GEORGE C1UMBERLATN,
(IS.) ..... Governor..
By the Governor. , . .
F. W. BENSON, Secretary of State.
WTord was received in Astoria yester
day noon that Governor Chamberlain, at
the request of the Portland bankers, had
declared the remainder of the week as
let-al holidays.
JTlws news came as a bolt of lightning
out of a clear sky, for no banker nor
business man in our city had any inti
niation that the flurry in finances, which
has been causing the east considerable
trouble the past week, could in any re
mote way affect our banking institutions.
Inquiry into the cause for the rovern-
er's action elicited the fact that a num
ber of the members of the- Portland
cleaving-house association had journeyed
to the capital and conferred. with: the
governor, pointing out to him the fact
that considerable money, which is the
surplus of our state banks, is in the
liamla of eastern hanker and they have
rvfu-ed to make any shipments of cu-
rwey to the wet , until the money
stringency is somewhat relieved.
Having apprehension that " demand)
might be made by depositors, for with
drawals of currency, especially aa tie
first of the month 7?roaeB, the Port
land bankers, aa a protrr'Jon to their
institution from tie r: J""iy of a
run upon their resourca, 1 far- th
legil holidays, and u-iU r..i I2,zlzj
morning no one will It t"j t draw
any cash from the backs. , '
Local bankers and brlz-:;
however, feel that the aeta wrs

to eay this afternoon, nt'i t'-z' 1
by an Astorian representative:
"The notice which we received t'J.j
noon was certainly a surprise," g!l
Mr. Frank Pattoa, cashier of ti A-'.cli
Savings Bank, "a no hint of try stria-,
gency in the local money . market l'i

certain none exist in Astoria. Why,

Mr. S. S. Gordon, cashier of tie rL:i

before clos.2 j cllt; . , .
'We had no intimation that ary ts-
tion would be taken by tie fovcmrr,
until we saw it in today's paper. Tier
is absolutely no reason for such a move
and I think the Portland bankers are
acting on snap judgment. .The bank
here can't help themselves and must
close as their surplus, ia tied up to some
extent ia Portland, but everything will
w running snaooiaiy Monday, ana taer
U aa misc. at all.far,alann." ...
lAt the Astoria National, Mft-J. E.
Higgiiis, the cashier. smiliii"?y informed
n that the bank would close its doors
until Monday, as the governors procla
mation gives them no option in the mat
ter. ;: "I can. see no reason for such ex
treme action," said Mr. Higgius, "unless
the Portland banks have been loaning
their surplus to eastern institutions." .
Asked as to any unusual withdrawals
having been made during the afternoon
he informed ouf representative that
they had no paid out any' more money
than in the course of an ordinary day's
business.
Officers of the bank, however, will be
in their respective places of business
during the week and will no doubt ac
cept money, for safe keeping over night,
'Tom any of our , merchants who are
timid about leaving large sums in their
store safes. 1 ...
They will also nuke arrangements to
take care of pay rolls from any of the
large employers, whose laborers are paid
weeKty. ...
Collections will be somewhat delayed,
owing to the closing over the first of
the month, but assurance is felt that
the Monday opening vrill not be attend
ed by any unusual withdrawals off
moneys on deposit, f
