As ouf.readers are already aware we have,purchased: the material ou which th e’¿alter City Herald is now printed, and to rrieet our contracts we must liave m on ey by the first o f October. Those who are indebted'to us.owe us, individually, but small accounts, which WiU.hPt inconve nience them to pay at.any tim e, but when these smft fi’ "arnou nts are pu l together they make a large spin, the receiving of which will epabie us to ineet our engagements, and aid us in giving our readers a larger and betted frhpfer than we now do. The cittoens of Eastern. Oregon are all inter-, estedfin the p rosp eritya n d success of a good and live paper in their midst, and if each one who owes us will pay us what is honestly due. we pledge ourselves to en large and improve the D emocrat , with out addi.tidnal charge to our subscribers, so a s t o m a ie it second lo no paper in Or egon.

Do not forget we must have m oney by tbe 1st o f October. <ft -, : GOOD NEWS. Financial Panic About Over. By; reference to a notice in another col umn it will be seen that several of our most reliable business men, in conjunc tion with, one of the Assignees, Mr. C. M Foster,;have, made a complete and careful overhauling of the books and other m at ters connected with the Bank o f J. W. Virtue^ .and as will be seen from their statement, they find the bank to be per fectly solvent in Real Estate and other as sets to. meet all its liabilities, and then leave the snug sum of $115,295 91 to the credit o f J. W . Virtue. This is a showing made by gentlemen who are well known in our,community and are counted among ou r closest and most careful business men ; they are not the particular ai d personal friends,of Mr. Virtue when it comes down to business matters—they are business men and have acted in this matter as Bucb—and our ,people do,, and will have itiill confidence in their statements. W e, as well as our whole com m unity, are glad these, gentlemen have looked into this matter, and have seen fit to give to the p u b lic, the result of their investigations; we are also well pleased, tvs are our peo ple, that J. W . Virtue’s Bank is solvent, and.that the creditors of the same will not lose "onè cent, but instead will receive their just demands with interest, just as fast,as the assets can be realized. Our. bu siness men are satisfied with the report of the gentlemen who have made the inves tigation of Mr. Virtue’s affairs, and are anxious that he should go on with his bu siness, which he will do as soon as his creditor,s meet and accept his assignment. Money and other available securities to the amount o f $30.000 have already been offered1 Mr. Virtue to enable him to re sume business with. This shows the con- fiden.ee in which he is held by those who best .know him. He has the confidence aqd. go.o.d, feeling of his creditors and de positors here. They, as well as all of our citizens, know that he has been a great help.td this portjon of Oregon, and that his non-resumption of business would be almost a public calam ity, therefore it is, ln'eonnection with the confidence in his integrity, that our most careful business men offèr him all the aid he will accept to enable him to resume and carry on his business until the final, settlement is had with:his creditors by the Assignees—when as now, he will still be the mainstay of this portion of Eastern Oregon. The Mountain] Sentinel, in speaking of this iqatter, kayg: “ Wé are sorry to learn that the recent financial panic in San Francisco lias forced J? W W irtu e to a temporary suspension, mttho’ Mr. Virtue suffered no loss by the fàRure of any o f the San Francisco banks the-result has been to him much the same..’ Coming at a time when his means were largely locked up in real estate and ip-j.ni.ng enterprises, of which he has been the ruling spirit in Baker Co., he was un able to cash the numerous demands bro’ t against him and which would not have been called for had not the financial crash in San,Francisco awakened a feeling of distrust in financial matters all over the coast. He lias, with commendable integ rity, presented his creditors with a full statement o f assets and liabilities, the for mer exceeding to the amount o f $113,000, apd there is no doubt but all parties inter ested will receive the amounts due in a short time. ; fife certainly hope to see Mr. Virtue able ‘&‘.r£siinie active operations ag in in a few -Biker and Union counties can illj af ford to ¡be deprived of his energy and iudom- inabie nerseverence. Baker City people know bnn to be a tower of strength* and we have no doubt the business men of both eôunhos wüj borna to his support and voliiu tarjly render him ail the assistance in their nd,wer. Hi-s downfall would be a public ca- l f t i t y thgt every good citizen ought to en deavor to avert. % little leniency on the part o f creditors, and assistance from friends, may save heavy sacrifices o f property, and we trust that the emergency wifi be prompt ly met, with a désire on (the part o f the peo ple, to.render such aid as wilt again soon place him at his post of duty.” C.
