POSTAL SAVINGS
Uncle Sam's Bank Has Deposits
Which in the. Agreegate
Amount to $5,863.
OVER HUNDRED ACCOUNTS
HAVE NOW BEEN OPENED
Mill City and Jefferson Use the
Local Post Office As a
Depository for Funds.
Continued from Friday, February 7.
Th.it the postal savings bank estab
lished in Albany during the month of
July 1911 is transacting a larger vol
ume of business than similar institu
tions in other cities in this section of
the state, and that the business has
been steadily increasing, is indicated
by the figures compiled by the Dem
ocrat representative this morning.
In July 1912, one year after the bank
was established, the deposits reached
a total of $3832.00, while at the pres
ent time the sum of $5,863.00 is on
deposit with the local postal bank.
Another indication of the popularity
o'f the institution is the large number
of depositors. According to a state
ment made this morning by Clerk
Meyers, there are at the present time
119 persons who have opened accounts
with the local depository.
Both Jefferson and Mill Citv used
the Albany postoffice as a depository
and accounts from the latter place are
larger than in any other town in the
country outside of Albany. This is
accounted for because of the larger
number of men employed near that
place in the lumber business and be
cause of the further fact that no bank
is operat-d at Mill City. Thte depos
its from Jefferson are comparatively
lijrbt. A separate account is kept for
both these towns at the local office
and the deposits from Mill City are
not included in the figures above
given.
The postal savings department of
the local office is under the supervis
ion of R. N. Torbet.

SGIO CASEWIL L BE
SETTLED BY COURT
Judge William Galloway Will
Convene Special Term Here
Early Next Week.
SUIT BROUGHT TO ENJOIN
CITY FROM COLLECTING TAX
Plaintiffs Alleges Methods of
Extending Limits of City
Were Irregular.
To decide the case brought by T.
A. Richardson and others to enjoin
the city of Scio' from collecting its
city tax on the property annexed to
the city by the extension of the lim
its of that city last summer and in
order that the collection of taxes in
this county will not be delayed, Judge
William Galloway wil convene a" spe
cial term of court here early next
week.
The work of extending the taxes on
the 1912 assessment roll is almost
completed and County Clerk Marks
expects to turn the roll over to the
sheriff for collection in about a week.
Owing to the fact that the clerk is
enjoined from extending the Scio city
tax on the property annexed to the
citv by a temporary injunction issued
by Judge Galloway he cannot turn
over the roll for collection until this
question is settled. To prevent any
delay in the collection of taxes Judge
Galloway will come up and try the
case early next week.
It is alleged by the plaintiffs in the
case thai the proceedings by which
the city limits were extended were ir
regular, illegal, and that a city tax
cannot be levied and collected legally
on the property sought to be taken
within the city by these proceedings.
It is claimed that the election at which
the city limits were extended was not
held in accordance with the law in
that the residents in the territory
sought to be annexed were not given
opportunity to vote on the question
separately and tltat their votes were
not counted separately from those of
the residents residing within the old
limits of the city.
It is expected that the question will
be definitely determined by the mid
dle of next week so that the tax roll
will be turned over to the sheriff and
that the tax collection will go forward
without delay.

During the Lenlen season we expect

no scarcity of society news. There
seems to be always enough happening

it is almost impossible to keep track
of them all. If the secretaries of these
organizations will see that reports are

E.D.HENRY FA1LST0
APPEAR IN COURT
The Harrisburg Bootlegger Who
Was Convicted by Jury This
Week Forfeits Bail.
DONATES $500 MORE TO
COUNTY TODAY; TOTAL $1250
Was Found Guilty of Selling
Some Booze and Conducting
Nuisance at Harrisburg.
Rather than face the music and re
ceive his sentence from Judc Kelly
this morning, E. D. Henry of Harris
burg, 'who was this week found guilty
of selling intoxicating liquor in viola
tion of the local option law and o'f
conducting a nuisance in that city, has
evidently left for parts unknown, for
he failed to appear in court this niorn
iug. Attorney Whitney who has defend
ed Henry this week asked for an ex
tension of time until 1 o'clock this af
ternoon in order to see if the defend
ant could be located. However, one
o'clock arrived and Henry could not
be found and his bond of $500 was for
feited. Henry had furnished $500 cash bail
but substituted this last December for
the bond which was signed by Wil
liam magics anil ueorge JJevauey.
Witli the forfeiture of the $500 bond
this afternoon the sum of $1250 has
been contributed to the treasury of
I. inn county in this manner by Henry.
Henry was arrested in Harrisburg on
one occasion for violating the local
option law and when arraigned in the
justice court in that city was placed
under bonds of $250. He forfeited
this bond.
Later he returned to Harrisburg and
was indicted by the grand jury for
selling liquor and his bonds fixed at
$500. Again he left' the cily of Har
risburg and Linn county and his bonds
were forfeited once more. Today he
again forfeited $500. making a total of
$1250 which he alone has contributed
to the county.
Henry apparently believed that it
was cheaper for him to forfeit $500
than to remain here and probably re
ceive a fine of at least that .much and
a jail sentence besides, in addition to
what he would receive on the other
charge of which he was found guilty
that of conducting a nuisance in Har
risburg. On the latter charge he
cpuld have Deen fined from '50 to $250
or it was possible to' give him a jail
sentence of six months and no fine.
These were the last liquor cases on
the docket of the present adjourned
term of Judge Kelly's court. District
Attorney Hill and Deputy Johnston
made a remarkable record this week,
securing convictions in each one o'f the
liquor cases.
According to the report made by F.
M. Rcdfield who has just completed
experting the books of Ex-Sheriff D.
S. Smith, they were found correct to
a penny and the county owes Smith
$3.30. For the period from July 106
to Jan. 6, 1913, Sheriff Smith handk
the sum of $2,075,826.52.
J. K. Haight will leave tonight for
San Antonio, Texas, where he will be
located for several months selling
buggies and automobiles in which line
he has been engaged for several
years.

SELLING

Oak Mahogany Walnut.
WITHOUT SALESMEN
It is a well known fact that the
most expensive part of piano sell
ing is the salesman. As three to
four pianos per month is consid
ered wood work for the average
salesman drawing a salary from
$150 to $2t)0, it is apparcntthat for
this item alone the purchaser li.t's
to pay $50 more, for his instrument.
You can readily ascertain this by
the difference in prices if yon go to
the Woodworlh Drug Co., who, for
instance, during the month of De
cember sold nine (l) pianos with
out the assistance o'f a single sales
man, lint the saving is not the
only difference between this and
houses that employ an army of
salesmen ; there is no urging to
buy, no asking nr your name and
address, no following home, no mo
lesting of any kind by persisting
salesmen. The only thing that will
urge you, the only salesman who
will tempt you to buy, is 'Trice;'
employ him!
