HOMES ARE FILTHY, DAMP Conditions in New York Tenement Districts No Worse Than Here, Declares Health Officer. Tnusual spread of contagious dis eases in Portland is due, to great ex tent, to the unsanitary condition in which hundreds of Portland residents are housed. Throughout the city are : families ranging from three to eight persons, who maintain their homes in dark, damp and dirty basements two rooms in most instances wher light rarely ever penetrates and where pure air is a luxury. Such is the condition found by City Officer Parrish after days of investi gation, and the only remedy which can be offered is the building of hun dreds of small cottages in the suburbs of the city which can be offered to rent to people who are now forced to accept unfavorable locations, and, according to Dr. Parrish, pay exces sive rents for them. Aaniri Cannot Be Had. "The majority of the sick whom we visit' now," said Dr. Parrish, "are persons housed in one and two rooms in basements or shacks. Not only are these places filthy, dark, damp and miserable in every respect, but no facilities of any kind are available, which might be used in the care of such people. "It is almost impossible to obtain nurses who are willing to subject themselves to such conditions, and as a result, when one person becomes the victim of a contagious disease in such quarters, it follows that every mem ber also becomes ill. "Portland people unaware of these homes would gasp with astonishment could they visit some of them. Condi , ; - tions in notorious Tenement districts .' of New York are not a whit worse r..:th.in in some of these basement 'apartments' in Portland." , C'ottngen Are Advocated. i Dr. Parrish plans to submit a com - plete report to- the city council, rec- ommending that some active steps be taken to bring about a revival of -z building small cottages for people '-" now housed in improper places. ' --- The city health officer also ex pressed discouragement over the fail ure of the city council to provide funds with which to construct a con- j tagious hospital. If Portland had an -. adequate contagious hospital, he said, - ' people who are ill and quartered in '--basement rooms, could bo removed o - and given proper care, thus avoiding a spread of disease. llonpitnl Facilities Inadequate. Portland, with an estimated popu- -lation of 350,000, has but 1050 hos- . pital beds, with no provision for handling contagious cases under one --- roof. Influenza cases are cared for . at the barracks in South Portland, in a makeshift manner; smallpox pa - tients are removed to the jail quarters of Kelly Butte rockpiie, while other contagious patients who have no facilities at home are removed to rrthe contagious ward of St. Vincent's . - hospital, whpre for more than two years the authorities have threatened to refuse to care for such persons, but always have finally consente'd to treat - them. Under present arrangement. - " the contagious ward at the hospital .""Twill operate until the end of the spring season, when the hospital au thontics have decided the arrangc- merits must end. Members of the city council claim - no money is available for the pro- posed contagious hospital, and in th --meantime cases of contagious dis ; cases become greater in number each day, according to Dr. Parrish. ; upon his return to Tacoma.

PRICE IS NOT CHANGED Interior Mills Find Eastern Outlet for Their Product Demand for Wheat Has Not Revived. The grain corporation bought more flour yesterday than last week, but By no means its usual quantity. Offerings were lighter than usual and only a part of the flour offered was taken, the other bids being re Jected as too high. The flour purchased, it Is understood, was at the old price of $10 a barrel, alongside ship. The mills In. the Interior appear- to be finding an eastern outlet for their flour and this, it Is said, accounts for the smaller offerings to 'the government. The wheat market was quiet in th northwest. No demand from coast mill was reported. Dealers offered to sell soft wheat at 20 cents premium but farm- era, as a rule, were off the market. Min neapolis wheat was 5 cents higher. Coarse grains were also quiet but th undertone of the market was firmer. Corn bids were SO cents higher at the Mer chants' Exchange and clipped oats were up 11.50. There -were no bids for sacked oats or barley. Regarding the corn market in Great Britain as affected by the exchange sit uatlon, Broomhall cables: 'Corn stocks are only moderate and merchants are holding their supplies for the reason that no sales of Plate are possible at prices anywhere near the max imum. The drop in the rate of ex change has had the tendency to advance prices in the United Kingdom. During the next two months Europe will face small stocks and a strong demand, due to the cold weather. Yellow Plate on the Buenos Ayres market Is not firmly held, Given good weather until harvest and plenty of help we will no doubt see large crop. However, if exchange rates do not improve, the crop will do nobody very much good. The Importation of for eign oats is nearly at a standstill. Native grades are firmly held and the demand is greatly. in excess of the supply." Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Portland.

E. CUNNINGHAM President DR. E. T. HEDLUND , Vice-President VV. B. POTTER 2d Vice-President GEO. T. DREIS. . . -. .Treasurer CHARLES GRAFE Secretary DEPOSITORY NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL BANK The Western States Finance Company has the following powers : To loan money secured by .mortgages on personal property, or real estate, also to buy, sell and deal in bonds, notes or loans secured by mortgages, or other licn on personal property or real estate ; also as principal or agent to purchase, hold, improve, sell or exchange real estate ; also to purchase, sell and deal in notes, bonds, stocks, securities or investments of any kind with full power to borrow such moneys as it may require, for the purpose of its business, to buy and sell any kind'of property, either real or personal. The broad scope of its corporate powers insures constant flexibility in placing its funds in profitable channels of investment SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES While the possibilities of investing the company's funds are many and varied, there are a few very attractive fields of operation open at the present time. 1. One of these is underwriting approved issues of stocks and bonds in cases where the company can make a good profit on the turn-over of its money. 2. Financing commercial and industrial concerns on their trade acceptances and time-payment paper, when the same is secured by ample collateral of undoubted value. 3. One of the most profitable fields is that of purchasing from responsible dealers deferred payment paper on automobiles, trucks and tractors which have been sold. Such paper, carrying the endorsement of the dealer, together with that of the company, can readily be resold, thus obtaining more funds for investment. EXPENSE OF OPERATION Tile ordinary overhead expense of a business of this nature is comparatively small, because no plant or extensive equipment is necessary. The operating expense should be lower than that of the average banking insti tution. A. by-law of the company, amendable only by the stockholders, is as follows : ARTICLE VIII. SALARIES and FEES. The total amount expended for salaries of officers and fees of directors shall not in the aggregate exceed in any one year three per ' cent of the actual paid-in preferred capital stock of this corporation.
