Home builders are moving Into cen
tral Oregon In constantly Increasing
numbers. They are In, advance of the
thousands preparing to come In a? few

tion pffent of the Great Northern Rail

' country of undiscovered possibilities
arid make It the scene of development

' "President Louis W. ' Hill of the
' Great ' Northern Intends that Oregon
development shall catch up with that
of Washington, Let me explain just
what that means to Oregon, then the
treat benefit will ) realized. ' Wash
ington is only two-thirds as large a
Oregon, Oregon's a:e& is 96,9 squares;
: Washington's area 69.127 square miles.
: But Washington has 4180 miles of rail
road with 800,000 population, according
td the count of 1908. while Oregon has
but 2089 miles of railroad and 550,000
; of population according: to the count of
1908. ' . ' '
' Oregon Just as Good.
In other words, Washington with only
about two-thirds of the area has nearly
twice as many miles of railroad ; and
consequently nearly double the popula-
- tion that Oregon possesses. Remember,
please, that this la contrast between
Hill and Harriman development enter-
-prise. Oregon Is as good, mile for mile,
as Washington. Oregon 4s as suscepti-
. Me of extensive development. It has
imply been a. question of transporta
tion, and that question will be answered
hy the completion of the Oregon Trunk.
But President Hill does not Intend to
limit his railroad building In Oregon to,
the Oregon Trunk.". -
Mr. Graham haa recently Completed
a Journey through central Oregon. His
statements were evidence obtained
through personal contact with the coun
try. Ho was gathering specimen prod
ucts to bo usd in the - Hill rain of
Oregon exhibit. : He will be able to
show from ' Interior Oregon - splendid
specimens of grain, fruits and vege
tables. He has figures to show that
the production would long ago. have
been wealth bringing had there been any
. means of transportation. ''
The exhibition train will begin Its
Journey across the continent, said Mr.
Graham, during the early autumn. 4 The
car of Oregon exhibits will- be taken
to all the eastern county i seats and
wherever the people cdme together, in
oidt-r that all may learn what Oregon
holds for them: The car will contain
between. 400 and BOO big Jars full of
Ore eon fruits and fish and grains. In
accordance with the plana of President
L. W. Hill there are to be compart-
' ments representing thai various sections,
For instance, there Will be great
clusters of. splendid roses preserved by
special j process representing Portland,
the Rose City. English, walnuts will
represent McMinnvllIe, the walnut city,
and charries a wealth of them. Royal
JVnnes, Black Republicans and a half

Moore became president of the bank.
This testimony given by Moore under
crosa-tximlnatlon. .:by, ;A. E.' Clark In
the olvlt suit of Receiver Devlin against
officers ; of the bank, on trial . before
Judge Gatens In the circuit court.
Moore said thla was after the bank
had'1 quit extending credit to Pence, the
Pence., notes antedating his entry into
the bank. - As the defense has been In
timating that, the pence flume 'schemes
were good prospective lrv'tmenta for
two or threo years .after.Moore went
Into the bank, Clark apparently derived
considerable satisfaction from Moore's
admission that 'he did not consider'
man who "touched" him for i on which
to eat a strong xnan financially.
In an effort to show the court that
Moore had sufficient knowledge of
bookkeeping to ascertain the- standing
of the bank had he taken the trouble to
look at thfl figures, Clark asked Moore
many questions as' to Ida ability to de
termine the statu of accounts. He
said he knew how to find the record of
notes,- how to get the dally balance of
separate accounts and how to read tha
cash balance. . ... . , 4
At first Moore said he had frequently
looked at the note register, and Clark
demanded how it was .he had never
seen the record of the Golden Eagle
notes carried there. - Moor then eaid
he had made a mistake as to the note
register. What he Intended to say, he
declared, was that he knew how to- find
tha notes themselves in ' the note
pouches. He had not relied on the note
register for a long time before' the bank
closed, he said, as he found It was -not
kept up ttf date and might lead him into
error. . CashierMorris talked of put
ting: tn a. new system, he said, and the
matter, was allowed to run along from
ttmr to time without the right kind of

Moore yesterday gave a detailed his

the suit On much, the same lines as in
the former trials, he discussed the ac

the building for whatever price could b
naa. ;

That the government hs no intention
Of selling the present poatof flee site Is
shown by the following telegram from
United States Senator Jonathan Bourne
which was received th'ls morning by
Postmaster Merrick,
. "Government has no intention of Bell
ing present postoff Ice, site, It Is my
expectation that Portland's growth will
necessitate the erection of a new build
ing on that site for courthouse and
other federal purposes."- '
Senator Bourne's telegram Is In re
eponse to an Inquiry by .Postmaster
Merrick asking what v disposition the
government usually made of abandoned
postofflce sites. In some quarters the
belief prevails that on account of the
high figures to be obtained for; prop
erty In the vicinity of" the , postofflce
the government will sell its block at
Fifth and Morrison and .apply the pro
ceeds toward the building of new
postofflce. At least one heavy owner
of property In the vicinity of the post
office has expressed the wish that the
postofflce block become business prop
erty and has gone so far as to indicate
that ho might submit - a proposal to
buy it
However, as the. government owns but
two pieces of Portland real estate tha
sites of the postofflce and custom house
and as a federal -courthouse Is more
than ever a necessity here It Is hot be
lieved that the government will part
with the-, title to the postofflce block,
which it. Is generally agreed meets all
the requirements of a federal court
house site.

son's target practice was concluded
Thursday, when the Thlrty-fousth com-
Tany, Fort Columbia, fired 18 rounds of
three inch shells from the 15 pound
batteries of both posts. " The Thirty-
third company, C'A. C, fcommanded by
Captain Willis, obtained six hits out of
the 16 shots fired from their batterleis.
The . Thirty-fourth company, ' com
manded by Captain Raymond, achieved
record breaking results, both from the
standpoint of time and accuracy. They
fired 16 shots at a rapidly moving tar
get In 60 seconds and scored 18 hits, - -Result
Is Remarkable.
This is a phenomenal result A boat
of the type supposed to be fired at by
such caliber rifles (three inch) would
have beeq completely riddled by such a
destructive rain of sheila These guns
are designed for usa against torpedo
boats, torpedo boat destroyers, gunboats
and the numerous small craft that prove
so elusive to larger and mora cumber
some rifles. ' 0
The season Just closed has been an ex
ceptional one, unusually fine results be
ing atained.. "Wednesday the Ninety
third company made a brilliant record
with 13 Inch mortars;" today the Thirty
fourth company has obtained Tesults
that cannot be excelled, and may not be
equaled."
HARRIMAN COATS
Interfere "With Work. of Taking
" Soundings for New Broad
- way Bridge. s
It is proving a difficult and danger
ous task to complete the soundings for
the west side pier of the Broadway
bridge.:' Twice recently. th barge used
In making the soundings has been run
down by p. h. 4 N. steamships. Lives
of ths men working on thftbarge- were
endangered and the work itself Serious
ly impeded. -
The Breakwater caused a damaga of
$1B0. by colliding with the barge.., The
collision, declares Engineer, Wcldman,
was unnecessary, since the. .ship, had
nearly 800 .feet ef clear channel at the
time. ' - ..:'::;!.. '",. ....
. The Bear damaged the barge and the
apparatus used la making ths sound
Inga to the extent Of about $140. , Eni
gineer ' Weidraan has placed bills for
the damage done by both collisions
in the hands of tha city engineer, but
it haa not , been possible yet . to obtain
any assurances of collection. .
That both collisions should have been
made by O. R. & N. boats, while others
found passage - easy Is - considered a
suspicious circumstance In view of , the
railroad .company's evident anxiety to
complete its own new steel bridge be
fore . any material progress on ths
Broadway bridge has been made. , '
- In making soundings for the bridge

enabled to- lift samples of the) rock to
the surface . for test . When . h . finds
strata that will sustain the pier he re
ports its depth and names that part of
the work complete. " Both collisions by
O. R. & N. boats, broke the pipe off
short, making it necessary to do tke
work all over again. The delay in each

, It is understood that complaints have
been made that the barge is obstruct
ing navigation. No formal complaints
have been filed with the United States
engineers, and It was stated from the
government office this morning that If
such complaints were made they would
not , ba recognized, since the barge Is
resting exactly where the pier of the
Broadway bridge will ultimately be
placed. Engineer LWeldman has--:also
observed the rulings concerning lights
