HUNT REVEALS 'NO PLANE Sheriffs of Two Counties Wonder if Falling Ship Was Phantom. HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb. 25. (Spe cial.) Have modern times produced a. phantom of the air, a successor of the flying Dutchman?

The two officers since Friday afternoon have sought the wreck of an airplane in the timbered brakes of the Columbia east of Cas cade Locks. Stevenson, Wash, resi dents yesterday reported that they li'istinctly saw the airplane fall. All eearches so far have been in vain.

If the Steven Bon people really saw an airplane, it was a ship of mystery. We have communicated with various north western cities and no airplane is missing. It is possible that a booze runner crashed in the trees." FRENCH FORTUNES GIVEN vfcnii ? w jA ? Above Miss Anne M. Lang of The Dalles, new resent. Below Mra.

B. Robertson, state bank ex aminer. The statement follows: "Under ordinary circumstances I would hesitate in my official capacity to make a statement such as I shall now make pertaining to the French & Co., bankers, but I do not consider this case an ordinary one. I firmly and sincerely believe that this insti tution will reopen for business with in a period of ten to 15 days and perhaps sooner. "I base my conclusions on the fact that the stockholders of the bank represent heavy . financial interests in other lines, and they have turned over to me outside assets aggregating approximately one-half million dol lars with instructions that I nego tiate a loan against these assets in a sufficient sum to liquidate all of the slow and doubtful paper under criticism by the state banking de partment. There is nothing to pre vent putting the institution in first class shape provided a loan can be obtained on the securities to "which I have above referred, and I feel quite positive it can be done. "It is really a pleasure to me to state that the French families are willing and anxious to sacrifice their private fortunes for the purpose of preventing a loss to their depositors. In view of their attitude In the mat ter I feel that the depositors should refram from making permanent banking connections in other quar ters, for after this bank reopens with the bad and doubtful assets elimi nated, it will be an institution thor oughly worthy of the support and patronage of its old clients.
