Successful Convention Since Forma
tion of Association Visitors Loud
in Their Irale of Treatment Ac
corded Them.
The most enjoyable and in every
way, most successful convention of
bankers ever held in Oregon was
brought to a close in this city Satur-,
day night. The concluding feature of
the meeting and one of the most im
portant, was the banquet given by the
local hankers In honor of their guests
at the Quelle cafe. Toasts were given,
healths were drunk and .the bankers
local and visiting made merry un
til a lnte hour. Then, tired and worn,
but happy, as u result of their two
strenuous days of pleasure and busi
ness, with the former feeling pre
dominating, they took their departure
for their various homes. All were
loud in their praises of the treatment
they ha received at the hands of the
"Convention City of Oregon."
Saturday had been given up almost
entirely to the entertainment side of
the convention and the banquet Sat
urday night was a fitting close to a
day which started out with a won
derful automobile ride through miles
of waving wheat, up the gorge of the
Umatilla river to Wenaha springs, one
of the most beautiful spois In the
northwest. Even the visitiag hank
ers from tlii-' Palousc country who
had been led to believe that they
lived In the greatest wheat country
on earth were forced to admit that
they had never seen anything like
the Umatilla county wheat belt.
At the brief business session held
t Wenaha Springs hotel, officers were
elected for the ensuing year and Fred
C. Mock of Portland delivered his in
teresting address on "The Reason of
Things" which he was scheduled to
deliver Friday afternoon. He was de
layed at the Idaho State Bankers'
convention in Twin Falls and for that
reason did not arrive In time for the
first day's session.
The officers chosen were as fol
lows: President, Alex Martin. Jr., cashier
Of the Klamath County bank of Kla
math Falls. v
Vice president, H, D. Durham, vice
president of the Merchants' National

ville: C. R. Higglns, Astoria; William

place of meeting was left to the ex
ecutive committee.
A total of $300,000,000 was repre
sented by the convention dolegagtes.
That Is the amount of deposits in the
banks represented at the Pendleton
meeting. The capital stock of the
banks represented is more than $60,
000.000. The retiring president of the or
ganization, It. W. Schmeer of the
United States Bank of Portland, act
ed as toastmastcr at the closing ban

MESSAGE TELLS OF
TRAGEDY IN DESERT
San Bernardino, June 27.
"I am lost and the heat is
terrific. Am three days , out
from Pannmint and my water
is gone.' This message was
penciled on a leaf torn from a
note book, dated May 30 and
found near Wlngaie Pass, In
Death Valley by O. L Mont-
gomery, a prospector who has
Just returned. The paper Is dls-
colored and blistered by the
heat. Montgomery says he
searched the desert or miles
but could not find any trace of
the body.
Ing vice prcHldont of the association,
who will next year bo exalted tothe
position of president.. Attorney Dan
I. Smythe of this city, though nut a
banker, was present at the banquet
and was forced to respond to the en
thusiastic calls of his friends. He
proved equal to the occasion and at
the conclusion of his toast glasses were
clinked and his health drunk, with
the banqueters standing.
The convention proved a most
pleasant event for the city as well as
for the visiting bankers, many of
whom declared thnt never had they
been afforded more royal entertain
ment In a city in the country than
was accorded them here.
PEARY TO HE TRIED
FOR STEALING FURS
Berlin, June 27. It Is expected that
counsel for Commander Robert E
Peary will urge that the German
courts have no Jurisdiction to try the
case when the suit brought against
the polar discoverer by Rudolph
Francke is called for a hearing tomor
row.
Francke was associated with Dr.
Frederick A, Cook in north polar ex
ploration, and alleges that Peary
found him ill at Etah and took advan
tage of his condition to secure his
collection of furs, walrus and narwhal
teeth as the price for transporting him
homeward. Francke demands $10,
000 as the value of the Arctic pro
ducts which he says he handed over
to the commander. The suit was
brought in the Berlin courts, notice
of the action being served upon Peary
when he arrived here to fill a lecture
engagement.
Rudolph Francke, who is now In
Germany, was brought back from the
Arctic regions in tho Peary relief
ship Erik. When the controversy
over the discovery of the north pole
waxed warm, partisans of Cook
charged that certain Arctic trophies
and supplies left at Etah by Cook,
and owned by him. or Jointly by Cook
and Francke had been made use of
by the Peary party. The accusations
were promptly and vigorously denied
by Commander Peary.

SWUNG n
YOUNG MAN DROWNED
AT COE YESTERDAY
John Pipo, Native of Finland, Finds
Watery Grave While Bathing
Could Not Swim and Became
Frightened at Deep Water At
tcmps at Rescue Fail.
i The Umatilla river claimed its first
victim of the present swimming sea
son ye-terday afternoon about 3
' oYloek w hen John Pipo was drown
; ed at Coe siding, abou; 12 miles west
: of Pendleton. Pipo, who was a native
! of Finland and 22 year.- of age, could
i not swim, but in company with two
o;)nr young men. iv.lwaid Davis and
1 Thomas Kononon, was bathing in the
' river.
Coroner Ralph Folsoni was notified
of the drowning late in the evening
and was summoned to the scene, ar
riving about 2 o'clock this morning.
The body had been recovered a short
time before that hour and at the re
quest of the father of the Davis boy
an inquest was held. The verdict of
the coroner's jury was that death re
sulted from accidental drowning.
It seems'that though Pipo could not
swim he was being piloted across a
very deep hole on a broad board by
his two companions. When in the
center of the stream he jumped off
and yelled and before his companions
could reach him, had drowned. It is
supposed that he became so badly
frightened at finding himself in deep
water that he lost his head.
The alarm was sounded and soon
fifty men were searching the river in
an effort to recover the body. La
borers had been summoned from the
construction camps at Coe and all
hands turned in to find the body.
Though there were many expert swim
mers und divers in the party, the task
of recovery proved a very difficult
one. Finally one of the searchers lo
cated the body by means of a pole,
nearly 20 feet long, whereupon Glenn
Rusher dove and brought it to the
surface. The man's clothing had
caught on a sharp point of rock.
The deceased was employed by
Sam Davis at the time of his death
and prior to that time he had work
ed for Isaac Hagen, Jack Ware and
Charles Johnson. He came to this
country when 17 years of age and all
of his relatives are in Finland.
