WHEAT SITUATION GOOD Improvement In Lumber Trade Is forecast and Bank Gains In spire Confidence. Kastern Money Offered West. BY CHARLES W. MTERS. Within the past fortnight a marked change in the commercial and financial situation of the country has been noted. There have been tidings of times stead ily Improving, of business growing larger In volume and value, of Idle labor going again Into employment in the Industrial districts, of Increasing orders In the steel trade and of the placing of large contracts for railroad equipment. These facta are substan tiated by consulting the most conser vative authorities. It is. therefore, the purpose of this article to show that a substantial forward movement in trade Is under way and that business confi dence is returning. In the Pacilic Northwest a change for the better has not been as notable as In some other sections. The slump in the lumber trade and the absence of adequate shipping: facilities to carry our lumber products to Atlantic sea board markets have been unfavorable developments since the beginning of the war. but within the next two months an improvement in the lumber industry undoubtedly will follow. Lumber stocks in the Middle West are depleted, and with Spring near at hand a large rail movement is expected. The condition of Wintpr wheat in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho is reported is 'satisfactory. With an unusually large acreage in wheat and with only n average yield, the Northwest this year probably will be benefited to a creator degree by the war than it was in the year just closed. The forthcoming months have pood things in store for the Northwest. This rction of the country is the last to be effected by business depression, and. accordingly, it is the last to recover from its effects. The time is at hand for us to have more confidence in our selves. We are at the turning; point for the better. When bank clearings continue to make steady sains, when deposits show consistent increase and when the banks are handling a larger number of items, it is positive proof that buoiness is more active. During the past four weeks Portland banks have made an exceedingly nne showing In gains in both deposits and clearances. The financial situation in Portland has been making a more notable improvement than that of any other city In the Northwest. A comparison with condi tions at Seattle is interesting. Statistics covering clearances for the past two weeks show that the clear ings In Portland reached a total of Jl0.946,95.i, as compared with J19.50S.002 lor tilts corresponding period of last j enr. The gain amounted to J 1.4:i7,953. Figures lor the past two weeks show that clearings at Seattle totaled $20, lit.S3:i, while for the same period last year the totals were $22,7."!8.72S. Seattle not only showed a loss of 52,583.8:15 in clearings, but also fell below Portland during the past two weeks by nearly jxno.000. These figures speak for themselves. They ought to inspire every person who studies them. They show that Portland is recovering with greater energy than any other city in the Northwest. Portland's solid business and financial Flatus Is due in large measure to the careful and conservative methods of her Tanking institutions. So, when leading tankers speak for publicat.'on on issues effecting business, their utterances al ways are of convincing interest. Hear what some of them say: J. L. Hartman, secretary of the Port land Clearing House Association Bank deposits have gained notably during the past three or four weeks. This show ing undoubtedly is due to general busi ness improvement. There is plenty of money available for loans at normal rates of interest. There is no question that wo are on the eve of much better times. Laward Cookingham, vice-president of Ladd & Tilton Bank The financial rtatus of the country now is better than sinca the beginning of the war. Money is easing up in the market cen trs at very material'- reduced rates. J nd there are plenty of funds for short trrm commercial loans. There has been some increase in bank deposits in Port land during the post few weeks. The February tratle letter issued by fie Merchants' National Bank, refer ring to the local situation, says: "The Pacific Northwest shows a de cided tendency toward improvement. Jirgely because of Ihc circulation of t ie money received from t!-e last har vest, the liberal preparations for this year's rrons and confidence in the fu ture. With co-operation, combined with Intellicenee as the slogan, the leaders of the various industries row re getting together in such a spirit fiat hope for the future is strong." Large blocks of Fast, rn money have Yeen offered in Portland within the past few weeks by New York and Chi cago money brokers, who, taking ad vantage of the easy money market In the Fast, are attempting to place it In Vie Pacific Coast states at to 4 per cm. Several large mercantile estab lishments in Portland have been of fered as high as 150,000 in one loan on their commercial paper running from three to six months. Within the past week one firm has been offered that fum at 3H per cent until next August K. Fhnnan. of Mason, FJhrman & Co., wholesale grocers, said yesterday that iio better evidence of the hih rating of Western commercial credit could be . f ""und than the offers the Kastern DioTy brokers have been making. "Our firm has been offered lanre sums at 3 per cent on our paper, and J know several other firms have re reived similar offers," said Mr. Ehr rnan. "The report out of Chicago and New York t!'.a,t the hanks are abun dantly supplied with f inds is no doubt tru. They are more than taking care cf their horn merchants and the Mid dle West and are seeking to get some of this Western business, which, of course, the Western hanks themselves are quite capable of handling. ( How ever, it is a good sign when they come to Uie West voiuntarily to offer as pilch large sums at such a convenient rate. The brokers are asking only rne-fourth of 1 per cent commission in handling these negotiations" Grip's Relapse Fatal. MAHSHFIELP, Or.. Feb. 7. (Spe cial. Mrs. Harry Winkler, wife of prominent Marshlield druggist, died this morning from a relapse of grip. Mrs. Winkler was about the city on Iriday and seemed to be in good health. BEAD OUR GREAT WAR STORY VOL. 1. HO.NMI CRAWFISH. "It Never Crabs." Monday. February' 8, 1915. DEAN COLLINS, Editor. EDITORIAL Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan, who are connected with our Government in Washington, have adopted, we understand, policy of watchful waiting with regard to Mexico, and The Crawtiah de sires to point out In lie ringing editorial this week that subse quent events have vindicated their policy. They have had a great deal of watchfulness and as much wait ing as time would permit. "AU tilings come to him who waita." and The Crawtiah Juat at this moment can't tnrnk of anything that hasn't come to this fair lanj of freedom Irom Mexico la the paat few xuontna, and hopes that not many more things will be coming in the near future. Altogether we feel that the net results of the Mexican pol icy have been conaiderable and we look to see them considerable more. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Rain la needed in some sec tion, we understand, but not here. Shad Krantx, who has been sojourning in Salem, informs us that E. Verateeg was laat week visiting among the Solon, and Lycurgusaes of that city and eemrd to feel that the country is still sate. We enjoyed a pleasant out ing yesterday morning jitneying down to the office with one of tlie w. k. autobus bandits that have been operating in our mliiat recently. Franklin T. Griffith, who we understand is intereated in the street railways of this city, in formed Mayor Albee this week that he still continues to view the autobus bandits with alarm. This makes three weeks contln- -uously that he has beta viewing them in that manner. Palnles Parker returned into our midst this wk. from a so journ in California, during winch he enjoyed several days In tho hospital, and, he informs, in his inimitable way, almost croaked, but is much better now. G. Stuart, the w. k. press asent-for Vancouver, Wash., was over again Sat. evening to have his throat treated for aridity, which he says hangs on some thing terrible and don't seem to get any better the longor it runs. Many other prominent Van vouventea are afflicted the same way. he aays. Mayor Albee said the other dev. regarding the autobus ban dits that are Jitneying in our midst, that tho city has been trying to regulate the street rail ways for oV yrs., and has been able to accomplish more regulat ing in tho past SO days that the jitnoybus bandits . have been among us than in ail the years before. George Baker, the prominent theatrical magnate, dropped in the other evening and told us we might Interview him on the present situation, which we did. but limited space prevents ua from publishing the thlnga that he went on to stato with regard to said pres. sit. D. A. Grout, who helps run our school district and is a w. k. educator, says he may stop his subscription to Tho Crawfish be cause he is forced to devote too much time to its pages and fears he may neglect his official duties, but we bet he won't do it We are informed that BUI MacSwaln. one of Uncle Sam'a . arms of the law, has banished WH OUfZ MOVIE II PROTEST Proposed Censorship Ordi nance to Be Opposed. TERMS THOUGHT DRASTIC Assertions Made That Mayor's Plan to Punish All Managers Because Sonic Have Violated Prom ise Is Sot Fair. Motion picture theater men in the main will oppose the new censorship ordinance that the Mayor is preparing and which is likely to be submitted to, the Commission Wednesday, holding Its riilinps to be tinwarrantedly drastic Radical features In the new measure, as it Is proposed, are the abolition of the board of appeal and the establish ment of an office at the City Hall to handle the business of the censorship bureau with a salaried censor in charge to work with the nou-salaried censor ship board. Jf the board of appeal, which has been composed of Judge Stevenson and a committee he appoints. Is abolished, this will leave the ruling of the censors final and will Kive the motion picture men no opportunity or appealing from its decisions. Mr. Vlnstoek Opposes Change. "I am unalterably opposed to legal and drastic censorship and the. Mayor is served with respectful notice here and now that I shall do all in my power to prevent the passage of the ordi nance as outlined in The Oregonian yesterday." said M. G. Winstock. of the National Theater. "I do not represent nor do I speak for theaters which exhibit salacious, indecent, immoral or suggestive motion pictures." said Mr. Winstock. 'Always I have co-operated with the city au thorities and the voluntary board of censors. I have never knowingly vio lated a solitary request and I shall al ways exercise the same care and dis crimination whether there is censorship or not. "I am opposed to the proposed meas ure because it is not based on a clear public need or demand and Is being pu--th-ough because a few theaters have not played fair. I am opposed to it because no few people can be safely trusted to regulate and measure public taste and committees or official boards of this character have not operated satisfactorily in any city In the United states. "I am opposed to this newest law because It is unnecessary. There Is a law now that covers cases of the kind." Mr Cordray Gtvea 1 lews. "AsI said in public on another oc casion, the most potent censorship In the world is the demand of the pub lic," remarked John F. Cordray.' sen oral manager of the Peoples Amuse ment Company, controlling the Peoples and Star Theaters. "If the public demands the salacious in pictures, censorship would have, in time, to bow before it. I believe the public does not care for those pictures which are prejudicial to the commu nity's well being. I am sure the public will in time learn to avoid those thea "IT NEVER .m CRABS PORTLAND.

Mrs. Frank Harwood gave a pleasant surprise party on her husband on the stage of Mr. Consldlne's opera house at Stark and Broadway, where he Is the Concert Melster, Thur. night, to which many of us leading citl xens were invited. A danco was held after the birthday dinner by Bill Tan gle's orchestra. Bill playing the big and little drums, and Mr. Pete Marino, the purveyor of melody for the Oregon Hotel, playing the piano.

Patrolman Crampton. of the local police force, returned us Dean Vincent's Royal Rosarian hut the other day, thinking It was ours because our first name la the same. He didn't tell us where he found It, hut as be didn't arrest us we guesa It's all right, and wiah that Dean would call and get his hat and tell us where he lost It. Billy Goldman demurs at being called "William" In The Crawfish. Says that Is what his father called him always before being thrashed, and the sound makes him shiver to this day.

Bill Dlngley dropped In on us tho ether day having re turned from a prospecting trip in parts unknown, during which he looked over soma properties said to be platinum claims but he aays. they ain't. Ho went on to state that it was some other kind of metal, that we don't know anything about, and didn't think much of it because it is worth only ?4S0 per pound, whereas he says he can get $1000 per pound for platinum.

SHIP EARNING GREAT Tonnage Rates Soar Faster Than Wheat Prices. TRAMPS GET $1250 DAILY E. V. Wright, of Merchants Ex change, Notes Enriching Profits Made by Lines at 05-Sliillins Tax Example Cited. "The averase landsman, who is more familiar with wheat than with the ships that carry it to the world's markets, does not fully appreciate that in the present sky-rockety flight of both wheat and ocean freight rates the In crease in tonnage rates has been much greater proportionately than the Increase in the price or wneat. sam rj. v. Wright, manager of tho Merchants' Ex change, yesterday, "It is only when we stop to figure up what a 65-shilling rate means to a shipowner that tile tremendous earnings of the average tramp steamer can be understood. Take for example the British steamer Low ther Castle, which was chartered Sat urday to load wheat at Portland for Europe at the rate mentioned. "The Lowther Castle, after making allowance for plenty of bunker space for coal to take her through the Canafl to an Atlantic coaling place, will carry 6700 long ,tons of cargo. At a 65 shilllng rate she will earn for the voy age 104.520. "The average passage for the tramp steamers leaving Portland this season has been about SO days to the port of discharge. The average time spent In loading at Portland has been less than 10 days and discharge is even more rapid, so that for 70days' use of thesteamerthe owners will be paid $1500 a day. Prior to the war tramp steamers were avail able on time charter as low as $250 a day. Assuming that the owners were not losing money at that figure. It would seem that they are now making from $1000 to $1250 a day over and above a reasonable profit. "Two years ago a 7000-ton tramp steamer could be purchased for about $300,000 to $250,000 and the owners who are now operating some of this cheap tonnage will easily receive for a year's work more than-the original cost of the ship. "Last year at this time wheat was selling above 90 cents a bushel and tonnage was obtainable around 30 shillings. Had the rise in wheat been as great proportionately as that in freights the cereal would now be worth J2 per bushel. BAD WEATHER DELAYS BOATS George W.

All the bone-making, blood-making, muscle-making values of choicest wheat com bined with malted barley are afforded in this famous pure food. Grape-Nuts being partially predigested by long baking, gives quickly a wonderful power to "do," in return for the small energy required to digest it. Better and more complete nourishment than Grape-Nuts and cream is difficult to find; and with the price of meat way up there's true economy, too.
