MERGER I TO
OPEN NEXT WEEK
Receiver Devlin, of the Oregon
Trust, Petitions-Court for
Order Approving Plan.
HEARING NEXT SATURDAY
IT Action Is Favorable, Bank Will
Open Tuesday as the German
American Detail Set Forth
In Petition to Court.
fnTcFS piann of frte rnrgmn!zers fall,
die Oregon Trust & Savings Bank will
open for business not later than next
Tuesday. This Is conditional upon Jutige
Gantenbein handing down an order per
mitting the merger with the German
American Bank, and as he has set Satur
day afternoon as the time for a hearing
on the merger petition, an order is ex
pected on Monday. In that event. Presi
dent Reed expects to open the bank doors,
which have been closed since August 20,
and resume business Tuesday morning.
It will be an entirely new bank that
will open in the old banking rooms. The
name under which the concern will do
business will be that of the German
American Bank, and it will hive a cap
italization of $500,000. Samuel G. Reed
. will be president, and he "will be assisted
in tUe management of the institution by
a board of directors chosen from the most
prominent business men of Portland. The
men who mismanaged the affairs of the
original Oregon Trust and forced it to
close its doors will have no part nor lot
in the new bank.
The snake sign that formerly Invited
Ravings deposits, promising 4 per cent,
has been taken down and will not appear
again. The German-American will, it is
promised, be run in a conservative and
careful way, having for its officers pru
dent business men. It Is fully expected
that a larg3 share of the phenomenal
business enjoyed by the old bank will be
retained by the new institution, for there
Ls said to be every reason why the new
institution should enjoy the full con
fidence of the people.
Receiver Devlin to Kemain.
Receiver Devlin will remain in the bank
in that position as the special watch
dog of the interests of depositors in the
bank. Ho will stand between the former
creditors of the institution and 'any at
tempt on the part of anyone who might
have designs upon the assets of the bank,
for it ls explicitly agreed that every dol
lar of tho assets of the Oregon Trust
shall - be used in meeting the claims of
creditors of that institution.
Business men are subscribing to stock
to be issued by the new German-American
Bank, and they are paying 125 for
each of the 4000 shares, making a total
capital of $500,000. They mean to safe
guard this capital in every way, and are
confident that the institution will earn
good profit on the investment.
Receiver Devlin presented the petition
to the court yesterday afternoon, asking
for authority to deliver the assets of the
Oregon Trust to the German-American
Bank, with tho explicit agreement that
the latter institution ls to assume all the
liabilities of the Oregon Trust and pay
depositors, without interest, within two
years. To such as have subscribed for
telephone bonds, time certificates and
bank stock, deliveries of the same shall
be made not later than June.
Assets of the Oregon Trust are to be
taken over by the German-American
Bank at the valuation fixed by the ex
pert. C. B. Pfahlor, who gave his figures
in the report attached to the petition.
The presentation of the petition to the
court was delayed somewhat because of
the argument between the German
American Bank, represented by I-ouis J.
Wilde, and Joseph Simon, attorney for
Receiver Devlin, over the clause refer
ring to the taking over of assets of the
Oregon Trust by the German-American
and the placing of securities of equal
value in the hands of Receiver Devlin.
The point was raised as to who should
puss on the value of the securities sub
stituted, and Mr. Wilde contended that
this was the duty of the directors of the
new bank, while Attorney Simon argued
that the receiver and the directors should
sgree upon the value of substituted se
curities before any passed. It was de
cided that when any question arose the
court should have the final word any
way, and Mr. "Wilde's party won Its con
tention. 1050 Shares Yet to Be Taken.
With the capital stock of the new bank
At 4000 shares, each being paid for at a
premium of 2j. depositors In' the Oregon
Trust who agreed to accept hank stock
In lieu of all or a part of their de
posits will hold 7S0 shares, the German
- American Bank has raid up $117,000
worth, or 1170 shares, and Ixmls J. Wilde
agrees to take 1KX) shares In exchange
for certificates of deposit he holds on
tho closed bank as payment for telephone
bonds he sold to tho institution before it
failed. Tills leaves 1050 shares to be
taken by the new men who will partici
pate as directors.
Judge Gantenbein set tomorrow after
noon, at 2 oVIock. as the time for the
Virai'ing upon the petition, when any one
who has objections to the merger plan
may attend and urge them. All those
interested in the bank who have ex
pressed themselves so far are pleased
with the arrangement. Receiver Devlin
and others active in the reorganization
plan expressed themselves last night as
highly satisfied with the progress made. .
The petition presented to the court yes
terday by Receiver Devlin follows:

KEATS DENIES HIS GUILT
Does Not Own Auto Police Found
Breaking: Speed Limit.
H. I Keats has gotten into trouble
through an auto which he does not even
own and in which he has not driven for
months. Tet the evidence against him
Is such that he must submit to trial on a
charge of exceeding the speed limit. He
was arrested yesterday and required to
furnish bail. Keats once owned the auto
in question, but sold it. The owner left
it at the Keats garage for safe-keeping.
Since then Keats says it has been under
lock and has never left the place.
Nevertheless the auto was out Wednes
day and was making things hum. The
police caught the fleeting number as it
ewirled through town in a cloud of dust.
When that number -was compared with
the corresponding number on the city
records it was found the machine was ac
credited to Keats and the warrant for his
arrest was made out. He -will have to
meet the charge regardless of the fact
that, according to the etory he told the
police yesterday, ho la a victim of cir
cumstances. ' SEND SCENIC, PHOTOS EAST.

ATTEND to THE CHILDREN'S EYES
Questions Answered by Our Optometrist.
Q. Why do some children with good sight require
glasses ?
A. Mainly to rest
the eyes. The eye does
not attain its growth
till about the age of 12.
"The growing eye is
taxed beyond its
strength. The proper
glasses rest and pre
serve the eyes. ' -
Q. Why do children have headaches?
A. An eye headache is a reflex pain, caused by
straining the eyes. The pain may be over the eyes or
through the temples. The cure is to wear relief
glasses, which are worn while studying.
