school girl companions of Mc
Cauley's, the shooting occurred
while the trio sat in a parked
automobile.
MeCauley, the girls said,
pointed a small calibre rifle at
his head and dared them to pull
the trigger, which they refused.
"We thought he was only fool
ing," the girls told the officer.
Then the youth ejected several
cartridges from the magazine of
the rifle and re-loaded it, plac
ing the stock between his legs,
barrel upwards.
The cartridge was fired with
the bullet striking MeCauley in

Constructive Loans, No Money for Speculation E. C. Sam
mons, president of the United States National' Bank of Port
land with their 39th branch opening in West Salem, discusses
policy with Rex Gibson, manager. Mr. Sammons, principal
speaker at a West Salem banquet to commemorate the oc
casion, stated his institution had ample funds available for .
constructive loans, none for speculation.
Sammons Outlines Policy
Of West Salem Bank
f E. C. Sammons, president of the United States National Bank of
Portland, principal speaker at a West Salem banquet held Mon
day evening to commemorate the opening of a branch bank in
this community, stressed the "high concept of service" maintained
by his institution and emphasized that ample funds were available
"for construction loans, none for
speculation.
Oregon, the speaker pointed
out, was among the top 10 states
of the nation in respect to per
capita income. Salem's popula
tion had increased 40 percent in
less than 10 years, from 30,773
in 1940 to a closely calculated
52,800 in 1948. In West Salem
growth had been even more pro
nounced, from 1491 in 1940 to
an estimated 2800 in 1949.
History Of banking in Salem
began in 1868 upon founding of
the Ladd & Bush bank. United
State National bank of Salem
opened November 11, 1904 with
a staff of two. One of these, Dave
Eyre, is now in an executive po
sition with the Ladd & Bush
branch in Salem. E. W. Hazard
is dead.
When Walter Musgrave, mayor
of West Salem, approached Mr,
Sammons less than three years
ago relative to establishing a
branch bank in his community
the locality had no hardware
store, dress shop, drug store
radio station, furniture store or
bank. Nor was there then a doc
tor or a dentist. Recent indus
trial growth and population in
creases have justified these new
acquisitions in civic develop
ment. Mr. Sammons spoke of the
part his institution hoped to
play in assisting farmers finance
the harvest, development and
delivery df crops. Potential
hydro-electric power in the Col
umbia and Willamette basing, he
pointed out, amounts to 20 mil
lion' kilowatt hours of electric
energy of the equivalent of 40
Bonneville dams. .
