LUMBER DEMAND GROWING Trospects "r Bumper Crop Kelied Vpon to Add Zest to Purchases for Middle West and Confl- dencc Said to Augur Well. With the beginning of Spring opera tions on the farms as well as of a seneral renewal of building activity, especially in dwelling-houses, in the various towns and cities, the business outlook in the Northwest has begun to brighten. There seems to be a some what better feeling in all lines of trade. This attitude ts based on the conviction that the bottom has been reached. From this time on the im povement will be gadual and. in the opinion of bankers and business men. within the next six months business will have regained its normal volume. The lumber indsutry. which has been in a decidedly unsatisfactory condition tor more than a year, is showing signs of betterment. The manufacturers re port that inquiries are coming in from the Middle West, where the stocks since last Fall have been greatly de nl.ted. HeDorts of favorable crop con ditions there are having a stimulating effect. If the domestic demand lor lumber reaches anywhere near normal proportions, the manufacturers will be able to tide over their affairs until the foreign trade picks up. The European war has been a severe blow to the lum ber industry, both on account of the cessation of building activities in the war zone and of the paucity of vessels to carry lumber to markets in other countries. Lumber Market Sought. The Columbia River Lumber Ex change is making special efforts to increase the cargo trade on the Atlan tic seaboard and if its plans are suc cessful it is hoped a large market for lumber products of the Columbia River district will be built up speedily. The exchange has enlisted the aid and ad vice of the financial interests of Port land, with the view of bringing about a generai improvement In the industry. One of the leading bankers who is prominent in the activities of the ex change Is Kdward Cookingham. vice president of the Ladd & Tilton Bank. Relative to the general business out look, Mr. Newhali, president of the East Side Bank, says: "I believe the whole country Is on the upgrade. I have talked with many people and they have expressed the opinion that conditions are improv ing. Not that we shall experience any rapid development for some time to come, but there will be a steady up ward Diovement. There is a much better feeling among all classes and people are more kindly toward each other. There has been a' sort of feel ing among the workingmen that they have been getting the worst of it, and they have oeen inclined to blame the corporations, but there is coming a better understanding between the workfagman. and. the corporation. Financial Basis Gives Hope. "There Is no reason why there should not be a steady improvement in all business and tinancial conditions. The country is on a sound financial ba sis and what we need to inculcate at the present time is confidence in our financial concerns and in the affairs of the country. We need to be careful and economical and then we may be sure that prosperity will come to this country. It is. in the atmosphere." Peter Hume, president of the Sell wood Bank, said: "I think I can see a decided improvement in conditions. ' There has been antagonism between workingmen and men of means and corporations, with the result that in vestments have been curtailed; but there is a better understanding. What we need is something that will furnish employment, which ought to come with this improved understanding. We are Setting down to brass tacks and are on the upgrade at the present, slowly, but it is surely coming." LUMBER MARKET SOUGHT flans for Transporting Products to Atlantic Coast Under Way. The question of moving lumber from the Columbia River district to Atlantic seaboard points with tugs and two or more vessels in tow is under considera tion by the Columbia River Lumber Exchange This method of transport ing lumber from the Columbia River ws suggested by E. W. Harrison, of Baltimore, a short time ago. The ex change has been making a study of this plan, and the conclusion has been reached that it will be feasible, the main question now to settle is the ea Jlstment of Atlantic shipowners in the enterprise. Within the next few days it is prob able that the exchange will send a com mi t tee. consisting of Mr. Harrison and a member of the exchange, to the At lantic Coast to take up negotiations with the view of making arrangements with shipowners for the proposed serv ice. PAINTERS TO HEAR TALK Manufacture of Paints and Var nishes to Be Described. C. 0 Powers, special representative of Lowe Brothers' Company of Dayton. O., will give a lecture for the painters of Portland tonight at a smoker in the Hullders' Exchange, on Third and Oak streets. Mr. Powers will talk on the various materials entering into the manufacturing of paints and varnishes. The lecture will . be illustrated by stereopticon views, showing the differ ent countries from which the materials are obtained and the manner of pro curing them. Some of the newest meth ods of finishing will also be demon strated. The meeting also will be a get-together session and will be informal. STEEL BUSINESS THRIVING Capital Going Into Building Mate rial, bnt Loans Go Begging. . Aside from the placing of larse con- tracts for war munitions and other teel products for export, the most en couraging feature in the teel Industry is me BlHUjr fi" 1 " ...... . . . lowlnx the larger specifications against t oiiLi blih iu."wu " against current orders. At the moment there seems to be some incentive to place contract be cause of the low cost of building mi- terial. especially in steel lines, but money is not so readily available. In fact, speculative builders find it al most impossible to secure loans at rea sonable rates. -One or two large build ers in the Eastern territory have em ployed their own funds in recent con tracts placed. This is unusual, as a rule, speculative buildings are put up with borrowed capital. It is an inter esting fact also that some tempting building loans that is. Judged by the ordinary standard have been offered here recently from Canada, but tt seems doubtful that the money will be obtained here because of the long time of maturity asked. However, the in terest rates offered are more than sat isfactory to capitalists. RAZING OF BUILDING NEAR Work Soon to Begin on New Home ol First National Bank. Razing of the building at the south west corner of Fifth and Stark streets. occupied by the J. G. Mack A Co. fur niture store, will. begin between April 5 and 10, in preparation for the erec tion of the TI,000,000 structure to be the home of the First National Bank. J. G. Mack said yesterday that the furniture company would be able to vacate the building which it has occu pied for the last seven years about the second week in April and expected to be completely Installed in its new tern- PORTLAND BANKERS WHO BELIEVE THAT BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE DUE TO IMPROVE. t ft f m ? .)

The bank officials, he has been advised, wish to begin actual work on the site for the new bank as soon as the store can vacate. Mr. Mack said his company would occupy the entire five floors and basement of the Weinhard building. Plans for the new bank building have not been selected definitely, but it is generally believed that the build ing will follow the lmes of Grecian architecture, in detail resembling the Parthenon. The building, which will be typically a banking structure, will be novel in Portland. The building which is to be torn down to make way for the new bank was erectetLin 1899 for Neustadter Bros. In AplST; 108, J. G. Mack & Co. moved into it. A. I Mills, president of the First National Bank, left Thursday for the East, where he will attend the annual meeting of the trustees of Harvard University. On his return it is ex pected a definite decision as to the plans for the building will be made. KENEWICK DEBATERS VWN District Championship Taken in Duel Meet With Sunnyslde. KENXEWICK, Wash., March 28. De bating off a tie in the lnterscholastic contests for the championship of dis trict D, Kennewick defeated Sunnyside last night at Sunnyside, thus winning the district championship Kennewick upheld the affirmative of 'the state question. The debaters were: Kenne wick, Barton, Sherk, William Sly and John Hamilton; Sunnyside, Miss Boleb, M.iss Tounge and Mr. Wheelan. The judges were Professors Groupe, Harriss and Parmentler. of Ellensburg Normal. This makes the fifth consecutive vic tory for Kennewick. the negative being upheld three times and the affirmative twice. Mr. Sly and Mr. Hamilton were members of last year's county cham pions. Portland Banks Lead in Northwest. For the financial week ending Fri day, Portland bank clearings, in com parison with those of oilier Northwest ern cities, made a satisfactory show ing. Portland's total clearances were $10,946,052, as compared with $10,351, 45a' at Seattle and $1,793,962 at Tacoma. Portland's excess over clearances at Seattle was $593,599. As compared with th cuarings for the corresponding week of last year all three cities showed decreases. j G4SOLIXE SCHOONER WHICH WILL OPEN HALIBUT FISHING ALONG OREGON COAST. 1 DKCOKAH AT SESSION IS AWAITED Oregon Bankers Interested in International Meeting. OUTCOME IS IMPORTANT Points i Concerning Dealings With South America Among Many to Bo Cleared Vp at Washing ton Conference Slay 10. Bankers of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest are apparently feeling a strong degree of interest in the inter national financial conference which will be held in- Washington, D. C. May 10. All nations of the Western Hemisphere are expected to be represented at the conference, and in all probability It will constitute one of the most repre sentative financial gatherings of the Edward Coofclnfcham. Vice-President t Ladd & Tilton Bank. kind ever held in the United States. Invitations will be sent by the Treasury Department to all National banks In the country. The full programme has not been completed, but v. ill be arranged early in April. It is believed that the con ference will give an opportunity for the clearing up of a good many points which may be of Importance in financial transactions of the near future, and also will bring about an Interchange of ideas among prominent financiers. Americans Frame QneHes. South American representatives who exnect to oartlclDate in the sessions are considering and framing questions that are to be given consideration. It is believed by business men tnai one thing that can be aone to advan tage at the convention will be the dis f th actual basis of trade between the United States and South American countries. There is a gen eral belief in well-informed quarters that Urira nrmflnlnt Cain in South American business can be made unless it is based on North American capital advanced to meet South American needs in the same way and perhaps approxi mately to the same extent as was true of German and British capital Deiore the breaking out of the war. nth.r, itenltna to Anpnnt this Doint of view fully, and it is admitted that au thoritative expressions on me pan 01 leading South American financiers will be needed to furnish the decisive word on the subject. Estimate May Be Required. If, as expected by many, it turns out United States must finance the indus tlral needs of those nations of the southern continent with which she ex pects to trade freely or predominantly, it will undoubtedly be important for Americans to get an approximate esti mate of the total amount of funds likely (n ha annnallv needed for this DUrDOSe. juts as the international indebtedness of the United States had to be figured last Autumn Dy American oaiiKers be fore progress could" be made by them ArrH an ocnralu IHfA nf the lAnirth of time requisite for settling the in debtedness tnrougn surpluses 01 ex ports over imports. A good deal will doubtless be brought out in discussion on this whole topic of investment and lending as a founda tion of international trade. - PASSENGER TRAVEL GOOD Transcontinental Railroads to Do Kecord-Breaking Business. "Transcontinental railroads will do a PORTLAND Yrj " . '..1 L r- w i...nrii nimm 1 1 1111 ir nr mil iH fcs . T-mn record breaking passenger business this year," says W. T. Kenney, oi oi Paul, traffic vice-president ol the Great Northern who was in Portland yesterday, "but the same cannot be said of the freight business." Mr. Kenney is on a tour of the Great Northern system lines. He left Saturday night over the Southern Pacific for California, where he will meet I W. Hill, chairman and president of the Great Northern. Both he and Mr. Hill will return to Portland within a few weeks after visiting the California expositions. "Not until the lumber business im proves will the railroads enjoy normal traffic conditions," said Mr. Kenney. "The lines serving the Northwest are feeling the present slump in the lum ber trade particularly. Perhaps when the European war is settled conditions will become better. ' "So far as the agricultural Interests are concerned, the situation is extreme ly bright," concluded Mr. Kenney. "They will put this out in wheat, and if present prices continue the farmer will be prosperous. That ought to help everybody a little." Mr Kenney predicts that the move ment of tourist passengers to the Pa cific Coast this year will break all records. The California fairs will be the principal magnets. Then the fact that travelers are unable to go to Europe will serve as an additional in centive. ... T Mr. Kenney Is accompanied by M. J. Costello, of Seattle, assistant traffic Peter' Home President of Sellwood Bank. manager, and Arthur W:" Street, of New York, general Eastern freight agent. MINERS BUYING VESSEL ALASKANS PROPOSE TO PROSPECT NEAR CAPE WITH TINY CRAFT. Gasoline Schooner Enterprise Wanted by Gold Seekers for Trip to Coast of South America. Negotiations have been about con cluded whereby the gasoline schooner Enterprise, now at the foot of East Main street, has been purchased by two experienced Alaska miners who will use the craft to urospect along the coast of South America, entering the Straits of Magellan. If the negotiations succeed the En terprise will be the smallest American ship to carry the flag of this country so far from home, for she measures only 58 feet long, 14-foot beam, has a 40-horsepower gasoline engine ana is about 15 tons register. The distance to travel would be 6500 miles. The Enterprise is about 9 years old and was purchased last year by Her bert Casiday, master of the gasoline schooner Mirene. The Enterprise was built by R. p. Hume, of Bogus River, to carry freight between Kogue Kiver and Coos Bay. It was said that the Enterprise brought J3000 worth of Portland prop erty in exchange. Captain Casiday is away. Chief Engineer Connie Johns, of the Mirene, said that the Enterprise would change nanas lor tne fcoum American voyage as soon as Captain Casiday was assured that the title to the property he would receive in ex change was clear. The Enterprise is now being over hauled. Marine Notes. The new spacious quarters of the Merchants' Exchange on the ground floor of the Board of Trade building will probably be occupied by next Sun day. E. W. Wright, manager, had men working on the job yesterday to ac celerate the finishing.

Elder left for Coos Bay and Eureka yesterday morning witn a large passenger list and average freight. Kerr, Gifford & Co. are said to have chartered the Norwegian " steamer Christian Bors.

It also says that In 21 trips fishermen in small boats obtained 850, 000 pounds of halibut valued at 24,O00. This report is not fully correct, ac cording to Captain Voeth. who said yes- larger than reported by the Govern ment and would require at least an other season of the Albatross to ascer tain their exact siie.

"On the Gazelle, however, we never picked up a set line without finding halibut in profitable quantities. "The Decorah has Just been com pletely overhauled and will commence fishing as soon as weather permits, providing there is a market in Portland.
