"If our clan of navlne- out the Orecon Trust A Savings bank prevails, and that now seems to be reasonably certain, I will nut $60,000 Into new stock of th Merchants National and pay for th same within the year." Associates of Mr. Wilde In the Horn Telephone company have deposit In the Merchants National, and ha will uae hi Influence to Induce them to take long time certificates for these sums. Clearing house certificate to th amount of 1250.000 were cancelled to day by payment of that amount of cash by the Merchants National to the fi nance committee of the elearln house.

Patullo held dlf ferent opinion yesterday afternoon In regard to letting contract for city improvement work all due to an Iron bound rule which, prohiblta letting blda for more than 10 per cent -of the city engineer's estimate. The controversy arose over the Improvement of Stark street between Seventh and Uurnslde with a bltullthie pavement. . City Engineer Taylor and Mr. Sabln contended that the contract should be let in this Instance although the bid was 11 per cent In excess of the city engineers estlm'ate. Mr. Taylor ex plained that his estimate was made I months ago and that the company's oia or xio.zzz wouia not oe iv per cent in excess of Jii estimate for the work at the present time. Mayor Lane Insisted that the rule be followed saying that it would not be fair to demand one thing of one con tractor and" not of another. The mat ter was finally decided in this way. : There has been much discussion late ly regarding the manner in which the city Jets Its contracts. By reason of i the. long delays in paying contractors for their work, street improvements 1 are held up, extensions . of time are asked for and a general demoralised uuiiuniun prevail in ma mauer or lm Viivivln m thtrnnr) fm ra m ,tm r -' "v vuguivi i m yioaivi uui Inn Af fheft vaar tr-mrirM -mt- ftralrtit it pretty fc&rd In th banking iiuiiuitjra Mia woij vmrnvQ over uy only Ua am a.

Finds Itself Up Against It in Improv ing Streets. That Portland - la . in the hand of trusts when -It-comes to the matter of street improvement was the state ment of the members of the street com mittee of. the city executive board yes terday afternoon. Between the devil and the deep', blue ,sea 'is .the way the situation ha been expressed because the city has "to contract with either the Warren Construction company or the Barber Asphalt company. Both corporations are raisins- their bids gradually until the amounts in variably exceed the 10 per cent rule of the board. To offset this encroach ment upon the city treasury the mem bers have decided to refuse all such bids. But to do this means holding up city street improvements. Either altow the work to drag along Indefinitely or accept the bid of the trusts Is the position the board finds Itself In. To this end the nronosprt fill On East Madison street was referred back to the city council because the bid was excessive. Work on the Oak street pavement between Second, and Third streets was held up until the Barber company can secure the nn- sent of two-third of the property own ers. The bid .in thla oase Is slightly more than 10 per cent in excess of the olty engineer's estimate. It I probable tuv JV,ij wnil.l. Will (IT HI. GEER HERE TO CLEAR UP FIELD T. T.
