» FLORENCE SINCE JAN. I
More Than Twenty New Residences
Have Been Finished or Started
Since First of the Year.
Florence, located as it is, and
much of the property covered
with small pine trees, huckle ber
ry bushes, and rhododendraa can
be having considerable improve
ment going on in the residence
section without much notice be
ing taken. Handsome bungalows
and cottages are hidden among
the evergreens, making cosy and
enjoyable homes for the owners.
A canvas of the town brings
to light that about twenty homes
have been completed or are now
under construction, representing
an improvement valuation of
over $30,000. This represents
a good healthy growth and indi
cates that there are people who i
are quietly expressing their faith
in the future of Florence by in
vesting their capital in homes.

Why
this tali' about hard times being produce^ by.
the wah now going on in Europe. While it is a recog
nized fact that in some lines of business a loss will re
sult,and^in many a readjustment must take place, yet the
general trend should te of benefit and should create a
more prosperous condition. Already some lines of in
dustry have received an impetuous that predicts this.
At Coos Bay the announcement has been made that the
first order for 250 tons of pulp has been placed with the
Coos Bay pulp mill and that inquiries have been pour
ing in thick and fast the last few days.
This is a direct result of the European war, as much
of the pulp is produced in Finland, Sweedeh and other
sections of Europe and with the present condition of
Atlantic shipping it means that the American and Jap
anese and Chinese paper mills must seek elsewhere for
their pulp supply. Just now they are turning to Coos
Bay and it is not unlikely that the. big mill will soon be
running double shift to supply the demand.
In the matter of labor it stands to reason that if the
the world war is prolonged, and reservists continue to
return to their native countries to serve in the armies,
a demand will be created that will ofset to an extent
the difficulty in this country.
Financial authorities say there is no reason that hard
times should prevail and A. L. Mills, president of the
hirst National Bank, of Portland, and the Clearing
House Association, and a member of the reserve board,,
in an address to 300 business men gathered in Portland
Friday night, among other things remarked:
. ’’That there would never be another panic such as that
of 1893, and he told why there should not be, announc
ing in tones that carried conviction that the coutry finan
ces had never been on a sounder basis.
“America hits two a/id one-half times as much gold on
hand as any other country m the world. America has
parted with $148,000,000 in the last five months,’ and
could part with another hundred millions without notic
ing it.

“ Europe would have to have our crops and Europe
would have to pay for them. England had already
guaranteed them safe transportation. The recent cur
rency bill has provided Portland with $1LOGO,000—
$11,000,000 on which she may never have to draw.
We should combat with all the power within us the
dismal croakings of the conf-rmed pessimist, who, when
ever there is the’ smallest cloud in the sky, believes the
sun will never shine again. Such calamity howlers are
a pest in society, of value neither to themselves or to
others, but rather are a drag upon the wheels of our na
tion. There should not be even standing room for the
pessimist in this great country of ours.
“In the meantime, however, for the next two or three
weeks there will be unrest, and fear and excitement.
It therefore devolves upon us all to practice and main
tain our courage, for there is nothing to fear in the fu
ture.
“In conclusion, let me beg of you to be of good cheer.
Firiancial conditions are sound and will remain so. The c
prospects fora period of prosperity in the near future
are bright. ”
t
Locally the conditions in the western part of Lane
county is shown by the financial report of our one bank
to be above other communities with about the same
population and territory.

New York, Aug. 21.—The German army in its forward movement

with very little resistance. The German troops are encamped out-
side the city and will continue on toward Antwerp, which is in a
state of seige. The allies are massed in force south of Waterloo
where it is expected the greatest battle in worlds history will occur.
The battle line extends eastward through Alsacdand Lorane where
the French are forcing the Kaiser’s warriors back on Strasburg.
