ket. The present situation waa said by In
teniailonaJ bankers to b th reealt of over

sharply. Some appearance of strength waa
lent by a two-poiut advno In Union Pa
cific and a continuation of the forward
movement In apeclaJttea. which have been
prominent recently. Th alec trio shares, the

the advanc In prlcea of the metal to 14 He.
th highest price of nearly thre years. Fa
vorable conditions In the steel trail also

taken from the fact that Argentine weather

SALEM, Or.. Dec. 20. (Special.)
"Weird comparisons of fisrures of re
ports of lars-e railroads operating- In
tha state, tha reports being; filed with
tha State Railroad Commission, are
baffling; the rate experts of that body.
For instance, the question has arisen
as to how $18,000,000, approximately. Is
divided between 320 employes of the
Southern Pacific That road shows that
It has employed 43,74 men at a cost
in salaries and wages of 839.190,539.
The Ureat Northern employed 43.434
men at a cost in salaries and wages of
$22,624,859.
On top of this the Northern Pacific
employed only 29,283 men at a cost of
$24.66,18.
The mileage of the Northern Pacific
and Southern Pacific is practically th.
same, being; 8394 for tho Northern Pa
cific and 8198 tor the Southern Pacific,
while the mileage for the Great North
ern is 7294.

H. Lamb, of Hoqulam, has been chosen
president of the new Port of Grays
Harbor Commission, and A. C McNeill,
of Montesano. was named secretary,
when the board organised. Instead of
employing a resjular port engineer, it
is likely that three of the best engi
neers in the Northwest will be retained
aa a board for consultation. The men
now considered for this work are R.
H. Thompson, formerly City Enggneer
of Seattle: Vlrerll Bogus, of Tacoma,
and J. B. C Lookwood, of Portland.
