L . 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

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.*
