OUTLOOK FOR YEAR BRIGHT Business Increase Made in the Face of a Financial Crisis All Eastern Cities Fall Behind In Cash Ke " turns News of Waterfront. Customs receipts for the Port of Portland for the seven months ending January 31 are J77.0OO in excess of the receipts for the corresponding period of last year. The total receipts for the seven months of the fiscal year of 1906-7 amounted to $55:1,000, as com pared with $610,000 for the same period In the season of 1907-8. This remark able increase was made in the face of the recent financial stringency. The total receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, amounted to $1,165,000. With the increase already In sight and the prospects for more than keeping even during the ensuing five months, the receipts for the fiscal year of 1907-8 will be considerably In excess of $100,000 for the year. Reports from the Eastern center show, a heavy falling oft in Customs receipts. This is largely due to the financial condition of the country. At Portland, however, this state of affairs was reversed, and the receipts from duties continued to increase. More ce ment is en route for the Columbia Riv er at the present time than ever before in the history of the port. The dutie on the building material will increase from $160,000 to close to $00,000. Grain-bags and fancy crockery are being ordered in much larger quanti ties than ever before. The Immense nop of wheat in the Northwest during the past season lias cut down Hie vis ible supply of grain-bags to such an extent that new ones must be secured. The rrice of manufactured and crude Jute has dropped and importers are ordering heavier on that account. The firecracker season is near, and within the next three months the duties on these explosives will run well up toward $150,000.

The United States Engi neers' office was appealed to in an effort to have the Government blow out the ice. Such measures were not necessary, however, as the Chinook which blew up Monday afternoon did the work for them. Snake River has been closed for sev eral days on account of the ice. The boats are at Kiparla and will continue in service. As soon as' the ice clears out they will go for grain cargoes. SEALING CASE IS OX TRIAL Schooner Carlotta G. Cox Before the Admiralty Court.

Rcngellnk, an able seaman, ran out of the forecastle and jumped overboard. The weather was pleasant with no sea running and although two lifebuoys were quickly thrown to him, Bengelink made no attempt to reach them, and before a boat could reach him he had irone down. The man was demented supposedly from M heavy drinking and imagined some one was trying to harm him. The balance of the passage. Captain Dixon says, was without incident of note.

Powell, a rancher living near here, while looking for gold, found rock of sufficient size and quality within three miles of tidewater and within 14 miles of the place where the jetty work is to be done.

DAY SET FOR PLANTING Festival Association Has Selected Washington's Birthday and All School Children of City Will .Be Asked to Participate. Three thousand six hundred rose bushes had been offered the special rose-planting committee of the Portland Rose Festival Association up to last night. These and about 1500 more that will be needed will be set out on the official "rose planting" day, which the Festival committee de cided by unanimous vote, yesterday after noon, should be Washington's birthday, February 22. Dr. Emmet Drake, chairman of this committee, with several other members, has conducted a thorough canvass in the residence district of the city, both on the West and East Sides. ' While he has not been able to cover anywhere near the whole ground, he is confident that his committee will have no trouble to secure the additional sets that will be required to transform the three Plaza blocks into rose gardens. The Rose Festival people have realized the wisdom of the Park Board in separat ing the three blocks wh'ieh are to be devoted to rose culture, because this plan will have a tendency to attract visitors to widely scattered portions of the city. At the same time a substantial showing may be made in the space alloted for setting out the roses. Members of the City Council have notified the Festival Association that they are heartily in sympathy with the movement to erect an "arch of welcome" at the Union Depot, several of the City Fathers having expressed their approval In writing. The matter will come up for final settlement at the meeting of the Council, next Wednesday afternoon, . and so far as has been learned, no opposi tion will be made to the appropriation of $2500 which' is desired for this improve ment.

This connection will be completed, it is believed, within a few weeks. Representatives of the Schwartzchild & Sulzberger interests are said to be planning the erection of a big slaughtering and packing plant in Portland, but they decline to confirm this report.

If you are in need of the services of a competent and relia ble Specialist, why not In the very beginning consult a Specialist whom you KNOW, from his permanently and long-established repu tation, to be the best, and Is also legally as well as professionally qualified to practice medicine.
