POSTAL BANK TO

MORE THAN 110,000, IT IS BELIEV
ED, WILL BE DEPOSITED
FIRST MONTH.
MONEY HERETOFORE EARNED NOTHING
Many Have Paid Government For

Money Orders First Na
tlonal New Depository.
It Is believed that the deposlta at
the Oregon City Postal Savinga bank,
which will open on June 26, . will
amount to at least $10,000 and prob
ably $15,000 the first month. Persona
making inquiry as to when the bank
will be opened and the rulea govern
Jng depositors have been numerous,
and It la assured that the department
will do a large business. A large ,
utuiiuer oi persons in mis city ana
Clackamas county have made use of
the money-order department of the
postofflce as a depository for several
yeara. They buy money orders which
cost thirty cents for a $100 year,
and keep the ordera the same as oher
persons keep deposit alips or "bank
books. Only a ahort time ago one
man Invested $500 In money orders
Instead of depositing the money in a
bank.
The first National Bank here will be
the depository for the postal aavlnga
department. Depositors will be paid
Interest at the rate of two and one
quarter per cent, and the bank will
be charged two and one-half per cent
for tne use of the money. It la gen
erally agreed here that few, If any
deposits, will be withdrawn from the
other banka to be placed tn the postal
savings bank. The deposits for the
most part. It la thought, will be made
by persons who have never before
patronized banka, and have kept their
savings at home. As a result this
much more money will be put Into
circulation. - i
Postmaster Randall went to Port
land Wednesday to attend the con
vention of postmasters. After the
convention he will familiarise himself
with the duties of the postal aavlnga
bank. He has been notified by the
postofflce department to sro to Olym
