CONDUCTED ON QUIET

Deadwood, S. D., Feb. 13.-Acting on
orders from postal authorities at
washington, the local postmaster re-
fuses to give any information regard
ing the success of the postal savings
bank which was opened here January
1. In this way it is possible to keep
secret the facts from the public wheth-
er the experiment is successful or not.
During the month of January the
total deposits for the As postal banks
all over the country amounted to about
$50, 900, making an average of $1,000
to each bank. 1t Is thought the de-
posts of the local bank is consider
able below this average The fact that
entire confidence Is felt in the local
commercial banks and that they pay
double the interest offered by the pos
tai savings bank, has caused little in
terest to be taken in the latter.
