Nature entered Into the spirit . of wel
come which permeated Pendleton this
morning when the delegation of Port
land pilgrims arrived on their way to
the Lewlaton-Clarkstdh Talr, and a more
beautiful day could not have been imag
ined. - The sharp, crisp air of the high
altitude .acted as a stimulant to the
splrtta of these men from the Rose City.
Members of the party were sunning
about the depot platform - at the first
break of day, like a band of achool
boys on a picnic
At o'clock a representative party oi
Pendleton business and professional man
appeared at "the station and extended a
hearty greeting to their brothers from
the port of the Inland Empire. The ex
cursionists were escorted to the rooms
of the Pendleton Commercial sssocla
tlon. where the freedom of the city waa
extended to them. Judge Stephen A.
Lowell was tho only speaker. It having
been decided that as their stsy was
abort the Portlanders would much
rather enjoy the sights of the city than
listen to addresses. -
Judge Lowell in a few words : ex
pressed the appreciation of the people
of the city of this visit from so dis
tinguished a party, and cloaed by invit
ing all to take a stroll, to points of
interest about the city.
JSvery member of the visiting party
waa profuse In bla admiration of the
many beautiful views and numerous re
sources-which contribute to the pros,
perity of Pendleton. All expressed re
gret thst their stay waa so short In
the few hours of their visit here a bond
of good ' fellowship was established be
tween the commercial men of the lead
Ing two cities of the state which will be
enduring.
On every side were heard expressions
of admiration of the wonderful climate
of this portion of Oregon and many of
the party said that they had made a
mistake when taking their vacations by
going east to the same level ss their
home city Instead of coming into - the
high altitude of eaatern Oregon.
OoVernor Chamberlain was thoroughly
at home, ss be has numberless friends
In Pendleton. He was te be found in
the midst of an admiring crowd the
whole time and was kept busy shaking
hands until the last minute before the
departure of the train.
To have seen the visitors in the gym
naslum of the Commercial assoclstlon
the casual observer never would have
arrived at the conclusion that they were
representatives of the leading commer
cial interests of the state. No part of
the apparatus waa unified by the
visitors, who did "stunts'' which they
hsd learned at school snd still remain
be red. Governor Chamberlain laid aside
his official dignity and had a tussle with
the "medicine ball."
At 0:10 o'elock the train moved out
of the station bound for Athena amid
the cheers of tho crowd which gathered
to bid them good-bye. .

. New York, Oct .lt. President Richard
A. McCurdy, before the insurance com
mittee this morning, testified regarding
the asaets and financial operations of
the Mutual Life Insurance ' company.
He said that It was a greater advantage
to the company to have its funds placed
by subsidiary companies and did not
think that these would lead to specula
tion in bed enterprises. - . .
McCurdy said that for large loans the
Mutual charged two per cent interest.
Bom loans were made at three per cent
Hughes asked if an effort had been
made to get a higher rate from the Mor
rlatown Trust-company. McCurdy said
that he did not recall such aa effort
ever having been made.
McCurdy said that the reason that the
Morrlstown Trust company paid only 1
per cent Interest wss ths fear that the
Mutual's balance would be suddenly
withdrawn. Hughes sbowsd that the
smallest balance of the Mutual In the
Morrlstown Trust company since loo
wss $200,000. He showed thst the
Mutual owned 1,760 share and that Mc
Curdy owned 612 share of the 0.000 In
the Morrlstown company. Hughes asksd
McCurdy If. there could hav been
danger of a sudden withdrawal. -
1 really could not say," replied Me-
Curdy.
McCurdy said that the MutuaLlng
a part owner received tne benefit of the
Momatown'a dividends. This waa pan
of the rsason for the low Interest re
ceived. He admitted that he, as a de
positor In the Morrlstown. reoelved
