-representative C. N. McArthur's at
titude Is favoring- the shipment of

league. In his answer to the $50,000
damage suit of the Congressman. But,
In the 21-page reply filed yesterday
In the Circuit Court. Mr. Hutton ad
mitted that the Importation of liquor is
. permitted by the law -which was pre
pared by "dry" organizations and
, presented to the Legislature for
adoption through a committee of which
K. V. Llttlefield, Mr. McArthur's op
ponent for Congressional nomination,
was chairman.
The action to which Attorney Ellsha
A. Baker filed answer yesterday re
sulted from the circulation by Anti
saloon League forces of a cartoon
dodger representing Congressman Mc
Arthur as being opposed to law en
forcement In his desire to abet the
invasion of the state by California'
liquor concerns.
Publication of the alleged, libel la
admitted, but that It Injured Mr. Mo
Arthur to the extent of holding him
up to ridicule or contempt is denied.
Mr. Hutton. asserts that the printing of
the circuiar was not a personal attack,
- but that it emanated, from the Anti
Saloon League, and that the rank, and
file of the members of the league
' seemed eager to secure copies, and. in
dorsed the sentiment expressed in the
statement that 'Taf McArthur gives
license to California booze-boosting,
home-destroying: defiors of Oregon
law."
KndeaTon Are Admitted.
Any interview with the Representa
tive ii'-i. ir to his election, regarding his
M.i:i- i n the Hobson amendment, was
i ut later endeavors to Induce
.-;i.ir to favor the amendment
wt ir.klfd.
'Pi: iiiiitck on the constitutionality
iT a portion of the dry law, permitting
Hie sale by affidavit of pure alcohol
for external use, made in paragraph 13
, of Mr. McArthur's complaint, met with
. a defense of the law. The allegation
in the same paragraph that Mr. Hutton
conspired to prevent the public from
placing the blame for Importations of
liquor and sale of alcohol on the Legis
lature which adopted the dry law
is denied. i
- Mr. Hutton asserts that E. V. Little
field, though chairman of tbe com
mittee on alcoholic liquors, had little
to do with the final form of the law
adopted, which was decided, upon after
consultations with the Committee of
1 One Hundred, the Anti-Saloon League,
the W. C. T. U. and other organizations,
. as conforming to the will of the people.
The defendant in the action asserted
his belief that Mr. McArthur was pres
ent in person at the time the Legisla
ture was framing the dry law, being
st the Legislature as lobbyist for.spe-
i rial interests, and could have used his
Influence to prevent any mistakes oc
curring in the law and "might have
secured the passage of a law more
stringent in its terms and, as plaintiff
now pretends, could and should have
been enacted.'
High Salary Denied.
Mr. Hutton denied that he is a high
ly paid employe of the league, main-
taining that, while his salary is $2000
a year, its payment is more or less
doubtful, as he has not received his
salary in full at the present time.
i The conclusion of the headquarters
committee of the league, which voted
, unanimously to oppose Mr. McArthur
and to support Mr. Littlefield for Con
gress, led to the preparation of the ob
jectionable circular, it is alleged. The
circular was prepared, without malice,
it is recorded, to make it known to
voters that Mr. McArthur was not in
, favor of submitting the matter of pro
hibition to a vote by the people of the
United States and that by his unwill
ingness he was acting in favor of the
California liquor shippers.
Mudslinglng, which almost obscures
the issue, is Indulged in. Old land
fraud charges are dug up and paraded
. through the pages of the answer. Al
legations of extensive lobbying for spe
cial Interests in the State Legislature
are made. Aid given as Speaker of
the House to Jay Bowerman. who is
accused of earning about $15,000 during
the 1913 session lobbying for the "in-
teresta." Is charged.

Further, tbe answer asserted that
' Fervlinand K. Reed is the chief hench
man of Congressman McArthur. and
as such expects to be namcr United
I plates Marshal if Mr. McArthur is re
, elected. Mr. Reed is stigmatized as "a
i. Hn of notoriously bad political char
actor, who, with Jay Bowerman and
. aid C. N. McArthur. control what
' might be styled 'the invisible govern
ment.' attempting to control the poli
tics of the state of Oregon.
The answer concludes: "That this
defendant honestly believed that said
" C. N". McArthur was and Is an unfit
person to represent the Third Congres
' slonal TMstrict of the state of Oregon
, in the United States Congress, and that
- by reason of his reputation throughout
. t!:e length and breadth of said Third

Oregon Now Has 84 National and
177 State Institutions Con sis t
' ent Expansion Since 1908
Checked Only by War.
SALEM, Or, May 6. (Special.) The
striking growth of bank deposits in
Oregon, since the beginning of 1908.
following the panic of 1907, is shown
graphically in a chart prepared by S.
G. Sargent. State Superintendent of
Banks.
In 1D08 Oregon had 191 National and
State banks, with deposits aggregating
approximately $S5, 000,000, while today
the total deposits are approximately
$127,000,000 and gaining steadily.
There are now 261 National and State
banks, 84 being National and 177 State
Institutions. Nine years ago there
were 59 National banks and 132 State
banks.
From 1908 to 1910. inclusive, banks
deposits in the state rose steadily with
out fluctuation from $85,000,000 to $119.
000.000. From the first of 1911 to the
close of 1913 deposits in National and
state banks showed slight fluctuations,
with a rising tendency. At the close
of 1913 deposits in Oregon touched their
high mark with a total of $133,000,000.
With the outbreak of war in Europe a
decrease resulted, until at the begin
ning of 1915 deposits aggregated only
$117,000,000. Since then, however, con
ditions have steadily improved, and the
gain in deposits has been steady until
now they total $127,000,000.
The National banks in 1914 began to
gain 1. deposits, while stale institu
tions fell off. This fact is accounted
for, according to Superintendent Sar
gent, because in 1914 the Security Sav
ings & Trust Company, of Portland, was
consolidated with the First National
Bank of Portland. The decrease in
state bank deposits at this time was
approximately $10,000,000. Since the
third call o 1915, however, deposits in
Oregon state banks have risen steadily.
gaining about $5,000,000 in the last six
months.
State bank deposits now total approx
imately $19,000,000, while deposits In
National banks of the state total ap
proximately $78,000,000.

the way and than crisscross tunnel the
Interior of the dome until one of the

reached. The tunnel would the make
an exit on one of these terraces. In
that manner it would be possible for
the tourist to make the side trip t 8C
