RESORT TO CERTIFICATES
Clearing Houses Aro Issuing Redcem-
nblo Certificates to Suvo SltiiiUlon
Quieter Yesterday.
New York, Oct. 2G. C:ulct
conditions reigned througliout
the two hours session of the
stock exchange today. Owing
to a rule whereby loans made on
Friday were to carry over until
Monday of the following week,
the Immediate borrowing of
money was not a necessity and
the direct lnfuence of the mon-
4 ey condition was to that extent
in abeyance. Expressions of in-
creased confidence throughout
are unmistakable. Occasional
reactions of some Individual
4 stocks, especially the Inactive
list, were severely depressed.
The closing tone wa3 irregular-
t ly Etrong.
Chicago Will Issue. Certificates.
Chicago, Out. 2G. The Chicago
clearing house association tonight an
nounced it has decided to issue
clearing house certificates. Although
it w.i3 retolved that savings banks
should require from the depositors
the notices of withdrawal provided
for in connection with such accounts.
Certificates Go In New York.
New York, Oct. 2G. The clearing
house association today decided to
issue clearing house certificates.
Morgan Is Interviewed.
New York, Oct. 2G. In response
to a request of the Associated Press
as to his view of the present situa
tion, J. P. Morgan said today: "As I
have already said, I cannot too
stronglj emphislzo the importance of
people realizing that tho greatest in
jury that can be done in the present
situation is the thoughtless with
drawal of funds from the banks and
trust companies and their hoarding
it in safe deposit vaults or elsewhere,
thus withdrawing the supply of cash
always needed In such emergencies
as that which has been confronted
during tho past week.
Now York, Oct. 25, Anothr
nerve wracking day has passed but
tho financial Institutions of New
York have shown extraordinary
power of resistance to pressure put
upon them. While it is true several
minor institutions havo been forced
to close their doors, yet two things
should be said about them. First,
the amount Involved is not so great
as to exert any marked influence on
the general situation, as these banks
were located In the residential quar
ters and did not come In touch with
the larger financial institutions of
tho metropolis, and second, there is
every reason to believe that these
banks and trust companies are en
tirely solvent and their difficulties
will prove only temporary and duo
entirely to Inability to secure ready
cash on guilt-edged securities. In
light of the commercial excitement,
savings banks thought it wise to
put Into effect a ruling requiring
thirty to sixty days notice for with
drawal of deposits. This will pre
vent withdrawal of money which
would otherwise be put Into safe de
posit boxes. There was not tho
slightest hint that any of the saving
banks were in anything but the
soundest condition and it wa3 point
ed out that the savings banks of this
state are so restricted by law In in
vesting their monoy that there can
oe no question at all that the secur
ities In their possession are of good
value and readily saleable In norm
al times. Tho institutions which
closed their doors are the United
States Exchange Bank, of Harlem,
$600,000, the International Trust
company, about 100,000, Borough
Bank of Brooklyn, ?4.000,000,
Brooklyn Bank, v $1,300,000, Wil
liamsburg Trust company Brook
lyn, 7, 500, 000, First National Bank
of Brooklyn $3,600,000.
First National Bank of Brooklyn,
Williamsburg Trust ami Interna
tional Trust are allied Institutions.
None of these companies had any
important connectlor.3 with tho larg
er banks which are representatives
of the city commercial affairs. On
tho other hand, ar number of favor
able features marked tho day. The
trust company of America and Lin
coln trust, organizations which suf
fered most from runs, have been
slowly paying out to their depositors
ond closed the day with all demands
having been met. In the case of
tho Trust Company of America the
run was well nigh spent, as the
great bulk of depositors have been
paid off. At the close of business,
there were a good many in lino at
tho Lincoln Trust company, but also
a marked reduction in tho number
of anxious depositors. The mo3t
favorable Incident of tho day was
that tho stock exchange was pro
vided with funds amplo to meet all
demands by the Morgan pool which
sent $5,000,000 to the exchange
during the afternoon, 'iho market
was relatively ilrm all day and when
the pool money was offered there
was an Immediate upturn of prices
and the market closed at the best
prices of the day. A very encourag
ing feature of the afternoon was a
signed statement of State Sup. of
Banking Williams, affirming tho sol
vency of local Institutions. There
wa3 tho usual crop of alarmist ru
mors but they all proved to be false.
Further encouraging develop
ments, the good of which can hard
ly be estimated, was a decision to
issue clearing house certificates,
probably tomorrow. The Immediate
effect of this will be to enable banks
to settle balance between themselves i
v. 1th these certificates and thereby
thereby
zelcase large sums of currency for
the regular needs of business. It is
believed that the mere fact that
they are to be issued will so far re
store confidence that runs on tho
banks will ceato, so that It will not
bo necessary to keep certificates
outstanding for any conslderablp
length of time. Already strong city
banks are receiving large deposits
from persons who have withdrawn
tholPmdney from banks and trust
companies which havo fallen under
ruspiclon.
A. G. I (AM TAKEN
FOR ROBBING TRUNK
Constable J. W Carter took Into
custody, In Marshfield, A G. Ham,
who was wanted at Coquillo by thp
authorities for a burglary committed
same time ago in that city. The sus
prct was charged with having taken
personal goods from tho trunk of a
boarder, and some of the property
was found at Ham's homo or board
ing place. The other Items which
were missing could not be found, but
ifc is supposed they were disposed of
by Ham. Officer Carter and E. L. C.
Farrin went to Coquille yesterday
morning and appeared for tho prose
cution and tho result was that Ham
was bound over to the circuit court,
tho next session of which convenes
in December. Tho evidence was of
such nature that Albert Dully was
arrested afterwards as an accomplice
of Ham, and was taken before the
court and ordered to appear for pre
liminary hearing tomorrow.

Mississippi river. If you don't want
to be made a Red Man it is time now
to take to tho tall timber and hunt
a good hiding place, for there is a
gang of scouts hitting every trail in
this neck of the woods hunting
for scalps. There certainly will be
"big doiu's" on the Bay in any- event,
as the tribes from North Bend, Myr-

join with Koos Tribe In making It a
rouser.
Every band to be had will
be In the parade.
Great Senior Sacamore has the
reputation of being the greatest
rustler ever, and if you ever get away
from the following bunch of scouts
you will be called an tndian over
after, so you might as well hand In
your name and save a long chase.
They are called tho P. & P. Com

THINKS COOS BAY
A COMING COUNTRY
II. It. Montgomery, Who Owns Con
siderable Property Here, Gives
Times an Interview.
Mr. R. R. Montgomery, of De
catur, Illinois, who had been here for
several weeks looking after his hold
ings In Marshfield and tho surround
ing country, left yesterday on the
Breakwater. Before he left ho was
asked to express his opinion of the
country, and the reporter obtained
the following:
"You ask what do you think of the
Coos Bay country? It seems to me
the Creator had experimented in
making tho different countries of the
world; first preparing the East for
man. The extreme cold and tho ex
treme heat of that section was trying
on humanity; then ho opened up
California, with warm climate and
continuous sunshine, which was
found to be an improvement, but
very inconvenient or. account of lack
of water; then he said 'I will make
another country without the extreme
heat or the extreme cold and also
with abundant sunshlno and rain,'
and when finished He pronounced it
good, and said 'like the good wine it
shall be reserved until the last.'
This country is known as the Coos
Bay country.
"I was In Marshfield two years
ago and stayed one week and 1 iiKca
the country then. 1 have been here
now three weeks and havo traveled
over the country fiom Ten Mile to
Bandon-by-the-Sea, over the bay and
up the rivers and inlets, and I can
say the more I see of the country the
better I like it. Certainly tho Coos
Bay country is a great country; the
productiveness of the soil Is almost
beyond the comprehension ot her
best posted citizens, and tho eastern
man will liston to your stoVy, smile
and wink his left eye at his neigh
bor. .
"Coos Bay, with her deep water
rivers and inlets, being almost a doz
en In number, extending from the Hay
Into the mainland and navigable for
boats from five to twenty miles, taken
in connection with the bay proper,
which is fifteen miles long and from
ono to three miles wide, forms the
harbor, that with a reasonable
ainoiiut of improvement can be
made the equal, if not the most con
venient and best adapted harbor for
refuge, for safety and for commerce,
in the world.
"A country so rich in natural re
sources, those most essential to man's
existence, comfort and happiness,
such as coal, timber, soil, equitable
climate with sunshine and rain,
would not have been complete with
out a convenient market-place such
as Coos Bay.
"In coming through the irrigated
part of Idaho I had a talk with an
engineer located in that section of the
country, who said when living In the
East he thought to produce good
crops it Vas necessary to have rich
soil, but since he has lived In Cali
fornia and Idaho he has found out
that all that is necessary is sunshine
and water, and In looking over that
country I could not help but feel the
force of his expression. But when
coming into tho Coos Bay country
and seeing the rich soil, and finding
you have abundant rainfall and sun
shine and a climate in which vege
tation grows tho year round, I can
not but exclaim, 'what more can
mortal man wish for?'
"What is needed for tho rapid de
velopment of this country is direct
railroad connection with all parts of
tho United States. When Rail meets
Sail on tho shores of Coos Bay there
will be phenomenal development of.
both the country and tho cities on
the bay. I believe Marshfield will
be the centre of the business on the
bay, and your city council and
board of pubjlc works should estab
lish street grades that will permit
10-foot basements under business
buildings and allow for amplo drain
age and sewerage. If such grades aro
established now It will savo the city
and property owners hundreds of
thousands of dollars. These are a
fow of the thoughts that havo come
to me whilo I havo been in your
country."
Got Away With $04,000.
Milwaukee, Oct. 26. Investigation
of a loss of approximately ?C4,000,
reported last night from the railway
depot office of the United States Ex
press company in this city, shows that
tho money was probably taken by an
omployo who Is thoroughly familiar
with tho surroundings and that with
the best means of making away with
the plunder.

WIDESPREAD
Everybody Wants To Learn All
They Can About Coos Bay
and Its Resources.
TALK OF CONSOLIDATION
Business Men in Large Cities Tell
Mr Bell Coos May Should Con
centrate. Seymour H. Bell, who has been
absent for eight days on a business
trip to Portland and the sound cities,
leturned to Marshfield yesterday
more Impressed with the Importance
of this section than ever before. Mr.
Bell encountered Interest In the
country wherever he went. Anxious
inquirers were seen In every city ho
visited, and reporters chase a man
from Coos Bay until they land him in
a corner where he has to talk.
They will not take no for an answer
lor they have orders to deliver the
goods, and will not be put off. But
the average Coos Bay citizen, unless
he forgets his worth when he Is on
the outside, will not hang back when
the outside wishes to hear something
about this country, and no reports
come back of anybody's backsliding
in this manner when they visit the
outside world.
The practice is now becoming com
mon for residents of the several
cities about the bay to register "C003
Bay" when they are away from home,
and this Is all the information the
newspaper men and colonists desire
for scenting something worth hear
ing if they can find the man who
registered. And thero aro good re
ports coming in every day respecting
the willingness of Coos Bay jjUizeus
to say something comallmantarv
f.bout this soctibnrPWC"'Ujtt'
Mr. Bell encountered Walter Lyon
while In Portland and found him
busy describing the country to a
crowd of eager listeners. According
to Mr. Bell, and the evidence which
any person may see who reads the
Portland papors, tho papers of tho
city are helping In every possible way
to disseminate information about
Coos Bay and lose 110 opportunity to
say a good word for It. All this Is
greatly appreciated here, since It aids
in spreading information which
thousands of persons seek.
And in this connection, Mr. Bell
learned something which was greatly
surprising to him. Before ho left he
was familiar with the effort to con
solidate the cities about the bay for
the purpose of concentrated action In
certain lines, and he found that peo
ple in Portland, Seattle, and Taconia
were Interested in the proposition,
and several reasons were advanced
m its favor. In tho first", place, ' It
promises a more lucid understanding
to tho outside world, than If tho old
practlco of separate cities la con
tinued. People of the outside hear
about Coos Bay, but when Marshfield,
North Bond or Empire aro mentioned,
the names do not suggest Coos Bay
to them.
The borough scheme is practically
new to the Pacific coast, and there
fore, It has a certain charm. Every
body seems to believe that It is the
action to adopt, for it will aid as they
say, In concentrated action, and that
is what every now country should bo
certain of accomplishing. Tho Or
egonlan looks upon the proposal as
a proper proceeding and comments
upon it as follows:
"Citizens of Coos Bay aro prepar
ing to gather a half a dozen towns,
or embryo cities, under ono municip
al government, and by this means se
cure a city containing something like
12,000 Inhabitants and over twenty
miles of deep waterfront. This seems
to bo an incomparable opportunity
to demonstrate the truth of the dec
laration "In union there is strongth,"
end incidentally to demonstrate tho
direct effectiveness of tho initiative.
With energy consolidated and ambi
tion stimulated and envy dissipated,
an enterprising and progressive com
munity will in due tlmo realize tho
dream of a city on Coos Bay. Tho
plan Is as yet undeveloped, but It is
considered a promising one.
"When they make ono city out of
Jill tho twons on Coos Bay, let the
communities vote for a slogan tho
same day they name tho metropolis
of Southern Oregpn, It would bo
cowardly to leave this Importaat
question to posterity."
Mr. Bell talked with many busi
ness men In the cities ho visited
and they all are familiar with the
name Coos Bay, but they all wanted
to know more about it. And Ibis
is the rule, whether business man
or otherwise. The name is becom
ing familiar throughout tho country,
ond Its advantages and resource
aro becoming better understood
every day. The winter will see oven
a greater travel to this country than,
the summer showed, If outside in
dications count for anything. There
Is magic In the name as well, for It
has a pleasing sound, and wherever
seen or heard, It attracts atten
tion. Another thing which Mr. Bell
learned was tho fact that Portland
business mon arc devising ways and
means for expanding their trade re
lations with the Coos Bay country.
They are all keeping their eyes
open for every new development
here and Intend to be In touch with
them.
