Mcrcliants Exchange Compiles Fig
ures Showing Volume of
Port's Commerce,
The tonnasra of vessels entered and
cleared at Portland harbor during
the year Just closed showed an in
crease of nearly 100 per cent over
tonnatre figures for the year 1920,
according to a report compiled yes
terday by Fred W. Clark, manager
of the Merchants Kxchanice. Every
month during the year showed a big
inercaso over the same month of
Vessel in tho foreign and domestic
trade which entered Portland harbor
during tho year 1921 numbered 007,
with an a'grffrcgate lonnasri ot 2.523,
3.18, according to Mr. Clark's figures.
The preceding year 667 vessels, with
a total tonnage of 1,363,333 entered
the harbor.
During the year just closed a total

ous foreign and domestic ports. Ves

total tonnage of 1,409,531.
The fact that larger vessels than
ever before aro now operating In
Portland's trade with both foreign
and domestic ports is another signifi
cant feature. Although the tonnage
figures wero nearly doubled during
the year, the number of vessels en
tering and clearing increased at a
.smaller ratio, although there is still
a substantial increase.
Ninety-two vessels entered Port
land harbor during December, 1921.

ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 1. (Special.)
The year 1921 was a quiet one for the
lumber industry In this district, but
so far as the manufacturing end of
the industry is eoncerned, this sec
tion was not as hard hit by the de
pression in the trade as were some
other parts of the tate.
j Except the Clatsop Lumber com
pany's plant, which was closed dur
ing the entire year, and the Astoria
Box company's sawmill, which was
destroyed by fire shortly before July
1, all the local plants were in opera
tion continuously. The total cut is
only about 31.09.0fl0 feet less than
that for the year 1920 and amounts to
approximately 347.000,000 feet of lum
ber. The combined payrolls of the
several lumber manufacturing: plant?
In this district amounted to about
$3,460,000, and tho market value of
the output of the plants was in the
neighborhood of J 10.410.QO0.
The outlook for the coming year In
the lumber manufacturing: line is en
couraging. Not only are all the pres
ent, plants planning to operate full
time, but the Clatsop l,umber com
pany's plant has been purchased by
the Astoria Box company and will re
sume operations on January '1. The
recently organized Young's Bay Lum
ber company has its plant in opera
tion cutting: alder, and Is to start a
larpre shingle mill at once.
In addition to these, the Trouty
Lumber company is constructing a
modern sawmill, planing mill and
box factory at Warrenton, and It Is
understood that work will soon be
commenced on tho erection of an
other large shingle mill in Astoria.
The logging end of the Industry
was- much harder hit than was the
manufacturing department. A num
ber of the logging camps were closed
for several months early in the year,
while others did not operate at all.
The result was that the payrolls 'of
the losiing" companies, which in 19-0
amounted to more than 14.000,000,
were approximately $1,800,000 for the
year 1921.

THOUSANDS DIE IN FLOOD

Hundreds of Thousands of Teople
Lert Homeless and Starving
by Latest Disaster.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1. Floods
sweeping over vast aertions of China
and followed by famine have killed
thousands and "left hundreds of thou
sands starvinB.
This was the" message received Fri
day by the Episcopal department of
missions from Rev. Edmund J. Lee.
secretary of the international fam
ine relief committee at Ahnwel.
The Yellow river, which last Aug
ust overnowea its Danas, imamns
large part of the province of Shan
tung, apain'Tias risen, tnis time tui
erins frreat tracts in Shantung. Ki
an?su and Ahnwei, and finding a
new outlet to the sea.
"So suddenly did the flood come
that great numbers were unable to
escape," wrote the clergyman.
"Whole villages were swept away
and thousands were drowned.
"In Ahnwei province the Hwal
river burst its banks'fend has become
one great inland sea. Large parts
of 13 counties are submerged, the
flooded area comprising about 10,000
square miles."
Other reports received at Episcopal
headquarters indicated that several
lakes had been formed over tracts
formerly under cultivation and that
it was impossible to drain many sec
tions. This would mean that the dis
possessed would be unable to return
to their ruined villages and would be
dependent on famine relief the rest
of the winter.

Gigantic Project Will Require 20
Tears for Completion and
Billions of Marks.
MUNICH. Germany, Jan. 1. (By the
Associated -Press.)' A corporation
with an Initial capital of 1.200.000,000
marks has been organised for the con

ta be erected, designed to supply
2.500.000.000 akilowata of power an
hour, at an estimate of 3.000,000
marks' worth of coal every year.

ceeding year. k .
To the investor in securities this record is a guarantee
of high quality, and all that is best in investments. To

continuing service in connection with it the collection
of coupons, the ready salability of your bond, its con
version into other forms of security, notice of calls for
payment, collection of the bond itself at maturity, and
at -all times conscientious, experienced advice con
cerning it.
All this may not seem valuable to you today, but what
will it mean to you five or ten years from now?
This valuable protection is part of the service that this
bank offers its customers. It is our endeavor to provide
those who deal with us with the highest type of securi
ties anywhere available at the lowest prices obtainable.
We invite you to make use of these facilities.

The Clearing House is primarily a means of
expediting business.
Every Bank receives many checks drawn on
other banks in the same city and they in turn
receive checks drawn on the first bank.
Formerly messengers from each bank made
the rounds of all the other banks, delivering
checks and collection currency, a slow and risky
system.
Now the representatives of all Clearing House
banks meet together and exchange these checks,
a bank paying or receiving merely the differ
ence between the total checks it holds on all
other member banks, and the- total checks held
by other banks against it.
The Hibemia is one of the seven members of
the Portland Clearing House.
