Ellensburg National Bank All Right. ELLENSBURG, Dec. 11.-{Special.]-The report of the suspension of the Oregon National bank, of Portland, caused some uneasiness here, as the Ellensburg National, which reopened a few weeks ago, had been closely allied to it. This morning a number of business men circulated an agreement not to withdraw funds for a week. Every man found signed it. The bank had no run during the day and none was expected, as the people soon learned that no loans had been made since reopening. and the funds on hand were sufficient to meet all demands.
