"Things here, for instance, are very different from conditions in California, ' said Louis Bechtel, one member of the association.. Down there every storekeeper directs you to a real estate man, knowing that if you buy a home there and stay, it will eventually mean business for him." He related one incident of a local banker who, Bechtel said, advised one party who intended to purchase an apartment here to wait a year before investing." "After about 10 days of wait ing she left for Los Angeles," said Bechtel, "and I've never seen her since, I don't think the bank er she went to down there advis ed her to wait a year."

POOR DUMPED ON MARION BY OTHER COUNTIES Members of the Marlon county court are Incensed at the action of the Tillamook -county court In railroading Into this county Mrs. Mary Barnett and her five chil dren, wife and children of Floyd Barnett, Tlllamooli county boot legger who has recently arrived at the prison to serve a one year sentence. According to the Information re ceived the Tillamook county court told the mother If she remained in that county her children would be taken from her and placed In public homes. The mother at that left the county, coining here about two weeks ago to the home fo her parents In Woodburn. Her parents are unable to take on the extra load of the mother and five chil dren, and consequently she appear ed before the county court today seeking help. Tho court granted her $10 to keep her in food until Christinas and the Elks also agreed to take nn interest in tho case. The court will see that the family Is cared for but is outspoken in Us criticism of tho Tillamook court in seemingly deliberately taking such action as would drive the family out of the county where It should be cared for into tho coun ty where the man has been sent to prison. ' "Marlon county Is often made the goat . In propositions of this kind," stated County Judge Hunt. "Only recently a man was sent to Woodburn. His home was In was In Linn county and his family there. The Linn county court told the family they must move to Mar ion county as they belonged In tho county where the husband and fath er was In jail. "We are willing, able nnd do lake care of our own poor. Other counties should do the same." Xmas Plans Spread Out Free For AH Children (Continued from Page One) mas tree will bo gifts for all of the little boys and girls whom Santa Claus might otherwise for get, and who will have no trees at home. W. I. Needham, exalted ruler of the Elks, will preside over the festivities and other members of the lodge will assist during the evening. Today the principal worry of tho committee in charge of the Christmas Cheer movement is the slow response of the public to its oppoals for funds, which are be coming more urgently needed as the time grows shorter. Last year, with more than $500 contributed by the public, tho funds ran short before all of the children had been provided for and the Elks mado up tho deficit out ot tu welfare fund. Investigation this year reveals that the demands up on the committee will be fully as bfavy, if not heavier than last. Among the volunteers to aid in tho movement who have been heard from since yesterday is a group of girls In tho state indus trial accident commission ontce, who have been asked to be allow ed to play Santa Claus to some fatherless family of children.

Rigdon & Son dontlfled bank In which he pro posed that an examiner of the state banking department take over the management of tho bank at a salary ot $250 a month with the option ot buying the bank with 12 months, the stock in the meantime to be placed in escrow with the superintendent of banks. under the option sale to any oth er person was to be barred unless consent of the person holding the option wore given. This propos al of Rramwell was declared by will B. Haines, president of the Portland National bank, to have been unduly arbitrary. Defends His Course Defending his action B ram well today showed that the unidenti fied bank had been under Biir veillanco ot his department for four years. Its precurious condi tion was attributed mainly to tho fact that it holds Irrigation and lo cal improvements bonds of the state of Washington, which of late have been under fire. Bram well submitted correspondence showing that the cashier of tho bank wrote a Soattle nttorney say ing that "more than half our cap ital is Invested in these worthless bonds.'' Bramwell submitted a list of the bonds and their pres ent market value as ascertained by submitting them to two Port land bond houses for the benefit of the banking board. Bramwell said that when the bonds were examined by the Portland houses they did not know who held the bonds or what the purpose of the inquiry was. Should the uniden tified bank attempt to liquidate, said Bramwell, Its loss would be about $27,000. Forced Note Used Another startling disclosure fn Bra m well's testimony was that a certain note held by the bank, nnd which, when tho bank was ex amincd, the cashier claimed was EVERY HOME NEERS THIS Weather Prophet Advertised for $1.00 Our Price for a limited Time, with the Coupon, 690 This Good for S1.00 Weather House ProDhet Coupon and 69c A quaint Swiss cottage hygrometer, that pays for Itself in many ways.
