The fact that some eas tern banks have been issu ing clearing house certifi cates to each other, has cans ed some anxed some anthm ed some anxiety throughout the country and even .local ly has seemed to frighten the more timid. But when the situation is once viewed from a sensible standpoint there is absolutely no cause for alarm ; on the other hand conditions look better than they have for some time, and the fact that these clear ing house certificates have been issued among the eas tern banks has no effect on the public, as they have not yet been asked to accept them. The policy of the present administration is to throw open the national treasury to the people to forestall any attempt at a panic that might get started. Nation al banks can get money from the government to move the crops. This will prevent any possible panic and the people have no real cause for alarm. J. L. Kronenberg, presi dent of the Bank of Ban don only smiled when asked of the possibility of the banks here issuing any of the certificates. He stated that the possibilities were so remote as to need no com ment. E. D. Webb, cashier of the First National Bank, stated that the conditions here would not be affected. Portland bankers are of the opinion that the issu- inceof clearing house cer ificates in the east will have no effect on the North west. Will Boost Coos County W. F.
