Representative Hawley Says
One of Farm Loan Banks
Should Be Located Here,
NEAREST TO THE FARMS
Oregon Bepresentatlre Says He Will
Borrow Himself, to Show His Con
fidence In the Sural Credit Ltw.
SCENE OF RECENT HEAVY RAINSTORM IN SHERMAN COUNTY
Washington. July 13. (WASHING
TON BL'RKAU OK THE JOURNAL.)
Rffireseniative Hawley expects to
be oe of tho early patrons of tho fed
eral farm loan, or rural credits uybtem.
by becoming toemb'er of a IocaJ u60-
clatlon in Oregon and borrowing Irom
tlie new storehouse.
Mr. Hawley nays he is not s much
In need of the money, but desires to
show hta good faith and his confidence
In the rural credits law, whi;i he
liclped to frame. Among his other in
vestments he has an unimproved farm
of over 100 acreH out from Albanv. and
lie expects to put gome Improvements
upon It with mquey borrowed from the
government.
Will form Association.
"When I go home this fall," ho says
"I hope to he able t form ft local
borrowing association, and thereby
borrow snnm money to Improse that
land. The new law will certainly be of
great benefit to the farmers of the
country, because It will enable them
to obtain loaiifi for improvements at a
rate lower than they can get from the
banks, and a thin rate of payment on
th amortization plan they can pay off
principal an well as Interest.
"I do not believe this feature of the
rural credits law is well understood
and appreciated by the farmers s yet
J look for the hjntcm to be a otnplete
ucces.M.''
Portland as Central Point.
Mr. Hawley thinks a good argument
can be presented for locating one of
the farm loan banks In Portland, mak
ing It the center of the rural iiedit
system for the Pacific -oat and
northwestern states. A better cs can
be presented, he argues, than was ad
vanced in Portland's behalf at the time
the location of the federal reserve
banks were under discussion.
There are 1 reserve banks, and
there ar. to be 12 land banks; out the
locations will presumably be governed
.by somewhat different reasons. The
object of the land bank will be to
serve the convenience of the gieatest
number of farmers in the producing
feglonx of the country, where the de
mand for loan. i mat be expected to bo
moht active.
Direct to Farming' Section .
Portland, thinks Mr. Hawley. an
swers the requirements better than San
Kranclsio or any other coast city, be
cause of its proximity to the (arm
regions of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and western Montana, and it in be
lieved this region will make greater
demands upon the rural credit ystem
than will California.
Kasterly from the Sierra Nevada
mountains of ('aliforn..i there Is com
paratively a limited territory for farm
ing until rtah is reached, and that
state may fall into another bmkini;
rone. I'nlike the case of the reserve
.c.rx.-. .-.uric me easi nuuraiiy mid a
heavy claim, it Is expected that the
need for fa in loan banks will center
principally in the west, and south

BE PROTECTED FROM
FIRE BY GOVERNMENT
Washington. July 13. While the lan
guage of the clause In the sundry civil
bill appropriating $2."). 000 for protec
tion of Oregon A California land grants
from trespass and fire is inexact, it is
believed" that this will be overlooked
and tho money disbursed for the pur
pose intended.
The clause referred to describes the
lands as those Involved "In the case of
the United States versus Oregon &
California Railroad and others, suit
mimbered 3340, In the district court for
the district of Oregon, now pending on
appeal In the supreme court of the
United States."
As a matter of fact the ease la not

Want to Serve as Officers.
Washington, July 13. Since the na

has seemed a prospect of active serv
ice on the border or In Mexico, mem
bers of the. Oregon delegation have re
ceived letter from a number of offlcera
of the national guard and from civil
ians who would be glad to receive com
missions If volunteers are called for.
The war department has given little
encouragement to such requests, which
have been merely "placed on file" in
case there should ne a call ror volun
teers, an event which now seems re
mote. Congressman McArthur has received
a numher or requests irom men seeK-

T
Louie Seik, Chinese Mer
chant, Is Found Guilty by
Jury After Hard Defense,
Kinnott Will Ponder Awhile.
Washington. July 13. Congressman
Sinnott has received from Ben W. Ol-
cott, secretary of state of Oregon", three
certificates of nomination for congress,
bv the Republican, Democratic and
Progressive parties. Owing to the un
usual circumstances under which trie
Democratic nomination was awarded to
him, he says he will "look the matter
up'" before acting in the way of formal
acceptance.
Under his correct name he received
more votes in the Democratic primary
than James Harvey Graham, whoso
name was also written in, received.
Counting all votes cast under mistaken
initials, Kinnott and Graham were tied.
From statements in eastern Oregon
newspapers purporting to come from
Graham since the primaries it appears
that Graham raises some contention as
to the issuance of the nomination cer-
tl.'icate to Sinnott and the congress
man will ponder the matter while
awaiting further information.

his candidacy for another term. In

adds, "I feel that I can still better

The trial was the firs't move in the

The opium was found in a tin box

Other witnesses were Patrolman W.

Under the new arrangement, Mr.
Pendleton retains the presidency and
Mr. Hammond becomes vice-president.

Hammond, his son, J. W. Hammond,
and J. M. Pendleton.
Mr. Hammond occupies a high place'

gon and in the New Kngland states,
where he formerly resided. Prior to
coming to Oregon, six years ago, in
search of health, he operated several
stores In Massachusetts, including one
at Woburn, Mass . which had been es
tablished by his father In 1831.
Mr. Hammond still retains an Inter

stores in Portland and other Oregon
cities, including the "Toggery" at Sa
lem, which he owned for two years. He
is also president of the Hammond
