The reason for getting so many prominent doctors In Portland at one time la due to the fact that th Na tional Medical Society holds Its an nual meeting In Los Angeles and the men named have promised to stop off her on their war home.

GANTENBEIN SO DECIDES First National Appeals to Supreme Court In Case) Involving Depos its Left Untouched More Than Seven Tears. National banks operating In Oregon are subject to the state law requiring II deposits In banks, left untouched for seven years, to be turned over to tbe state. This was decided by Presid ing .Judge Gantenbeln of the btate Circuit Court yesterday morning, in the ease of th btate of Oregon against tbe First Nstional Bank of Portland. The ault filed against the bank was for the purpose of compelling It to turn over to the state fS8S.l&, made up of various deposit credits left In the bsnk seven years or more. The bank had refused to surrender the money, alleging that as It waa a National bank It could not be made subject to the laws of the state In that regard. The attorneys for tbe bank filed no tic of appeal to th state Supreme Court. Judge Gantenbeln quoted from deci sions of the United States Supreme Court that National banks are subject to state laws, unless the state laws In some way conflict with the Federal functions of the bank. The bank had filed a demurrer which was decided yesterday. The court founded Its decision In part on the following from a decision of the United States Supreme Court In j National Banks vs. Commonwealth: "The most Important agents of the Federal Oovernment are Its officers, and no one will contend that when a man becomes an officer of the Gov ernment he ceases to be subject to the laws of tbe state. The principle we are discussing has Its limitations; a limitation growing out of the necessity on which the principle Itself Is found- at- Barbara A. Bailer, Pertlaadj Mrs. j A. Wells, Prtlad Job. W.

As to price we ask only that you call and satisfy yourself. And please remem ber this ; that when you bu', house furnishings from us you pay competitive prices for tho merchandise only while for the style, the exclusiveness,-tho expert and special service you pay nothing. Stark Q ed. That limitation Is that the agent cles of the Federal Government are only exempted from state legislation so far as the legislation may Interfere with or Impair their efficiency in per forming the functions by which they are designed to serve that Government. Any other rule would convert a princi ple founded alone in the necessity of securing to tbe Government of the United States the means of exorcising Its legitimate powers Into an unauthor ized and unjustifiable invasion of the rights of the states." In concluding his decision. Judge Gantenbeln said: "I am unable to see any probability that a compliance with the Oregon law will In any manner Interfere with or Impair tbe efficiency of the defend ant banking association in performing the functions by which it Is designed to serve the Government. It follows that the demurrer should be overruled and It is as ordered." LIBRARY SITE IS OFFERED Rose City Park Property Owner Is First One to Respond.

Judge Knowles Holds That Town of Joseph In Anti-Wet County Erred In Licensing Saloon. Should the Supreme Court of Oregon agree with the construction placed on the home rule amendment by Judge Knowles. of Wallowa County, it will bo necessary for a special election be held In every Incorporated city and town in "dry" counties before It will be legal to allow the sale of Intoxicating llquora. D. Soils Cohen and Thomas O'Day, at torneys who have been in close touch with the amendment from proposal to ad option, are Inclined to agree with Judge Knowles that the amendment does not become automatically operative In cities or towns situated In local option counties. Judge Knowles held-that the City Coun cil of Joseph, in Wallowa County, "dry" territory, had no right to license a saloon In that city, and upheld the Indictment returned against the ltcenee bolder. "My understanding of the amendment Is that towns and cities in local option counties must vote on the question." said Mr. Cohen. "I cannot see why it would , become automatically operative under such circumstances and I believe the Supreme Court will take this view of the question. A City Council has not.

CO Fifth In a town or city in 'dry territory be fore the voters have expressed their pref erence In the matter. It must be re membered that the local option law was In force and the amendment was not when these counties voted "dry." " Judge O'Day, although he had not ex amined closely into the question, gave an off-hand opinion that Judge Knowles" construction Is reasonable and will prob ably be upheld. "I believe that It would be presumed that the county local-option law having been In force and the home-rule amend ment not In force when these counties went "dry." the voters of the Incorporated cities and towns within these- counties will have to vote on the question of licenses or no license in accordance with the home-rule amendment," said Attor ney Day. "At first glance I was inclined to be lieve that a City Council micht have the right, in the capacity of representing the people, to make the amendment op erative, but a more nmture considera tion of the situation dispels that view."
