BAD CHECK FLOOD
PUTS TWO MEN IN
THE, DALLES JAIL
The Dalles, Jan. 17. Flooding the
city with checks Saturday night after
the banks were closed, J. H. Adams.
22 years old, and Roy Bricker, alias
Steve "Shannon. 21 years old, it Js al
leged,' procured nearly $1000 in cash
and several hundred dollars worth
of merchandise Before they were
captured by the police and deputy
sheriffs early-Sunday morning.
Fifteen unsecured checks have been
recovered by the police thus far. With
but one exception, all the principal busi
ness houses in the city were victimized.
Other checks are still In the possession
of merchants who have not yet discov
ered their fraudulent nature, the police
say. t
Bricker. w'ho declares that his home
is In Walla Walla,, was taken from a
train at the station about midnight by
Patrolmen McClaskey and Dunsmore.
The train had already started. Bricker
at first resisted arrest, the police say.
STAllT BANK ACCOUNTS
When Adams was arrested he was
anleen hut fullv dressed, in his room
at -a local hotel. He had left a call,
for an early train to Portland. He had
previously checked two suitcases for
Portland, and these were found to con
tain much of the goods that had been
purchased with-- the worthless checks,
it is said.
Merchants who had cashed the checks
were kept busy during the night and
Sunday identifying the men. Both have
made partial confessions, according to
Chief of Police Heater and Deputy Sher
iffs Klton and Scherrer.
According to McClaskey, the two men
came to The Dalles Thursday morning
from Walla Walla. They opened ac
counts for small amounts in separate
banks, the police say, ,pne depositing
iio, the other $50.
KVEX OHDEB BED
On Friday each parsed a couple of
small checks, it is, said, asking the mer
chants to call the banks to see if the
checks were good. Having satisfactorily
established their credit, no more checks
were negotiated until afternoon Satur
day and that night.
Then the two apparently worked both
sides qf Second street, the main street
of the Dalles, for all the traffic would
bear. Suits of clothes, half a dozen or
more silk shirts, many neckties and"
shoes were purchased in the clothing
line. Checks were tendered and money
was received in exchange.
At a jewelry store one of the ' men
purchased an expensive watch, tender
ing a $100 check, which was accepted.
At a furniiure store a bed was pur
chased and ordered delfvered Monday.
PAST RECORDS SOCGHT
Three, phonographs were purchased
with spurious checks, which were for
$100 in each instance. Each check was
honored.- The "purchasers" ordered all
the phonographs delivered to the same
address.
! Likewise, the pair rented rooms in
three hotels and in a private home in
the residential section.
: When Adams was arrested and searched
by the police, a roll of bills amounting
to $273 was found in one of his shoes.
Other money amounting to a consider
able sum was found on Shannon, the
police say.
Both men are held in the county Jail
without bail, .awaiting hearing Monday.
They are charged with obtaining money
by false pretenses. Efforts are being
made to secure their past records.
STORES FOOLED TWICE
The arrest of Bricker and Adams
comes immediately after the operations
of a younfr pretty woman who signed
checks as Miss Mary Wilson, last week,
and obtained $90 on two of the principal
department stores here. The fraudulent
nature of ,, -these checks was ascertained
Friday when no funds were reported at
the bank on which they were drawn. Both
of these stores, however, fell again for
the operations of Bricker and Adams.
Papers and a picture in Bricker's pos
session, the police say. indicated that
he was friendly with a young woman
in Walla Walla, and they advance the
theory that she may have cashed the
first two spurious checks. f

State Hatchery
Gets Indorsement
From Fisherman
Announcing, that the hatchery at Tide
water has proved a success, an account
of the activities of the plant appears
in a recent ; issue of the New York
Journal of Commerce. The article as
published follows :
"On account of the success of the
Oregon hatchery established at Tide
water,; Or., five years ago, as demon
strated last i year when the run of
salmon filled' the Alsea river, as pre
dicted by T. R. Pollock, superintendent,
the hatchery has -been . enlarged to
handle 15,00),00 eggs in place of 11,
000,000 handled last year.
"The beginning of the season finds
the hatchery running to its capacity,
having 3,H)O0jO0O Chinook "eggs and fry
and over 5,000.000 Silverside salmon eggs
on hand. The Steelheads will begin to
spawn about the middle of January and
the Silversides will continue until la'te
in March. ; , i
"As fast as they spawn the fry are
placed in the retaining ponds and trie
troughs are refilled with eggs. The
f ishway is open at present j and many
salmon find, their way out tj tHe Alsea
river and' pass on into its j tributaries,
which will insure an almost: inexhaust
ible supply of fish for future years.
"Although fishermen were rather
skeptical about the good to come of
the hatchery, their indorsement now is I
unanimous, as the first run, which was :
due five " years after establishing the i
hatchery, swamped the canneries at
Waldport, near the mouth of Alsea
river, last season. The burning of one
cannery unfortunately necessitated
many salmon being thrown into the
Alsea bay.":

Should Grab Trade
With! Russia; Big
Chance, Says Moran
1
"It would be suicidal for the United
S'tates to turn down billions of dollars
worth of trade with Russia because of a
desire to sit on the fence and preach
morals," T. J. Felix Moran, Northwest
ern representative of the Russian Ce
ment company, declared Saturday.
Moran says the United States govern
ment is passing up the opportunity to se
cure the trade of Russia, because of its
policy denying recognition to the Bol
shevik! regime, while England and
other nations are wording hard to se
cure the billions which Russians would
turn to this country.
"Russia, ljke China, prefers to give the
bulk of her business to i the United
States, and if this country ! would only
accept that business Which could be
done without recognizing the soviet gov
ernment and. would work for and accept
the trade of China, Japan and other, far
Eastern countries, now offered, our un
employment problem would be solved," in
Moran's opinion.
