Portland Institutions Have Less
deposits Than 60 Days Ago Be
cause of Movement of Funds
to Interior to Handle Crops.
EALE1I, Or.. July 24. (Special.)
Resources of Oregon banks, comprising:
fi National and 177 state Institutions,
how an increase of $8,192,930.73 in the
past year, according to the combined
report of all these Institutions com
plied today by S. G. Sargent, State Su
perintendent of Banks.
Since the May statement National
banks of the state have Increased their
reserve balances with the Federal Re
serve Bank more than half a million
dollars and now have with that insti
tution more than $3,000,000 in stock
investment and reserve balances. Re
discounts with the Federal Reserve
Bank from Oregon, the statement
ehows, are less than $100,000, and other
rediscounts and borrowed money have
been materially reduced during the last
60 days.
Although the total resources of Ore
Ron banks show a big gain for the
year ended June 30. they have da
creased $3,626,865.44 since May 1 of
this year. The loss in resources is con
fined almost wholly to Portland banks,
which show a falling off of $3,385,865.13
In the last 60 days. The country banks
show practically no change In this item
since the May call.
Deposits Show Recent Loss.
Deposits of all banks in the state
have decreased $3,621,007.01 since May
1 last, but show an increase of 19,
24?.377.19 since June 23, 1915. This
item Superintendent Sargent said ac
counted for the loss in total resources,
the entire amount being sustained by
Portland banks.
"The loss in deposits," declared Su
perintendent Sargent, "is accounted for
by Portland bankers by the fact that
large sums have been diverted from
city banks to country banks for sea
sonal loans to finance the harvesting
of the grain and fruit crops. The state
ment this time would indicate that this
is true, as balances due other banks
have decreased more than $2,000,000.
Other reasons bankers give for the
shrinkage in deposits are that deposits
of current funds have been materially
reduced through current payments, and
Jarge deposits kept in Portland for
purchase and export of foodstuffs to
Kurope were expended since last May
and the funds transferred to other
cities until buying is resumed."
Postal Savings Increase.
Superintendent Sargent said another
reason assigned for the loss in deposits
is the withdrawal of savings deposits
for investment purposes on account of
the reduction in Interest rates effective
July l.
"The figures, however, do not con
firm this contention," continued Mr.
Sargent. "Savings deposits in Portland
alone have Increased $442,000 since May
1. The only change In the statement
that would indicate that the reduced
rate of interest is going to affect the
savings deposits in the Portland banks
is the fact that postal savings deposits
in Portland have gained $60,629.03 dur
ing the last 60 days, the largest in
crease in this period yet noted."
HOLDUP LAID TO SOLDIER

first drama starts within a few weeks,
Brenon using a star who has never
appeared on the screen, but whose
name is well known through the
United States.
MARGUERITE COURTOT, one of
the most popular of the younger
motion picture favorites, has
been engaged by the Famous Players
Film Company and will be starred by
that pioneer feature producing con
cern on the Paramount Programme.
Her first appearance under the new
auspices will be as co-star- with Owen
Moore in an adaptation of Ecfgar
Selwyn's great comedy-drama "Rolling
Stones."
Miss Courtot has been a motion pic
ture star for four years and in these
days of incessant changes has made an
enviable record for herself by remain
ing with the Kalem Company for three
of the four years. She later Joined the
Gaumont Company which she left to
join the Famous Players. The engage
ment of Miss Courtot, coupled with the
other engagements already chron
icled, is proof of the productive activi
ties of the newly formed Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation.
One of the unique features of Miss
Courtofs remarkable success upon the
screen lies in the fact that she has
never been on the stage in her life.
She was originally selected for motion
picture work because of her striking
beauty which manifested itself at
such an early age that when she was
but four years old she won the first
prize offered by the New York Jour
nal to settle the controversy as to
whether American or English children
were the more beautiful, thereby cov
ering her British adversaries with
confusion and envy.
Harrison Fisher, one of the roost fa
mous connoisseurs of feminine beauty
among our celebrated illustrators, se
lected Miss Courtot as the model for
his "Girlie" cover for the May num
ber of Cosmopolitan Magazine in 1901.
Miss Courtot does not aspire to play
heavy dramatic roles, preferring sim
ple stories of country life and light
comedy-dramas to other vehicles. She
does not object to playing the rustic
lad, if necessary, as she proved by
scoring a great success in "The Bare
foot Boy."
Thanhouser With Pathe.
"Keep your eyes on Pathe" seems to
be a mighty good screep slogan these
days, for not only is Patne setting
sizzling pace In the matter of film
serials, but it is entering into a nura
ber of alliances which promise to re
sult in a programme to compare In
Quality, and perhaps in quantity, with
anv on the market.
The world of ceiiuioia was surpnsea
the other day with the announcement
that Thanhouser, which has until re
cently been releasing through Mutual,
and which rumor connected with Para
mount, is now affiliated with Pathe.
Commencing in August Thanhouser
will release two five-reel features a
month through Pathe.
Until recently Thanhouser made 40
reels a month. This will be reduced
to ten reels, or, as Mr. Thanhouser
remarks. "We 11 give one-fourth as
many reels and four times the qual
Ity." Thanhouser has studios at New
Rochelle and Jacksonville.
Pathe now has alliances with Ar I
row. Astra. Balboa. Blache and Than
houser; contracts for picture rights to
the stage successes of Henry v . bav-
age and Al H. Woods: and rumor has
it that other well-known producing
companies are contemplating alliances
with the pioneer concern.
Mary Garden Spectacle.
Herbert Brenon. well-known pro
ducer, who has Just finished "The
Daughter of the Gods." the big An
nette Kellerman feature, for William
Fox. announces that he will enter the
field as an independent, staging a
number of spectacles, including one
presenting Mary Garden.
Brenon has produced such successes
as "Neptune's Daughter," the Annette
Kellerman feature; "The Soul of Broad
way," "The Kreutser Sonata," 'The
Clemeneeau Case," and "The Two Or
phans." "Neptune's Daughter." the
first seven-reel feature, beld the rec
ord for an American-made production
until "The Birth of a Nation" was pre
sented to the public
The new states right producer will
use women stars only. He promises to
make four or five features before next
March, when the Mary Garden spec
tacle will be commenced.
An odd feature of the Brenon re
leases is that no star will appear
either for him or any other producer
for within one year of the date of re
lease of her feature. Work on the
Hank Mann With Fox.
Hank Mann, who has been a con
sistent Keystone fun-maker, is the
leading comedian of the new Fox
studio in Southern California. Carmen
Phillips, late of Universal and Vita
graph, is leading woman, while other
members of the company will be Joe
Le, Charles Arling. Phyllis Allen and
Elsie Greeson. Charles Parrott is the
director.
The first comedy production Is un

Umatilla County Town Asks Whv
Taxpayers Should ProTlda for
w Institution When Ample
One Is Already Erected.
SALEM. Or., July 24. (Special)
That the ... proposed constitutional
amendment to establish a normal
school at Pendleton "constitutes a re
turn to logrolling methods" Is the
declaration of Weston residents who
today filed with Secretary of State OI
cott an argument against the Pendle
ton norma 1 measure. Residents of
Weston declare in their negative argu
ment mat - a $76,000 normal school
plant is already located at Weston,
which could be reopened If It should
be deemed necessary.
The negative argument is sisrned
by F. D. Watts, S. A. Barnes. E. O.
DeMoss. William MacKenzie and Clark
Wood, all of Weston.
After citing the fact that the Wes
ton Normal School plant consists of
four buildings, occupying 10 acres of
ground donated by the city to the
state, the sponsors of the negative ar
gument continue:
why should the voters of Oreiron
be asked to provide a $125,000 normal
school plant at Pendleton when a $75,
000 plant Is already available at Wes
ton, located 21 miles from Pendleton
in the same county? It is significant
that the Pendleton argument avoids all
reference to this state property.
Politics Is Blamed.
"The Weston Normal was maintained
until 1909, when, because of certain ad
verse political Influences and through
no rauit of its own, it failed of an
appropriation In the State Senate, al
though supported in the Lower House
by a vote of two to one. It was then
the largest of three normal Schools in
the state, having an attendance of 278
in the normal department and a strong
training school. Its work was accom
plished on the modest maintenance of
$12,500 a year. The Monmouth Normal
now receives $39,000 a year and. in ad
dition, was granted $50,000 for build
ings by the 28th Legislative Assembly.
With similar support the Weston Nor
mal would unquestionably have at
tained to at least equal rank and use
fulness. "The Pendleton bill constitutes a re
turn to "logrolling" methods. It clearly
indicates the fear of its sponsors to go
before the people on the merits of their
own demands. Pendleton has been
treated generously In being granted
the Eastern Oregon Hospital, which re
ceived a total appropriation of
$308,659.25 from the 28th Legislative
Assembly.
Weston Advantages Cited.
Normal schools are undoubtedly
needed in Southern Oregon and in East
ern Oregon. The school at Weston
should be supported. Weston is an at
tractive little city with adequate train
service, beautiful surroundings, agree
able climate, healthful conditions and
an ample gravity supply of pure moun
tain water. During the school's career
not one death ever occured among its
student body. Weston in fact is an ad
mirable location for a state normal
school. It is a "small town." yea; but
so is Monmouth and so are numerous
normal school towns In the East. Wes
ton has In the past supplied an entire
ly adequate number of pupils for an
efficient practice school and can do so
again.
"Why should the voters expend $125.-
000 for something they already pos
sess? Why should they tax themselves
l-25th of a mill when l-40th of a
mill all that was asked of them and
which they denied two years ago Is
sufficient? Logic and economy alike
suggest the defeat of the Pendleton
bill, with a view to tne ultimate re
opening of the Eastern Oregon Normal
at Weston."
