CAUFIELD PRAISES BUSINESS OUTLOOK BANKER DECLARES FINANCIERS HAVE CONFIDENCE IN PRE8IDENT PANAMA CANAL AN AMAZING WORK Eait and South are Laued but Trav eler Declare Oregon I -Beet Stat, of All "BiihIiu'hs condition In all parts of the I'nlted Ktntes 1 vlnlted were about all thnt could bo expected", said Charles II. Caufleld, President of tho Kit ilk of Oregon City, who with Mrs. Cauflold, returned Haturdoy night from a trip through the East, Middle West, Houth, Cuba, Canada and Panama. "Tlie bitnlucHs men and llnaiiiiiTH, no far a I could learn, do not expect a financial de pression during tho WHkoii adminis tration. As a matter of fact they re gard tho new President as a safe man and .believe he will make a great chief executive. Of course they real ize he lacks experience, but a man of the ability he has shown. It s be lieved, will make few mistakea." Mr. Caufleld himself Is optimistic regarding conditions and believes tbe country is on the eve of an era of great prosperity. It was his first extended trip outside of Oregon, and, although glad to get borne, he pays glowing tributes to the Eat and South. "We left here February 2," said Mr. Caufleld, "and we have been on tho go ever since. We went to New Orleans first and bad a line time there. The Southern metropolis Is a great city, and Is growing rapid!. Then we went to Panama and look ed over the canal. It Is a great work, and I believe will be finished sooner than toe published reports indicate. There, however, 1 a great deal of work to be done. "From Panama we went to Santia go, Cuba. We went up San Juan hill and saw where Ex-President Itoosevelt led hi men to victory. Santiago I beautifully located and the harbor la one of tbe finest I ever aaw. From there we went to Ha vana, which 1 a beautiful place. The only trouble we experienced in Cuba was that we coulS not converse with many persons because we were not fluent speakers of Spanish. However, we managed to get along all right. From Havana we returned to New Orleans and from there went by pill to Washington. Tbe capital is a beautiful city. New York and Phil adelphia, of course, impressed us, and we enjoyed our visit in Boston. From Boston we went to Mbntreal and To ronto, then to Buffalo to see Nlagra Fall and then to Chicago, returning home by way of Seattle. "Although we had a great trip and liked all the place visited there Is no country lilfe Oregon. I am glad to be home." HAZING IMPERILS LIFE OF HILLWORKER Joe Cxarneckl. a lG-year-old boy, employed by the Oregon City Monu facturlng Company, received a severe beating at tbe bands of a number of his fellow employes Thursday after noon. Czarueckl, who is a. young Bohemian, had just been given a p"0- motlon and it is alleged that the six boys who attacked him were jealous The boy was much bruised about the chest and abdomen. Dr. C. H. Melss ner was summoned and removed the boy to his home at Mount Pleasant. Dr. Meissner stated Friday night that no bones were broken. It was said that two of the boy connected with the hazing were James Lungan and Walter Newman. Potato markets along the coast are showing further declines in price and the outlook Is worse than before, if such a condition is possible. At Son Francisco. Oregon Bur banks have dropped down to 6j c per cental for best offerings, and little of the business is available even at this figure. River stock is selling there down to 35c per cental, the lowest price ever known for similar quality. At Puget Sound points TTie market has become so clogged with offerings that It is impossible to sell more than a small per cent of the arriv als even at 55 and 56c per cental. Locally the situation is even worse than at other points along the coast owing to the entire absence of an outlet. California does not waut Ore gon supplle because there are more holding there than the trade can take care of. Arizona and Texas rae able to buy potatoes closer at home at lower prices than Pacific northwest stock can be landed there, therefore, none of this business is offering. This la the first year known that no business baa been possible with the southwest. EGGS ARE UP. Eggs have had a shadp rise In the local market within the last few day. This Is due, according to local author ities, to the fact that one of the large Portland commission houses contracted to ship six carloads ot them. They did not have 'this Im mense quantity and have been forced to buy all over the Northwest, with the result that the price has risen accordingly. It is thought that they will fall in a week or two. tr so. Ret a box of Dr. King' New Life Pills, take them regularly and yonr trouble will quickly disappear.

SEEDS FRESH UTAH LAND PLASTER CSKS APPLE DEALERS Action calculated to relieve the Portland market of its apple surplus and make room for the new spring fruit 1 now well under way, and some of tbe wholesalers expect with in tbe nett week or two to have their store and warehouse stock so far reduced that tbe apple market thereafter will be no cause for appre hension. A feature of the trade was tbe sale by one of the jobber ot 500 boxes of tbe fruit at 35 cent a box. The fruit in question graded as com mon to fair and were about such a usually sell at 65 to 85 cents a box at this time of the year. The sale was made solely with a view to clean ing up stocks, and though the price obtained meant a loss to the grower It was counted better than keeping the fruit and dumping it later. Tbe dealer who made the sale said: "The unfortunate feature of the apple market throughout the season has been tbe immense over-Btock of trash apples that at the best could not grade above common, and which should have been converted into ci der in the orchard or fed to hogs. Had tbe grower kept this stock back, or the greater part of It, and sent to the Portland market a 'fair proportion of their best offerings, with the understanding that they were to be sold at prices In line with those obtainable this season In the Eastern centers, the local market would have taken care of Itself much better than it has done and the pro ducers would have .unquestionably profited by such a policy. "Instead ot doing this, the organ ized growers, at Hood River and else where, at the opening of the season adopted the mistaken policy of send ing the finest of their products to the Eastern and foreign markets, while ruinously low prices have been the rule for months, and giving us the refuse. This they have done, and to make the situation worse they have in many case insisted that the poor to medium grade apples sent to Portland be sold at prices that could not by any means have been obtain ed in the East" HOP MARKET QUIET BUT HAS FIRM TONE The hop market is quiet but very firm. For medium grade buyers con tinue to offer 15 cents freely. This is the only quality that is being of fered at all In the Willamette Valley. Tbe latter grade of goods is not on the market at all. In comparison with mediums the best stock should be worth around 20c a pound, but buyers are unwilling to offer this fig ure. . Business of late in the hop trade has been confined almost exclusively to the lower grade quality. Brewers need the hops badly and are there fore willing to take anything they can get at present values. With the consumption of beef showing another big increase, the likelihood of an ex treme shortage in brewers' stocks be fore the next crop is available is very strong. Contracts are moving slowly at 15c a pound, owing to the inability of buyers to secure a greater vol ume. There Is plenty of business available for contracts at this figure and the probable output ot 1913 could likely be cleaned up at this figure within a very short time. VEGETABLES HOT HURT The snow storm in Oregon City and vicinity Wednesday morning did no damage. The thermometer did not reach the freezing point along the lower stretches near the river. On the hills back from the river there was aa slight freeze, but it is not thought that any appreciable dam' age has been done to fruit tree and spring vegetables which the warm weather of several week ago started well Into bud. Although Oregon City has had a few snow storms in March, they usually do very little damage on account of the high temperatures which cause the snow to fast disap pear. 4 Couple Get License. Licenses to marry were issued Tuesday to Alma Donahue and W. C. Schlmmel, of Woodburn; Genevieve Kelley and Lloyd Bernler, of Oregon Ctty; Arilla Grace Knickerbocker and Ralph Myrtl. Lakin, of Mllwau kle, and Ellen C. Moehnke and Otto Llman, of Oregon City. Oregon City, Oregon EFFORTS HADE TO E Strong efforts are being made by some dealers to force the price of hops lower so they can secure spot goods aud contracts for less money. Spot holders never were firmer in their views than at the present time and all efforts to secure the better grade at any price, have completely failed. It is to shake out there hold ers tiiat dealers are starting tbe agi tation for lower prices. So far as contracts are concern ed the market is holding steady, al though dull at 15c a pound.

Beatie, of the Oregon Com mission Company, say that the low pices of potatoes that now prevails in Oregon, is partially due to the fact that the potatoes from all parts of the state are badly affected with blight. For this reason, he stales, the farmers in California and other states are afraid to buy ' them for planting. He' says that if the farm ers are not careful next year to dip all their potatoes which they use for planting, the entire crop will again be affected with the blight and the price of that commodity will be low again next year.
