COUNCIL MEETS
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
AH members were presortt at
the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evoning, with
Mayor Vincont presiding.
A communication from the
Underwriters' Equitable Rating
Bureau, in reply to a letter of
inquiry by the city recorder,
stated Unit n committee would
make an inspection of the fire
fighting apparatus and general
conditions in St. Johns, and re
rating made if the committeo
found conditions satisfactory.
Alderman Gradon of the wnter
and light committee recommend
ed the installation of an arc Unlit
at the intersection of Midway
and! Armor streets, and a fire
hydrant St. Johns avenue and
Chapel street. As there were
several other prospective lights
to be investigated, the commit
tee was given more time to make
a more complete report.
A telephone was ordered in
stalled in the room of the paid
firemen, to be placed at once,
on motion of Alderman Munson.
Bills amounting to $172.50
wero allowed. J. T. Muycs prcs-.
cnted a claim to the mayor for
$40 as payment for four stands
of bees which wore burned in a
weed fire. The matter was held
over for further investigation.
The engineer wns instructed
to again notify Contractor Hahn
to remedy defects in tho North
Kellogg street sidewalk, and also
to proceed with tho sidewalking
of Willamette boulevard.
A resolution providing for
changing the grado of Charles
ton street between Hayes and
Willamotto boulevard was adopt
ed on a four to three vote.
Alderman Gradon stated that
ho had been informed that there
was a dead end of water main
on Tyler street that needed flush
ing badly, and the water and
light committee was directed to
enmmunicato the fact to tho
Water Company.
Burglary Sunday
The home of John N. Edlefcn
on Willamotto boulevard was
burglarized in a bold and yet
mysterious manner Sunday after
noon, in which $30 was stolen.
Mr. Edlefsen loft the house
about one o'clock in tho after
noon; Miss Lucile Whelnn left
about 3 o'clock, and tho young
woman who has charge of tho
housework loft about half an
Hour later, locking nil tho doors
carefully beforo departing, Tho
screens on tho windows wero
also locked. Miss Whelan re
turned at about half past four
and. found tho house locked, so
she waited on tho housokooper.
When she arrived a littlo later
they opened the door and wont
in. On tho floor they found a
purso owned by Miss Whelan
wide open and empty. Going
through tho house thoy found
bureau drawers open, trunk open
and contents scattered around
and: even a mattress overturned.
A phono message was sent for
Mr. Edlefsen, who promptly re
turned. It was discovered that
$15' had been secured from tho
trunk of tho housekeeper. $10
from tho purse of Miss Whelan
and $5 from the coat pocket of
Mr. Edlefsen, which he had
neglected to take with him. A
gold-ring of Mr. Edlefsen's lying
on a bureau was undisturbed
and' no other valuables were
taken so far as- could be ascer
tained. The mystery lies in
how tho robber effected entrance
into the dwelling, as every door
was securely locked, and the
locks are of a peculiar pattern
so that an ordinary or skeleton
key could not be used to open
the locks, and the windows were
all securely fastened. How
ever entrance was effected, it
would seem that the burglar
watched the movements of the
inmates of the house and boldly
entered in some manner when
the coast- was clear. None of
the neighbors noticed any one
around the house during the
hour or more when the burglary
must have taken place. No
clue to the perpetrator has been
unearthed by the police so far.

Land Products Show
It BceniB almost a settled fact
that the forthcoming Manu
facturers' and Land Products
Show, which will be held in
Portland in tho Armory, and
temporary buildings erected
around the Bame, from October
2Cth to November 14, 1914,
will be successful. Many new
features will bo introduced at
this cxposilon. . Among them
will be an electrically operated
farm, the concewtion of. and nut
on by the Portland, Railway.
Light & Power company, and
affiliated electrical concerns, oc
cupying a total of fifteen hun
dred square feet of space.
A great deal can be done in
the wny of showing what use
and benefits electricity on the
farm can be. in a space of 30x00.
As an illustration, tho plant com
bines tho uses of electricity in
dairy work, such as milking tho
cows, operating tho cream sepa
rators, cutting ensilage for the
cattle, churning and everything
pertaining to dairy work on the
farm, and all operated by elec
tricity. Even the home of tho
farmer will illustrate the ubo of
electricity lor lighting, electric
ally operated sewing machines,
washing machines, vacuum clean
er, cooling plants, electric iron
ing outfits and everything that
goes to mako life happy and moro
easy for tho farmer's wife.
Another novelty will be that
of a miniature irrigated farm,
to be shown by tho Union Mcnt
Company of Portland. Not only
will tho better methods of ir
rigation be demonstrated, but
tho proper fertilizing methods
will occupj a large portion in
this diBn ay. Tho Union Meat
Comnnny has enlisted tho co
operation of tho Oregon Agricul
tural College at Corvnllis, through
its farm extension experts, and
also of tho scenic artists who
designed many of tho floats for
tho recent Rose Festival.
Tho comb nation of real grow
ing-grains, forage, littlo trees,
etc., together with tho beauties
of Mt. Hood and the country be
hind tho farm, through scenic
work, should produce a result
both attractive and commanding
attention from tho visitors'.
In addition to the Land Pro
ducts Show and tho articles
manufactured in Oregon, there
will bo other attractions, such
as snlendid band concerts, a
"Better Bnbies" show also an
"old fashioned pretty baby
show," special days and nights
arranged for by scores of prom
inent organisations and clubs or
Portland, several big sensational
and interesting vaudeville acts,
woman's auxi ary. and many
other features, which will un
doubtedly repay the expenditure
of 25 cents admission fee.
Death of Mrs. Kemp
Mrs. Rachel Kemn died at her

A FINE ADDRESS
Something That Should
Ik Read by All
The article below is n speech
mado by A. L. Mills, president
of the First National bank, Port
land, delivered nt the 'banquet
tendered to visiting buyers by
the jobbers and manufacturers
of Portland August 14th. Mr
Mills is moro familiar and con
versant with financial conditions
than possibly any other man in
tho Northwest, and therefore his
remark can bo relied upon. The
speech is somewhat lengthy, but
our readers will find it interest
ing. It deals entirely with the
present financial situation:
On Wednesday your committee
honored me with an invitation
to speak to you tonight on tho
existing nnd future conditions
in the United States.
There is not time tonight, nor
perhaps is there inclination on
your part, to listen to an ex
haustive economic discussion of
American finance; nt best, only
the most striking features of tho
situation can bo touched upon.
Certain facts- and beyond pcr-
adventure the most important
ones in'tho consideration of our
present financial conditions,
which must be indelibly im
pressed upon the mind of every
business man in these United
States, arc-
First That financial condi
tions in our country today are
sound, and at no time since our
government was established
wero thoy over in a sounder con
dition than they arc at this mo
ment.
Second (and let this sink deep
into yourundcrstanding) There
is absolutely no danger today of
n financial panic sweeping across
this country such as all of us
have seen in times gbno by, nor,
indeed, shall you or I over again
witness in this country such
panic conditions as prevailed in
1907 or 1893 or, indeed, in other
panic years. Theso are cold,
hard facts and not the rosy
dreams of some visionary stu
dent of political economy; facta
that aro established truths in
tho minds of financiers of estab
lished reputation, nnd facts that
should and must bo equnlly well
established in your mind und
in tho mind of every business
man in theso United Statos.
Let mo repeat thorn, for thoy
cannot be reiterated too often:
First: ThesoUnitcd States wore
nevor in a sounder financial con
dition than they aro today.
Second: Thero is no danger of
financial panic today nor shall
wo over again see such panics as
wo haVo in tho past
Take theso statements of facts
homo with you, mull over them,
mako them a part and parcel of
your daily financial creed, and
then join with other loyal patri
otic citizens in preaching to your
neighbors the gospel of faith in
our country's institutions and
tho absolute soundness of its
present financial system.
Aye, this and more, you and I
and all of us should do combat
with all the power and forcothat
is within us the dismal croak
ings of tho confirmed pessimist
who, whenever thero is the
smallest cloud in the sky, be
lieves that the sun will never
bhino again. Such calamity
howlers are pests in society, of
value neither to themselves nor
to others, but rather they are
drag upon the wheels of our na
tion's progress.
Pardon this disgression, but
there should not be even stand
ing room for the pessimist in
this great country of ours.
To return to our subject why
should the best financial minds
in our country believe financial
conditions never sounder than
they are today?
First :Because in these United
States there are one billion, five
hundred million dollar? of gold,
a supply, roughly two and a half
times greater than that of any
other country; an amount more
than sufficient to transact the
business of this country; when
treated scientifically as a reserve
against currency issues it is
sufficient to carry a burden of
currency fifty times greater
than we now have, without en
dangering our maintenance of' a
gold standard. Take for ex
ample the panic of 1907, when
England had but four hundred
millions of gold; and yet so per
fect was England's financial sys
tem that it parted with one-half
of this supply to this country
without shaking tho financial
fabric of Groat Britnin. Our sup
ply of gold today is nearly four
times larger than that of Groat
Britinn in 1907, nnd should with
ease carry all the burdens of
commerce that may be put upon
Second: The strength of our
financial system today is shown
hv tho onso with which we Dart
ed with one hundred millions of
gold in the first five months of
this year nnd forty-eight mil
lions more during the month of
July, without disturbing one
iota our finances. At no pro
vlmiK rintn in tho hifitorv of our
country have wo exported a like
amount of gold in so short a
time; to have done so in years
gone by would have rocked
every financial institution in tho
country to its foundational and
probably brought ruin to m any.
Today not one has beon dis urb
ed by such hoavy cxportati n of
the precious metai; nny more,
financial lenderaisuy so good and
sound is our condition tha an
other one hundred! millions could
huvc gone' abrond' without ' per
ceptibly affecting condition r.
Third: Because tho New
York Stock Exchange, againBt
which so manv of our neon e ox-
claim, wns kept open for days
nftor ovnrv organized stock ex
change in tho world had closed;
yet by so doing wns ablo to ab
sorb, without panic or disaster,
the immense flood of securities
poured upon us by tho panic
stricken peoples of Europe.
Such stability of our financial in
stitutions, for in the end tho
burden was cast upon them,
makes it but a question of a few
years before Now York becomes
tho recognized linanciai center 01
the world,
Fourth: Because today wo
huvo established in this country,
nnd soon to bo in full operation,
a scientific financial system that
is canablo of withstanding nny
strain or stress that may bo
brought upon it.
Those aro tho reasons i wny

QAttnrlnH titan a 4 A 1 CI r
l.nfc mn rnnnnf: thnm.. fnr motf
aro wortli remembering:
First: One billion, fivd hun
dred million of gold on hand in
theso united states, an am-
mount onnnhln of niinnnrtincr u
currency system fifty times, at
least, greater than now is car
ried.
Second: Tho case with which
wo withstood a drain within six
months, of one hundred and
fOrty-oight millions of gold
tho ability to withstand a
ther drain of one hundred
and
lions.
Third: Tho remarkable
strength of tho Now York Stock
Exchange to absorb vast quanti
ties of our securities without
making any perceptible strain
upon our financial institutions.
Fourth; Tho establishment
of a scientific and economic sys
tem, tho equal of any in tho
world. Theso aro tho reasons
why financial conditions aro
sound todny in this country.
Practical economists believe m
them, and it but remains to
drive this boliof homo to overy
business man in the country, to
still forever the pessimist who
now coes un and down tho land
mournfully croaking about im
pending panics and by so doing
disturbing business and spread
ing unrest wherever he goes.
After what has just been
said, do you ask further why
there is no danger of finnncial
panic today, and why we shall
never again have such a ono as
wo have experienced in the past.'
It needs but a word in ans
wer; due in the first place to tho
work done by the Aldrich Cur
rency Commission and, later, to
thecrystalizationof that work in
tho Federal Reserve Act, we
have now a sound economic sys
tem that makes any serious
financial panic an utter impos
sibility. Tight money we may
have in future, commercial de
nressions we must and shall have
whenever speculation exceeds
the bounds of prudence, but
financial panics never again.
So much for the financial con
ditions of the present and the
future. Wero there time, 1
should like full well to go into
the details of the Federal Re
serve Act by which sound finan
cial conditions are assured to us,
but I must omit doing so as, be
fore closing, I wish to say a
word or two concerning our local
conditions and how I believe the
European war will effect busi
ness interests in the northwest.
Wo are now harvesting one
of tho most bountiful crops with
which the northwest was ever
blessed; a cr6p that Europe and
psrmciallv Encrland must have in
order that their peoples shall not
starve. This crop thoy must
pay for no matter what the cost
may be. England appreciated
this fact nnd is bending every
effort to compass its safe trans-
K)rtntion. Tho British Govern
ment itself has announced that ,
it will insure the shipper and
owner against any loss occasion
ed by tho European war, and it
but remains for our interna
tional bankers to perfect ar
rangements for negotiating the
bills of exchange drawn against '
these cargoes so tiint they may
be converted into cash in New
York. This I firmly believe will
be consummated within the next
two or three weeks. When ac
complished, tho question of ox
porting our grain is solved, and
with the solution, will come a
flow of English gold to our coun
try in greater volume than we
have ever witnessed before a
volume so groat as to materially
stimulate overy business enter
prise within this country.
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
patienco and maintain our cour
age, for there is nothing to fear
in tho future. What is true of
our wheat crop is true in like
measure to our meat, hogs and
other products.
Your gr.ouchy pessimist, ever
seeking for fresh causes to whine
about, is going up and down our
streets saying "doubtless it may
bo truo that Europe needs our
crops, but nevertheless if they
cannot be shipped in safety from
our ports they are of no value
to us." This is utterly false, as
I havo attempted to show you,
for England must havo our grain
and is prcpnrcd to pay tho price
and bear tho burden of tho war
risks. That England is amply
able to do this is shown by tho
fact that when tho European
war first broke out, as u first
protection againBt a business
excitement, tho Bank of Eng
land raised its rate of discount
to eight and then to ten per
cent, and declared a fow days
bank holiday. When it was
seen by tho English financiers
thjit thero was no need for un
due alarm, the Bank of Eng
land's rato of discount fell rapid
ly to six per cent: nnd then to
five per cent. This rate, al
though somowhat higher than
normal, is not an unusual ono nt
this timo of year, nor ono that is
in any way a bar to commercial
transactions. It means that the
merchants and bankers of Lon
don, of worthy standing, can
discount their pnpor and their
commodity bills nt reasonable
rates of interest. Such being
tho ense, and with transportation
rendered safe, there is practical
ly nothing to hinder our exports
freely going abroad. I con
fidently bcliove that within a
month our foreign export trado
will again bo on a comparatively
normal basis, or at loast on such
a basiB as will permit foreign
business to bo transacted by this
country at a handsomo profit.
In tho meantime wo bankers
havo beforo us a few weeks of
somewhat difficult financing.
Harvest hands in the fields must
bo pnid in cash and also tho cost
of transporting our crops to tho
seaboard. It can bo done and
will bo done with comparative
ease if the business people of
tho country havo faith in our in
stitutions, supplemented by u
moderate amount of patience.
If. howover. tho business men
of tho country, such as I see be
fore me now. become excited
and each man endeavors to rush
in ahead of his neighbor, force
collections and grab all that is in
sight, the situation will become
more complicated. Even then,
and in spite of fools nnd alarm
ists, tho banks of tho country
will bo able to finance tho har
vests and within a short timo
mako possible bountiful returns
for our crops.
In 1907, I should not have
dared to have spoken so con
fident y concerning the situation.
as at that time we were labor
ing under an antiquated and
archaic system of finance that
was utterly incapable of expanding-with
the needs of commerce.
Thanks, howcver.to the Aldrich-
yreeland Currency Bill that was
passed in 1908 and extended by
the present Congress, it becomes
nossible for the banks of the
country to join together in Cur
rency Association and obtain is
sues of currency for which
Uncle Sam acts as tho redemp
tion agent. Tho limit of this
currency was first put at five
hundred millions, but within tho
nast few davB this limit has
been taken oft and tho Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo.

allow this issue to be put out in

an unlimited amount. Such Cur
rency Associations havo been
formed in New York and Chi
cago und, I believe in other largo
centers. Already the strain up
on the financial institutions of
those confers has been so mater
ially lessened that our recent
telegrams from those points
state that business again is

It is not believed by tho bank
ers ot Portland that it will bo
necessary to issuo nny Vreeland
curroncy in tho Northwest, sinco
our correspondents in tho east
assure us they can forward us
an amnio supply 01 currency
from their Associations without
difficulty. Nevertheless, tho
Portland Clearing House bo-
Moves it to bo the hotter part of
wisdom to perfect such an or
ganization in Oregon. To that
end tho national banks of Port
land, ussociating with them
selves n fow of tho banks of
neighboring cities, have taken
tho necessary steps for such an
organization by passing, in
their dilloront Honrds of Direc
tors, tho proper resolutions.
Tho preliminary steps have all
been tnkon and wo now but
await receipt, from tho Comp
troller of tho Currency, of tho
necessary lorms to be lined out
bofore finally completing tho
organization and making avail

ment of what, perhaps, 1 may

Incidentally, it may bo or in
terest to you to know thnt such
Currency Association must have
in it nt least ten national banks,
with a combined capital and sur
plus of at least five million
dollars. Tho proposed Portland
Assocation has a combined capi
tal and surplus of eight million,
eight hundred thousand dollars,
by reason of which we aro per
mitted to receive over eleven
million dollars of Vreeland cur
roncy for which Uncle Sam
comes tho responsible payer.
This sounds like an imincnso
amount of easy money, but nev
ertheless there aro restrictions
placed about its issuance that
prevent an unhculthy inflation,

roncy must hypothecate bonds or

tho Executive Committeo of tho
Currency Association and finally
by tho Treasurer of tho United
States. For the currency issued
to any bank in tho Association,
each und overy bank in such As

proportion to its capital and sur
plus. In addition, thero is
placed upon tho issuance of the
currency a tax at tho rato of
three per cent per annum if tho

up to six per cent per annum if
