BIII.DISQ WHGRB
BANK'S ALL IS S200
But 9 Persons Become Depos
itors of Postal Branch.
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

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.

"I was authoritatively Informed that

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

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

yourself open to the charges. In the
