CROPS RAISE HOPES
Vice-President of Typewriter
Company Optimistic.
WEST'S PROGRESS LAUDED
Cliarles AV. Hand Says Improvement
Ik oticcablc Ercrytrhero and
Beauties or Panama posi
tion Are Praised Highly.
Gains in business are reported and
better times predicted by Charles W.
Hand, of New York City, vice-president
of the Underwood Typewriter Company,
who visited Portland during the past
, week. He speaks from personal con
tact with large business affairs and
from close observation of conditions on
a trip just made acros the country.
"It is difficult to prophesy as to the
immediate future in financial affairs."
said Mr. Hand, "but one could hardly
travel from the Atlantic Seaboard to
the Pacific Coast without being im
pressed with the marvelous possibili
ties of the country and the immediate
prospect of relief from the condition
of the crops, and any business man
who has not faith and optimism is
hardly worth while.
"Just before leaving home I had a
conversation with a leading banker of
New York and, while he said that in
time we must share the losses of the
lOuropean war, the good crops will have
tne immediate effect of relieving the
stress and strain now apparent in this
country.
"In our own business we have felt
ncriously the curtailment of our ex
port business, but the domestic busi
ness since last August has been
phenomenally good and each month
since January has shown a marked im
provement and the volume of business
is steadily approaching a normal con
dition. "I have been impressed with the sta-
bllity of things on the Pacific Coast,
by the energy of its people and the pos
sibilities of its future. I can hardly
make myself believe that when we ex
hibited at the Lewis and Clarke fair,
ton years ago, that there were but 90,
000 people in Portland: ten years hence
it will be one of our greatest American
cities.
"The exposition at San Francisco
calls for the admiration of the entire
country and should be given encour
agement and support. Those of the Hast
who are able to come and who do not
will De disappointed, for the wonders
of the fair are bound to reach all parts
of the country. New York City her
self will take a long time before it can
undertake anything to equal or eclipse
me fanama-i'acific Exposition.
"As to the beauties of this Western
country I have no words to describe my
feelings. When I visited Yellowstone
national Park I could not but feel that
the Maker had exhausted his resources.
Kach visit to the Coast only adds to
my admiration of the men who are
making this section of the country
what it is.
"President Underwood, f our com
pany, is coming to this Coast next
month, and I am doing everything I
can to Induce him to make his tour ol
the West as extensive as possible."

JITNEY BUS . DISCUSSED
Trust Company Pamphlet Says Elec
tric Lines' learning's Grow.
"The Evolution of the Jitney Bus" Is
the title of a pamphlet just issued by
the Fidelity Trust Company, Baltimore.
Mil., which is based on a careful survey
of the situation in the United States
and Canada, and the effect of the new
means of transportation on the older
traction corporations has been studied.
The pamphlet contains also a letter
from Sanderson & Porter, New York
ngineers, giving their views.
Reports were received by the Fidelity
Trust Company from 138 cities in all
parts of this country and Canada, and
the information given indicates tha 106
cities have jitney bus service. In 32
cities of the 138 there are no jitneys,
and In 10 of the 106 cities which have
jitneys, it is eald that the number is
decreasing.
Conclusions formed after compiling
the extensive information received on
the subject follow:
"A conclusion recently expressed in
one of the leading technical papers is
to the effect that the life of the Jitney
movement is going to be measured,' not
by the ultimate life of the machines,
mm was originally thought, but rather
by the number of drivers who can be
induced to enter the jitney service.
"A review of the situation in its en
tirety demonstrates that, despite wide
ly varying conditions in different com
munities, electric railway earnings have
shown unusual stability. The Commer
cial and Financial Chronicle presents,
in a recent issue, its annual review of
the gross and net earnings of electric
railways of the United States, pointing
out that 1914 was a year of exception
ally unfavorable business conditions
throughout the country; that steam
railroad gross earnings showed a fall
ing oft of 6.65 per. cent, and net earn
ings a contraction of 8.39 per cent, and
that, in striking contrast to these fig
ures, the reported electric railway gross
earnings showed an increase of over
$4,000,000. or 0.82 per cent, while net
earnings decreased- only half of 1 per
cent. This condition is even more not
able considering the adverse develop
ments peculiar to the electric railway
uusiuess resulting rrom jitney competi
tion."

mestic Commerce, AVho I
Visit Portland.
merce of the United States Department
of Commerce, will be in Portland June
1, on his way back from San Francisco
where he addressed the California
Stato Bankers' Association.
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, of which Dr. Pratt is the
head, is the government's agency to
promate the foreign trade of the United
States. The bureau has abroad three
field forces from which it obtains for
eign trade information: .First, the
American consular officers, who num
ber 300; second, the commercial agents
of the bureau, most of whom are spe
cialists in tome branch of commerce;
third, the commercial attaches, who are
stationed in the principal foregn coun
tries, and whose sole duty is to facili
tate commerce between the United
States and the countries to which they
are assigned.
The bureau publishes a daily trade
paper known as "Commerce Report";
tabulates and publishes statistics of
American trade with foreign countries;
translates and publishes custom tariffs
of foreign countries; publishes trade di
rectories and books on all sorts of com
mercial' subjects; and furnishes Ameri
can manufacturers and exporters defi
nite information as to opportunities to
sell their goods abroad. Sales aggre
gating millions of dollars have resulted
from information that was first placed
in the hands of American manufactur.
era by the bureau.
Of particular interest to the North
west is the stationing of commercial
attaches in China and Australia and
investigations that the bureau has been
making of lumber markets in the Far
East. The bureau also plans to make
a study of foreign markets for fruit.

$179,074. At that time 3663 claims had
been made and 3305 settled. The com
mission rejected 132 claims and paid
physicians' fees in 716 cases in which
the injured persons did not lose any
time. , -
The statement continues:
"An average of about 14 accidents
daily has been reported since the law
became effective. The Winter months
show the smallest number of accidents,
but recently they have slightly in
creased. The steady gain inpayments
to the accident fund since February
last may be regarded as an -indication
of an Improvement in the industrial
activity of the .state.
"One amendment to the law provides
for exemption from payment for one
month at a time whenever the commis
sion finds the condition of the accident
fund is sufficient to provide for all
liability and a safe surplus in addition.
While it is now apparent that no pay
ments will be required In July from
employers and workmen who have been
subject to the act for six months or
more this will not be officially de
termined by the commission until July
30."

Lumbermens National Bank, fathered a
resolution adopted by the bankers of
Group 1 of the Oregon association
at the recent Newberg convention,

of hog clubs by boys and girls. The
bankers indorsed the movement and
voted support to young growers of
pigs for the market. The bankers
agreed to take "pig paper," if pre

provided to which the members con
form and they are enabled to borrow

to the stock, keeping a record of the
cost of labor and food, an agreement
to conrorm with the rules laid down
and not- to remove the' pigs without
permission from the one who ha ad

"Sacramento's water mains bonds,
amounting to $1,000,000. were sold
under a peculiar arrangement. These
bonds are not a legal investment for
New Tork savings banks because of
the rates and terms under which they

disposed of on a 4 Vt per cent basis. It
was agreed that the contracts for the
work would be let and the successful
bidder must buy the bonds on terms
stated.
"The successful bidder was the Shaw
Batcher Company, which is known lo
cally because that firm built the sec
ond Bull Run pipe line, and the bonds
were bought at a price reported to

of the Capital National Bank, Sacra

they will be sold mostly in the East,
