000. The records show that pay-
meat for the balance was to be
made with votes corering a per
iod of fire years, and that the
annual salaries of each man were
lgin la Portland. Thus on Febru
ary 23- 1931. Mr. Mount address
ed an extensive letter to Judge j
Coshow as president of the Em
pire Holding company. Mount
asked no less than ten pointed
questions concerning Us opera-j cejTlnc $7500 from the state of
Mons and stock selling ans. Ac
cording to The Statesman's files,
the bulk of these questions were
centered around the especial sales
methods followed by Empire pro
moters. Jt is rltal to note, however, that
Mount's first two questions struck
at the keystone of the Empire
arch. Mount wrote as follows:
1. It is our understanding that
no stock of the corporation will
be used for promotion purposes
Oregon as its ranking jurists, was
not an Idle gesture, but was a sol
emn oath, subscribed and duly
sworn to and attested, and that
100 days from the time it was
taken, the iud.ee maintained a
consistent front. Thus he disarmed
criticism which the Better Bus
iness Bureau in Portland might
hare given by writing it Febru
ary 24, 1931, that the officers
and directors had made no stock
payments to the Empire Holding
br Issued to officers, directors or company in anything but cash or
others except tor cash, is tnis un-1 securities subject to state trust

2. Do officers and directors ana Thft statesman has been asked

He also established the Browns
ville Woolen mills, and later tha
Thomas Kay Woolen mills at Sa
lem, to the operation et which heJ
devoted himself up to the time of
hia death: which occurred la
1900. His wife died la 1918. To
Jtfdga and Mrs. Coshow were bora
born five children, namely: Elis
abeth K who was tha wife of
Dr. Earle B. Stewart, of Rosa
burg. Oregon, and died July 14.
1913; Hazel, the wife of K. H.
Pickens, of Salem; Lenoro Dale,
the wife of Charles T. Thompson,
of Portland; Bertha Leone, the

ryn. who died In Infancy. The
mother of these children passed

Surprise Punt is
Factor for W. TJ.
A Sl-yard punt by Paul from
close formation, followed soon by
a 29-yard gain from scrimmage by
Ross, placed the Bearcats on the
Pirates' 15-yard Una. Chuck "Moe

a touchdown. The kick was block

The Bearcats' bag of tricks con
tained too many duplications, for
the next attempted quick kick
from close formation was blocked
and Albany recovered on Willam
ette's Sl-yard line. Buchanan and
Adamscheck bored through the
Bearcats, who were now weary
from a continued offense, and with
the help of Clocker, packed the
ball to scoring territory. .
Bob Buchanan went around

also kicked the goal, making the
scare 19 to 7.
Ia the third quarter .Jack Con
nor replaced MeRea at end and
recovered a fumble on the Pirates'
lS-yard line. A weak side run lost
two yards and on tha following
play Paul shot a pass to tha flat
which was taken by Adamscheck
for a 90-yard ride to a touchdown.
Two men tackled Paul when ha
passed tha ball and no one was
left to protect. The kick went
