W'u clip the whole ol an gditOtiftl from tbe Bpokaof Spokesman -Ite view of a lew days ago. We think it is worthy of the space given uud of tbe time it will require in rea I ing. It is as follows: The death of Mayer William B tfajoo ot PortUnd is a reminder that there are heroes in business lift aj well as on the field of battle. Through a high sense of honor, be died comparatively a poor man. The circuuif t nice in narrated by the ( iregoiiian: "In 1899 h" became president of the I'ortland National bank. This inslituti m because of Home Unfor tunate loans, succumbed to the late linaucial panic, but Mr Id MOD took M the ship until tbe last depositor wits paid in lull, sacri ficing thi greater part of his per sonal fortune io doing so. Through the swindling operations of the Ainalic I, uuilier company, the bank lost 80 per cent -if its assets, nud Mr Mason used about $180,000 ol bis private lortuno to nave the de positors, duly bis high crime ol honor and justice prompted bltn to make this sacrifice, for he wis hound neither legally nor morally to use a dollar of his own resources b pay the depositora." Knowledge of the circumstances is necessary to a full comprehension ol the magnitude of the great t-.iori- fioe. At the time ol bis death M.tyor Mason WM 87 years of age. His private fortune was the acqui sition of a life lime of honorable bUaintM effort. Bo had reached an age where bis sacnlice meant that thenceforth until his death k could not exjxvt ever again to com maud an independent fortune. It involved the .-urremlcr ot llio-e fond bopOl cherished by every hard worker, of a lew years of quiet re lirOOMOt in the OQMOt Of llfg from the rough and tumble of active hu-mess cares. It ll ".ml he was BOt under moral obligation to apply lii" private for tune to the payment of the deposi tors of Ins bank.
