T. Brown, will be open for business Monday morning. This was the announcement made this morning by Assistant Postmaster Harry Rees and it is expected that many persons who have for years hoarded their sav ings In t'm boxes burled beneath two feet of earth in their distrust of the banking business will deposit these accumulations with Uncle Sam. safe In the assurance that the government will protect them and their wealth. The postal banking hours will be the same as the present money order hours from 9 a. m. unf.l 5 p. m. and the business will be handled by the money order department. According to Mr. Reese, no extra clerical help will be necessary at prestn, but after the growth of the business, which" is expected to be gradual, another man will perhaps be required. Before a person may become a de positor in the savings bank, It will become necessary for h m or her to give in their whole pedigree much as Is done when the census man comes around. The nationality, age, sex, occupation, place of residence and all other data concerning the depositor must be duly registered before sav ings will be accepted. The local post office offic.ais do not expect a great business on the outset but believe whin the system becomes known and understood, theie will be a considerable increase ? MII.LIONAIUI: STOIvES !

KEEFE "'I Secretarv PenJIeton Comm-rel;il Club (Courtesy the Journal.) IL SAIE IS ANOTHER FAILURE OXE CKXT 1 SETTER IS OFFERED TODAY Pilot Rock Clip Sold Tor 11 1-2 Cents While the liamhart Clip Brought 10 1-2 Cents Completes Local Wool Business. The second Pendleton wool sale, scheduled for today was even less of a failure than the first for there was not a pound" purchased at it. How ever there has been one large private sale recorded since the first sale, that of the J. E. Smith clip of 180,000 pounds to Charles Green, represent ing J. Koshland & Co. of Boston at different prices. The Pilot Rock part of the clip, comprising 12,7,000 pounds, sold for 14 1-2 cents, while the Barnhart clip only brought 10 1-2 cents, which, however, was one cent better than was offered at the last wool sale and Mr. Smith has profit ed considerably by holding. The only other wool to be sold Is a small clip owned by a man by the name of Miller of Long Creek and it will doubtless go at private sale. This will practically compete the wool business In Pendleton for the season and there has been con siderably less of this product han dled from this city than has been the case for the past few years. Re sponsibility for this is not the short ness of the crop but the fact that the Echo and Pilot Rock branches have cut off more than half of the wool that formerly came to Pendleton. Then, also, the loose sack rate has made it practical to ship from any point so that wool which was former ly shipped out of Pendleton is not stored here now. According to one warehouseman, the buyers have been trying to dis credit the wool sale idea and prac tically succeeded this year as the condition of the market assisted them. WILL LECTURE ABOUT EVIL OF THE FLY The ladies of the Pendleton Civic club are going to wage a crusade against the fly this summer and they will start the same within a short time, probably next week, by attend ing a lecture in their meeting room in the city hall.
