Population Possibilities The housing committee of the lave Wires of the Commercial club is again in motion, this time in a more definite way, and there appears to be a strong probabil ity that the outcome will be the actual construction of homes in Oregon City and an ultimate solution of the housing problem. The committee has $17,000 sub scribed, and is asking for a total of $26,000 before starting operations, and as scores of business and pro fessional men and property owners have not subscribed a dollar to date, it may reasonably be expected that the money will be forthcoming to guarantee the start of the plan. The committee is entitled to high commendation from the people of the city for its efforts. The mem bers have worked faithfully, with a broad view to the future of Oregon City, and they are rightfully entitled to the cooperation and support of not only the Com mercial club but of the citizens generally. If our information is correct, and we believe it is, Oregon Gty is going to suffer a disappointment from its federal census enumeration. On the basis of the school enumeration here, we ought to have a popula tion of in excess of 7,000 in the city limits, but if the government census shows better than 6,500 we shall be surprised. The suggestion that Oregon City may have a popu lation of 25,000 within a few years is no idle dream. It is altogether practicable. When manufacturing con cerns are forced to build hotels to house their employes and to establish branch factories in a near-by city, it is easily discernable that we are industrially top-heavy, and that the building of houses has not kept pace with out commercial expansion. It is high time we woke up. most of the ranchers are Inclined to kxk upon the bright side of life, and to "ciuher up the sunbeams as around our path they He." EAST FOR RESIDENCE MEADOWBROOK.

The former head ot the famous Na tional City bank of New York, added that America can easily undertake the work of rehabilitation. The first step, ho said, was the most Important (hough H need not be a lurge one "A billion dollars will go a very long way," Vanderllp said, "In start ing Europe on Its way to production, Hut It must be a billion dollars sMtnt for food and raw materials. It musn't be a billion dollars spent on any financial rehabilitation. "This g the first move necessary to help the exchange rates recover. The present decline In exchange tends now to halt our exports. It Is conceivable the halt might occur very sharply. To a considerable ex tent ships are now going to Europe wlthut full cargoes. "Last year we exported $S,000,000, 000 worth of goods, and the trade balance In our favor was M,000,000,- 000. In pre-war days a trade balance of $000,000,000 for us wag about tho top figure, These figures Indicate that If the halting our export gets far enough It will result in a Jar that win pile up cotton, agricultural products and, to some extent, manufacture;! goods, "I do not helieve such a situation would result In any serious unem ployment fqr us.

ROBEY Hey, what do you know about this? The Molalla high school basket bnll team wants In on the state champion ship high school contest to be held at Eugene some time this month. The Molalla teum has never been beaten, and Its manager, Gordon Taylor, claims that there is not a high school teem in. tho state that can do 11 either. For a town of Its size, Molalla cor tnfnly done Itself proud thlg year in producing such a basketball aggre gation as tho hlgb mJiool boasts at present. Not only is the team strong, but some of the players are certainly wizards at the gamo. They have cleaned np everything In this neck of the woods, and have challenged the best hitib school team In Portland for a game. They ought to get It too. It the Molalla team goes to Eugene ' to enter the state high school cham pionship contest, we venture to pre diet that they will "eat 'em up," and are f sura
