THE BANKING CLAUSE
HOLDS THEM UP

Because corporations insist upon
making their articles so broad that
they include as an incident to their
principal business the business Of
banking, Secretary of State Olcott
has been compelled to reject them
until their approval by the superin-
tendent of the state banking COM
mission.
One of these applications, a Port
land concern, was rejected because
of that reason yesterday, and sew
eral have been rejected in the past,
since the banking law passed by the
last legislature went into effect. This
law provides that before any corpor-
alton can transact any banking bust
ness whatever that the articles must
have the approval of the commission.
The secretary of state suggests for
the benefit of those contemplating
including the banking business as an
incident to the principal business of
the corporation they are forming
that either they secure the approval
of the commission first, or file supple
mentary articles.

AUTOMATIC CALL SYSTEM
TESTED AND A SUCCESS

Tuesday evening at 7.3O the test
of the automatic call system in
stalled in the new Hotel Bligh was
made. This is the only automatic
call system in the world, and Salem
is the first city to have this system
put in operation in it, and to get the,
advantage of this wonderful inven-
ton. At the time, 1880, an alarm
was turned in from the Bligh. 1t
reached every one of the 80 rooms in
the hotel, and would have awakened
the soundest sleeper in them. At the
same time it called out the fire de-
partment, which responded promptly,
which made the run in one minute
and 25 seconds, the record.
This is an Oregon invention, Ellis
worth Pickell being the inventor, and
the following are the officers of the
company:
