W'liy is Senator I. K. Day of Mu
t-
nomah county so Insistent that the
state highway commission repudia
Its agreement with the people of IIoi
Ttlver county to appropriate $50,000 for
the construction of the Mitchell point
grade? 4 1 j
Why docs Senator Day say to . hia
intimates that "the question is not
settled," and -hat "he Is going to S(a
lem Monday to see that the contract
is not awarded?'
- Why'does Senator Day declare that
he Will, "get" State Knsineer Bowlby?
S Why does he insist that the money
which it is proposed to award to Hood
Itiver county be given instead to Co
'. lumbia county?
The .answer to these questions ts
found in the "fact that Senator Day
. is, in intimate relationship with and
a business associate of the members
of the Consolidated -Contract com
pany who have a highway contract 4n
Columbia county and are said to be
financially .nvolved for .supplies ahtf
materials to the extent of approxi
mately $70,000 and who lately nego
tiated a loan of $50,000 at qr;e of the
Portland banks.
Daniel Kern, who is the owner of
one-fourth of the stock of the Con
solidated Contract company, is also
a stockholder of the' Oregon Independ
ent Pavjng company, of whic iieiia
tor uy is president. j
There is due the Consolidated Con
tract company from Colufribia county
the sum of . approximately $i0,000, ac
cording' to the estimates of State

Inability of Northwestern arid
Lumbermen's -Stockholders
to. Agree,r Cause.
Inability of stockholders of the two
institutions to agree as to details Has
: resulted In the abandonment of the
plan; to nierga- the Lumbermens aiid
Northwestern National banks. Imcjry
Olmstead of the Jortliwestern Na
tional and E, G. Crawford, vice prefi
dent, of the Lumbermens, carried on
negotiations and worked on details tor
tli proposed merger, but could riot
arrange them to the satisfaction jof
the stockholders of the two banks.
Both institutions will 'therefore con-
stlnue as heretofore. '
Had the merger been carried out 'ea
planned, to consolidated Institution
! would have bad a capital of $1,000,000,
'surplus of $500,000 and combined de
Posits of nearly $10,000,000. I
. Tubllo announcement of the merger
ai first made January 21. Tentative
plans of the consolidation at that tiitne
Vrovided for tim merging of the tvo
banks as one big institution, to be
known as the Liumbermens & North
western" National bank, with hefid-
quarters In the new 'Northwestern
. bank building at Sixth and Morrison
'streets. i
Under the scheme as then discussed
the merger was to include the Poj-t-
- land Trust & -Savings bank but the
I.umbermens Trust company was J to
remain a' separate institution. j
Had the merger been consummated,
H. L. Pittock, president of the North
western, would have probably been
chairman of the board of directoi-s;
' George W, Bates, head of the Lumbir
mens. would have been president:
Krnery Olmstead and E. G. Crawford,
vice-presidents of. the North westejm
and I.umbermens respectively, would
have been vice-presidents; and A. L
..Tucker, fcashier of- the Lumbermens,
would, have been cashier. -t I
Th " Lumbirmens was organized
June 30. 1908, being an outgrowth ! of
the Bankers & liumbermens bank, pa
Its directorate are George W. Bates,
K G. Crawford, Dr. K. A. J. MaoKen
lie, Charles S. .Russell, J. K. Whejel
er, P. S. Brumly, Andrew R. Portsr,
: George C. Bingham and Robert Trat

terrific bombardment of Thursday, ac
cording to dispatches from Athens to

over the strait today made this report
to Rear Admiral do Robeck, command
ing the allied squadrons.
Government officials were greatly
cheered by the news. The silencing
of Kilid Bahr and Chanak, If the un
official report tt true, more than com
pensates the allies for the loss of tho
battleships Bouvet. Irresistible and
Ocean, tburV declared.
The trips of the aeroplanes consti
tuted practically all the activity in
the - Dardanelles today, according toi
Athens dispatches.
Under orders from the fleet com
manders aviators circled low, over the
narrows to learn the extent of the
damage done by the shells from tho
.warships. Off the entrance to the
strait those warships not undergoing
repairs participated in the ceremonies
for the dead. Including nearly 600
sailors who perished when the Bouvet
went to the bottom and the casualties
aboard tho Engllgh warships, the dead
total nearly 700.
French Sailors Mangled.
Scores of bodies of French Hallors,
carried by the swift current flowing
out of the Dardanelles, drifted out of
the strait entrance, according to a
message from tho island of Tenedos.
Boats . were put out . to pick up the
floating corpses' frOni the Bouvet, in
order ' that they might be buried at
sea with naval honors, ' '
- Nearly half the bodies of the French
sailors were mangled. Tills confirmed
the report from correspondents who
observed the battle that the Bouvet
was shaken by, the explosion of a
mine of tremendous power and sug
gested that the Turks,, working under
the direction of German officers, had
devised u new form of floating ininj
more terrible than any hitherto known.
The allied aviators reported to Ad
miral de Robeck today that two trou
blesome Turkish batteries south of
Kilid Bahr were completely demolished
by the warships' fire. Piles of dbrls
lie inside Kilid Bahr Itself, the avia
tors reported, and Chanak fort, on tho
