PRESIDENT OF DEFUNCT
BANK "MAKES GOOD"
Over 7(100 Acres of Whrat Land Val
ued at $250,000, in Eastern Oregon
and Washington, Deeded by Walter
H. 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. This
sum will fall far short of every cer
of repaying the losses which will
reach to more than 31,000,000.
"PORTLAND DAY" SUCCESS.
Over 80,000 People Attended State
Fair on Thursday.
"Portland Day" was the best day
the Oregon state fair has ever expe
rienced, says the Salem Statesman
Portland certainly showed Its loy
alty to the state Institution In the
handsome manner In which the citi
zens turned out.
The crowd Is estimated, all records
having been lost by the rush and
jam at the main gate when the Port'
land rush came on, at approximately
30,000 and the attendance would
have been Increased materially had
the Southern Pacific transportation
facilities been equal to the occasion.
Three special excursion trains, car
rying from 12 to IB coaches each,
pulled In at the fair grounds between
0 o'clock In the morning and noon
bearing approximately between 4300
and 6000 souls, and it la estimated
that 1000 tickets were sold In Port
land, the purchasers of which the
company could not accommodate
and were disappointed. Furthermore
It Is stated that from 1000 to 2000
people who desired to come to tha
fair were refused tickets and could
not even get Into the yards.

he considered an argument He said
that Rulck said the responsibility
for the Indictments would be on his
shoulders.

the defense, and Latham told the

his vote on the Indictments, but was
shut off by the foreman.

served Jury before?" "Yes," said the
witness. "Was Rulck district attor
ney then?" "Yes," said the witness.

ARE ASKING HELP

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.
Examination for Carriers.
A civil service examination for post
office clerks and carriers will be held
at the postofflce In this city on Sep
tember 25. Any one desiring to take
this examination may secure Inform

ant Will Visit Scene of the

SPEAK WELL OF HTM.
Bad Reputation of Myers Was Testi
fied to by Many Residents of Cab
bage HUL While the Same Witnesses
Unanimously Commended the Char
aiter of the Defendant) All Testi
mony Now Taken With Possible Ex
ception of One Witness to Be Here
Monday Court Win Drtve From
Meacham to Cabbage Hill.
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. The party will take the early
morning train to Meacham and drive
from there to Cabbage Hill. They will '.
return in the evening and on Tuesday
the case will doubtless be given tha
Jut.
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.
