OREGON BANKING INSTITUTIONS TO REMAIN CLOSED FOR FIVE DAYS
No Cause for Alarm So Far as Local Banks are Concerned

From Tuesday’s Daily:
Governor George E. Chamberlain at the request of a delegation of Portland bankers issued a proclamation declaring five business holidays
in all banks in Oregon, the order to take effect this morning. Accordingly people of The Dalles wishing to transact business with the banks today were met by closed doors, upon which the governor’s proclamation was posted…

Local Banks Are Safe
In answer to a query this afternoon regarding the local money condition, J. C. Hostetler, cashier of French & Co. bankers representing the two banks of the city, and after a consultation with J. S. Schenck, president of the First National, said that the local banking institutions were never in better condition than at present. “If it were possible,” said Mr. Hostetler, to get money from Portland to the extent of our resources, we could pay out two for one easily. However, we can do nothing in the present case but abide by the Governor’s proclamation.
There is positively no cause for alarm so far as local banks are concerned.” In referring to the excellent crops and the high prices of
farm products, Mr. Hostetler said that the people of Oregon had every cause to be optimistic as there will be plenty of money so soon as the
amount that is now out taking care of the crops is again brought into the banks.

BITTEN BY VICIOUS DOG
Ed Smith of the Pacific States telephone company was bitten on the right hand by a vicious dog Saturday while he was trying to separate two beligerant canines which were fighting. The dog biting him, belongs to E. H. Sargent and is the same one that bit at Lee Putman who met his
death at that time in front of the shooting gallery on Court street last May.

FINE OREGON FIR
President of The Rock Island Railroad Says Fir Is Finest He Ever Saw
President B. L. Winchell of the Rock Island railroad system was in the city a short time Saturday, coming from Portland in his special car
accompanied by his wife and several friends. The car was attached to the Spokane Flyer Saturday night.

Mr. Winchell saw the furniture at the Portland Commercial club which is of selected Oregon fir. He says he will hereafter have all the furniture
of his passenger coaches made of Oregon fir, and that if E. H. Harriman is not careful “he will be beaten in the race of procuring fine Oregon
fir for coach finishing.” Mr. Winchell says further that the “Oregon fir is the finest he ever saw for interior finishing.”

President Winchell and party have been touring the west and are on their way east.
