Harris j SAPliUUARDS STATE BANKING Commission Is Drafting Law for Ap proval of Ntxt Oregon Legislature. A committee of Oregon bankers composed of K. W. Haines of Forest Grove, II. Hlrscliberg, of Inde pendence, and E. V. Carter of Ash lam, appointed by the Oregon State Bankers' Association for the purpose, has for some time been engaged in formulating a law for the regulation of state banks, and it is expected to huve the draft of the proposed measure completed next week. It is calculated not only to safeguard the depositors but will be welcomed by legitimate banking institutions. Bankers as well as depositors are agreed upon the advisability of regu lation of state banks, by law, in Ore gon and it is thought there will be no objection to the proposed measure which is being framed with much care. Banks other than National that are doing business in Oregon will be com pelled to prepare and submit three statements of their condition each year and will be examined annually by a State Bank Commissioner, when the new law now being prepared by a committee from the Oregon State Bankers' Association is enacted. No opposition to the bill is expected, and it is thought that if any changes are made in the act now being framed, they will be of a minor nature. Under the proposed law a State Bank Commissioner will bo appointed, and to him will be submitted statements showing in detail the standing and condition of all state banks and bank ing houses in Oregon. He will ex amine each and every one of these banks annually. The provision requiring three re ports by banks each year is considered the most important feature of the bill and it is believed that it will prove a great protection and safeguard to de positors. An impoitant provision is that no bank shall have more than half its paid-in stock and surplus invested in real estate, in which is included bank buildings and furnishings. No more than 50 per cent of the paid-in stock and surplus shall bo loaned on real estate. Provision is made that banks affected by the now law must keep at least 15 per cent of their deposits in cash. The stockholders shall be liable for twice the amount of the stock sub scribed, the same as stockholders in National banks. Banks, before open- ng, must secure charters and must have a capital of not less than $10,00, which will be graded according to the population of the cities in which the nstitutions are located. At least su per cent of the capital stock must be paid in when a bank begins business and the balance not later than six months thereafter. There are about 100 banking insti tutions in the state that will be affected by the new law. At present, state in stitutions are not governed by any state law, and banks can be opened as easily as grocery stores. Asiuanu Tidings. FINE SHEEP IN POLK INSANE GIRL'S DEED Kills Her Cousin, W. B. Palmer, of Monmouth, Without Word of Warning. Exhibit by Ladles of Presbyterian Church Admired by Many Visitors. A terrible tragedy occurred early Monday morning at the home of Eu gene Talmer four miles east of Albany, when his daughter, Melcina rainier, shot and instantly killed her cousin, William Palmer, of Mon mouth. The deed was committed dur ing a lit of iusanity. The Albany Herald gives the following account of the sad affair: The shooting took place in the sitting room of the Palmer home. The victim and his uncle were sitting by the stove engaged in conversation, having just finished breakfast. While thus en gaged, Melcina Palmer, quietly and unobserved by her father and cousin, entered the room and sat down on a couch directly behind the two men, and close to the door. Hearing a slight noise, the father turned and was horrified to see his daughter draw a pistol from beneath a fold in her dress. Before he could move or even speak the woman had leveled the gun at her cousin and fired. The bullet penetrated his skull just at the base of the brain. Without utter ing a sound, the crazed woman's victim collapsed in his chair, blood gushing from the wound. It was all done so suddenly that the girl's father could make no move to prevent the tragedy. When he did jump from his chair his daughter had half turned, still holding the smoking weapon in her hand. She soemed about to shoot herself, but before she could make any further movement Mr. Palmer had seized her, and wrested the gun from her grasp. Since her childhood, the woman has been mentally weak, and at times has had violent spells. When quite young, she one day is said to have swallowed carbolic acid, which burned her severely, and ever since she has been subject to convulsions, supposed to be due to the effects of the acid. She is now 28 years old. About two and a half years ago the girl attempted to commit suicide, shootincr herself in the brenst. The wound was only slight and she soon recovered. She was sent to the asylum for the insane at Salem where she re mained until September, 1905. On three months parole she was allowed to come home, and at the expiration of this time, her conduct having been good, she was permitted to remain at home on the farm. She evinced no . . . i!l 4.1 signs or violent insanity unui uie tracrodv of Monday morning. She was removed to the asylum again Tuesday. The deceased was 32 years old, and unmarried. His parents reside at Monmouth. The annual chrysanthemum show given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church last Friday afternoon and 'euing was largely attended and was great success, financially and other wise. Two long tables in the main hall of the Woodman building were covered with these beautiful winter owers, and nicely arranged booths at the side of the hall added to the attractiveness of the exhibit. Some very fine specimens of chrysan themums of various colors and varieties were shown, and a huge boquet contributed to the fair by John Embree was admired by all visitors. The first prize for the best collective exhibit was won by Mrs. Martha Cosper, whose flowers are among the finest in Polk county. The second prize went to Mrs. David Critchlow. The prizes for tho test single white and yellow flowers were both won by Mrs. H. B. Cosper, and the prize for the best single pink flower by Mrs. Ljdia D'Lashmutt. These single flowers were of immense size, and were perfect specimens of their kind. he judges of exhibits were Mrs. Dr. Mark Hayter, Mrs. E. W. Fuller and Miss Ednelle Collins. Many people visited tho show in the afternoon and the hall was crowded in the evening. Vocal solos by Mrs. C. G. Coad, Mrs. J. C. Uglow and Miss Opal McDcvltt was greatly enjoyed by all, and a reading by Mrs. D. Julian Becker was a feature of the eveni ig's entertainment. A home-made candy booth was well patronized, and another booth at which were sold many pretty articles of fancy work brought the ladies a neat sum of money. The net receipts of the fair were $72. The women contributing to the pretty exhibit of flowers were Mrs. M. M. Elhs, Mrs. Lydia D'Lashmutt, Mrs. Martha Cosper, Mrs. II. B. Cosper, Mrs. Willis Simonton, Mrs. Alice Dempsey, Mrs. David Critchlow, Mrs. J. D. Smith and Miss Ednelle Collins. Demand for Registered woiswuius and Lincoins Greatly Exceeds Supply. About the only thing breeders of registered Cotswolds and Lincoins in Pnlk countv have to complain of at the present time is that the demand for bucks has become so goou um me buyers who come after them are getting into the habit of buying almost anything whose looks will pass muster. These buyers probably sell thfim as the ccnuine article. The high reputation of Polk county s Cotswolds and Lincoins has been at It of the skill and hrnnrh methods of a few breeders.

Attend Teachers' Convention. C. L. Starr, school superintendent of Polk county; E. D. Itesslor, president, and C. A. ltico, principal of the train ing department of the Oregon State Normal School, attended the annual meeting of the Western Division of the State Teachers' Association in Portland this week. President ltessler led the advanced section of the Gram mar School Department; Superin tendent Starr delivered an address on "Industrial School Life," and Profes sor Rico spoke on "Numbers." B. F. Mulkey, president of the Ashland Normal School, presided over the three days' meeting. The Portland teachers are proud of the fact that they are able, with their new flre drill, to empty the high school hiiildincr of its 1.000 pupils in two minutes. That's nothing to boast about. Just have the teachers announce "school is disraissod," and if every mother's son won't be out of the place in half a minute without any flre drill practice then young America is certainly losing a whole lot of its former activity.Eugeno Guard.
