More buyers registered than on the first day last year; more buyers from outside the state or Oregon than ever before; and talk of prosperity In the trade territory which indicates bigger business than ever before, were the outstanding features yesterday in the opening of the fourth annual Buyers' week under the auspices of the Board of Trade and the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Last year there was a total of 699 buyers registered from cities outside of Portland, and yesterday's registra tion reached more than half that num ber, with scores of cities not repre-" sented whose merchants have an nounced that they would be here with out fail. The total registration yesterday was more than 800, or twice the number of registrations on the opening day of Buyers' week last year. "There Is every Indication that the attendance this year will far exceed that of any previous year since the Buyers' week was Instituted," said M. E. Smead, secretary to Manag-r Hardy, of the Chamber, yesterday. The registration is in charge of E. N. Weinbaum, with W. E. Conklin and J. W. Brewer assisting him. Privileges Are Accorded. Each visiting buyer on registration receives a badge, a directory of the firms which are entertaining during Buyers' week, a programme for the week and a coupon ticket entitling the -holder to enjoyment of all of the at tractions that have been provided by the local Jobbers and manufacturers for the benefit of the visiting buyers. The coupon carries also guest privi leges of the Y. M. C. A., Press Club and Chamber of Commerce. The directory of firms given out con tains space on which purchases may be noted and will be turned in when the buyer is ready to return home, and If the purchases exceed $500. railroad fare for the purchaser w!U be re funded. Entertainment Is Appreciated. Many of the visiting merchants are declining to take advantage of the re fund of railway fare, declaring that the - opportunity to form personal acquaintances with the Portland deal ers and the generous entertainment that is afforded while there are here more than repays the expense of the fare. The first man to register yesterday was George F. Beckman, of Lewiston, Idaho, who was on hand at 7:30 for the opening of the registry, and who brought a story of prosperity in the Inland Empire that was connrmed by every other buyer that came. Big crops, business beginning to boom and growing optimism among the people, they all declare, indicate the impor tance of laying in liberal stocks in all of the stores in the cities of the Inland Empire. Anaconda Reported Booming. "Anaconda is booming," said J. E. Golden, from Montana, "and that is why I am here. I had to come to lay in stocks to meet the demands that prosperity brings." "There will be the biggest crop in 25 years east of the Mountains," said Oeorge Thompson, of Heppner. "and we look for a fine year of business, with all the farmers prosperous." Many of the huyers have attended every Buyers' week since it was in stituted and express their 'intention of continuing to come to Portland each year as long as it continues to be held. There are besides these a great manyi new visitors who have been at tracted either by the representations of fellow merchants who have attended previous Buyers' weeks, or by the ad vantages that have been held out be fore them In the present year's an nouncement. .

The -petitions will not be filed until within the time allowed by law, so that ths matter can be voted upon at the general Fall election, thus avoiding the necessity and expense of a special elec tion. . 11 i .
