Moore, President of Oregon Trust and Savings Company to Re eclver DcvllihS-Thls Amount Will Fall Far Slmrt of Paying Losses. In his efforts to help reimburse the depositors of the defunct Oregon Trust and Savings bank, which re- cently failed In Portland, Walter H. Moore, president of the bank, with his wife, Mrs. Laura Moore, trans ferred to the receiver of the bank, Thomas Devlin, 7496 acres of rich farming lands in Multnomah, Morrow and Sherman counties. In Oregon, and in Franklin county, Washington, valued at 3250,000. The deed to the receiver is made absolute and there are no provisions attached, It being the wish of Mr. Moore that the property be used to the best advantage In repaying the extraordinary 'losses sustained by the depositors of the bank. While this act on part qf Moore is commendable, yet It Is the common sentiment that It deserves no special commendation, as the president of the bank and all its other officers are In duty bound to make good every cent of the loss to depositors.

ARE ASKING HELP FROM PENDLETON LONG CREEK WANTS TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION Twelve Miles Between Uklah and Dale Not Supplied With 'Phone Line Long Creek People Are Try ing to Raise $400 in Public Sub scriptions to Build the Line and Ask Pendleton to Help Will Give Pendleton a Continuous Line to the Interior. Another emphatic demonstration of the fact that Pendleton la now and will continue to be the commercial center of eastern Oregon is brought to the minds of business men this week, in the efforts of John Day peo-t pie to raise funds by public subscrip tions, with which to complete 12 miles of telephone line needed to connect this city with Long Creek, 80 miles south of here. L. F. Reslng, a representative of the people of Long Creek and Grant county, is In Pendleton for the pur pose of securing help to build a cons ncctlng link of 12 miles in the Long Creek-Rltter Telephone company line between Dale and Uklah, by which the people of that section will have direct telephone connections with this city. As it is the only commu nication is by way of Baker City, over 200 miles out of the way. The Long Creek-Rltter line ex tends from Long Creek to Dale, a portion of the way being on barbed wire fences, but It is In working or der most of the time, but there Is a gap of 12 miles between Dale and Uklah not supplied with a line and the people of Long Creek are making every effort to secure help from this city In raising 3400 needed to build that 12 miles of line. As the line from this city now reaches to Uklah, the completion of the line between Uklah and Dale would give Pendleton direct commu nication with practically every farm house over and with every town and postofflce from this city and Long Creek In tha Interior of the state. As the freight for all the Long Creek district is now hauled out from this city the people of that section desire direct telephone communica tion and are asking Pendleton to help get It.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon the de fense In the Rhonlmus trial rested Its case, though Judge Fee stated that he had another witness yet to examine. As he cannot be here until Monday the defendant'a attorney asked that the rebuttal evidence be heard this afternoon and the additional witness- used next week. This plan was as sented to by the lawyers for the state and a brief recess was then declared1 by Judge Bean. -r- It Is the expectation to have the re buttal evidence completed this even ing and on Monday morning the court- Jury, attorneys and the defendant himself will all go to the scene of the killing.

Bad Reputation Aired. ' After having finished with Rhonl mus' personal recital of the killing of Myers and the incidents leading up to the affair, Judge Fee, attorney for the defense, then began the introduc tion of evidence tending to show the bad character of Myers and the gen eral good reputation of his own cli ent. ( Yesterday afternoon many well known McKay creek ranchers were called to the stand In succession and almost as one declared that Myers had the reputation in that communi ty of being a horse thief and a cattle rustler. Among those called were Dave Home, J. W. Winn, Joe Hub bard, Frank Hubbard, G. F. Dunn, Willis Fee, James Isaacs, Ernest Isaacs, Harry Folsom, Allen Rhodes and others. , Neighbors Upholding Rhonlmne. When the above line of evidence was completed the same men were recalled and testified as to the good reputation of Rhonlmus, both for truth and veracity and peace and quietude. Until Dick Adams was upon the stand no testimony had ever been pro duced upon the subject of the de fendant's standing for peacefulness. Adams testified that his reputation In that regard was good and the admis sion allowed of a cross-examination by the state upon that point. With successive questions Colonel Raley Inquired If the witness had ever heard of Rhonlmus having trouble with or drawing a gun, at dif ferent times, ' upon E. P. Marshall, John Temple, Sam Bell, Allen Rhodes, Alice Padawah and others. However, the witness had heard of no such oc currence, though he remembered of the old man's being arrested (or some trouble with two boys, Morris and Rhodes, who were said to have been tormenting him. When the other witnesses recalled were asked the same questions It was found they were likewise In ignorance of any trouble excepting that with the two boys and with Myers. Old man Rhodes denied he had ever had any serious trouble with Rhonl mis, but said his son had once been accused of stealing by the old man. However, he says that the charge was untrue and that Rhonlmus afterwards found that out. PUTER TO BE PARDONED. Portland, Sept. 21. S. A. D.
