Five minutes after the First State and Savings bank closed its doors here Saturday morning, assurance of financial assistance was received from Portland, which would have permitted the bank to stay open. This information was given out by bank officials. The bank opened at 10 and closed at 10:20 o'clock, when It seemed improbable that the await ed word would be forthcoming. One hundred and forty thousand dollars had been promised from Portland, $5000 from San Francisco, and $30,000 from other sources, It was said, bringing the total" up to i!75,0O0. General economic conditions which piev -n e loans uoing called with in fo rl ig business houses to the v 11, dep.etlon of reserves, together It!-, reft it steady withdrawals were ho re sons given for the close. S. E. Wiile , of the state banking de partment, ha. been appointed re ceiver. The closing was a crushing blow to officials of the bank, who believed the steps they had taken would prevent such action. The bank closed Its doors Janu ary 12, 1912, but reopened at the end of !)0 days, after the whole coun ty had given evidence of its faith In Captain J. W. Siemens, the founder, by offering every dollar that could be raised. The retfpenlng was marked by a demonstration said never to have equaled In the history of banking. "The uffalrs of the First State & Savings bank will be liquidated In n n manor that will safeguard the in terests of the depositors and stock holders and without causing distress to those who owe the bank, or with out disturbing the business of the community. This was the statement made by C. E. Wallea, receiver. He said no effort would be made to reopen the Institution.
