Paple of Estacada and vficinijty

when he went to Portland with hia
wife and baby last Friday a week
ago, the specialist had him go to the
hospital. Burton Taylor Moore was
born March 23, 1892, in Smith Falls.

British Motor Shares Heavy
British motor shares reflect no ma
terially improved Outlook for. the auto
motive industry as a result of the mo
tor show recently held in Olympia,
says Commercial Attache Walter S.
Tower in a report of the Automotive
Division" of the Department of Com
merce. Out of nine active and repre
sentative motor and cycle shares quot
ed on the Birmingham exchange, five
showed no change during the show
period. Two showed a slight increase.
two showed a decline of .3 shares as
the Austin, S. T. D., Humber, Napiers,
Rolls Royce, Harper Bean, and Stand
ard could safely be taken as represen
tative of the outlook. Evidently the
effect of the past year's poor business
and the recent price cuts which were
necessary to meet competition and
encourage buyers has been too great
to allow the orders taken at the show
to be reflected in the quotations.
Motor Boat Market Good
Naples might prove a very fair mar
ket for American-built, small boats
if it is properly developed. There
are at present many row boats and
sail boats for pleasure and a fairly
large number of speed boats are own
ed by wealthy residents. Owing to
the fact that many row boats are
used for fishing purposes, there is a
good market for outboard motors. At
present, such motors are quite popu
lar, and their use is increasing, ac
cording to a report from Consul Hom
er M. Byington, Naples.
Automotive Exports Increase

during October reached the total val

Prague giving the number of motor
driven vehicles belonging to private
individuals that have been registered
in the police district of Greater Pra
gue. This number is exclusive ol
those in the service of the govern
ment. There are also 286 passenger
cars and 115 motorcycles held in
stock by manufacturers and dealers.
10,000 Cars in Belfast
The 10.000 cars in the city of Belfast
show that there are more cars in this
city than in any other in the United
Kingdom of the same size and com
mercial importance. Within the past
nine months, 1,246 motor vehicles
have been registered. The wholesale
price of petrol is, however, higher
than some parts of the United King
dom, Vice Consul George H. Barring
er reports to the Department of Com
merce.
16,000 Vehicles in NeW Brunswick
There are approximately 16,000 mo
tor vehicles registered ia the Province
of New Brunswick, says Vice Consul
F. C. Johnson, which returns are quite
satisfactory, and are indicative of
general prosperity. The statistics
show an increase of about 2,000 over
the year 1921, notwithstanding that
prices for crops had fallen and in cer
tain districts many farmers discon
tinued the operation of their cars.
This registration shows that about
one out of every 10 families owns a
car, and this fact promises a good
market for automotive trade. Motor
trucks are also increasing in use,
there being registered about 950 for
the year 1922; the same holds true
for motorcycles, 99 being registered
up to date.
French Foreign Trade
Imports of foreign motorcycles for
the first nine months of 1922 were
valued at 2,3388,000 francs as compar
ed to 2,047,000 francs for the same
period in 1921, according to "La Jour
nee Induaftrielle" Jof lovemjher 5-6.
Exports of the same during the first
eight months of 1922, amounted to 3,
01900 francs as against 7,270,000
francs for the same period last year.
The comparative figures 1 for weights
in this class were 116.1 tons for this
year as against 279.7 for 1921. The
exports of aeroplanes and hydroplanes ,'
for the same period show a serious
diminution from the corresponding
period of 1921. Of the first class
493.7 tons valued at 13,157,000 francs
were exported as compared to 1,115.6
tons valued at 28,615,000 francs dur
ing the previous year. Exports of hy
droplanes were 15.6 tons valued at
459,000 francs and 26.3 tons valued at
775,000 francs during the first eight
months of 1922 and 1921, respectively.
