Al REALTY MEN HEAR TALK iMoturc or Country. PuNatlnj; With Industry, bul Tense With I'n rrst, Masterfully Drawn. A word picture of the great Indus trial east and middle weft a country throbbing with the activity of pro duction, dizzy from a tide of high prices and fast spending its earnings and demanding products whlcn mail mum production rannot satisfy country tense with uneasiness and un rest over the possibilities of grea Industrial upheavals was drawn by Frank Branch H;ley. who yesterday held an audience at the luncheon of the Portland Realty board spellbound for nearly an hour. Mr. Kiley re cently completed a tour of the east under the auspices of the Pacific 'orthwest Tourists' association. The talk was delivered at the regu lar weekly luncheon of the board. One of the largest crowds of members and guests attending any luncheon yet this fall filled the crystal room of the Benson hotel. Mr. Kiley's sub ject was "The Amulnr East." Judge George W. Stapleti.n was the toajitmaster and presidents of the various clubs and organizations of the city had been invited. Among the guests were V. J. Hofmann. president of the Pacific Northwest Tourists as sociation: President Ira Riggs of the Progressive Business Men's club: ITe.ident A. C. Newlll of the Civic club, and President 1 P. Hewitt of the Klwanis club. Speak lag Trip Coasaletrd. Mr. Riley, in his address, told of the peaking trip which he Just recently completed throughout the east and middle west, in which he spoke every night. Including Sundays, for six weeks continuously, and addressed meetings that seldom fell below 2000 people. ,-lt seems strange the lack of knowledge which the great mass of the people have of the Pacific north west." he said. "If I had come from Mars and were telling of the canals the easterners could scarcely have shown more wonderment than they displayed as I . related some of the commonplace facts of our country. 1 think I left S0.O0O people behind me in the east who are convinced that all that is fine and beautiful In America lies in Oregon. Washington and British Columbia. And yet every thing I said was true, for you cannot exaggerate the beauties of this land of ours. Ka.t Big iBdaatrtal Plant. The east Is Just one gigantic In dustrial plant. Cities and towns and cities follow each other with scarcely any land between. Manufacturing plants are humming It hours a day and yet the best that they can do is to fill one-half of the orders from their older customers. The indus trial life and the payrolls of the east era cities is difficult to comprehend. Akron. Ohio, is a madhouse: 25.000 people in search of homes, and houses finished at the rate of 273 a month not sufficient to meet the demands." The speaker told of many of the model cities, such as Akron, which he had visited, and contrasted these with other cities where the workers lived in squalid surroundings. The whole east is a maelstrom of uneasiness and fright, he declared. Strikes are in the air and there has been a general let-down from the tension of war con ditions. A new relation is bound to be necessary, bringing employer and worker closer together, he said. Kxeeaalve IJ vlng I'sssd. The entire country is enjoying an orgy of excessive livnig. the speaker declared. The close restraint of war has been released and emotions pent up for four yeatrs are finding an out let through travel, uneasy movement from place to place and the spending of fortunes rapidly made during the wir period. Referring to the industrial activity of the east. Akron left him dixxy, he said, while no one could visit Detroit and go away wholly sane. He cited the instance of two lawyers who were forced to accept 11000 worth of shares in Henry Ford's company a few years ago because Ford had no money with which to pay them, t'n lle to realize on the stock at the t anks the two lawyers were forced to retain the stock themselves, until re cently they sold out the original stock for the sum of $14,000,000 each.

In natural opportunities Portland challenges the cities of the middle west, however, the speaker stated He forecast m heavy movement of tourists and Immigrants to this sec tion, saying that the young men of the east and middle west were book ing to the Pacific coast for the bigger and better things of life. During the business session that was held Ferdinand B. Reed intro duced a resolution, which was unani mously adopted, railing for better lighting of the city streets. Large numbers of lamp posts remain un lightrd In the heart of the city, he declared, while globes are dirty and broken. Property owners or renters of buildings should look after these lights, he declared. On Sixth street between the depot and Morrison street he declared he had recently counted 14') lamp posts without lights. This was typical of nearly all streets, he said. In view of the fact that Portland, through the efforts of Mr. Riley and others, was endeavoring to draw tourists here, he declared the city should be bright and attractive for them when they come. The resolution will be presented by Mr. Reed before other civic bodies for their approval. I . i (II fY'i'Bt iH.h.rri.i cial. ) J. C.

Labor unrest and Inefficiency are ap parently tha only clouds on the commer cial horizon, now that living cost agi tation has waned and prices seemed to have reached an equilibrium. Some old atrikes as. for Instance, that in the steel industry, have lost much of their power for unsettlement. but those of longshore men at New York and San Francisco have aimed a new blow at the copuntry's export trade, while printers and pressmen continue, apparently determined to tie Taking I up that Industry at the country's largest union control is sufficient to insure the Eastern mad Storage Eggs Are Place of Oregons.

Weekly bank clearings were $8,611,161). 000. Coffee Futures Close Lower. NEW YORK. Oct 10. The market for coffee futures snowed a fairly steady tone NEW YORK, October 10. Bull pools were in indisputea control of todays stock market, the broadest and most active ses sion in several weeks, their further op erations in miscellaneous issues being well supported by extensive buying of represen tative steels, coppers and rails. The demand for Steel preceded the pub lication of United States Steel tonnage fig ures for September, which showed an in crase of about 17,000 tons and seemed to have its basis in favorable reports from mill centers. United States Steel made an extreme gain of 2 points to 112 !4. its best price since the inception of the strike. The same considerations probably ac counted for the strength of steel and elec trical equipments, where gains of 2 to 1 points were made. Southern Pacific overshadowed the other rails, its rise ol 3 points being accom panied by the heaviest transactions in many weeks. All the prominent coppers were included in the inquiry for metals, more stable trade conditions being attended by reports of foreign buying and another advance in the quotation for the refined product. Shippings owed their irregular advance to the strength of Atlantic Gulf and United Fruit. Mexican Petro-eum featured the oils at the new high of 2M- Sales amounted to 1,675,000 shares. Bonds, excepting utilities, were steady to strong on diversified dealings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $12,450,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged oa call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Since that time. however, the federal aid has been in creased, and the request made today is for the purpose of determining if the bond issue under the Bean-Barrett act may also be augmented. Issue of bonds under the law to date totals $1,200,000. and the million dollars requested will bring the amount to $400,000 over the amount prescribed in the act. It is the opinion of Attorney-General Brown and J. M. Devers, assist ant attorney-general associated with the highway commission, that the Bean-Barrett act is of sufficient elasticity to allow the issuance of the bonds requested. Should the board of control refuse to grant the request, it is considered probable that mandamus proceedings will be instituted. i The limit of state bonded icdebt- Raker Boise Boston . . .
