Barnum has resigned as man ager of the Bank of M oro to ac cept the position of vice-president and manager of the First National lank of The Dalles. By so doing ie hadBerminated a 19 year period of employment with the Wasco Warehouse M illing Co., and Sher man county looses an active, pro gressive citizen. Like all men who are construc tive community builders, M r. Bar num was sometimes misunderstood jut he leaves more permanent monuments to testify to his life in Moro than any other person who las lived in this section of O re gon. W hen the building now occu pied by the M oro Trading Co. Turned and no one could be found to rebuild it, he, with Judge E. V . Littlefield and E. Q . McCoy, formed a company, bought the ruins and rebuilt the property. A few years since he traded his old , homestead residence for air old building on M ain street,known as the Phillips building, to Arthur Phillips, sold the property to J. C. Freeman at a profit of $13, and the M oro Hardware building is the result. The farm he traded was worth much more .than the old building he got in its stead. Against strenuous opposition of other Sherman county banking in terests he was the first to reduce the rate of interest on bank loans to 8%; eliminating all charges and bonus tax customary at that time. W hen he became manager of the W . W . M . Co. Bank, after ward the Bank of M oro, the farm loan interest was 10% with a bonus charge usually in addition. M r. Barnum interested the Burlington Trust Co. of Vermont in Sherman county farm loans with the result that he has placed loans in this county at a straight 8% interest charge, no bonus, and 7% charge on large loans, all with the privi lege of reducing the principal at any interest paying date. Before this was done loans had to be car ried in their entirety until ma turity. During the 13 years he was man F IL M S COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC INFORMATION GEORGE CREEL, CAwirmon M o ro T h e a te r T h u rs d a y , M a rc h 2 7 Admission—Children, 2 5 c ; Adults, 3 5 c ager of the Moro bank he has placed a total of $5,000,000 in loans throughout the county. I his was not done in any ooe year or the total at any one time, but rep- sen ts the total amount of loans placed as the money was paid back by the borrowers and again re loaned. The best part of this rec ord is that this large -amount of money was loaned to the people of Sherman county without any financial loss to those who trusted M r. Barnum with the funds, and show a fine ap’ r>t ° f co-ope£atio° on the part of the people of Sher man county. M r. Barnum has large property interests in Sherman county. W e hope he will keep those interests intoct and continue to be identi fied with the future progress of the county. M r. Barnum was twice elected M ayor of M oro, the last time without his knowledge when he was visiting in the East. H e has been a member of the city council for perhaps more than a dozen years and is still a.member of the board, the council not as yet hav ing acted on his resignation.* — Disc h r Sals Choice of either of two double disc, both good as new, price $100.
