k THE DAlJ-V COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHF1ELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1908. K POSTAL Hit; HI PROSPECT Senate Committee Will Report Bill For Enactment in a Short Time. MAY PASS AT THIS SESSION Kvcry Money Order I'ostolllcc to Have Savings Hank Paying Two l'cr Cent Interest. WASHINGTON, March 20. After several weeks' consideration, a postal savings bank bill lias been drafted for presentation by the senate com mittee on postofTlcos and posf-oads next week. Tho subcommittee up pointed to decide upon the measur3 has held Us final meetings, Postmas ter General Meyer participating in an advisory capacity. The measure de elded upon is a composite of tho b'lls introduced by Senator Carter of Mon tana, chairman of the sub-commit toe, by Senator Burkett of Nebraska and Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. The Knox bill was introduced by request, and was known as tho Meyer meas ure, having been drawn under the di rection of the postmaster general. Opinion is overwhelming that the senate will pass the postal savings bank bill, and in plenty of time to give the house time to act before ad journment of tho present session, If the leaders are willing to take it up. At any rate, the senate will do Its part, and the popular branch of con gress will bo responsible for non action. Hanks at Money Order Ofllccs. Under the provisions of tho bill agreed upon, a system of 'postal sav ings banks is established by law, as proposed in the original Carter meas ure, Instead of merely authorizing tho postmaster general to establish the system. The system, however, is to be under the direction of the post master general. Every money order office of the presidential class is to be a postal bank from the start, and the postmaster general is authorized to extend the system to other money or der offices as fast as practicable. It Is provided that accounts may be opened 'and deposits 'made by any person ten years of age and upward. No person may have more than one account. Corporations are barred from opening accounts, tho design being to encourage individual savings and nothing more. Limit Deposits and Interest. Initial deposit of an account must be to tho amount of $1, but addl -"! tional deposits of ten cents or multl pies thereof are to bo allowed. In terest rato of two per cent per an num on deposits is allowed. No in terest Is to be allowed on deposits In excess of $500 mado in any one year, and at no time is Interest to be paid on a deposit of more than $1,000. The depositor after the first year may draw interest, in other words, on a total of $1,000, but for no greater amount, regardless of tho time in which tho deposits accumulate. Two hundred dollars is fixed as tho maxi mum amount of money a person may deposit in any one month. It is pro vided that withdrawals shall bo made in even dollars, except In settling up accpunts. National banks are prohibited from cpllecting exchange on any sav ings bank remittances. There is a section which also provides that all postal savings are to be regorded as public moneys, subject to the safe guards and preferences provided by statute therefor. They are to be ex empt from seizure or attachment, and from taxation. The amount of a deposit cannot be disclosed by any official except by order of the post master general. .NAVIGATORS AT BANDON. Xeys of Shipping There as Told By The Recorder. Tho new tug which is to be built for replacing the Triumph in service on the lower Coqulllo and bar will bo built at either the Price or Heuck endorff shipyards. Local business men aro subscribing liberally for stock in tho boat, but whatever is not locally taken will bo subscribed for by tho Doe Estate, owners of tho Triumph. So it is apparent that a new and up-to-dato tug boat suited to tnis bar Is assured. The Ooa es tate, of which J. L. Kronenberg is manager,- will sell tho Triumph to San Francisco parties, it is said.

NEWS OF COQUILLE. Interesting Items Culled Prom the Valley Sentinel. The county commissioners recent ly adjourned until April 7th, when they will take up road matters which they wish to close as soon as possible. Deputy Sheriff Gago and his force of clerks aro busy collecting taxes, which aro coming In at a rapid rate. Part of- the force aro working until ten o'clock every night in clearing up the day's work. Under tho pres ent system a receipt has to bo made out for every piece of property that a person pays taxes on, some receiv ing as high as thirty receipts, and the making of these takes considerable time. Tho Sentinel was informed last week that Fish Warden Van Dusen was in Coos county for the purpose of installing a hatchery on the Coqulllo river. Rev. W. S. Gordon sprained his ankle while at Bandon Monday, and is at present hobbling along on crutches. C. M. Cavlll, a stranger, while helping to paint tho O.

Editor of Sentinel Tells of Navign tors Doings In Thut Vicinity. Captain E. D. Stellar, of Bandon, and Captain O. R. Willard, returned Tuesday from Marshfleld, where they had been Inspecting the boat which Max Tlmmerman Is building for them.

They have received a flatter ing offer to operate it on the bay. E. A. McDufHo and Claude and Paul Ford have commenced painting the steamer Dispatch, which is now moored just below the city wharf. This is quite a task, and will require about two weeks' time to complete. Captain O. R.Willard informed us that tho gasoline schooner Enterprise owned by John R. Miller, made tho trip from Coqulllo bar to the Coos Bay bar in two hours last Sunday, running at moderate Bpeed. They left Wednesday for Port Orford with a cargo of freight, and will return at once for another cargo. Mr. Mil ler expects to put the boat on be tween Coos Bay and the Coqulllo river, carrying freight for river points, and making occasional trips to Port Orford. Captain O. P.

A lady one day in July visited her phyBician. "Madam," said the physician, "you are only a little run down. You need frequent baths and plenty of fresh air, nnd I advise you to dress in tho cool est, most comfortable clothes nothing stiff or formal." When she got home her husband asked what the physician had said. "lie said I must go to the seashore, do plenty of automoblllngand get some new summer gowns." THE PENALTY. Pleasure has bounds. Too greedily pur sued Enjojment ceases and disgust ensues. Thus, at first glance, some recent paint ing viewed. The verdant landscape smiles in all its brightest hues, But stand and gaze awhile, and by de grees ' Tho eyo grows tired, tho colors cease to please; Its beauties vanish, and its faults arise; You think of other times and criticise. Secundus. Where She Was Needed. At a Sunday school convention at Louisville, Ky., in answer to the roll call of states reports were verbally given by the various state chairmen When the Lone Star State was called o brawny specimen of southern manhood stepped out into tho aisle aud with strident voice exclaimed: "We repre sent the great state of Texas. Thr first white woman born In Texas Is still living. She now has a populatlou of over 3,000,000." There was a pause for a moment and then a voice from the gallery rang out clear and distinct: "Send that woman to Wyoming. We need her." Everybody's. He Should Learn to Sew. "My husband annoys me very much," said the clubwoman. "He is so slip shod. His buttons are forever coming off." "Perhaps," said an old fashioned wo man gently, "they are not sewed on properly in the firbt place." "That's just it. My husband is one of the most careless sewers I ever saw." The Burglar's Meal. Charles Lamb was awakened early one morning by a noise in his kitchen and on going downstairs found a bur glar doing his spoons up in a bundle. "Why d-do you s-s-st-t-tcal?" he asked. "Because I'm starving," returned the housebreaker sullenly. "Pup-pup-poor fuf-fuf-fellow!" said tho essayist "H-here's a 1-1-leg ol L-L-Lamb for you." And, with a dexterous movement ol his right leg, he ejected the maraude: into the street and, locking the doot securely, went back to bod. Riding a Chautauqua. Tho citizens of a thriving town ol about 0,000 people arranged for a Chau tauqua assembly. They held tho meet ings in a big tent about a mile from the town, and tho attendance was large from the flrst day. An enterpris ing circus man landed lntho town oh the second day of the Chautauqua with a steam merry-go-round, which ho lo cated about halfway between the towu and the Chautauqua grounds. Along in the afternoon a young man from the country districts was accosted by a citizen of tho town. "Well, Ezry, I suppose you are in to tho Chautauqua?" "I shore am. Jlst come from that now." "How'd you like it?" "Fine es a fiddle! I rode on the durn thing uino times!" Llpplncott's. The Thoughtful Employer. "Are you aware, sir," said the faith ful bookkeeper, "that today is tho for tieth anniversary of my service with you?" Tho employer took a square box neat ly wrapped In white paper from his desk. "I know It, Mr. Quille," he said, "and I have prepared a little surprise for you. Pray accept this alarm clock, with my best wishes for your contlm ued punctuality." He Couldn't Oblige. Curate's Wife (given to nerves) Hoppltt, would you mind seeing mo aa far as my house? The lane is so dark. Cherry Clodhopper Well, I'd rather not, mum. I promised my young wo man I'd chuck that all up. Ladles' Home Journal. Took No Chances. A Scotch farmer went to town to have a tooth extracted. "I would advise you to have it out by the painless system. It is only a shilling extra," said the dentist. He showed the npparatus for admin istering gas, remarking that it would cause him to fall asleep, and before he awoko tho tooth would, be out. After reluctantly consenting, the cos. tomer proceeded to open his purse. "Oh, never mind paying now!" "Hoots! I wasna thlnkln' o' thot, but If I'm gacn tao sleep I thocbt I wa like to coont ma siller first." Toasting a Deaf Miter.
