FIGHT HARBOR BILL HEAVY DEMAND Great Cash Reserves Built Up to Finance Crop Movement and New Federal System. VOLUME OF LOANS IS LESS Deposits or Portland Institutions In crease Slightly but Position Is Hegarded as Indication of Conservative Management. Preparations for moving the 191 prain and fruit crops and for the formal organization of the X eaerai re serve svstem now are demanding- the attention of the Portland banks, as the recent report to the Controller of the Currency indicates. Cash reserves now are unusually heavy. They are far in excess of the legal requirement. This rerieeis me conservative methods of the Portland financial institutions and indicates their strength. The National banks hold reserves of nearly 40 per cent. while the legal requirement is only a Ter cent. While deposits, due to demands f Other business enterprises, nave u creased slightly, loans have gone down with them, leaving banks here well pre pared for the heavy cash drains that doubtless will be made by this year's harvest The National banks soon will be called upon to make their first -payment into the treasury of the new re serve bank about to be organized at San Francisco. They are preparing for this transfer of funds by assembling cash in their own vaults and building up balances in the central reserve cities upon which they can draw when the money is needed. This year's wheat crop doubtless will be the heaviest in the history of the Northwest. Indications are that It will exceed the record output of 1912 by 10 per cent. To handle all this grain will require a tremendous amount of money. The Portland bankers know it, and have prepared for it, as the following cash balances of ten of the leading banks of the city prove: Cash on Hand and Due.

EUGENE, Or., July 4. (Special.) A scathing denunciation of the Demo cratic Administration was the declara tion of nrinclDles adopted by the Re publican party in Lane County last night. Our timber industry is dead, it de clares. "Timber can be bought lor less than the lowest prices during the panic of 1907-8. The removal of the duty on shingles has resulted in the importa tion of 1485 cars of Canadian shingles during the first four months of the present free-trade policy, as against the former average of 200 cars a year under protective tariff. The price to the farmer on his Dut- terfat has decreased 20 per cent under competition iwith New Zealand, Aus tralia and Argentina, made possible by KATHLYN WILLIAMS IN NEW PART AT HEILIG Actress of Wild Animal Films Portrays Cherry Mallotte in "The Spoilers" Bessie Eyton as Helen Chester Is Sweet and Lovely. A. ! i ' " - , - "'" ' IATHLYN "WILLIAMS needs no in- troduction to the lovers of the si- lent drama. She has been for the paast three years identified with all the great Selig wild animal productions and her courage has been envied in every country in the world. She now comes to the people or Portland in an entirely different part. She will be seen the week of July 5 at the Heilig Theater as Cherry Mallot, in W. N. Se ng's production and visualization of Rex Beach's famous novel, "The Spoil ers." Miss Williams exemplifies a class of American womanhood that has gone down to make history in the character she portrays In this wonderful drama. Cherry Mallot is by far the best thing Miss Williams has ever done, even in her questionable position and line of activity in far-away Alaska. She wins the sympathy of her audience and re tains it until the last scene, when she BiiaUy succumbs to the pleadings of it - $&&it i -ri--w,4 v.. , v T to;..- gives this as her reason for 'Studying to fit herself as a school teacher.

' Comparison of Mrs. Chloe Boone Curry's log school with the magnifi cent 8-room Jefferson High School building shows the rapid advancement of education in Oregon. At the time Governor and Mrs. Curry crossed the plains to Oregon, in 1846. there w.ere a few of the old missions in the state where studies were con ducted in the Spanish tongue.

Chinese eggs have de moralized this Industry. The importa tion of woolen goods, Important Ore gon product, has increased $25,000,000 during the first four months of free trade. An Increase of all imports has followed the present Democratic policy. In the first four months the increase on cattle was 324 per cent; corn, 3225 per cent; oats, 46,380 per cent; meat, 787 per cent, and butter, 858 per cent. "The last primary election cost the taxpayers of the state approximately $200,000. a sum more than sufficient to pay the annual salaries of all the state officials," the declaration con tinues, referring to local issues. "It has not only proven expensive, but has been a complete failure in many re spects, candidates submitting them selves for preferment before the people and not bound by the vote of the peo ple, as evidenced by the independent candidacy of Mr. Lafferty."

The delicate situa tions are handled most beautifully by Miss Williams and sho has proven be yond question that she is a master of her art. Those who see her will long remember her, and. in every incident forgive her for what she might have been." for her goodness so outjDOunds her badness that the badness all fades Into the yesterday. Bessie Eyton's portrayal of the part of Helen Chester is sweet and lovely at all times. She rises to every op portunity and handles it most capably. She typifies all that we would expect in this particular type of American woman.

BURTON, TOO, IS OPPOSED Final Passage, However, Is Expect ed, for Appropriations Have Been Carefully Apportioned AVltn That End In View. tREUONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 4. There is little likeli hood 'that the fight being made against the river and harbor bill in the Senate will accomplish its defeat, though It is believed that the bill cannot go into effect much before August and may not become operative until a later date. The river and harbor bill is being as sailed from two directions, for two dis tinct reasons. Senator Borah, of Idaho, who is hold ing up the bill, intends to hold up the Conference report later, unless Congress grants some of the legislation asked by the West. As a means of accomplish ing his purpose, he has offered an amendment to the bill authorizing a loan of $50,000,000 to' the reclamation fund, and is demanding that that amendment be accepted by the Senate. His contention is that the river and harbor bill, with few exceptions, car ries no direct benefit to the states, where the Government is building irri gation works. Reclamation Loan Held Just. The bill being a generous measure, appropriating- something like $50,000, 000 for the improvement of waterways, every cent of which is a direct appro priation and not to be returned to the Federal Treasury, Senator Borah be lieves It is only just that Congress should consent to lend a like .amount to the reclamation fund, on condition that every cent of this $30,000,000 is to be returned in time to the Treasury. Moreover, unless his amendment is agreed to, Senator Borah ' feels there will be no chance whatever of getting through the reclamation loan bill this session. In insisting on the adoption of his loan amendment, however. Senator Borah Is seeking to accomplish an other end. He is desirous of secur ing the passage this session of the 20- year extension bill for the relief of settlers on Government irrigation proj ects, and also wants to see the repeal of the obnoxious cultivation clause of the homestead law. If he. with others, can hold up the river and harbor bill long enough to force the House to pass these two bills, which have already passed the Senate, he will have gained the larger portion of what he is fight ing for. Bill Called "Pork Barrel" Measure. On the other hand, Senator Burton and several other Senators are attack ing the river and harbor bill on other grounds. They charge that the pending bill is a "pork-barrel" bill, carrying numerous appropriations that Siiould not be made, while some of the larger and moYe Important projects are cut down below a figure which will enable the Government to proceed in a business-like manner. These Senators would eliminate from the bill a great many small appropria tions made for unimportant rivers and creeks that do not have and never will have any material value for commer cial purposes. This bill is so drawn as to command the support of a majority of both House and Senate. The appropriations have been apportioned carefully with that end in view and having the sup port of a majority the bill probably will pass and become a law. The filibuster against it, nevertne- less, will delay its consideration and the money carried by the bill cannot become available as soon as had been hoped by the Senators In charge of the measure. MORPHINE OUTFIT TAKEN C. V. CAINES IS ARRESTED BY DE TECTIVE AND JAILED. Investigation Made of Allegation He ' Obtained Money From rortlandem In Questionable Advertising. With a quantity of morphine and a halt dozflii injection needles in his pos session. C. F. Caines was arrested yes terday by Detective Royle and is held in the City Jail for investigation. The detectives say they believe he is con ducting an alleged questlonaV8 adver tising scheme, with which he has al ready secured money from' Portland business men. Caines. the detectives allege, repre sents himself as a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors and a former conductor on the O.-W. I R. & N. in this state. He solicits ad vertising for a railroad time table, which he declares is published period ically. No record of Caines in railroad circles could be found by the detectives. When arrested Caines is alleged to have tried to hide a small account book which, he took from his pocket, this book contained a few notations on ad vertising and the names of several prominent business men of Portland. Caines explalnea nis possession ul the drugs by saying that he formerly was a doctor. A leather traveling bag in his room bore the initials "Dr.C. F. C." The detectives say they do not be lieve that Caines is a user or tne drug. Pending the investigation of the ad vertising scheme Caines will be held on a charge of having the morphine outfit in his possension. ; SALEM WANTS CHAUTAUQUA Association Is Formed to Plan for Programme and Finances. cu rtr .Tnlv 4 (SDecial.)

Some Heretofore Unpublished Facts That Will Prove of Great Value as a Protection to the Prospective Piano Purchaser It is said, that fraudulent piano advertising receives its greatest support from the Stcni'tl piano. This is said to' be due to the fact that a certain class of piano dealers advertise a Stencil piano which they have for sale as 'being a $400 or $300 piano, but that for pome reason, which will not bear investigation, they will sell it for $93 or $100, wherens tho trulh of tlio matter is that where such a piano is sold at $95 to $100 there is a pood profit made. STENCIL PIANOS OF LITTLE VALUE It is agreed by all of the better authorities that a Stencil piano is of very little value as a musical instrument, not but what the Steucil piano may sound fairly good when new, but. it has no enduring qualities, and is so cheaply constructed that if its -maker guaranteed it and lived up to the guarantee he would soon be financially ruined. Very often dealers in Stencil pianos will claim to guarantee them, but this guarantee is usually made good by taking the Stencil piano back and selling to the party from whom the Stencil is taken a little better piano at a much higher price. The Best American Authorities Have Classified Stencil Pianos as Follows: No. 1, Stencil pianos are pianos with names not known to be those of dealers or makers, in other words, fictitious names, and seldom, if ever, having any lettering cast either in the metal plate or elsewhere to show where they are made. f N No. 2, Stencil pianos are pianos with names of dealers and not manufacturers. Sotuo dealers try to uphold this No. 2 Stencil piano by securing one or more shares of stock in some piano manufacturing concern and then claim that the piano bearing their name is manufactured by them. When asked for an explanation this class of dealer will contend that he is a stockholder , in a certain factory and that the piano bearing his name is manufactured according to the specifications submitted by him this is palpable evasion, for no dealer can become a manufacturer by becoming a shareholder. It would be just as logical for the owner of stock in a bank to claim he is a banker. No. 3, Stencil pianos are pianos having names sounding like or spelled nearly like the name of legitimate and well-known pianos. Such a piano is-the worst kind of a fraud and should not be purchased at any price. ' STENCIL PLAYER PIANOS There are many Stencil Player pianos on the market and generally they are of the same quality as the Stencil pianos above mentioned. $1000 CASH Some dealers, realizing that a factory store saves to the purchaser the middleman's profit, falsely claim to be conducting a factory store. AVe claim this store to be owned, controlled and operated by the Bush & Lane Piano factory, and we back our claim with $1000 in cash. - The public have a right to this guarantee from this store or any other store which claims to be a factory store. . . ; WE HAVE NO STENCILS "We have no new Stencil pianos or Player pianos on our floors. Every new piano and player piano is a Standard make. This' statement is backed by $1000 in cash. STANDARD PIANOS AND PLAYER PIANOS We have new Upright pianos from $200 up, and new Player pianos from $423 up, which we will guarantee in writing to be Standard makes, NOT STENCILS. You are entitled to this protection here or elsewhere. The dealer who deceives you by his advertisement to get you into his store will practice greater deception in selling you his goods.
