Portland Concern May Xame Branch CENTRALIA. Wash., Feb. 28. (Spe cial.) It is probable that the Shops Concrete Block Company, ot Portland, will establish a branch factory In Cen tralis., the matter having been taken up with the Commercial Club here, "there la a great demand for building bldfjts throughout this section of the state and if the Portland concern does not ask too much in return for estab lishing a branch factory here, their of fer probably will be accepted. The only objection to the proposition Is the fact that branches have already been built In Seattle and Tacoma, and it la feared that the concern would not be able to meet the competition. Statistics now available show that tha to tal receipts of the Italian National Lottery for tho fiscal year ending Juno 80. 1810. amounted to 81".S25,802. an Increase of 8L-. 520.510 over the prevloua year, an amount never before reached during; tha 60 year slnco Its organlgatlon. Hereafter se vere tests must be ap plied to street paving before it is accepted by the city. Use bitulithic and be sure of the result. V BANK'S DEPOSITS GROW 28 PES CENT IN YEAR.
