ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

          The merger (the "Merger") of West One Bancorp ("West One") with and
into the registrant pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
May 5, 1995, was consummated on December 26, 1995.  West One, a registered
bank holding company headquartered in Boise, Idaho, had total assets of $9.2
billion and total deposits of $7.1 billion at September 30, 1995.  The Merger
was approved by the shareholders of West One and of the registrant on
October 3, 1995, and final regulatory approval was received on December 11,
1995.

          In the Merger, each outstanding share of West One common stock,
other than treasury shares and certain shares held by the registrant or any of
its subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive 1.47 shares of the
registrant's common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares based
on the average of the closing sale prices of the registrant's common stock for
the five trading days immediately preceding December 26, 1995, $31.925 per
share.  Approximately 55 million shares of the registrant's common stock will
be issued in the Merger.  The consideration paid by the registrant in the
Merger was determined by arm's-length negotiations between the parties.

NOTES TO QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
West One Bancorp and Subsidiaries

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These statements are unaudited financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report of West One Bancorp and Subsidiaries
(West One).  All adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and
the acquisitions as discussed below) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows have been made in the accompanying financial
statements.

MERGER WITH U. S. BANCORP
- ------------------------

On May 5, 1995, U. S. Bancorp entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the Merger Agreement) with West One Bancorp, an Idaho corporation (West One),
pursuant to which West One will be merged with and into U. S. Bancorp (the
Merger).  As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of West One's
common stock, par value $1.00 per share (West One Common Stock), will be
converted into 1.47 shares of U. S. Bancorp Common Stock, par value $5.00 per
share (U. S. Bancorp Common Stock).  The Merger Agreement was approved by the
shareholders of West One Bancorp and U. S. Bancorp on October 3, 1995.  The
Merger is subject to approval by certain regulatory agencies and is expected
to be completed by year-end 1995 as a pooling of interests.

As a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, on May 6, 1995, U. S.
Bancorp and West One entered into (i) a Stock Option Agreement between West
One, as issuer, and U. S. Bancorp, as grantee (the West One Stock Option
Agreement), pursuant to which West One granted to U. S. Bancorp the right upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to purchase up to
19.9% of the outstanding shares of West One Common Stock at a price of $34.00
per share, and (ii) a Stock Option Agreement between U. S. Bancorp, as issuer,
and West One as grantee (the U. S. Bancorp Stock Option Agreement), pursuant
to which U. S. Bancorp granted to West One the right to purchase up to 19.9%
of the outstanding shares of U. S. Bancorp Common Stock at a price of $28.00
per share.

RECLASSIFICATION
- ----------------

Certain reclassifications of 1994 amounts were made to conform with the 1995
presentation, none of which affects previously reported net income.

SALE OF HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES
- -----------------------------------

In the first nine months of 1995, held-to-maturity securities of four issuers
were sold because downgrades in credit quality caused the securities to fall
below West One's investment policy guidelines.  The combined amortized cost of
the securities sold was $3.8 million and a net gain of $50 thousand was
realized on the sales.

ACQUISITIONS
- ------------

West One acquired the financial institutions listed below in transactions
accounted for as poolings of interests.  The acquisitions were not material to
West One's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and prior
year financial statements have not been restated.

o   November 10, 1994, National Security Bank with assets of $132 million in
    exchange for 1,101,832 shares of West One Common Stock.

o   September 2, 1994, Valley Commercial Bank, a two-branch $64 million bank
    headquartered in Clarkston, Washington, in exchange for 404,523 shares of
    West One Bancorp common stock.

o   January 21, 1994, Idaho State Bank with assets of $50 million in exchange
    for 133,332 shares of West One Bancorp common stock.

On April 15, 1994, West One Bancorp acquired ten Far West Federal Savings Bank
branches in Oregon from the Resolution Trust Corporation.  The transaction
included the receipt of $160 million in cash, $2 million of premises and
equipment, $11 million of intangible assets and the assumption of $173 million
of deposits and other liabilities.  The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase.

OTHER EVENTS
- ------------

During the third quarter of 1995, West One called and redeemed outstanding
7.75% convertible subordinated debentures due 2006 with $77 million of
treasury stock purchased during the second quarter of 1995.

In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights" which becomes effective in 1996.  During the first quarter
of 1995, West One implemented SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," SFAS No. 116, "Accounting for Contributions Received
and Contributions Made" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures."  None of these
statements have had or is expected to have a material effect on West One's
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
