cial.) The deal recorded yesterday by
which the Mason County Logging Com-,
pany purchased 2054.17 acres of timber
land from the Rainier Investment Com
pany is the largest made In this county
in years. The total valuation, judging
from the revenue stamps on the deed,
was about $405,000.

company purchased 968.13 acres from
the Puget Mill Company at about
$73,000. The valuation given on the
assessor's rolls is $109,295. This is
supposed to be 60 per cent of the actual

nearly twice the assessor's value based

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, July S. Reviewing business
conditions In the Northwest the Fed
eral Reserve Board. In Its monthly
bulletin, sys:
"The lumber industry i depressed
and lack of bottoms hampers exports,
although the report comes from Port
land of several million feet of clear
spruce taken at advancing prices for
European account. It is asserted that
business conditions in the Northwest
cannot be good until lumber and
shingles, on which the principal pay
rolls there depend, can be marketed at
a protit. As elsewhere, chief attention
to the major industry results in a
feast or a famine. Famine Impels di
versification and one element of this
has been the recent rapid develop
ment of hog-ralslng. Formerly the
pork consumed was almost wholly
shipped in. This and other meats are
now almost entirely local.
"The livestock Industry Is prosper
ous. Wool is being contracted for at
high prices. Large numbers of range
horses have been sold to Europe at
fancy priced. Barley is reported in
excellent condition. Apparently for
lack of ships, the barley taken for
Europe must go by rail to the At
lantic seaboard. Wheat acreage has
been importantly Increased. The un
usual May rains made the hay crop
probably the heaviest In 10 years and
most favorable to livestock and dairy
ing. Large amounts of butter are be
ing shipped to Australia."

JOHN W. BLODGETT FINDS PROS
PECT FOR TRADE GLOOMY.
Eastern Director of Lsmbrrmri'i a
tlonal Bank Declares Repeal of
Same Laws Necessary.
John "W. Blodgett. of Grand Rapids,
Mich, a director of ths Lumbermen's
National Bank and one of the largest
timber owners and operators in the
Pacific Northwest, baa been a Portland
visitor during the past week and he
pointed out the need that something be
done to restore prosperity to the lum
ber business.
He declared it is In a bad condition
and that the Pacific Northwest cannot
return to prosperous times until this,
its chief Industry. Is again on Its feet.
He advocates first of all a policy
toward the railroads that will admit
of their resuming business on a larger
scale, so that they may aid In making
business good again.
"The purchasing power of the rail
roads as regards lumber has been prac
tically destroyed." said Mr. Blodgett.
Construction of rail lines that marked
the period of rivalry between the Har
rlman and Hill interests was the great
est In the history of this section of
the country and Is now a thing of the
past. There has been little construc
tion sines that rivalry ceased. The
railroads and the car-building com
panies are the biggest users of lumber
and since they have had their credit
undermined by attacks, legislative and
otherwise, they are hard put to It -to
maintain themselves, so that exten
sions are out of the question.
"Correct the tariff that makes lum
ber and other products free and repeal
the La Follette seaman's bill. Repeal
all laws that retard prosperity and
check the country's development. At
least give American capital and energy
a chance to win their way to safety
and prosperity. Apply these remedies
to the depressed condition of business
generally and times will be good
again."

PORTLAND MAN GIVES VIEW
Edward Cooklngham FalIs to See
Advantage of Membership in
Federal Reserve System or
Practicability at Present.
Whether state banks will Join with
National institutions in the Federal
reserve system Is a problem to which
financiers, as well as officials of the
currency, are giving much thought.
Up to the present National banks alone

have availed themselves of the ad
vantages offered them by the new
system. Whether It offers equal ben
efits to state banks is still a moot
question.
That state banks function differently
from National institutions, with differ
ent Individuality and interests, making
membership In the Federal reserve sys
tem. In Its present form, not wholly
practicable for state banks. Is the be
lief, briefly, of Edward Cookingham,
vice-president of Ladd & Tilton Bank.
As this Is probably the blggetft state
bank in the Pacific Northwest, his
ideas on the subject are of much In
terest. In discussing the subject, he
said:
"For some time past the Federal Re
serve Board has been engaged in for
mulating and has recently made pub
lic a set of rules and regulations gov
erning the entry of state banks into
the Federal system. The great Impor
tance of this question, both to the Fed
eral system and the state banks them
selves, has made it one of absorbing
interest ever since the passage of the
Federal reserve act.
' State Hank Members Desired.
"It is quite certain that the mem
bers of the Federal Reserve Board are
fully aware of the importance and de
sirability of constructing a strong, co
hesive and unified banking system,
which shall include not only the 7500
National banks of the country, but also
a large majority of the 17.000 bank
ing Institutions operating under state
charters. The board Is sincere and
even enthusiastic In Its desire to de
vise a practicable plan by means of
which membership In the new system
may be made attractive to these state
banks.
"Examination of the regulations just
Issued Indicates that the board has
sought to make the acquirement of
membership by state banks practica
ble. One of the factors which has op
erated heretofore to a serious extent
against entry of the state banks has
been the fact that, under the law. there
seemed to be no method by which state
banks could retire from the system,
sfter becoming members, in the event
of their finding it Impracticable to
operate successfully under the provi
sions of the act and such regulations
as might be made in future by the
Federal board.
"This objection the board has sought
to remove by making a provision en
abling state banks, which desire to
do so, to relinquish their membership.
However. In spite of this. It Is my view,
broadly stated, that the ' regulations
which the board has Issued will not
result in an extensive influx of state
bank a
Difficulty Held FwadameataL
"The difficulty is a fundamental one
and lies in the radically different
methods which have characterized the
operations of the state and National
Institutions, respectively, for yeara
The old National bank act and the laws
of the various states have differed
widely as to tho character of business
which the two classes of Institutions
are permitted to handle. This differ
ence having extended back over many
years, naturally the divergence has
become general, and it is practically
Impossible, especially with such con
ditions as now exist, for the state In
stitutions to change the character of
their business to conform to the provi
sions of the law and to resrulatlons
to which they have never heretofore
been subjected. The business of the
stats banks having been built up on
different lines. It cannot easily be re
constructed In a summary manner to
conform to new requirements.
"Of course, the state institutions
cannot expect that the Federal board

will promulgate regulations which
would give them an advantage over
the National banks, but It has been
my view that unless and until the
Federal board deals with the state In
stitutions as a class, separate and dis
tinct from the National' banks, com
paratively few of the state banks will
enter the system.
Recearlllag Clasaea Ssigcslsd.
"The reconcilement of the business
of the two classes of banks can per
haps only be accomplished by broad
ening somewhat the operations of the
National Institutions and curtailing
slightly those of the state banks, thus
putting both classes of institutions
more nearly upon a uniform basis.
"Under tha new regulations the Fed
eral Reserve Board reserves the right
to make such amendments and adopt
and Issue from time to time such fur
ther regulations authorised by the act
as the board may deem necessary. This
regulation somewhat clouds with un
certainty what the exact status of the
state banks will be after they shall
have become members of tha system.
Inasmuch as they have no means of
knowing whether such future regula
tions as the board might Issue would
affect the business of the state Insti
tutions unfavorably. However, Inas
much as the National Institutions are
subject to such regulations as the
board may make. I think the stats In
Uutlons would ba safe In relying upon
the integrity and fairness of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, the members of
which are both able and high-minded.
"Although It is my opinion that the
Federal reserve act has some defects,
I recognise Its great value and Its
vsst Importance over our old National
bank act. I sincerely hope the efforts
of the Federal board to unify the
banks of the country under one pow
erful system may be J-e warded by suc
cess, but I fear that tha new regula
tions Issued will not result In this de
sideratum, at least for the present. I
have not yet been able to discover any
Indications of a general movement on
the part of the state Institutions of
the country to enter the system.
"I have not endeavored to give In de
tail the various reasons which actuate
the officials of state Institutions In
hesitating to avail themselves of the
opportunity to enter the Federal sys
tem, for the reason that It would In
volve lengthy explanations, some more
or less technical In character, which
It would take considerable space and
time to enumerate.
FINANCIAL SKY CLOUDY
BAJT FRANCISCO BANK'S LETTER IN
DICATES PROBLEMS IX FlTl'RE,
Inability to Obtala Settlement for Com.
anodltlea Betas; Exsorttd Con
sidered Kmbarrasslag.
"Lopsided Is the word applied to
the financial situation by the American
National Bank of an Francisco In Its
latest monthly letter. Despite Immense
trade balances In favor of this country
that are rapidly piling up because of
the great war demand abroad, great
stores of money In the banks, bumper
crops In sight, with an actual scarcity
of skilled Isbor at some points. It might
be predicted. It Is said, that a period
of great prosperity Is in. sight, were It
not for the fact that these usual In
dications of prosperous conditions fall
In war times.
The large trade balance may easily
be viewed as an embarrassment Instead
of a great asset. It Is declared, by rea
son of the fact of Inability to obtain
settlement In either gold or securities,
and the menace to the exchange market
that the situation holds.
"Our bumper crops, while gratifying
from any point of view." says the let
ter, "are assuring only as fsr as home
consumption goes, as the export situa
tion la unsatisfactory from various
angles, such as excessive freight rates,
scarcity of tonnage and the uncertainty
of exchange.
"Money Is plentiful and cheap, but
only In financial centers, which has a
tendency to Increase stock market
speculations and curtail dividends of
those banks which are customarily
large buyers of commercial paper or
loaners of money on call.
"The approach of the export fruit
shipping season presents a problem to
packers and brokers quite apart from
the ordinary. Their profits or losses
this year will, to a greater extent than
at any time In the history of the trade
depend upon their ability to cope with
an exchange market which, from day
to day. Is giving evidence of having
no bottom."
