One of tho chief topics of discussion at the recent meeting of the board was the removal of the forestry building from the Iwls and Clark fair grounds to a position near the front entrance to the state fair grounds, where it would attract the attention of travelers on the South ern Pacific. Because of Its great popularity and Interest as an advertising medium It Is thought probable that the Southern Pacific will be willing to transport the building from Portland to Salem free of charge, in order to have It lo cated upon tho line of that road, as an advertisement. Another meeting of tho hoard will be held in Portland about, January 10, at which time the matter of re moving the forestry building will be finally decided upon.

Kerbaugh has not ceas ed Issuing worthless checks since he left Pendleton, Is evident from the fact that two more have been sent te this city for collection. They were drawn in Chicago upon the Pendleton Savings bank. One of the checks was for the sum of $35, while the other was for but 110. They were sent fin collection to the First National baas of this city, and when presented at the Savings bank payment was refus ed for want of funds. It is known that Kerbaugh was for merly in business near Chicago and has a number of acquaintances is that city. Consequently, It may be In ferred that he followed the same tal lies in raising money there as he did In Pendleton, by prevailing upon tow friends fo take his checks as an ac commodation. Whether or not any criminal union will be taken against him there is not known, but it is thought to be probable. , So far those of this city who cash ed cheeks for Kerbaugh have not been repaid excepting B. C. Smith, O R. N. agent, who took one for SIS.' This check Mr. Smith sent direct to the Portland bank and it was paid hi them. However, those bold by Lee TeutBch, Lymnn Bros, and Fishmna A Peters have not been paid. No crimlnnl complaint has ever been ma.le here against Kerbaugh, as District Attorney Phelps holds there la no ground for such since he evi dently had some money in the Port land bank when he Issued the checks here. However, when he drew the checks on the Savings bank, Kerbaugh made himself liable, as he had ne funds whatever In that Institution.
