Las . been made of the ESiglibli, system,
conditions here are so different that
an entirely new system will, have to be
' built up. It was at first Intended to
start the banks In about. 28 of the big
gest 'cities "of the country, but this plan
has been changed. - It is now. decided, to
' pick out 25 or 80 sections, o'f the eoun
try where industrial conditions are
"Varied. This' will be done for the pur
pose of testing efficiency of the new
banking system and of determining the
response which may be, expected on' the
part of the different classes of people
-served. "'-
Will Zsaaa Cards.
' ' An improvement In the continental
'system of Issuing pass books to deposi
tors will be Inaugurated by the govern-J
went. ' Instead of the book, as proviaea
by the private banks,; a card will be
Issued to the depositor, showing' by per
- foratlon the amount of money deposited.
T TMs card will-- be a duplicate of a
similar one perforatedM tlte same time
.and kept In a postofllMhe; -latter t
'furnish an absolute ec2rfo.f the funds
" receipted for.. Should" afrtfrd be.lost by
the depositor a duplicate tnay be ob
tained upon application to th' office Is
'suing the original. , ' '" ' .
It will be made perfectly plain these
rcards are non-transferrable 'and . non
rnegotiable. They-cannot be traded In
or passed about as legal tender. -They
must be held by the party BiaRjhgthe
'deposit, and presented--by that party
when it Is desired , to-wlthdjraw an or(;
all of ihe tunas aeposuea. ;
' A machine similar to a cafch register
'in operation will be used to punch the
-deposit cards. This means . that , the
record will be mechanically accurate,
and since both the depositor's card and
that held by the government are punched
' by the same act, no discrepancy can
.-possibly exist' 1 .r " -,-.-
In the course of time H la arranged
that the whole system shall be self
sustaining;. Only 2 per cent Interest will
!be paid on deposits, and tke bariks and
'trust companies, acting as depositories
'.for the funds collected iby -the govert
onent, will be' required under the law
fto pay 2 per? cent interest. The
"quarter of -1 per cent will represent the
.only profit the, government will make,
'and this will go entirely toward mainte
nance and will likewise go at reserves.
,t- rinaaclal Ceadttioas. v ;
I Recent examinations' of Individual
'banks throughout the middle west have
' revealed such results as to innate un
fmintakably that the Jmprotment In
'conditions which was noted in a mod
jerato degree at the time of the last call
lis decidedly permanent, and that the
t betterment of conditions which followed
ith warnings sent out at the time when
( the real estate bpeculative i movement
.'became alarming, is so noteworthy as
-to give every reason for encouragement.
Kven those officials who before the
last bank call were inclined to be de
' cidedly pessimistic with reference to
. the state of things and thb prospects for
the fall teason have changed their attl
; tude In view of the recent reports from
"the flold. The returns from the exam
iners will be tested more at laree be
i fore very long, as It is understood that
' another call for condition will shortly
be sent out- This will leave the In
terval between this and the last call
comparatively, brief, but the feeling Is
tbat the office will do well to keep close
' track of banklngT conditions at . this
Juncture, In spite of the generally more
.xavorabla state . of things which is In
dicated, a already remarked.

greatly discommoded because of the
fallufe of the election board In Breiten
bush precinct to organise, v There are
61 registered voters In the precinct of
which 35 were Republican and1 1 Dem
ocratic. Apparently '; no , one. j appeared
at the polling place to vote, or if they
did they made no complaint that the
polling place was not open or perhaps
thought they had mistaken the day, It
was most - too pleasant a day . to vote,
anyhow, and probably the population

Gehlhar was somewhat - taken aback
by this reception, but says he will sup

pocket a handful of Allen's cards which
he said, he had : gathered In various

taken Into custody in" California and
will be returned tb the Oregon hoepltal

worrying the officials at Salem with
his- communications for' more than a
year past. He has written from -New
Jersey, '.'Indiana, Texas, Iew Mexico,
Arizona and California. He alleges that
th'tn authorities at Salem pesterhtm
with electrlo. waves and X-rays sent
out from the hospital for, the .Insane
at Salem where he. was Price confined.
Williams may be a harmless creature,
but the friends of the governor have
thought It best to place Williams where
no .harm might come to any . state of
ficial from the madman. , The California
officials refused to commit Williams to
an asylum In that state 1 which ' has
caused Some feeling on ' the part of the

no likelihood of the authorities of this
