattle during the A. V. P.
Fair. The plan is to have the Washing
ton. Idaho and Oregon associations hold
a. joint meeting in 190i.
Today's session was' devoted chiefly to
hearing reports from the several coun
ties, these reports being made orally and
conveying in a general way an idea of
the financial and Industrial conditions
of the various parts of the state. With
out exception. the hankers reported
prosperous business conditions, due to
the success of Industrial enterprises,
particularly the various branches of agri
culture, horticulture and stockraising.
Probably in no other section of the
I'nited States would the bankers give as
glowing in account of financial condi
tions today as was heard here in Salem
at the meeting of the State Bankers' As
sociation. Readiness of the people to
nitiKe new investments in property, per
manent improvements or new enterprises
Is everywhere apparent.

down the Snake River, the Northern
Pacific has issued orders for the in
stallation of 72-pound steel on that
portion of the Lewiston line between

miles. Howell is at the head of the
Kendrick grade, and with the heavier
steel installed to that point important
improvements on the Kendrick hill
section of the line will follow. It is
the Intention of the company to have

first-class shape by the date of the
completion of the Riparia-Pasco sec
tion of the Northern Pacific, which will
give the company a water-grade route
all the way to Portland, thus avoiding

WOUNDED MAN MAY DIE
1. A. Harris, of the Georgia, Is Phil.
A. Becker's Victim B. .1. Harvey,
Gunner's Mate of Connecticut,
Also Gets Bullet In Row.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27 As a re
sult of a shooting affray in a Market
street saloon tonight hetween sailors
of the Atlantic battleship fleet, two
men were wounded, ore of them so se
riously that he may die. H. A. Harris,
hospital steward on the Georgia, Is
the man dangerously injured, while B.
J. Harvey, chief gunner's mate on the
Connecticut. is the other victim.
Philip A. Becker, boatswain's mate on
the JlUnois. did the shooting.
In oompany with J. Francis Gun
ning, a 19-year-old member of the
crew oi the cruiser Brooklyn, Becker
entered the saloon and ordered whisky
for both. Harris and Harvey, who were
standing at the bar. objected to Becker
allowing Gunning to drink whisky.
Harris spoke to Becker and also re
quested the bartenders to .refuse to
serve the youth. When a second round
was ordered Gunning was not given
whisky.
Bocker and Gunning left and within
a short time returned. As he entered
the place Becker drew a revolver and
said that Harris would not insult hifn
again. Without further warning he
opened lire. Two bullets struck Harris,
one penntrating the left breast. Becker
then fired two shots at Harvey, one
bullet pbercing his Jaw.
Harris1 and Harvey were hurried to
the emergency hospital and later Har
ris was taken to the Georgia, where
an operation was performed.
Becker and Gunning left the scene
of the shooting and visited a number
of other saloons before they were
caught by detectives detailed on the
case. They wre taken to the hospital,
where they were identified by their
victims. Harris admitted the shoot
ing and said Gunning had no hand in
the affair.
BRING ABOUT RATE PUNK
RESO.T DUE TO AVOUK OF RAIL
ROAD COMMISSIONS.
Oregon and Washington State
Boards Secure Action by Re
publican Convention. .
OI.TMPIA. Wash., June 27. (Special.)
The Railway Commissions of Wash
ington and Oregon are the originators
of the plank in the Republican National
platform which, when incorporated into
law, will' absolutely prevent the railways
from raising rates as the roads have at
tempted to do with respect to North
western lumber.
This fact is of particular Interest Just
at this time, when a determined effort
is being made in some quarters to convey
the impression that the Washington Rail
road Commission has done absolutely
nothing for the benefit of the lumbering
interests of the state.
The fact that the. lumber traffic of
Washington Is largely interstate and
therefore largely beyond the Jurisdiction
of the Commission, has. of course, pre
vented the State Commission from taking
any action with- respect toward forcing
lower rates on that commodity.
But at the annual session last year of
the National Association of Railroad
Commissioners the Washington State
Commissioners brought up and carried
through that convention the adoption of
a resolution which has now been Incor
porated in the Republican National plat
form. In effect, the association and the Na
tional convention are on record favoring
the law, an amendment to the interstate
act, which will provide that no increase
of an Interstate rate shall be permitted
to go Into , effect until opportunity has
been given for protest to be made, and if
such protest Is made for a hearing and
determination by the Commission that
the- proposed rate Is reasonable.
The printed report of the minutes of
the National association, pages 76 to 80
inclusive, shows that this matter was
first brought up by Mr. Aitchlson. Rail
road Commissioner of Oregon, who point
ed out how the lumber business had been
paralyzed by the increased rates. Com
missioners Fairchild. Jones and Law
rence took part earnestly in the discus
sion, answering questions ot other dele
gates and silencing the objections urged
at the meeting on behalf of some of the
yellow pine shippers. They were the only
ones who spoke in favor of the resolution.
While this law. If framed, will absolute
ly prevent any repetition of the lumber
situation.' the legislation proposed is so
broad in its scope that it will apply to
all classes of commodities.
SHIPYARD GOES BANKRUPT
Sudden Change of Receiver for Dic
kie & Son at Raymond.
RAYMOND. Wash., June 27. (Special.)
A surprise was sprung Tuesday on Mayor
Little, recently appointed receiver for the
John W. Dickie & Son Company by Judge
Rice, and the local creditors of the firm,
when the United States Court appointed
Sol Krledenthal, -of the Schwabacher firm,
temporary receiver nd issued a restrain
ing order directing Mr. Little to give the
management of affairs over to the new
appointee.
Mr. Friedenthal's agent, Mr. Gottsteln,
arrived here at once and the matter was
referred to Judge Rice of the Superior
Court. He Issued an order certifying the
proceedings of the Federal court, with an
idea of giving both sides a hearing. Im
mediately the Seattle creditors again ap
peared before the United States Court
compelling Judge Rice to Issue an order
directing -M,r. Little to turn the receiver
ship over to Mr. Gottsteln. He Is bow
In charge and the firm will go through
bankruptcy proceedings.
Mr. Little represents local creditors
holding claims for J34.000 against the ship
yard, while the aggregate claims of the
three Seattle firms, Schwabacher Bros.,
Gorham Rubber Company and Moran
Bros., amounts to only $1700. Future pro
ceedings depend a great deal on the ac
tion the creditors will take. Work at
the shipyard, where a large boat is under
construction, has been suspended.
