The Wills, mette Transportation company, which yesterday purchased the steamers Ruth and N, R. Lang, began business today. The steamers will run between this city -andPortland, and will handle only freight until : a publlo dock is estab lished In this city.

The state lanl board has been ' having considerable trouble in various parts of the state In straightening out the securities given for state loans. This Is particularly true in Lincoln county where many of those who have taken out loans failed to deposit with the state land board's attorneyi In the county the necessary abstract of title for th. property mort gaged.' - -' - - --.- Recently the land board appointed a new attorney to represent the board In Lincoln county, a woman. She has been having trouble getting the abstracts, many of those who had loans saying they paid the former land board attor ney for an abstract and supposed one had Jieen made. - " ,One of the Lincoln county farmers wrote to the secretary of the board wanting to know what the stir was all about, and Incidentally called the wom an attorney. an "old . hen" whom he couldn't please, "The-board resents the tone of your letter relative to its attorney ito Lin coln county," replied Clerk Brown of the board. "She is a lady In every sense of. the word, and In notifying you rela tive to your abstract she only followed the Instructions of the board. "You can either forward your abstract to Miss Crahen-at once, or send the full amount due on your loan to the state treasurer. It Is immaterial to the board which you do."

It Is re ported that detectives working on the Bank of Montreal robbery at New West minster, In which $380,000 was stolen, have, followed sensational clues nearly to completion which point to the fact that, most of the stolen money went to Chinese Republicans to finance the now successful revolution. The evidence al ready secured is sa'd to be m convinc ing that there Is littl doubt but Chinese either did the robbery themselves or engaged white yeggggmen. t'racticaily every -discovery of money since the robbery Lis bea connected with an oriental.
