8TOKAXB. Wash.. June 12. (Special.)
Judge. Oanfield. of Colfax, today soothed
the troubled spirits of creditors of the de
funct Palouse Siate Bank by the appoint
ment of the third receiver in eight days,
lie Ih c. W. Waters, of Palouse. Creditors
have opposed other nn-n named because
of personal collections and have succeeded
in removing th?in.
While no showing was made in court on
June A. when J. K. Mcformack. in charge
temporarily. was made permanent re
ceiver, a .storm of protests was made
among the creditors, who alleged that lc
Corniark. who is president of tle rival
Institution, the Security State Bank, had
runnplred with heaviest creditors of the
defi-.net bank to wreck It. On June S he
tendered his resignation, and l". L. Ettin
iter. of Colfax. .McCormack's attorney,
was appointed, and accepted, believing
the bank's business could be wound up
in three months.
Kttliurer went to Palouse Thursday and
held a stormy session with depositors,
who sent a committee to Colfax to de
mand his removal by Judge Canlield. Can
field refused to comply and Rt tinker re
xiKned. Palouse depositors charge that
Judge Canlield had appointed BUinger at
McCormack's solicitation and for that rea
son were opposed to him. Judge Canlield
denies this.
BAKER CITY COMPLAINS
I 'eels Neglected in Passenger Trarfic
to Harney County. .
RAKKR CITY, Or., June 12. (Spe
cial.) Believing this city is not get
ting fair treatment at the hands of
railroads In regard to passenger traf
fic to Burns, an effort Is being- made by
business organizations to prevent ticket
agents froni routing; passengers for
Burns and llurney County hv way of
Vale instead of by way of Baker City.
This develops from complaint of sev
eral strangers, who wanted to reach
the Harney Valley by the shortest and
easiest route. They were ticketed
through Vale and had to ride 135 miles
In a stage on a 36-hour schedule, -when
they could have been sent bv -way of
Kaker City, over the Sumpter Valley
line to Austin and thence to Burn's
with a stag-e ride of 104 miles, consum
ing but 24 hours.
An automobile line operates from
Vale to Burns, but the $20 fare
charged causes many people to take
the horse stage in preference to ex
pending the amount required for auto
service.
Business men here believe these facts
should be stated to prospective travel
ers to the Harney country and then
let the passenger choose his own route.

DRY ROT CAUSE
Campbell Gives Opinion of Cot
tage Grove Wreck.
BRIDGE BADLY DECAYED
Commission . Told Company That
Bridges . Xeeded Strengthen
ing as Long Ago as Au
gust of Last Year.
SALKM. Or, June 12. (Special.)
The report of Railroad Commissioner
T. K. Campbell of the wreck on the
Oregon & Southeastern Railroad, near
Cottage Grove, was submitted to the
Commission today. In the opinion of
Mr. Campbel I t he passengers -were ex
tremely fortunate in escaping -with
their lives, . as the car dropped about
25 feet from, the rails to the bottom of
the stream. 'where it now lies, nearly,
covered with water and the debris of
the bridge. '
The Commissioner found the only
sign of decay to be "a dry rot in the
vicinity of and where tlie truss pierced
the timbers composing the top and bot
tom chords. Continuing, the report
says:
"On August 14. 1908, Commissioner
West inspected this road and made at
report which was afterwards transmit
ted to the Oregon & Southeastern Rail
road Company. In that renort be cnlleri
I the attention of tlie management to
the fact that the bridges and trestles
had reached the age when renewals
were necessary and recommended that,
owing to the heavy logging trains be
ing operated on the road the bridges
and trestles should be carefully
-watched and strengthened until sucii
time as they were renewed. On Sep
tember 17, 1908, the company reported
to the Commission that it had found its
bridges and trestles in good physical
condition, with the exception of one
trestle, which had settled slightly and
which would be raised to grade.
"According to tlie testimony of the
witnesses taken at Cottage Orove, an
inspection was made by tlie company
during the month of September or
October, probably prior to the 17th of
September. In my judgment, if a prac
tical, thorough inspection of this bridge
had been made at that time by the
railroad company, the weakness would
have been disclosed. I found that holes
had been bored in the chords near the
ends, where inspectors might naturally
expect to find decay. The testimony of
the differer.t witnesses shows that they
found the timbers in fair condition at
the points w here tests were made. The
testimony shows that practical tests of
the timbers were not made at or near
the truss rods. where subsequent
events showed weakness existed. I be
lieve that, if this had been done, either
by boring or sounding, the hidden
weakness would have been disclosed.
"This bridge was an uncovered struc
ture ana had been built less than seven
years. If It had been Covered it would
have lasted 20 years. While the oil
that was applied to the joints preserved
the timbers at these points, it was
also applied to the exterior, which
gave the timbers the appearance of
soundness that did not exist, and the
writer believes tended to dry rot the
inside and shorten the .life of the
timber.
There are two more bridges on this
line built about the same time, which
the management has agreed to put
bents under and further strengthen be
fore they again resume heavy traffic."

INDIAN INTERESTS MERGE
DEPAItTMEXT AIMS TO MAKE
RED MEN LIKE WHITE.
Children Are Taught In White
Schools and Elders Arc Learn
ing White Business Ways.
LEW1STON. Idaho. June 12. (Special.)
Under the new plans of administering
the affairs and education of the Indians
on the Government Indian ' reservations,
the interests of the redmen are being rap
idly merged with their white neighbors,
and when patent to the Indian allotments
is issued, it is expected the Indian al
lottee will be fully capable of transacting
his own business. ' '
On the Nez Perce reservation, the days
of the Indian boarding school are rapidly
passiug. and agents of the big Govern
ment schools located at Chemawa. Car
lyle and other points are not allowed to
solicit students within the boundaries of
the reserve. At the present time the
Government is engaged m the construc
tion of a day school, with all educational
advantages near Kamiah on the Clear
water River, and a movement is on fool
to merge the Lapwai agency school into
a rural high school, where the white chil
dren from five surrounding districts will
be educated along with the Indians.
At both these places, the Indian chil
dren will be under the direct supervision
of the agency and only those entirelv free
from disease will be allowed to attend.
The Indian children will be furnished
with their noonday lunch at the school,
where a department of domestic science
will be maintained. Attention as to clean
liness and general sanitation will be
given by the Government officials, and
through the association of the Indian r.nd
white children In the schoolroom, on the
playgrounds and the various departments
of instruction, where horticulture, agri
culture and various trades will be taught,
it is hopeB the stoicism of the coming
generation may be broken down.
The Indians are also being encouraged
to enter into business in competition with
their white neighbors, and at the present
time a number of the Nez Perces are
holding prominent positions in tlie reser
vation stores. At Fort Lapwai. within
the next two weeks, a state bank, with
a capitalization of $15,000. of which $12.
000 was subscribed by the Indians, vrril
be opened. The business will be trans
acted by an Indian cashier. Corbett Law
yer, graduate of the Carlyle School, and a
young man of recognized business ability.
The majority of the directors will be In
dian stockholders but a liberal patronage
will -be enjoyed from the white settlers.
The rentals from the Indian allotment
lands amount annually to $120,000. and
many of the Nez Perce Indians carry
large bank accounts in local banks and
with the Department at Washington. It
is also believed large sums are buried by
the older Indians, who are afraid of the
white man's institutions, but will not
hesitate to bring their wealth to the bank
conducted by their own people.

WATER IS SUITABLE
Oysters Should- Thrive and
Grow in Coos Bay.
BIOLOGIST SO DECLARES
Desires Appropriation to Plant Beds
In Waters Which Once Were
Heavily Stocked With . Bi
valves of tiood Quality.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugerie,
Or., June 12. (Special.) L. R. Alder
man, head of the department of edu
cation, has. just returned from Coos
Bay. where he went to make an address
at the Coos Kay High School com
mencement. 'He brought with him a
number of oyster shells, which are
found in quantities at the bottom of
Coos Bay.- These shells have again
aroused interest at the University
in tin's old oyster bed. Albert It.
Sweet zer, professor of biology at the
University, who is State Biologist, has !
made a study of these beds and speaks !
of them as follows:
While deepening Mie channel in the '
Coos Bay harbor the Government dredge I
uiuiKiiie no uuaniities or s ne is or
pur native oyster. Ostrea lurida. show
ing that One time t illC hh-alvac " I , i
ishe.l in this locality. But at present,
so far as known, there are no living
oysters in tlie bay. There are many I
lih-oii-:s as to tne cause or their de
struction. One is the tradition of the
Indians thai it was brought about by
the great fire which swept over the
Coast.
Whatever the cause, it seems prob
able that it was some sudden and
sweeping catastrophe. The ovster is a
helpless animal, much more so than the
clam.
For a few brief hours after its birth
It swims around througlWthe water, but
having found a suitable place. It home
steads a claim, settles down and begins
to form its shell, and is after that per
manently fixed except as it may be
moved about by the currents or drag
nets, etc. On the other hand, clams
are provided with feet by which they
can move about and more or less ex
tensible siphons by which they can
reach up above the mud in taking in
their pure water and food. Such is not
the case with tlie oyster, and if for
any reason an unusual amount of mud
or silt is deposited upon it. it mav be
smothered to death. Such an event
might have followed the great con
flagration. The large accumulation of
ashes being washed into the rivers and
bsy might have overwhelmed and suf
focated the oyster.
There is every possibility that the
bay might again be restocked with the
native oyster and every chance for
their natural arid rapid increase.
With sucii an object in view, as State
Biologist I have been conducting a
series -if observations during- the past
year and had selected a site upon which
it was planned to plant a considerable
number of the -native oysters during the
coming Fall as an experimental bed.
But certain members of the ; Senate,
with ar. anxiety for economy, saw fit
to cut .iut of the general appropriation
the meager $1000 which has heretofore
been allowed the State Biologist for the
expenses incurred in the work of this
kind. His own lime and labor have
been a gratuity. As the supply of. the
native oysters is rapidly decreasing on
our Coast, it is hoped the succeeding
Legislature may see fit to provide for
the continuance of these experiments,
not only in Coos Bay, but. in others
along the Coast, lor there is every in--dication.of
success in this line.

PROCLAMATION". ,
Advises People to Vote Against Pro
posed $10 0,000 Assessment
- for Street Improvements.
VANCOUVER. Wash., June 12. (Spe
cial.) Mayor Kiggins is opposed to the
is-sue by the city of $100,000 bonds to
raise money with which to make street
improvements, and Issued today a proc
lamation to the citizens urging them to
vote against the proposition.
The City Council on May 17 instruct
ed the City Attorney to make prepara
tions for holding a special election to
vote on the bond issue. The date for
tlie election hasnot. yet been set. but
the Mayor in the meantime is express
ing his disapproval of the project.
When he was elected one of the is
sues in the campaign was as to whether
or not Vancouver should have a muni
cipal water system of its own. and the
itlayor was a strong advocate of the
plan. He Is of the opinion, however,
that if this bond Issue . carries it will
kill the municipal water works project.
The water works improvement to
whicii the Mayor refers in his procla
mation is a 1.500,000-gallon reservoir
which the Vancouver Water Works
Company has just completed on the
heights ease of the garrison.
Following is the Mayor's proclama
tion: To the citizens of Vancouver The
time lies come when the people should
make a. stand against the way that one

mention the fact that some members of
the Council got into that body on the
water platform, but I have the first
time to hear one of them mention any
thing along those lines, but they al
ways help to down any such proposi
tion. They claim we cannot put in
sucii a plant as the proposed Lewis
River project, it being too expensive,
but have not advanced any proposition
which would relieve the water famine
and give us fire protection.
We can put in artesian wells at a.
cost equal to that which the Council
is now trying to bond Ihe citv for,
100.000. for street improvement. I hop
and pray that every voter will vote
against this indebtedness, which will
nian the defeat of our municipal water,
because if w-e vote for $100,000 more to
our present indebtedness, w-e could not
bond the city for the required amount
sufficient to build the plant.
Use your influence to get the water
mains down before the streets are im
proved, and not after, which means
more expense to the propertv-owners.
Defeat tlie $100,000 bond issue by ail
means.
