Though organised primarily for ths ! purpose of combating- the "loan shark" ' evil. It Is Intended that the ultimate ; activities of the. ' Portland , Remedial ! Loan association shall be far more 'reaching. Investigation by those In : charge of its formation has deroonstra i ted that In other cities such organise j tlons are a means to the end of the re- !habilltatlott of estranged families. Unfortunates In financial trouble usu ally fliave other troubles, usually of a , domestic nature, as well, and finding a person or an association In which they ; can confide and receive square treat j mint in one thing, they naturally tin- j burden their Hearts or otnpr trouoies which are adjusted for them. - ': Articles of Incorporation for the Port land association, capitalised at 1100,000, divided Into 40,000 Shares of the par ' value of $10 each, are ready for filing ! with the secretary of state. They will 1 he so filed the first of the week. Wealthy clt liens are backing the undo. taking. The plan originated last October at a i meeting of the Progressive Business ' Wen's club, at which it .was suggested that an association of some kind should J 'be formed to combat, the ."'loan shark" t evil. Acting on the suggestion, Attor , ney C J. Wangerien was appointed ; chairman of a committee which he was empowered to choose. The movement .r has been rapid since that time. -v ' .,.''?.' Scop If Broad. ; "The association's possibilities for ; goad to those who need help, financially snd otherwise, Is .almost unlimited," says Mr. Wangerien. 'its activities ; will extend far further than to merely .cover the phase of j lending money at ' fair rates of interest. Investigation of J similar work In other cities shows that Mlie association's activities enter into ; many different phases of home life. i un mrge.curporaiion in new jersey organised a remedial loan association ' for Its employes. The sssoclatlon not ' only took care of the financial troubles of the employes but the kindness shown t hem resulted In better work and re sults. The men began to save where formerly they spent all their earnings, and Indirectly the association was re , sponsible for ' the' marriage of some, v-; who settled down and became'' good homs-lovlng citizens. i , i , "Largely through tha efforts of Ar il thur II. Ham, of the Russell Sags Foun f datlon. New Tork city, a national Rum i edlal association has been formed. This J association now has a membership of i about 2S affiliated organisations repre i sentlng the associations df that many i wtates, Portland will probably join the L national association when .it gets well . under way. . "An association has been formed re cently in Ban Francisco and Is said to. i be doing good work. -The organisers I down there sent representatives to New i York to study the work first hand. San .'

' , Mr. "Wangerien says that much of the ; success of the undertaking rests with j the manager of the association, and this place will probably be taken by a man ; whom Mr, Ham will recommend. j - i.tia iiuipusra (ii tuc association as sei ; forth in the articles are to "provide a means under which moneys may be Moaned to persons In. .need of small i. amounts, so that such persons may se i cure the same ou reasonable terms wlth- out being charged usurious rates of in- terest,- bonuses, 'commissions, or being , l oppressed by any other device resorted . to for the purpose of exacting an un reasonable rate of compensation for the fuse of money." Means by' which this may be accomplished- are set forth in f the articles. l Js provided also that dividends I amounting to more, than six per cent ! on the capital stock of said corporation I shall not be declared In any year, ex- cept that dividends in excess of six per cent may be declared in any year when the dividends declared In any preceding year or years, were less' than six per i cent.

The planted acreage is principally pears and apples, with peaches a poor third. Other fruit crops are apricots, prunes, plums and almonds. .The fruit census of the val lev shows over 4,000.000 fruit trees. Only a small percentage is In full bear ing, but each-year sees the bearing acreage doubled. Pear trees are unusually heavy with bloom this year, indicating a large yield.

"Who will be tho next chief of police of St. Johns" Is a question which Is receiving consid erable discussion at the present time. The appointments will be made at the meeting of the council next Tuesday night, but as yet Mayor-elect Charles Bi edeson has made no definite announce ment. ' It is quite certain that R. McKlnney. present chief, ,will not be reappointed. McKlnney lias been at the head of the police department for three years and during that tune he has made an .en viable record. St. Johns was commonly known as "Rowdytown"- when he- first took hold of the office, but during his Incumbency he has lifted it to such a moral plane that it Is second to none In tho state, as far as- moral and civic cleanliness Is concerned. This year McKinney was on the wrong side of the political question, so ha is nut seeking or expecting reappointment. It is strongly rumored that O. E. Al len will be named as chief. - Allen worked on the force several years, ago when Bredeson was chief of police, and it is known .that Bredeson is very fa vorable to him. He has the respect nd . the confidence of the community and will undoubtedly made an excellent officer. Mr. Bredeson said yesterday that ha would niako a clean sweep of the engi neering department. Charles Andrews, present city engineer, has already re signed, but, according to Bredeson; all of the deputies must go. C. J3. Vincent Is prominently spoken of as the next en gineer. . The city physician is the other , ap pointment which Bredeson will be called upon to make and in this department also lio has decided to make " a Change.. Dr, Luzana K. Graves seems to be tho most favorable, candidate for this place, and Mr. Bredeson stated yesterday that she would probably be appointed.

He plunged on wheat' cotton, -pork," 'corn and other commodities,' and ', ran 'the gauntlet In such a reckless manner that he became a valuable client for anybody to have. V '3ork Brings Clitata. J ' Burke, so : the -evidence shows, was given a job by Wilson at $375 a month when, after he left the employ of K. F. - Hutton & Company,, he brought Baker's account to J, C. Wilson & Com pany and then nurse'd the banker along In his gambling until the big crash came. Wilson's office made thousands of dollars, it is said,4 through Baker's gambling with National bank funds. The amount which Baker, embezzled from the Crocker National bank has been officially fixed .at $204,000. According to the testimony Baker speculated under the name, of Blake but it was shown that when he won. ha had the -checks made out In his right name. Sentence in Baker's case was suspended for a week to allow him to arrange his busl nes affairs. . . 7 - . . "Unwarranted by-the facts and most til-AW 4-l,4.
