MINISTERS FIXD POOR
FARM TREATMENT GOOD
Ministerial Association, County Judg,
District Attorney and Stenographer
Fail to Flikl Any Evidence of Mis
management at County Institution
Men V1k) Complain Weaken
When Interrogated.
An inspection of the conditions at
the poor farm was made yesterday
afternoon by four members of the
local ministerial association and since
they have been through the Institution
the churchmen speak in a most com
plimentary' way of the institution.
The inspection was made at the In
stance of Rev. Storey of the Baptist
church, to whom complaints had been
made regarding the treatment of
some of the poor farm inmates. Yes
terday morning the ministers took
the matter to County Judge Gllllland
and the judge Immediately proposed
that nn Investigation be made that
afternoon. . . T.i,'
Accordingly a party consisting of
Messrs. Storey, Qulnney, Meldrum and
Lieu.illen. Dsitrict Attorney Phelps,
County Judge Gilliiand and Commis
sioner Horace Walker and C. J. Fer
guson as stenographer, was formed.
I P'"m arriving at the poor farm
different Inmates were in turn brought
before the group and aftr first be
ing sworn, were asked numerous
questions regarding their general care
and treatment.
Without exception those questioned
all spoke favorably of Superintendent
McDIll and said the food given them
and their general care was all that
could be desired.
When the two old men who had
previously complained to Mr. Storey,
were questioned, they both Insisted
that they had no complaints of any
consequence.
Accordingly the visitors returned
to the city fully satisfied with the
administration of the poor farm and
they now speak in a congratulatory
manner of the work done by Joe Mc-Dlir.

Counterfeiters Busy In Different Parts
of the Country Appear in Oregon.
Counterfeiters In several parts of
the country have been busy during
the winter and recently efforts of their
work have Just appeared In the mar
ket. Notification of three new spuri
ous notes have been received by the
treasury department officials In Port
land.
Ono of them is a $20 gold certifi
cate and while It is a good represen
tation of the original issue by Vncle
Sam. the color is-a little off, the
counterfeiter not being particular re
garding the ink, the result being that
his new bill Is the shade of a nice
ripe lemon instead of the orange
shade in the genuine bills.
This new bill turned up in New
York. It is remarkably well done,
the counterfeiter having paid partic
ular attention to nearly all the minor
details except the color. The bill was
done by means of photo etched plates,
afterward given impressions on two
sheets of paper with silk threads between.
Another of the recent bills first was
discovered In southeastern Missouri
and was evidently the work of farmer
boys who tired of following the plow
and doing chores about the old home
stead had decided to get rich quick
and Jive with ease without working,
fncle Sam xrill attend to the question
of meSls ?ua oeas v rju"t
if they are caught.
This note Is a particularly crude
affair of the national bank note of the
$10 denomination. It Is also the re
sult of photo etched plates and the
Ink being rough and carelessly han
dled. It Is a poor Imitation. An
other note which has recently appear
ed Is that of a silvnr certificate of the
Indian head variety,

a call by William Moore, then chair
man, for the purpose of electing a
chairman for the ensuing two years
and for other business.
The meeting was quite enthusiastic
and harmonious and it Is to be re
tread of legion" and "Statement No.
1" Is hereafter an Inseparable func
tion of politics, and the people, re
gardless of party, are going to have a
voice In the election of U. S. senators
as well as In making their laws.
Party Is nothing, It Is a fraud,
when the political "boss" flagellates
It Into action at his bidding without
its members being advised. The peo
ple of all parties now realize it; and
It Is history too well known to gain
say that every Invasion of the people
upon the methods of the "boss" cause
him to "suueal."
Let the democratic party In Uma
tilla county and the state of Oregon
be guided by that ono living prlclple
"The people shall rule."
Remember the date, May 2, 190S, at
1 p. m..
Very respectfully, your most obedient
servant.

building was erected by a brewing
company many years ago and was
purchased by "Dutch" 'Henry a few
years ago to be used as a coal storage

might be expedient. It was further
agreed that a general invitation be
given to all democrats of trie county

The salutary principles of our pn-
mary election law are meeting i.n
the- hearty approval of all parties, es
pecially the great mass of the com
mon people, and the "boss." the "Job

gon politics is noticeably getting to
be a thing of the past.
An era of good, clean, wholesome
government In which all of the peo
ple are at liberty to take an active
part Is now at our service. But po
litical parties are very essential, un
der our system of government, and
democracy must continue to play Its
part; this Is why, at this time, In this
county, we are seeking to have a gen
eral meeting of the various commit
teemen and democrats In ganeral on
the aforesaid date.
We must understand each other;
must know where we are, and as lorm
as I am chairman of the.feentral com
mittee no "Jobs' 'shall be put up; no
"bosses" shall rule, but the people
who compose the democratic party
In Umatilla county shall be heard,
and It shall be my purpose to Keep
In touch with the demands of the
party as nearly as I can and I earn
estly solicit the hearty co-operation
of every member of the party.
"Statement No. 1" and the princi
ples of the primary law In general
are likely to be a happy "Incurable
Itch," resulting In a revolution of po
litical methods. The results of the
recent primary election show the In

"Known For Its Strength"
Vhat It Means
Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One of the
functions of
A Bank's Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec
tion the depositors have.
This bank has a
Capital of .... 200,000.00
Surplus Fund of . . 50,000.00
Undivided Profits . . 25,000.00
Additional Shareholders
Liability .... 200,000.00
A TOTAL OF 475 000.00
This means that this bank must lose prac
tically half a million dollars before its depo
sitors could lose a cent.
