KLAMATH IS PROSPEROUS Free Money Market and Confidence In City Institution Are Given as Cannes of Lack of Support of Government Depository. KLAMATH FALI4 Or.. Jan. 13. (Spe cial.) Considerable disappointment Is being felt In thle city over the result of the opening here on January 12 of the first postal savings bank In Oregon. To date but nine names have been en rolled as depositors and the total deposits do npt exceed COO. The largest deposit made was fl and the next largest Jfiu. Most of the others axe for 31 each, while out a few are for and 110 each. It waa expected that the opening of a Government depository here would be nailed with delight and that the local banking Institutions would feel the ef fects of the new competitor. The con trary has been the result. Local bankers state they have not lost a dollar. Much of the hoarded money and small savings of the people of the country would. It -as thought, be brought out by the postal system, it was supposed - to replace the stocking" as a safety de posit for savings. It would appear that in every other place except Klamath Falls this has been the case. Cities where these bunko have been opened by the Government report that the savings banks have been hit hard by the in novation. Klanialh Folk Prosperous. As a reason for the small Interest mani fested In the postal bank here and the light and scattering deposit It Is cited by those In touch with the financial pulse of Klamath Kails that the town and country In general have been particular ly free from the effects of any atringency In the money market. There are four banks In this city that have been doing business here for several years. These are the First National. Klamath county. First Trust and Savings and American Bank and Trust Company banks. Each of these Is heavily capi talised. Although there have been flur ries In the money markets of the world which have caused bank In other places to close nothing of the kind has ever oc curred here. Two yeara ago when bank Ing holidays were declared over all the country as a measure to block runs there w as no closeness of money here and not a bank In the city took advantage of the declared holidays. Aa a result of these conditions the Cltl sens of the country have come to have strong faith In the banking Institutions here. They have never felt any symptoms of a panic, such as has ravagea me breasts of the people of other parts of the world. Thla. said a Klamath Falls banker. -Is. In mv oDtnlon. the reason why the people here have rot rushed with their hoards to the pontal savings bank. They have aa much faith In the banking In stitutions of Klamath Falls as they have In the one started by the Federal Gov ernment. None of the banks here will feel the effect of the postal savings bank on their business. There will be no falling off of business. I believe. In anv of the private banks and I am con fident that our business will continue to Increase and show Just as big a gain at the end of the year lll. or bigger, for that matter, than ever before. Trus IToposcd In Banks. Our local banket all have ample finan cial backing to make them perfectly safe and while I do not care to compare them with the backing the Government haa for Its nostsl bank the people In general here have reason to feel that their money Is safe, with un snd have no tendency to withdraw any funds from us and put it In the postal bank. Tntll Klamath County has reason to feel a money stringency none of the local banks will, in my opinion, be affected by Klamath Falls having been seieciea as the only city In Oregon for the estaoimn Inir of the postal savings. Postmsster R. A. Entmltt. who re turned on January 9 from Washington, n " where he had gone to confer with Postmaster-General Hitchcock regarding the methods ,to be usea in nanoung me deposits said that he bad e.een somewhat puzaled aa to why Klamath Falls had been selected In preference to the various other offices of the atate. He put the qirery to the postal men In Washington and was told that In select ing the banks for theae savings deposl tsries care was used In trying" to put them where the record of the Postmaster and office showed the greatest ability from a clerical standpoint and made out the best reports to the Government. Klaniaiii Falls Complimented. Another compliment wan paid Klamath Falto by the postal authorities In se lecting a Klamath Falls bank aa the de positary for the savings which are put n the postal bank here. Application had been made by one or more of the Portland banking Institutions for this money but Postmaster-General Hitchcock turned them all down and selected the First Na tional Bank of this city as the place where the funds from the local savings Institution established by I'ncle Sara were to be kept after they had grown to any appreciable extent Postmaster Emmltt was told by the I Vff- 3 fcijrr.- IXSTITt'TIOJT IS LOCATED, that the demand for free mail delivery In Klamath Falls bad been favorably con sidered by the Government and that all that was nereanry now before the city could get this was for It to meet the re quirements of the Government In pre paring for free delivery and then make Its application.

Itcsolution Favoring Reapportion ment Will Be Put Through Tomorrow Afternoon. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 13. (Special.) Stevens County men are gathering In Olympla in force as the division of that county Is noon to come up if the two factions can agree upon a bjll. should settlement be reached the portion Stevens County between the range and the Idaho line will be known as Pend d'Orellle County. The new county will have a population of almost 7000 and will oe in ine same class as f erry. Asotin and Garfield. The bill likely will be in troduced tomorrow as both factions have representatives here. Okanogan County wants to be divided three ways, the Methow Valley to be cut off and then the remainder of the county split into a north and south half. This would give county seats to Twisp and Oroville as well aei leaving the one at Conconully where It is now situated. The factions are to arrive here next week, but so far any time one section wants anything the other two combine and as a result no agreement has been reached. . Tomorrow after adjournment the Spo kane Senate and House members will caucus and put through a resolution favoring a reapportionment that will in crease the Legislature to the constitu tional limit, giving two of the three new Representatives to King and one to Spo kane. King is to get two new Senators, Yakima one and Spokane one, the three others to be divided on the basis of popu lation. Spokane hopes to get into an agree ment with the new counties, hold the bal ance of power and switch to King and Pierce If they hold out better induce ments on reapportionment, but the Spo kane caucus will go on record tomorrow favoring to reduce the representation of any county aa tt now stands. King County will try to force reappor tionment and then delay initiative and referendum, so that if the Legislature does pur through a reapportionment bill that is satisfactory, direct legislation will be put through, and King, with Its votes, can control the making of the laws. Pierce Is being overlooked by all of th romhine. but there Is a ronort cur- I rent that Pierce, the southwest and the northwest, will get together before the week is out, and trouble Is expected as soon as the Legislators return for work tomorrow.

Representative Butler Ames Issued a reply tonight to ex-President Roosevelt, who last night charged Mr. Ames with "deliberate falsehood" In connection with state ments regarding the alleged connection of Senator Lodge with an effort to sell some colliers to the Navy Department. In bis reply. Representative Ames says In part: "I do not question your denial of the conversation between yourself and Sen ator Lodge and the Secretary of the Navy. In fact, I expected you to do so, And a Cabinet officer cannot be ex pected to verify the accuracy or Inac curacy of a conversation with his chief. "I was authoritatively Informed that you did use the words I have credited you with, but whether you did or not. Is of minor Importance, and this partic ular part of the controversy may be safely left to some future time. "Has tt occurred to you that the de ntal of those charges or an explanation thereof should have been made by Sen ator Lodge himself, and on the floor of the Senate for the fair name of Massa chusetts. If not for his own? Has it occurred to you that the time and place for you to have come to Sen ator Lodge's rescue was even before you came to speak in his behalf at the arena in Boston, just before election? "Has it occurred to you. or to Senator Lodge, that thus to rush to his defense In the press on the day before the caucus In the Legislature on the Sen atorlal election in this state, was to lay yourself open to the charges. In the minds of some uncharitable people, at least, of trying to suppress full Infor mation in the matter and your choice of time makes the delicate compliments you pay me In your telegram to Speak er Walker take on a political rather than a personal complexion?" 2 FALL 3 STORIES; DIE Wrestlers Pitch Out of Window and Friends Find Bodies, Arms Locked.
