By FRANK JENKINS
BILL DELZELL. a recited In these
chronlclea yesterday, waa post
maater of Klamath Falla during the
Wilson administration. He waa pre
ceded, although not directly, by Bob
Emmltt. Bill tella tola atory on Bob:
"B
OB came charging into the bank
one evening after houra to bor
row 400. and he took the money In
gold coin. He seemed a little wrought
up about something, and I wondered
wftat he wanted the money for. but
didn't ask him. I found out later.
"The postofflce regulations require
all box rentals to be paid In advance
at the beginning of the quarter, and
It was several days after the begin
ning. It sccma that an inspector
had dropped In and found some 8400
still uncollected.
"Bob came tearing into the post
office with his aack of gold coin,
flung it Into the inspector's lap, and
spat out: "Here, take your d d
money 1
THE Joke of it was, of course,
that those men who owed for
their boxes were as good aa gold, and
Bob knew it. It rasped him to have
their credit even questioned, and so
he came over wlt.hout a minute's
delay and got the money In gold
coin and fairly flung It at the in
spector's head.
THE men wno owctl the nioney
were good for it." That waa
characteristic of those days in the
Klamath country.
Bill Delzell came into the Klam
ath community as a atrange banker,
and these were the instructions giv
en him as to lending: 'Every farmer,
with two possible exceptions, in the
entire Klamath basin Is good for any
sum within reason that he wanta.
Lend to any of them without hesi
tation." Even the two as to whom a slight
exception w-aa made. Bill says, turn
; ed out to be perfectly good.
Those were great old days, weren't
they?
THE KLAMATH COUNTY BANK,
which was merged eventually
' with the First National Bank Bill
I Delzell Is still being quoted was an
outgrowth of the Brick Store, of
LlnkvlUe. The Brick Store was op
erated by Uncle Jerry Martin, Evan
Reamea and Charlea S. Moore.
The Brick store, as waa customary
in those, days, grew naturally and
easily Into a private bank. Settle
ments were made on a yearly baals.
when cropa or stock were sold, and
people fell Into Vie habit of leaving
their money with the Brick Store
for safe keeping, knowing the high
character of the men who ran it.
They carried checkbooks and
checked against these accounts.
IJACK In those days, nobody of
- standing thought of making a
note in advance of the spending of
money. If you had It In mind to
buy a few head of cattle, or a few
hundred head, or perhaps a few
thousand, you put your checkbook
in your pocket and atarted out.
When you bought the cattle, or
hay, or whatever it waa you were
after, you wrote a check for it and
the bank In thla Instance the Brick
Store paid the check w,ien It came
In. and charged It to your account.
1 If you didn't have money enough to
cover It, it was charged up to you
a an overdraft.
That was the custom of the coun
try not merely of the Klamath
country, bvt of Southern and East-
ern Oregon generally. The men who
were operating on that basis were as
sound as a nut financially and
honest aa the day Is long. They
; PAID THEIR DEBTS.
T.he system waa admirably adapted
to the needs of the time.
THE BRICK STORE, aa related,
grew )n time Into the Klamath
County Bank, which was operated ac
cording to the methods thst had
always been followed and was a splen
did asset of the community, taking
care of Its needs In a most satisfac
tory manner.
Then came the first Oregon bank
law, requiring examination of banks.
An examiner dropped In one day, and
what he found In the way of assets
was about MOO.000 of overdrafts! You

RESTRAINER PLEA
The application of the Clotd Hill
school dlntrlct for a restraining order
against George A. Melslnger, former
principal, to prohibit the pedagogue
from entering the school grounds
dally, and, to declare hla contract
void and unenforceable, waa post
poned this morning by Judge H. D.
Norton, until the conclusion of the
jury trial started thla morning. Thla
will probably be tomorrow aftornoon.
The Gold Hill school board alleges
In Its plea, that Melslnger dally ap
pears at the scholo house, for teach
ing, and that such action is detri
mental to school discipline and
peace. It is further claimed that hla
contract, made by a former school
board la null. The new board hired
W. A. Thomason as principal.
The Gold Hill school, and ft num
ber of witnesses from that city were
present In court this morning, and
were directed to return Tuesday
afternoon.
The action grows out of a school
dispute, that haa raged In Gold Hill
since last spring.
The action bears a resemblance to
the Butte Falls school row, that
shook Jackson county school circles
for several years. Tho Butte Falls
teachers were displaced by new ones,
at the start of the school year. The
old tenchers, aa does Melslnger, pre
sented themselves dally, ready to
teach, claiming their con ti acta were
valid. aLter the ousted teachers filed
suit for collection of wages, and won
in both the lower and high court.
