"There had been no open run on the bank, and nothing unusual noted by u. excepting the withdrawal of two large savings deposit, of 110,000 each," said President Moore. "Up to the last day we did not suffer any special strain on that score, but we had reason to be lieve that a run would be started on the following day should the bank open Its doors." By the suspension of the bank It was able o conserve. It is said, the amount of cash on hand, which can now be added to the fund available for pay ment of depositors. It is believed there was about $50,000 cash on hand the day of the suspension. Judge A E. Reames, attorney for President Moore, Is today completing the drafting of deeds and papers in cident to the transferring by Mr. Moore of the Water street warehouse property valued at $60,000 and the eastern Ore gon and Washington wheat lands aggre gating 7,400 acres, which he proposes to place at the disposal of the deposit ors should the bank fail to pay dollar property to be transferred, he said their actual value waa much more than could be realized immediately to meet demands. He said he would for a rush sale place their realizing value at about $250,000, on a conservative estimate. Wheat Xada Valuable, While there 1. a question as to the propriety of giving out any estimate of their value prior to offering them for sale, Mr. Moore was willing to say that in his opinion they should bring that amount under any circumstances. It Is possible they will realise more than that sum. Today Directors Lytle and Frlede, who have ud to this time held aloof. showed their interest in the bank's af fair, by being present during the morn ing. President Moore said to The Jour nal today: "I feel that too much censure Is being thrown upon Mr. Lytle and Mr. Frlede. They tried to do their duty as directors and were at the bank nearly every morning. If they made some mistake, in judgment there were greater mis takes made by myself, and I know Mr. Morrl. feels the same a. to hla .hare in error, made. "The attitude of Mr. Lvtle and Mr. Frlede toward the bank 1. better than they are given credit for. They have assured me that they will stand In with me and help and I think that they will do so. But with the severe criticism and blame that Is being directed arainst them it makes them hesitate to throw off their coats, so to speak, and get In and help us. I feel that they should be exonerated to a large extent. ' Cashier W. C.

One of the favorite tamale venders on the east side of the river is Tamale Joe. Joe has a route which Includes a goodly portion of East Portland, ex tending a. rar a. Alblna. He is van. ously regarded as a Hindoo, a China. man, and a Dago by those who buy of him, out in reality he is a Turk and his name 1. uulllamand. But he Is dark skinned and romantic looking and many buy or him because they think that his tamales must be the real article.

The odor without Is nauseating that , within is scarcely to be borne by one who hasn't lived In it for a month or so. What files couldn't find room on the outside have settled within.
