Iocresse,
The Financier will say:
Th reports of the New Tork Clearlng
buose banks for the week ending April 8.
bssed . on average and actual conditions,
wcr gTeatly at variance with the known op
erations of these Institutions. The banks
really gained about 15.000,000 In cash ns the
result ot thslr operations with the treasury
and the Interior Institutions, but in tha
nctual conditions report the Increase in cflsh.
wss almost negligible, smountlng to 1481.
900. while the report of the daily averages
showed an actual decrease In specie nnd
legsla amounting to 84.781,600. Th banks,
according to the actual condition report,
decreased their loans 82.504.500 and their
deposits y.1.684.30o. while In the average re
port, loans decreased about 12.333.3:13 and
deposits decreased 87.378,500. The result of
these confused changes was that the re
serve In the actual conditions report rose
81.377.975. the surplus standing at 1'7.77.
679. whll In th report of averages, the re
served decreased 32. 936.975, the surplus
stsndlng at 120,478.323.
Probably th explanation of the conflict
ing statements Is found In the summsry of
trust companies and other outside Institu
tions, which showed for the week an ex
pansion of I13.542.3o0 In losns and an In
crease of 818,281. 100 In net deposits, ac
companied by a gain of 83,176,500 In cash.

OYSTER RESERVES SEIZED
State Patrolmen Claim Tldcland
Holders Are Stubborn.
OLYMPIA. Wash., April 8. Special.)
Today, the Attorney-General's office
was notified by the patrolmen on the
state oyster reserves at Mud Bay and
Oyater Bay that the owners of the
adjacent tldelands were tongingr for
seed oysters, although the -Season does
not open until April 17, and that In
addition they ordered him to let them
alone. clalmlnK thdt they owned the
land.
They contend that under the pro
visions of the Miller-Whatcom bill,
passed by the last Legislature, owners
of the tldelands between mean, low
and extreme- low tides acquired con
trol of the state oyster reserve situat
ed In narrow bays - or Inlets. They
claim that In cases where the channel
Is so situated that at extreme low tide
the spit Is bare they own ,the
entire channel and therefore the state
oyster reserves." The state, however,
is not going- to yield and will retaliate
by seeking; an Injunction against the
removal ot seed oysters as well as
Instituting criminal proceedings
against the oyater men for trespass.
The bill in question, which Is chap
ter 3( of the session laws of 1911.
passed both Houses by a large vote and
carried an emergency clause, as it was
explained that It was merely an at
tempt to correct an error made by the
state. If the oyster men win, the
stale's oyster reserves, valued at thou
sands ot dollars, will be practically
lost. The legal fight will probably be
started Monday.

- of Warm Contest.
In a closely contested gam Friday
evening, the Christian Brothers' Col
lece baseball team defeated the Port
land Business College, on the. former's
diamond, by the score of 8 to 7. Du
back, the Christian Brothers' College
pitcher, struck out 17 men. whetstone,
of the ODDOSition nine, was credited
with five strikeouts. In spite of the
suDerior Ditching: of Duback, I'ort
land's few timely hits, coupled with
costly errors on the part of the Chris
tlan Brothers' College boys, secured
for them, by the end of the seventn
inning, the long; end of a 7 to 5 score.
But the tail-end lads did not give up
hope. By a rally in the eighth they
made three runs, thus putting them
selves one in the lead. Portland could
not score again.
