Ample Reserve Is Held.
LOANS ATTEST LIBERALITY
Table Compiled by State Superin
tendent Compares Figures With
Previous Statements Proving
Accommodation Is Given.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) With
the average reserve largely in excess
of requirements and a substantial in
crease of deposits subject to check the
banks of the state were in a. satisfac
tory condition at the time of the last
call, September 12, according to a state
ment made Friday by State Superin
tendent of Banks Sargent. Total de
posits have materially decreased since
June 30 because of withdrawals from
savings departments, while loans and
Investments have increased $3,707,500.
Mr. Sargent's statement says, in part:
"On account of the recent 'consolida
tion of the Security Savings & Trust
Company, of Portland, with the First
National Bank, the combined statements
of the National banks show a consid
erable increase in nearly all items,
while the combined statements of the
state banks show a corresponding de
crease. For this reason a fair com
parison cannot be made of the two
statements separately.
"In view of Secretary McAdoo's re
cent statement to the effect that many
banks throughout the country have
been building up excessive reserves by
refusing legitimate credits and charg
ing exorbitant rates of interest, the
changes made in the combined state
ment since June 30 are -of special in
terest. Deposits Decrease f 1.200,000.
"It will be noted that the loans,
bonds and other securities have been
increased $3,707,600, while the total de
posits have fallen off about $1,200,000.
"A most peculiar condition shown by
the statement is the fact that the indi
vidual deposits subject to check have
increased, while the savings deposits
decreased. No other statement issued
by this department has ever reveaW
this condition, the savings deposits gen.
erally showing a steady gain, and
never decreasing without a correspond
ing decrease in all other deposits. This
is no doubt due to withdrawals made
by foreigners leaving for Europe to
join the armies at war.
"Notwithstanding the fact that the
cash on hand and due from banks has
decreased $3,800,000, the average re
serve is still considerably In excess of
requirements. The state banks alone,
according to statements filed, could re
lease $3,500,000 and still maintain the
legal- reserves required by law. While
-thi3 would seem to bear out Secretary
; McAdoo's charge that there Is a tend-
ency on the part of the banks to hoard
their funds, generally speaking, I do
not think that such is the case in this
state.
Shoirtna Considered Satisfactory.
"No doubt a few of our banks are
subject to criticism in this respect, but
a large reserve does not necessarily
mean an excessive reserve, and one
cannot judge from a statement as to
whether or not a bunk is justified in
carrying a large reserve, or as to
. whether or net it is meeting the le
gitimate demands of Its community.
Conditions peculiar to the different lo
calities must be considered as well as
the conditions and circumstances con
nected, with the business of each indi
vidual bank.
"Considering conditions in general,
the Oregon banks make a most satis
factory showing at this time and are
in an excellent position to meet all le
gitimate demands."
The following statement of all bank
ing Institutions in the state, including
171 state banks, five trust companies
and 86 National banks, at close of busl.
ness September 12, 1914, compared with
the last statement of June 30 and the
corresponding statement of last year,
August 9, 1913, has been compiled by
the state banking department:

Cider Mill Draws Patrons
From Far and Near.
Farmer Korth of Albany. Who
Charges Nominally for Patting;
Apples Tbrougb Traction-Engine
Press, Is Kept Busy.
ALBANY, Or., act. 3. (Special.)
Reminding one strongly of the
early days, when the grist mills
throughout the country operated only
on stated occasions, when persons from
all parts of the countryside flocked to
the mill to have their grain ground, is
the cider mill operated by C. R. Wid
mer, a farmer who resides two miles
north of Albany. ..
Tuesday of every week during the
apple season is "grinding day." Every
Tuesday one may see a long line of
automobiles and vehicles of every kind
heading toward, the mill, loaded with
big red apples. Patrons of the cider
mill furnish their own apples, kegs
and barrels for the cider. Farmer Wid
mer and his son, Chris, do the rest,
making a small charge for manufac
turing the beverage.
After the apples have been dumped
into the hopper and ground up the
pulpy-looking substance is placed on
trays covered with burlap. Five or six
of these trays are placed one above
the other. The entire lot is then placed
beneath a huge press operated by
power furnished by a traction engine.
From 40 to 60 tons' pressure is used in
pressing the juice from the crushed
apples. Pure cider runs into large
tubs, from which It Is poured into kegs

GERMANS RUN TO COVER
Details Told of Pursuit in Which
Cruiser Is Damaged.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 3. The Blue
Funnel liner Talthybius, in. port from
the Orient, brings details of the dis
abling of the German auxiliary cruiser
Princess Alice by the British auxiliary
cruiser Empress of Russia, formerly a
Canadian Pacific liner, off the Philip
pines early in September, as already
briefly cabled. The German vessel was
bound for Tsing-Tau and was reputed
to be carrying $10,000,000 for the Ger
man officials there. She was sighted by
the Empress and fled at once, pursued
by the Britisher. The Empress carries
four six-inch guns and six 4.7-inch
guns. The Alice had eight six-inch
Runs. Tile Empress overhauled the
German boat and a running fight fol
lowed. The German boat lost the top of her
smokestack and had her main mast cut
off clean. The stern was torn away and
several holes made in the hulL The
Empress was unmarked. The German
ehip, to avoid capture or foundering,
headed for the island of Cebu and ran
on the beach.
The British vessel did not follow
inside the three-mile limit. The loss
of life was not learned.

the making.
Nothing is wasted in making- cider
at the Widmer mill.- The dry substance
is conveyed to a nioving belt, which
dumps It on the ground outside for the
stock, horses and hogs displaying re
markable fondness for it. It also Is
used as a fertilizer.
The Widmers made 13,000 gallons of
sweet cider at their mill last season.
The record run for a single day last
season was 3450 gallons. On that day
the first customer with his apples ar
rived shortly before 5 o'clock in the
morning and the last one departed for
home at 8 o'clock that evening. A per
son bringing nine gunny sacks of ap
ples to the mill usually goes home with
a 50-gallon barrel of cider. The Wid
mers also make apple butter and cider
vinegar.
The Widmer home contains 14 rooms
and is lighted by gas generated on the
farm. Hot and cold water are piped
throughout the house. '

the -girl; baby first prize, scoring a
fraction of a point less than the Grant
child.
There was no perfect child as last
year, when Jane Kanzler, of Portland
was so credited, but the judging this
year was far more accurate and the
scoring closer. More than 175 babies
were, entered .as against 80 last year,
