Even Than Present, Say Financiers of City. BIGGER PAYROLL IS SEEN .120,000 COPIES PRINTED " I I a ---7r-sr- s -1 A tr 4 J -V - : Total Weight ot Edition, Which WiU .Go to All Parts of the World, ' Totals ' 145,000 . Pounds, or Approximately 72 1-2 Tons. " If all ihe paper that was used In printing The Oregonian's annual edi tion yesterday were stretched in a straight line, the full width of tire ordinary newspaper's pape. it would reach from Portland to Omaha on the east, more than 250 miles beyond the Mexican border on the south and to the vicinity ot Juneau, Alaska on the north. The size of the paper and the volume of the edition exceed that of all .pre vious years with the exception of the annual of 1910, which was larger and of greater number than usual because It commemorated the 50th anniver sary of the founding of The Morning and Sunday Oregonian. , Yesterday's edition consisted of 120, 000 papers. All will be. sold and sent to almost every corner of the globe. People habitually buy the New Tear's edition to inform their friends in other places of the progress and prosperity of Portland and Oregon. The great bulk of the papers are sent by indi viduals to Individuals. In this way they cover .the widest expanse of ter ritory and reach the greatest possible number of people. As such The Ore gonian has come to be called "the time keeper of Oregon's progress." 72'4 Tona of Paper Uaed. ThiB. year's number consisted of 78 pages. Tho paper weighed one pound and four ounces each, making the total weight of the edition 145,000 pounds, or 12 tons. . Now the blank paper from which all newspapers of standard size, such as The Oregonian, secure.-their "raw material" is made up in great rolls 68 inches wide. Each roll consists; then, of one continuous sheet of paper. Each 5C8 feet of paper in these rolls weigh 32 pounds. This scale of weight and length therefore shows that .the paper used in printing the edition, measured as it comes from the roll, was 2,301,748 feet, or 436 miles long. The width of the roll paper is split Into four equal parts, giving the print ed sheet the width of 17 inches. Thus, the full length of the printed pages, if placed end to end in a straight line, would be four times that of the blank rolls, or 1744 miles. This is virtually the distance from Portland to Omaha, to Juneau and 250 miles more that the distance to the Mexican border. Eionnom Work Required. To prepare for printing and mailing such an enormous amount of printed paper required many months of hard work on the part of many men. Cer tain members of the regular Oregonian staff were detailed early in the Fall to begin the task of assembling the material. Accuracy in presenting the review of i the year's progress and stories that would be interesting to the readers were the principal objects sougjit. .More than the ordinary attention was given this year to the illustrations and to the special pictorial section. This section, which consists of 18 pRges, was pronounced by many Port land residents yesterday to be one of the most artistic pieces of newspaper work ever accomplished. The street scenes and the sectional views of the rlty present strikingly the growth and the metropolitan appearance of Port land. Tho work was done, entirely by The Oregonian's regular staff of photographers and artists. Big Presses Are Taxed. Two of The Oregonian's big presses in tho basement of the building were busy for more than a week "running off" the special sections of the paper while not engaged with the regular work of the daily and Sunday publica tions. All the special sections were com pleted several days ago. Attention then was directed to the work of print ing the last or "news" section of the paper and of assembling the five parts ready for mailing. ' Here is where the circulation department and the me chanical departments were required to put forth their best effort. The circulation manager and most of his aslsstants worked all Tuesday night and until 5 o'clock yesterday evening without stopping to rest or to sleep. So did the head pressman and most of the men in the pressrooms. To save time the. news section was run off on two presses at the same time. That is. two full sets of stereo type plates were made and. from two presses the full 22 pages were issued at the same time, thus doubling the oulputin a given time. Grind Begins at Midnight. The first press started running at two minutes before midnight. The second one started Its monotonous grind 17 minutes after the new year had dawned. As fast as the papers issued from the presses they were taken Into a reom where the five sections were as sembled. The regular carriers dis trlbutd their papers "flat," that is. without wrapping. Those prepared for maling were wrapped in the dis tinctive green wrappers adopted by The Oregoniun several years ago to prevent the fraudulent sale of old pa pers by unscrupulous newsboys. While tho regular carriers were be ing supplied more than 30,000 papers were wrapped and made ready for the buying public. From 6 o'clock in the morning until late last night the sales were heavy and fast. . Newsboys were supplied with no confusion. In former years there used ti be more or less crowding, but now they know that there are enough pa pers to supply every demand and that all will be cared for, regardless of the time of day or night. Some of the boys were on hand at midnight. Others didn't show up until 8 o'clock in the morning. Bothswere supplied alike. PULLMAN ASKS $700,000 Washington State College Slakes Je- m and on legislature. ' : PULLMAN, "Wash., Jan. 1. The Board of Regents of the State. College de cided to ask the Legislature for an ap propriation of between $700,000 and J750.000 for the expenditures of the Mate College for the next two years. This sum includes 8150,000, the estl mated cost of a new agricultural build ing and a building for the mechanical department of tho school. The Regents also recommended that the cadet corps of the State College and the University be maclo a part of the National Guard, under training, but not liable to be called out for service. if w 1 vSSr-1"" PORT SHOWS GAIN Maritime Commerce Highly Satisfactory. INCREASE 218,579 TONS Merchant Exchange Statistics for 1912 Show Arrivals in. Harbor 51 'Greater and Departures 42 More Than in 1911. Compilations made of comparative statistics at the Merchants' Exchange are flattering- of maritime commerce during J912, as there- were 51 more vessels to enter this port than during 1911 and the .combined tonnage was increased by 12D.302, while there was an Increase of 42 vessels in the number cleared with a consequent gain of 89,277 tons. Thfl tabulation includes American and foreign bottoms and with but a small percentage of growth means' that more than 1000 carriers arrive and depart in 12 months. The big fleet has brought many thousands of tons of cargo, but as many of them are in the list of grain vessels and made port in ballast. the showing Is much smaller in tne way of freight discharge as compared with the amount dispatched. With few exceptions every steamer or -sailing vessel departed with a load. Then it must be considered, that some brought part cargoes, especially those in the offshore trade that began loading at Eureka or Coos Bay and came here to finish.

To the steamer Shna Yak. is given the banner for being the first carrier to poke her nose across the Columbia River bar as the vanguard of the 1913 fleet. She was reported yesterday to the Merchants Exchange as the sole arrival of the day. It is assumed that her voyage was featured by the same tempestuous conditions that -beset other coasters arriving during the past few days. Captain Ahlin, of the big freighter Camino, reports . that the ship was made tho plaything of a 90-mile blow and she was deluyed 12 hours making port from San Francisco. Tho blow opened Saturday and virtually contin ued until the Columbia was reached. when for a time it was too severe to permit the ship to cross in. Her deck was decidedly wet at times. The steam er Tamalpais was sighted once on the way, but is thought to have stood off shore during the blow.' DRUXKEX SAILORS HOLD REVEL Eleven Said to Have Deserted JProm Ma'nshu Mara Since Arrival. Deprived- of an executive head be cause the attack of his crew had so in jured Captain John Salter that he will be held at the Good Samaritan Hospital several days, sailors of the Japanese steamer Manshu Maru indulged in a protracted spree yesterday in further celebration of Mew tears, while offi cers from the police force, as well as the harbor patrol, stood guard at the gangway, the salts were permitted the freedom of the ship and allowed to drink to their hearts' content. A "dead line" was drawn on Inman-Poulsen's dock, however, and no intoxicated man or officer was permitted ashore. Seeming to have forgotten the hand- to-hand conflict ot Tuesday night, when Captain Salter was struck in the face with a shovel after he had fired 1T JLu,&t IB two shots over the heads of the mu tineers in an effort to quell them, the crew carried on in hilarious fashion. Empty five-gallon oil cans were pressed into service as cymbals and they paraded the deck, singing a Jap anese refrain, to the tune of "March ing Through Georgia." The ship ap peared as if she might have recently weathered a typhoon. Decks were lit tered, about the cabin on the port side remained spots of blood shed by tne captain in tho conflict, while bandaged heads among the crew attested to the well-aimed blows of the police, who stopped the fracas. Harbormaster Speier made a personal inspection of the ship and ordered that one of his men be on guard at all times, while with a brother officer from the department order was main tained so far as any righting was con cerned. Private watchmen Tesumed their duties, but it was admitted that. with those who escaped Tuesday night, 11 sailors have gone from the steamer since she arrived. ROUGH B.VK. HOLDS VESSELS Ships 3Iaj- Not Get to Sea Until Xcit AVeck. In a message to Brown & McCabo yesterday the Astoria agent of the Puget Sound Tugboat Company advised that masters of vessels expecting to be towed to the lower harbor bo informed that ships could not get to sea until next week, owing to the weather. Numbered with the barbound fleet are the steamers Alliance, Navajo, Yel lowstone, Geo.- W. Fenwick, Maverick and Temple E. Dorr, with the schooner Annie M. Campbell and .the British bark Hougoinont, the list having been forwarded to the Merchants Exchange by wire yesterday. The Navajo has been there since December 27, and the Alliance sailed from here Friday night. No report was received from the harbors along th4 Oregon coast, but it is assumed that the conditions are much the same. 1 OSSA GETS TOW IX TIME Ship Reported Drifting Toward .Shore When Picked Up. , Delayed information from Astoria deals with tho alleged narrow escape of the German ship Ossa, which arrived late Monday from Callao, as she is said to have been drifting dangerously near STEAMER INTELLIGENCE. 1 Due to Arrive.

The captain Is cred ited with having considered sailing across the bar before the tug hove in sight. Captain J. Collins, of the British bark Torrisdale. which was wrecked through being carried on the breakwater at Gray Harbor, has given out a state ment In which he said the vessel ar 1 ? jr ..ivv -nJZi rived off the Columbia" River last Thursday and stood out to sea again because a pilot could not be opxainaa It is regarded odd by shipping men that with four tugs on duty and pilots carried aboard them vessels should meet with material delay In picking up a guide when Hearing the river. The service is the best ever maintained and far superior to that to be found at other ports, but it is the consensus of opinion that little is to be gained in tugs cruising far offshore in order to get In touch with a vessel max nap pens to be in the vicinity of the river. Marine Notes. Captain Alblt. master of the British bark Metropolis, which is here from Buenos Ayres, is the proud possessor of a cat, 6 months old, that will re trieve a ball or stick like a iog ana do several other tricks. The feline was signed on at Buenos Ayres. Next of the tramps looked for in port Is the British steamer Strathlorne, which comes to load grain for the Unit ed Kingdom under charter to M. H Houser. It is reported that a "Strath" ship has been taken for lumber to Aus tralia by the American Trading Com pany. With 650.000 feet of lumber aboard, Including redwood loaded in California the little bark Albert, which is of 624 tons net register. Has hauled into the stream from the Eastern & Western mill. As she had a new main and fore mast stepped here, the rigging work is not completed, neither are the deck lashings in place, so she may not get away for a few days. The vessel is bound for Napier, New Zealand. Frank Bollam, passenger agent for the Independent steamer lines, yester day shifted his office to that of the Denver & Kio urande system, at 124 Third street. Though yet rising, the Willamette Is expected to come to. a. stand here to morrow, probably at a height of 11.5 feet above zero. A large amount of drift began running yesterday and there Is a heavy current. As the German ship Olona did not report- yesterday from Taltal, she missed her cancelling date, and It. is optional with M. H. Houser whether he retains the vessel under cnarter tor wheat. She has been on the way since November 22. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND, Jan.

Is Gonsen- . sns of Opinion New Yorkers Send Optimistic Forecast. All branches of Portland's varied in dustries tv ill thrive in 1913, according to the opinions of leading bankers of the city, who now are preparing for 12 months of continued prosperity and in creased activity. It is their universal opinion that 1913, which broke all records In bank clear ings and in many other lines of finance. will be superseded In greatness by 1913, and they are planning their business accordingly. Comment on the situation as viewed by "local financial men yesterday was: Payrolls) to Grow. John A. Keating, vice-president Lum bermen's National Bank The year 1912 witnessed the unique phenomenon of a Presidential election commencing with extraordinary virulence and end ing in peace without financial disquiet. The business of the country increased in prosperity tremendously throughout the period of the campaign, due, how ever, to the remarkable crops with which. Providence blessed the country. These crops swelled the tonnage of railroads, produced orders for equip ment, stimulating manufactures, and brought the country as a whole the greatest prosperity it has ever known. In the Pacific Northwest we have been blessed with excellent crops and our principal industry, namely lumber, has emerged from several years of pro found depression Into a period of wel come activity. Here also we have been laboriously learning the lesson that to accumulate wealth in this territory we must raise wheat, manufacture, lumber, and strive- in the various legitimate lines of industry rather than try to better our fortunes by marking up the prices of suburban lfts, farms and or chard lands. During the year 1913 we shall have a large lumber payroll, con siderable railroad construction and 'a much better season than the past. Kant Side Ers at Hand. George W. Bates, of George W. Bates & Co. The prospects for 1913 are very bright. It will be a good year. All indications point to increased business In Portland and the entire- Northwest. H. H. Newhall, president East Side Bank We find conditions on the East Side very favorable for a good year. The work of the Northwestern Electric Company and of the various railroads will throw a lot of money into the East Side this year. I look for 1913 to be every bit as good if not better than 1912. The farmers of Multnomah County expect Increased crops and that will help business In Portland. N. U. Carpenter, president Citizens' Bank Conditions are very favorable for another good year In Portland and Oregon. I look for continued prosper ity. Business on the East Side ought to be better than ever this year on ac count of the railroad development al ready planned. Crop conditions have been good and with another heavy- yield, this year 1913 should be a record-breaker. For that reason I look for the best business along the latter half of the year. F. C. Malpas, manager Canadian Bank of Commerce A great deal of money has come Into Oregon in the last year through our heavy grain and hop crops and through various other industries that are undergoing such rapid development. The outlook at the beginning of this new year is exceed ingly bright for 13 more months of prosperity. R. L. Durham, president Merchants National Bank Business is better by tar today than it was a year ago. At present everything points to a suc cessful and prosperous 1913. I just re ceived a letter from one of the leading banks of New lorK aavising me mat they expect the coming year to be far more prosperous than 1912. The New York banks naturally look to the peo ple of the Coast to make good returns every year. Omaha Livestock "larket. SOLTH OMAHA. Jan. 1. Cattle Re ceipt. 1000; market, steady to 10c higher.
