Savings and liquidate, its affairs under
the.dlrectlon of the receiver, will in-
elude a statement to the court Showing
. the condition of the German-American,
and also a composite statement to show
what condition the combined banks
'would be in the day after the absorp
tion takes place.
" It is not proposed that the German
American shall assimilate the assets of
, the Oregon Trust, but simply that these
assets shall be administered through
the flerman-Amerlcn, and that all
i K. k.nt k.nimt. anil nail Wlllllv
for payment of the creditors of the
' ToUl ...21,690,949.66
LTt Zzoess Assets.
These statements look rood to me.
and I believe the proposed plan of ab-
Dtion and liauldation la perfectly
feasible," Ua Pfahler. said. "The only
doubt I had at any time was as to
, t. a ,At,l, aHnw , H
entlra llablLltlea nf the.. Oreaon . Trust
& Savings bank could be absorbed by
the GermahAmer4can without impair
ment of the tatter's capital.
"I rind that this can be done, on tne
proposed plan, the -German-American,
By putting in au Its aesets, will be able;
to more than balanfe the Oregon Trust's
net liabilities, ana leave excess assets
or 19,278.13, ana in addition nave uer
man-American'a 8400.000 capital intact
The accountant s method or reaching
this result was to add tne uerman-
Amerlcan s present surplus of $10,063.40
to Its Z per cent premium suoscriDea
capital of 872,075, getting a -total of
282.138.40. From this, amount he de
ducted the net. deficit found between
the Oregon Trust's assets and liabili
ties, and this left an asset excess of
2.272.18 over and above the German
American's subscribed capital of $400,-
000. r
2ubUo Has ' Wrong Idea.
"There may have been some popular
misconception ot ins pian oi capital
ising the enlarged ' German-American
bank," said Samuel O. Reed, who has
been slated for nresldent of the In
siltutlon. ' The men who subscribe
for this stock are paying not only dol
lar for dollar at par, but are paying
in addition a premium or zo per cent.
"In other words, every $100 of the
stock calls for an Investment of 2125
The premium of 26 per cent Is put up
In the form of a surplus for the further
strengthening of the bank. It makes
the atoek worth that much more. There
is not a dollar of water to be put Into
tne .enlarged uerman-American panic. -

of the East Side Phonograph company's
stock. But . we were determined that
these goods should be sold In a very
short space, of time, and the radical cuts
which we made in prices have certainly
accomplished our object. When we of
fer a regular - 826 high 'grade modern
talking machine for $11.65, that's going
some, and 325 machines for 116.76. with

Just about five or six days more, will

every machine In this stock Is Included
In the radical 'price reductions, except
certain contract goods. '
Record cablneta are also embraced in
thla sensational smashing of selling cost,
and are likewise prloed at figures which
are really less than wholesale. Regular
215 cabinets.: well made, handsome and
first class, are now marked $8.10; $26

$16.66, and higher priced cabinets . on

and one doxen 10-lnch records, all com

which will be a credit to anv home.
and as handsome an article In the way
of a cabinet as one could wish for. It

German-American, who relinquishes his I
position and practically proposes to turn
over everything to the reorganised
-bank and retire from any connection
whatever, explained that ha adopted this
course In a measure from selfish mo
tives and also from a desire to see I
every creditor or the old Oregon Trust
paid dollar for dollar.
He and the Home Telephone com
pany, 'with which he was - associated,
have approximately 3460,000 at stake
in the- stspended bank, and they are
willln toi stand back of the reorran-
