Portland Gains in Every Line.
Flour Trade in January Was
Best Since 1907.
BUILDING VIM IS GREAT
Bank Deposit and Reserves Show
Biff Increases Postal Business
4 Per Cent Bigger Realty
Transfers Are Many.
Remarkable gains In almost - every
Important line of business made In
January over the corresponding month
In 1911 is conclusive evidence that
there Is no abatement of Portland's
growth and prosperity. Following a
record year In Industrial, commercial
and building activity, the new year
begins with every prospect of climbing
above the high mark attained in 1911.
With the exception of building con
struction work., which was hampered
considerably by a week of bad weath
er, there was a marked expansion of
business during the month, the In
crease In some lines being especially
notable. Relative to the building situ
ation the showing In reality was equal
ly as good as that reoorded for the
same month of last year. While the
total value of new construction in
January, 1911, was somewhat larger,
there were more permits issued and
many more new dwellings authorized
last month.
Bigger Revord Made.
In January. 1911, new records were
established in bank clearings and pos
tal receipts, but substantial gains in
these two departments made in the
month Just closed show Portland's real
position among the larger cities of
the country. Authoritative statistics
of bank clearings of the 60 largest
cities in the United States place Port
land near the top of the list of finan
cial centers making notable Increases
in January.
Portland made an exceptionally
creditable showing in bank clearings
in the corresponding month of last
year but. In spite of the big gain, the
clearings of last month made an in
crease of more than S per cent. The
total clearings amounted to 143.841,
S89.40, compared with I41.S4S.S02.76 for
the corresponding month in 1911.
There are more deposits and greater
reserves In the Portland banks today
than ever before. The financial con
ditions of the city are especially solid
and bankers are agreed that the year
will be prosperous, notwithstanding
the Presidential campaign.
Business at the Portland Fostfflce,
which has been climbing steadily,
made a fine showing and exceeded the
record for the corresponding period of
last year by $1425. Postal receipts
reached a total of '86.0S3. compared
with-S82.6S7.41 in January, 1911, mak
ing an increase of 4 per cent. The
postal savings bank, the third in Im
portance In the United States, Is mak
ing a rapid gain In deposits.
Portland haa good reason to con
gratulate Itself for the noteworthy
start made tn building construction. In
view of the fact that there were no
permits issued for costly buildings In
January, the showing Is really better
than that made a year ago. The total
value of buildings authorized was
$901,273. compared with $990,616 for
the same period last year.' The total
number of permits was SS. as against
41 In January, 1911. or a gain of 150
permits. There are half a dozen plans
In the office of the Building Inspector
for modern fireproof structures that
will represent a total expenditure of
$1,000,000.
- Big BnlldlBva te Rise.
In addition to these proposed build
ings, there re planned some costly
structures which will rise later In the
year. In residence construction Janu
ary far exceeded the showing; made in
the same month last year, and there
Is every indication that this class of
building activity will surpass the rec
ord of any previous year. The build
ing situation, as a whole, is most sat
isfactory and promises to keep up well
Indefinitely.
In realty operations the past month
showed a decided improvement. There
were more transfers recorded and
many larger sales closed than for the
same month of last year. Demand for
downtown property was brisk all
month, while the market in residence
sites and homes was good. There are
more newoomers and outside investors
in Portland now than there were this
time last year.
Shipments Are Great.
One of the most gratifying features
of the month's aotlvlty Is the great
showing made In lumber and- flour
shipments. In 1911 there was only
150.000 feet of lumber forwarded to
foreign ports, valued at $1600. The
total amount of lumber exported last
month was 11.606,000 feet, valued at
more than $114,000. Coastwise shipping
amounted to about 9,000,000 feet. Cali
fornia receiving the largest part of the
consignments. The total lumber ship
ments for the month reached nearly
21,000,000 feet. The record In this traf
fic Is regarded as a most healthful
sign of a brisk lumber trade through
out the year.
Puget Sound exported less than one
half as much wheat as Portland to the
United Kingdom, although It shipped
more to California and the Orient.
Comparatively speaking, Portland
made a much better showing. This port
leads by 363,095 bushels for the month
and for the season to date Is ahead of
the northern cities 3,096.384 bushels,
gaewins; Beat Since 1907.
The Merchants Exchange summary
also shows that for January Portland
floated 90,205 barrels of flour, against
78.735 barrels for the corresponding
period last season and to date the ex
portation of the manufactured product
has been 651,980 barrels, against 435.
376 barrels for the same- time last year.

REV. 1. BOYD REPLIES
PASTOR STATES POSITIOX ON
CHUISTIAX SCIENCE.
Minister Says Relation Between
Sickness and Religion Is Too Re
mote; Healings Trivial.
TORTLANP. Or.. Jan.' 31. (To the
Editor.) I am not a controversialist,
and everything savoring of warring
denominations Is very distasteful to
me. Hence. I had not thought of reply
ing to Mr. Van Meter's statement, but
since you regard the matter of suffi
cient importance for editorial comment,
I ask a little space in which to make
my position clear to your reading pub
lic Recently I have received requests,
not one, but many, to present some
truths which would assist those who
were mentally and. spiritually confused
by all this modern outbreak of healing
in the name of religion. My own peo
ple made this request.
The sermons were and are to be
preached in my own pulpit. The out
line (an excellent one, by the way)
given in The Oregonian was without
suggestion or aid from myself. I -did
not attack Christian Science. I really
rave less attention to it than to the
Faith Curists and the so-called Em
manuel Movement.
I fairly stated the positions and
claims of these cults, and purposed. In
a series of four talks, to show just
what you, Mr. Editor, declare to be the
fact, in the last paragraph of your
editorial: That all this healing has
nothing to do with the Bible, and that
It is not reasonable to make a religion
of It; that it is psychological, scientif
ically so, and to back up these various
healing systems with a subtle tneta
physio concerning God. reality, etc,
etc, or to prove the Christian character
of them by an impossible exegesis is
illogical and dishonoring to essential
religion.
In my first sermon on this subject,
I showed that the connection of sick
ness with religion constituted an old
and painful chapter in human think
ing. The attitude of man's mind to
wards diseases from the beginning has
been an Irrational one. He ascribed it
to the , anger of God (In a real sense
this may be true), to devils, to witches,
to the evil eye, and so on, finding the
origin of sickness in supernatural, re
mote, metaphysical causes. The con
sequence Is that all the progress which
medicine and hygiene and surgery and
sanitation have made has been slow,
and in spite of the inertia of error, I
think that the modern man owea it to
himself to understand that ail of this
new (sic) conception of sickness Is a
part of this sad record of the past, and
that they who hold It are not advanced
thinkers, but reactionaries. The world
has moved beyond them.
In my second lecture, the one Mr.
Tan Meter took exception to. I tested the
claims of modern healing cults to have
the method and power of Jeeus Christ.
They do claim to have these. I lay
down the simple proposition that If this
be so, then they should produce the
results ascribed to Christ. That they
do not do this I proved by showing that
associated with Jesus there was a
power to ohange water to wine, multi
ply loaves and fishes, still storms, and
pass through closed doors. No mod
ern cultlst has dared to claim such
power. Then I compared the healings
noted In faith healing papers. In Chris
tian Scientist testimony meetings, and In
Dr. Worcester's clinics, with the cases
of healing credited to Jesus by Luke.
Luke was a doctor and seems to have
been more Interested in such miracles
than other sacred historians. He men
tions 17 cases of healing with some de
gree of fullness. Two are of persona
raised frera the dead, two of blindness,
two epilepsy, one of great fever, one of
a sword cut, one an ovarian discharge
of 12 years' standing, one of dropsy.
None of these are In the realm of the
nervous system primarily. Of the
seven connected with the nervous sys
tem, one wss demoniacal possession, of
whioh we know little: one epilepsy, one
an insanity so violent that the lunatlo

two cases of paralysis, one acute, prob
ably meningitis, the other rendering
the man so helpless that he had to be
carried on a bed. There was a case of
