LEBANON7- DEBATERS WIN OVER EUGENE'S The Commonwealth Truat company, with the fateful sum of f!3 In Its vaults, hss taken advantage of the old state law and thrown itself upon the Ircult court as an Insolvent. Thla morning Pan It. Murphy, aa at- orncy for the trust company, filed a ictlllon In Insolvency before the circuit ourt. I ne petition was very general n Its statements, iuotlng no figures of sets or llaliilltlrs, but being content with tho comprehensive statement that the nank was closed for the proportion ate benefit of nil Its creditors. It aa related that owing to misfortunes, loss ca ami general unsat Isfuctory and un fortunate conditions the hank waa em barrassed and Insolvent to a consider able sum. It, therefore, waa asked that tho Institution be assigned to A. K. Hentley, president of the Hentley Realty company, for the benefit of all the cred itors. While the petition, does not set out the liabilities or the assets of the Insti tution, the trust company possesses as sets worth In the aggregate about 112, 000 It is stated that the face value of these assets will amount to approxi mately 132,000, but the real value of the holdings Is put by conservative es timate at the former figure. The fix tures of the bank are estimated aa being worth about 112.000, however, ao that the other property held may raise the total assets above that amount, ter- haps near to the sum claimed by the bank officials. Closed Under Attachment, The deposits of the institution will total about $9,000. At the time the bank closed under an attachment issued by Justice Reld's court there was just i 123 In the vaults. The Trust Company has been In fi nancial straits for most of the time dur ing the past few months. Since the sus pension of the, Oregon Trust compony those who had money In the Institution had been withdrawing it until the vaults were practically emptied at the time the attachment auit waa filed againat It yesterday. Many of those who were de positors made, efforts to get their money out but were put off by the officials of the Institution from hour to hour in an I effort to raise the money needed and keep tho place open. IU'rlng the early part of the week Fred Soles of Woodburn and a soldier from the barrarkr at Vancouver had a strenuous time in securing the balances due them ar.d in the end the soldier g't his money In full while Soles came off with but half of his deposit. Bolster Gets Hla Koaay. The soldier bad S60 on deposit and was ordered to leave for San Franclsi-o with his regiment. Soles had 3200 on deposit nnd wiahed to draw it out. They presented themselves at the office and handed In their checks but were told to call again in an hour. This was dono. when they were asked to come about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The two men then Joined forces and sought the advice of an attorney who called 1. H. lteedfer. the attorney for the Insti tution and Informed him that unless the money was forthcoming at once an at tachment suit would be begun. Iteeder told the attorney to meet him at th bank with the two men but after be had got there went into conference with the bank officials until after the lrtstitutlnn had closed for tho day. Tired of waiting, the attorney at last sent a note to .Mr. Iteeder stating that unless the money waa forthcoming at once the place would be closed by at tachment. Mr. Iteeder emerged upon this Information and together with the officials of the institution held confer ence with the two men and their at torney. As a result of the conference the soldier was paid his account In full while Soles received half of his, or 1100. It is understood that H. U. Keyt. the president of the institution, who entered the trust company when the Iee Inter ests got out has been worsted to the ex tent of some 126,000, about which sum he has put into the business in order to keep it going and bridge over Its re verses.

Health Is gradually undermined. Backache, head ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, -dropsy, dia betes and Bright's disease follow in merciless succession. Don t neglect your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which has cured people right here ln Portland. J. C. Buckler, building contractor, of 8 East Ninth street, Portland, Oregon, says: "After having tested Doan's Kid ney flits ror over tnree years I can conscientiously say that I know of no remedy for the kidneys that Is Its equal. Before using Doan's Kidney Pills in 1802 I had a constant soreness In the small of the back and to stoon or straighten caused the pain to catch me hard in the back. There was also a weakness of the action of the kidneys, very noticeable at night, and the se cretions contained a sediment. Having tried one remedy after another without results, I finally began using Doan's Kidney Pills. I found benefit from the start and ln time they completely rid me of the aching and pain ln the back, corrected the secretions and brought thorough relief.
