It will apparently take the re
mainder of the week to hear testi
mony In tho circuit court before
Judge If. V. Norton, In tho suit
' of J. E. Enyart ugaintrt F. K. Mer
rick, ct al, wherein ho seeks a one
fourth property intercut and one
fourth of land sales in the Nata
tori u in Amusement company of
this city. The history of tho "Nat"
and its many financial transac
tions Is being told from the witness
stand.
J. K. Enyart, one of the original
backers of the institution, was on
the stand this morning, and iden
' titled notes, mortgagoa, checks and
, other -legal documents issued in the
' earl stages of the Natatorium,
whon W. 31. Brown was prenldont
and John S. Orth was secretary.
Orth sold out to the other direct
ors in 1-911. Enyart was cross
examined by the defense, who are
endeavoring to show that the Mer
rick expended labor and cash to
make the place a success.
New lMiuso Shown.
Tho matter of "equitable trus
toeshlp" cropped out today as one
of tho legal phase's in the involved
life of tho Natatorium. Testimony
and documents were introduced to
show that F. E. Merrick had liqui
dated many of the financial obli
fc gations, including the payment of
the $15,000 borrowed from Col.
Gordon Voorhics, and a number of
promissory notes.
It was agreed between counsel,
that tho deposition of Walter D.
Merrick of Los Angeles would be
taken, instead of having him ap
pear in person.
After he returned from Oregon
Agricultural college, ho was man
ager of tho Natatorium in 1912
1913. Tho plaintiff holds that AV.
H. Brown was acting in this ca
pacity wflicn tho Natatorium was
transformed Into a motor inn, tak
ing advantage of the heavy Pacific
highway travel, to end tho lean
years.
To prove- that Ireland does have
(makes, tho Dublin zoo will ex
hibit a specimen, nearly three
feet lonr, which was found by a
child while playing in a Dublin
frarden.

Set and maintains it to tho end.
La no Chandler, the star, plays
for all he is worth. 3Io goes to it
with a bang and never stops until
he -puts tho villains where -they

wholmlng odds, and determines to
round up the border counterfeiters
ho has , set out to trap. After ho
has completed his job ho turns to
the girl who nursed him when ho
was wounded and finds happiness
wiih her.
Chandler is supported by a strong
cast of well known players who
give him the backing deserved by
first class actor. Sheldon Iewis,
usual, is a convincing villain,
while Yakima Canutt surpasses his
usual high standard and Aline
Goodwin makes a pleasing heroine.!

about a steady and certain rocov
oiy In business. .
.
Tho last figures which wo gut
from Washington, D. C, head
quarters Is that sonio 4,000,000 aro
unemployed in U. S. Emergency
bills, aro being rushed through to
help relieve this situation. Each
ono ot us can and should help.
l''our'cnn bo minimized when wo
look al facta . . . Money and credit
Is plentiful; savings accounts aro
growing; commodities are at rec
ord low prices and Inventories aro
low. Tho worst of tho business de
pression Is behind us, but peoplo
haven't shaken off tholr fenrs.
This Is a timo for work, not plat
itudes. To say: "Cheer up, busl
Iness is good," when thero Is no
business, accomplishes nothing, not
ovon optimism. - -.
Money put into circulation will
find its way back Into channnls
which aro bound to brlug develop
ment, und prosperity. .
Ono of Iho most accuralo Index
to tho business situation is MK1(.
CIIANDISINU, especially through
tho Department stores, whether
largo or small. An Improvement ln
employment and an increase ill
purchasing power can be brought
about when producers aro busy

when the consumer has begun to
