From every source domes the en
couraging news that general business
conditions are getting better and that
the country has reached a sound ba
sis. This applies as to commodity
prices, credits, interest rates and all
of the many contributing forces upon
which stabilized business conditions
depend.
To those in the automobile industry
whose foresight can be relied upon to
the best advantage, the many price
cuts during the past twelve months are
only a means of placing the industry
in an unass-sailable position. The pub
lic demand has been for lower prices
in automobiles and in order to meet
ihis demand the manufacturers hav?
affected economies in production cf
their plants wherby such reduction
were made possible.
Industry Here To Stay
It is evident that the motor car in
dustry is here to stay, and further
that there will always be a demand
for automobiles in which price is not
the only consideration. When a man
buys a car !he is investing in trans
portation. If his pocketbook only per
mits the purchase of a low-priced car
he becomes a buyer in that particular
class. The more means he has at his
disposal the better the character of
the transportation which he will pur
I t iiai-e. l Here arfj iuusb who cau aiium
the best, and there is the vast majority
which buys automobiles in the inter
mediate classes between the lowest
priced car and the highest.
The industry cannot, however, fail
to recognize Henry Ford as the key
to the situation. His production is
nearly twice the combined output o
all other passenger and truck manu
facturers, and in addition the used car
market is directly affected by the
price of his car. The tendency very
frequently is for a mar. to buy a new
cr even slightly used Ford if the price
of the second-hand car in which he
is interested sems slihiij' too high.
Ford Is Wizard
Possibly the most interesting thing
to the far-sighted automobile manu
factiyer, and the most significant
with respect to future price reduc
tions, is the Ford balance sheet as
of June 30, and which was; hut recently
published It shows capital stock 1"
the amount of $17,264,500 and surplus
in the amount of $156,686,672. Tt:
means that Ford's working capital is
in reality almost $174,000,000 in round
figures, or ten times that of his cap
ital stock. Under the circumstances he
cou'd make 5 per cent interest on his
' capital by only earning J,& of 1 per
cent on the money actually in hsi busi
ness. His commercial mobility is
further emphasized by the fact that fc
has a actual cash in the amount of
$34 844,538 and securities of a liquid
character in the amount of $5,8C0,270
more. ' .
The foregoing figures must be given
serious consideration by those who
hope to compete in the Ford price
class. They represent such stability
and .mobility that one must acknowl
edge the importance of Ford as a basic
factor in the future of the industry.
More Declines Possible
Further declines in certain line.i of
motor cars may take plac. before the
1922 season is in full swing, but an
analysis of facts would indicate that
much declines as a general thing are
highly ( improbable!. Already prices
over the world on more than a dozen
raw materials have fallen to below
pre-war prices. One authority says
that our problem is not over-production;
it is, as it always has been, un
der consumption; aggravated today ty
national and individual indebtedness
NEWPORT, Ore:, Oct. 8. (SpeciaH.
Never has this community beim
confronted by such extraordinary cir
cumstances as the attempt of Mary
C. Wells, formerly of Oswego, to mar
ly Jchn Eond, an invalid, now unconscious,-
who is a pensioned veteran of
the Civil War and said to be a pen
sioned employe of the Southern Pacific
railroad company, having beeu a loco
moive engineer.
Mrs. Wells procured a license at
Toledo to marry Bond last Saturday
upon a medical certificate issued by
Dr. H. J. Minthorn, and called in th-,'
Rev H. R. Geil, pastor cf Newport
Presbyterian church, former pastor of
the Evangelical church at Milwaukie..
Bond Found Unconscious
Mr. Geil found Bond so unconscious
that he could not understand what
was going on. He refused to perform
the ceremony. He was aein sum
moned Tuesday and, finding the same
condition, once more refused to offi
ciate. Mrs. Wells then called upon Dr. V.
M. Berry, .local, justice of the peace,
who went tc the P.ond house only to
refuse to marry the couple when ho
perceived that the invalid was ru.-t
conscious of what was going on. Mrs.
Wells insisted that Bond was most
anxious to have her marry him, bat
Bond was too ill to verify her state
ment or understand what Dr. Berry
was trying to ascertain.'
Man Has Mucn Property
Besides his pensions. Bond has. con
siderable property. Mrs. Wells 1ms
been his housekeeper several yars
and has cared for him during a loug
spell of sickness. She has held thi;
marriage license a week without be
ing able to find anyone in authority
who is willing to' perform tbe ceremony.
Woman Known Here
Mary Wells is known here as tin
defendant in an arson case that cause I
considerable comment early in lfilG.
Mrs Wells, in .company with William
H. Newman, was indicted by the cir
cuit court grand jury, and charged
with setting fire to a building at Oswe
go, in order to secure the $14:)0 insurance.
The crime was committed ..'August
18, 1915, and the case came to trial in
February of the followng year. New
man pled guilty to having $et the fire
at Mrs. Weil's instigation, raid was
sentenced to an indeterminate term
of from three to seven years in the
state penitentiary.
Leniency Is Pies
Leniency with Mrs. wells on ac
count of her advanced age was askeJ
by her attorney, the late Walter Dirn
ickl The jury returned a verdict of
not guilty.
Shortly afterward Mrs- Wells was
sued by Attorney Dimick for attorney'
fees, but the matter was settled be
fore the case was tried. Mrs. Wells
subsequently moved to Newport. At
the time of the case she owned con
siderable property in the vicinity of
Oswego, which the tax roll still names
in her credit.
SECOND CIIY HALL.
DEAL DEFEATED AT
MEETING OF COUNCIL
Busch and Sons' Proposition
Is Refused; Argument
Is Lacking
Another deal concerning the city
hall on Main street is off
The city council, at a special ses
sion Saturday evening voted to re
ject the proposition of Busch and
Sons, asking for the privilege to siuJh
let the building. -
Busch and Son's submitted i written
proposal, asking the council's permis
sion to sublet the hall property for the
remaining two years and ten months
of their lease, to Simons and Brothtr,
ofthe Simons store. Busch asked the
use of a strip or property betwen the.
city hall 'and tbe jail as an alleyway
to property which they own adjoin
ing the city hall. This would neces
sitate removal of the' fire apparatus
occupying this place at present.
In return for this consideration,
Busch offered to remodel the front of
the building and pay a rental of $lo0
a month $25 higher than their pres
ent lease calls for.
There was very little discussion.
Mayor Shannon pointed out that ii
would entail an expense of $15 a
month to provide housing for the hook
and ladder if it were moved from its
present place back of the citv hail.
Upon motion of Councilman Cross,
the proposition was rejected. Bridges
and Metzner voted for the proposal.
The entire body was pres e"nt. .
The refusal of the proposition to
Busch and Sons comes as the sequel ;
to the refusal to lease the building to
Ruconich and Roppel, local butchers,
giving to Busch a lease on a strip ot
land to the east of the cily jail in re
turn for. the relinquishment of the re
mainder of their lease. The pro
posed lease was to run for ten years.
The city hall remains in status auc

Tbe coming international conference
at Washington, which is planned to
open on Armistice Day, November 11,
should have results both political an l
economic of the most far-reaching i:i -
portance for all the nations of the
world, according to the Guaranty Sur
vey, published by the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York
"Its conclusions must inevitably af
fect the future of countries not repre
sented, such as Russia and Germany,
as vitally as those decisions will affect
the future of the countries participat
ing,' The Guaranty Survey continues.
"The conference is called in respop.se
to the great popular outcry against
costly armaments, which are regarded
as intolerably burdensome, and to dis
cuss the problem of the Pacific
Signs point to the countries lying
eh the Pacific as providing many of thu.
most inviting fields for development in
the immediate future. South America
is rich in undeveloped resources, and
its nations are independent of foreign
control. Asia has a teeming population
along the seacoast and a vast, almost
virgin, upland interior still awaiting
tranrportation and development along
modern1 industrial lines. Morever, in
spite of, domestic difficulties,' there is
an aroused public opinion, especially i-
China, which is fighting foreign domi
nation in evry form.
"The queston of the Pacific is, there
fore, first a question of what countries-
shall share in this development, and in
what proportion and secondly by what
method these shares shall be appor
tioned whether by the European sys
tem of spheres of influence, or by tlU3
American system ot the open door.
"Clearly, hen, the coming confer
ence in Washington will attempt to
reach agreements covering those politi
cal questions which are fundamental to
future economic development It must
adopt policies which recognise i'ie
rights of those nations whicli itettl io
expand but which may be at a disad
vantage in the face of competition it3
deciF.ions will point the way, pnd, if
they are maintained for any consider
able time, will determine- the lines
along which the great Powers of th:
world will find their growth for manv
years to come. Therefore,- a solution
must be found which will guarantee
the decisions of the conference wi--out
the maintenance of huge arusa
mentg.
"The questions which the conference
will discuss, however, ought not tc je
decided solely on the basis of present
or future power, . it is pointed out.
These questions are especially ques
tions of right, which now are doubt
less undefined, and power, actual or
poteiiial, musthave a great deal to
do with their determination: but un
less their determination follows the
well understood principles of justice
and fair dealing for all- concerned they
cannot be stable for long. If these
principles be ignored or given on":
lip-service' by the statesmen who will
assemble, the great - object in view,
which is to lesser, the burden of
armaments on the peoples of the world
and to improve the economic baaej
of international cooperation will not be
attained. Economy Is of vital import
ance to the governments of the worUt-f,
and if they can be brought to cooper
ate politically the nations will ratural
ly come closer together commercialyl.
