The orders were secured by Mr. Riley,' supposedly, as a means of carrying his money with him safely! Shortly after securing the orders, . Mr. Riley came to Spokane and later came to this city, where he Is now lo cated. The orders, like all money or ders, were good for but one year and. when the date of their limitation pass ed Mr. Riley failed to have them re newed but presented them at Pendle ton postofflce a short time ago to ba . cashed by Postmaster Brown. As the orders had expired or were - null on account of the time limit fix- ed by the postofflce department they could not be cashed, but Instead Mr. Riley made application through the . Pendleton postofflce and these appll- - cations, 25 In number, calling for $1, 000 each, have Just reached the post- office department at Washington,. where the Interesting story was se cured by the East Oregonlan's cor respondent. The postofflce department will Is-- sue to Mr. Riley the amount of the orders In drafts, which will be cashed ' at local banks. The task of Issuing the applications for renewals of the 250 orders waa ope of huge magnitude as each one of the 250 orders had to be personally Inspected and compared to the ad--vices from the Tacoma office which issued them and it required the great er part of a day to inspect the pile of orders and issue the 25 applications for renewals. So far as Is known this' is the larg est amount to pass through any northwest postofflce to one individual.
