They were surprised at the marvelous growth and development of the great Northwest. In which they have apent the past three days, but their surprise after viewing the wonderful and apparently prosperous conditions of Portland as pre sented by trips In sightseeing cars and hurried visits to the principal commercial and Industrial centers of the diy. fsr exceeded that of the first two days. The Ohloans. of which there were VA. Including some of the leading bank of ficials, together with their wives and daughters, were the guests of the Port land Clearing-House Association while m the city. Their special waa met at the North Bank depot by a committee of Portland bankers. They were first conducted through the scenic parts of the city In automobllea.

"Portland evidently does not feel the business depression that has been notice able for the past few yeare m the East. said E. R. Fancher, vice-president of the TnJon National Bank of Cleveland. I see that the weekly bank clearings show a decided Increase over the corresponding weeks af last year uch an Increase, I believe, that Portland usually ranks at the head of the In this respect. That condition Indicates nothing but prosper ity, healthy development and substantial business. While we. In Cleveland, are proud of our banking facilities, we depend largely upon the lmn and steel Industry for our business. The recent depression In those lines haa resulted In conditions mhlcb. while not serious, when viewed alongside of those In Portland, appear quite unfavorable by contrast." X. C. Stone, president of the National City Bank of Akron. O.. the home of the great rubber tire tndustry, was almost astounded at the prosperity and activity displayed here. Thla being Ins first trtp West of the -Rockies, he was not pre pared to see a city that so clearly Indi cated an Independence of other than Iti own Immediate resources and that so surely portrsyed Its steady progress to ward commercial supremacy. "Portland is a wonderful city. I am sorry that our schedule does r.ot permit us to remain longer." eatid Charles P. Vlnus. director of the Citizens' Banking Company of Norwalk, O. Cuban Financier Like Portland. W. A. M. Vaughan. assistant cashier of the National Bank of Cuba. -at Havana, was delighted with his tour through the Northwest and particularly with Port land. "The next time I come here I'll rtav at least a week." he said. John Kerch, president of the Commer cial Savins Bank of Akron.. O.. waa likewise Impressed. "I hsd no Idea that Portland was anything like this." he enthusiastically exclaimed. "Why, It far surpasses the most sanguine conceptions I had of the place." "It Is a regular Eastern city, only with more life and energy to It than the aver age Eastern city of twice Its size." was the comment of W. S. Kent, president of the Kent National Bank and publisher of the Kent Courier, at Kent. O. "I had frequently wondered what gave Portland such a heavy banking business. stated F. H. Goff. president of the Cleve land Trust Company, the largest bank ing Institution in Cleveland. Mr. Goff Is also a momber of the well-known law firm of Kline. Tolles and Goff. "But when I look around me and see the busi ness on every hand I am no longer sur prised.' he added. William R. Creer. treasurer of the Cleveland Savings St Loan Company and W. I. Thompson, director of the Lake Shore Bank of Cleveland, expressed the op nlon that Oregon offered more and better opportunities for the future than any section of the country they ever have visited. The . party Is in charge of D. J. Collyer, district passenger agent of the Lake Snore St Michigan Southern Ralkway. This Is his 17th trip to the Coast. "When I first came out here I traveled through herds of antelope and buffalo In passing over the plains.' he observed remlnlscently. "Each aucceedtng trip haa presented more and more development.

Refusal to, Support Olson Given as Reason for HI Downfall He Will Contest Succession. Paul At. Long, deputy cierk of the Justice Court until the day after the primary election, is out of a job. and he says that it Is because he would not support Fred L. Olson for re-election as Justice. Immediately after complete returns from the election were pub lished Long lost his position, and IT was at first stated that he had resigned. It now developa, however, that the res ignation was requested for political rea sons, and Long is positive In assigning the responsibility to Judge Olson, with whom he has been rather unfriendly for a long time. Ing Is wrathy at the outcome and announces that he will make It his business to see that the County Com missioners are Informed that too large force Is carried In the offlre. He says three men are fully sufficient to do the work, and that he will protest against another being appointed to fill his place. In answering the statements of Long, Justice Olson last night said that the man had been let out for the good of the service. Regarding the charge that It was because of Long's refusal to sup port his campaign. Justice Olson replied that he had not asked Long's support and believed himself fortunate In not having had it. He further stated that Long'a successor would be appointed In a few days, but refused to make public his name, as to Long s threat to con test the appointment of a successor. Justice Olson merely laughed. What additional move to make In tha oast rate cases, on which a tentative opinion was handed down by the Inter- state Commerce Commission In June. Is under consideration by the transporta tion committees of the Portland and Seat tle Chambers of Commerce. At a meeting of the transportation com mittee of the Portland organisation Mon day the entire situation waa gone over and suggestions made which may later taae rorm in some procedure. W. A. Mears. manager of the transportation bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, was In Portland yesterday In con sultation with J. N. Teal, attorney for the Portland committee. Mr. Teal said yes terday that he was not prepared to say what further movement, if any. would ba made In the matter. Portland merchants are not satisfied with the reductions made on distribu tive rates out of Portland In comparison with reductions on westbound rates front Lastern and Middle West Jobbing centers that were suggested In the Commission's opinion. Rates eastward from tke Coast are relatively higher, it is asserted, than he westbound rates, and the reductions proposed maintain this discrimination gainst the Coast cities. It waa ex plained yesterday that Portland mer chants are not seeking a quarrel with the railroads, but are simply contending that their dollar should buy as much trans portation as the dollar of the Eastern merchant. Probably another outrwme of the Mon day meeting will he the taking up with the Northern Pacific and North Bank roads of the matter of naming a through rate from Portland via Pasco to points In Eastern Washington west of Pasco. The district mentioned has been held by the Northern Pacific to be that railroad's local territory, and the through rate from Portland Is by the longer route from Portland to Tacoma and thence east over the Northern Pacific main. line. Some weeks ago the Northern Pacific published a new tariff. Increasing the rates from Portland In response to pressure brought to bear by Tacoma. but the proposed Increase was suspended pending an Investigation by the Inter state Commerce Commission. Portland, apparently, will have a better chance of securing maintenance of a fair competi tive rate with Tacoma Into the territory west or Pasco by appealing for a through rate via tan shorter North .Bank route. via me isortn Bant and Pasco, the Portland merchant cam now distribute goods in the territory named only by paying the sum of the two locals.
