20 THE 3I0EXFNG OKEGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JxVUARY 17, 1923 INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF PORTLAND SOUND Increasing Electric Power Load Proves Progress. GAINS SHOWN BY SURVEY Manufacturing Slump Attributed to Post-War Conditions More Xhan Offset by Expansion. Portland Is continuing Tn substan tial growth In spite of economic dis turbances, was the assertion yester day of W. H. Crawford, manager of the department of industries of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. "While the post-war slump hit rnany communities a terrific blow, Portland's record has been good com Jiared with other cities," Mr. Craw ford said. 'i have just completed a survey of the power load supplied by the electric companies serving this community and it is extremely gra tifying. There is no jtter method of learning the bUHirtjAS activity of the community than through a study of such figures." Power Load Increasing. Mr. Crawford BaW that - whereas the population is increasing at the rate of about 6 per cent a year, an . average of 7 per cent net electric power load accretions per annum liave been obtained in the most try ing period In Portland's industrial history. "It is the diversity of our manu facturing lines that has caused this fine record," Mr. Crawford continued. "Compare, for example, the first two weeks of November, 1921, with the flrHt two weeks of 1919. We find an increase of 14 per cent in kilowatt hours generated and sold." This increase in the use of electric power came in spite of the fact that during the two years mentioned many plants closed and others cut their jiower demands practically to noth ing. Mr. Crawford continued: Tndnstrlnl Foundntlon Strong;. ' "When it is realized that during the period from November, 1919, to November, 1921, large plants engaged in shipbuilding and allied industries closed down completely; when it Is .discovered that the total loss of busi ness amounted to something like 3.00.000 kilowatt hours a month; when on top of this loss, it is dis covered that the steady, uniform growth of the power business made up by small lncrenses scattered over a widely diversified list of local manufacturing plants, it indicates what a substantial Industrial founda tion underlies our industrial pros perity. "Iurlng the period above men tioned, one plant that used 500.000 Kilowatt hours during the first two weeks of November, 1919, disappeared entirely from the list In 1921. An other plant using - 275,000 kilowatt hours no longer appears. Still an other using 200,000 kilowatt hours Is no longer purchasing current. These are IJust a few. Other Industries SprtnK TTp. Then there are many other plants that do not show a 100 per cent loss, hut yet show very great reductions, like the case of one establishment that used 150.000 kilowatt hours the first two weeks In November, 1919, find purchased only 300 kilowatt hours the first two weeks of Novem ber. 1921. "With these figures before us, it Is difficult to realize that hundreds of other establishments have gone ahead sufficiently to iIworb the terrific loss and show an actual gain of 14 per cent. "It means that Portland has stood the test. It means that the claims for substantial, diversified Industry are well founded. "If Portland can point to a record like this during such times as we have Just gone through, what won derful destiny must He just around the corner."

V 5 ,T - r When the lawyers and politicians around the old police station used to wear plug hats and frock coata and carry canes? Only one carries a cane now. This picture of the old station, which preceded the one now standing at Second and Oak streets, was taken either In the '70s"r early "80s. Looking up Oak street toward Third,a barn can be seen on the oerner, where the Western Union building now stands, and across Third street there are trees and vacant lots. This building was a pretentious one In those days, more than adequate for the city's needs. Construction of it started in 1871, after .considerable con troversy in the city council. The top floor was given over to detention rooms for women; the second floor held the municipal court and the chief's office, and in the basement v. as the Jail and the assembly room for detectives and patrolmen. A single tove In the center of the basement used to heat the entire building, and around1 it gathered the police force w)jen not on duty. Every morning Joe Day still on- the force would" anger the others by poking up a roaring fire; tben with the red-hot poker he would light his pipe. One morning when he reached for the poker the wrong end was hot. The rest of the force bad a laugh and Joe stirred up no more big fires. How the boys used to throw rocks on the roof of the old roller skating rink on Fourth street near Stark, and the rumbling sound as they rolled off scared the skaters out of the building? D., F. F. Watson's schoolhouse, in Watson's addition, which was the community center for the elite of the original and only Slabtown? E. A. F. Watklns, the "dude" butcher, on Morrison street near Third? When the denizens of Oregon City and other smalltowns In Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties used to declare a holiday to come to Portland and see the periodical celebrations of Portland's volunteer fir department? E. S. W. When the fire alarm siren hsed to blow and we would stand still to count the blasts, then dig up the little card showing locations? A. U. C. When the agitators stood around the Dekum building in 1896 getting ready to Join Coxey's army? OLD-TIMER. When the Harvest Queen was -navigated over the Cascade rapids? CYCLOPS. Back in the '90s, when almost everybody yon met was whistling or trying to sing "After the Ball"? L. E. W. 54Dfl,D0D BONDS ARESDLDj WTION COUNTY ROAD ISSUE BRINGS PREMIUM.

ALL GRADES ARE HIGHER Dealers Find Buying Is More Diffi cult Nox. Sign of jEarlj - Export Trade - Ths hop market has s somewhat stronger ton because, of the pure has of a number of lots for shipment east. A week ago dealers could buy averare grades freely at 15 cents, but now growers are asking not less than 16 or 16 cents for this quality and are not pressing sale. A few cars of O reft on s were purchased, also several lots of Takima hops at the same price. There is no definite price on choice bops, as none of this grade has changed hands recently, but the best quality la held to be worth about 2o cent a The only demand up to the present time has been from domestic sources, and there la no Indication when buying for foreign account will be resumed. Exports of hops from ths TJnlted States during November last were 1,018,040 poujids ; from September 1 to November 30, 1921, 1,926,931 pounds, of which 213. 748 pounds were exported to Great Britain. 810,123 pounds to Canada, the remainder to Australia, Japan South America, South Africa and Continental European countries. CALIFORNIA BUTTER IRREGULAR Eastern Prices Firmer With Threatening Weather and LighterImport. The San Francisco bntter market fol lowed about the same course as the pre vious week with prices continuing on the down grade. Last week, however, the reatlon came later, with a net decline on 92 score of 2c from Friday to Friday, compared with decline for the first week of the year. The market was al most panicky Tuesday, following the weak eastern market and rumors that a large shipment of Australian butter was coming into Vancouver. The fact that more is also coming direct to San Francisco the latter part of ths month caused dealers to be uncertain as to future prices. How ever, Increased consumptive demand kept local receipts well' cleaned up and -cut down the surplus foreign holdings, so at the end of the week fairly heavy buying forced prices to react. Ths market closed about steady. Eastern markets opened weak and stayed that way until about the middle-of the week, then, due to dealers holding more firmly and refusing to sell at such low prices and due to threatening weather and lighter arrivals from abroad, the bot tom, was reached and there was a sharp reaction. There was a better demand for all kinds of butter and prices literally Jumped to higher levels. Much of the trade was speculative, also the buyers were carry in gs.su ch low supplies that the mln ute they thought the market was at ths bottom all scrambled to replenish stocks. Though the market was firm there was some uncertainty as to whether the new prices would hold after the buyers had again stocked up and the speculative flur ry had worn off. Receipts continue heavy and the make large. Danish cables were firmer, but New Zealand offering freely at low prices. Foreign arrivals amounted to 200 casks Danish with more expected this week. Danish cables 35c, Australian 26c and New Zealand at 23 c c. 1. f. Australian butter from San Francisco ar rived at Chicago and eastern markets but held too high for preseht prices.

CAKADA'S BUSINESS- OUTLOOK iPfS0VES v Conditions Generally Better ing, Says Banker. WAR DEBT IMMENSE ONE Dominion,- Despite Drawback, Will Emerge Stronger Than Before, Declares Financier. Business conditions throughout Canada, in the face of many diffi culties, show steady improvement, according to a statement in the Commercial and Financial Chronicle. Untoward circumstances that might lead one to believe that this state ment is not correct Include the highest monthly total of commercial failures since 1915, the embarrass ment of the Merchants' Bank of Canada, through unwise lending to stock brokers, and its virtual ab sorption by the Bank of Montreal, and the unquestioned fact that large numbers of Canadian companies, facing stagnant markets, are being carried along on extensive bank loans. Happier factors are the improve ment in exchange, the return of scores of pulp and paper mills to normal production with mills running full time, betterment in net railway earnings, returning signs of British capital Investment in Canadian enter prises and the stabilizing of public sentiment as a result of the dominion elections. More and more are Canadian business men, the statement con tinues, accepting the conclusion that the pace of recovery will be measured by inches rather than miles per hour. The general manager of the Bank of Montreal made the following; state ment recently: i Future Heavily Mortgaged. "I cannot see how we can count upon Improved conditions concur rently with the United States. Con ditions are similar in many respects but our liabilities and our mistakes are our very ow,. Aside from the cost of the war we must pay the penalty of having mortgaged our luiure in me ouuaing 01 superfluous railways and in other extravagances. "It is all very well to talk aboul our vast resources, but we as a people have pledged" these resources and wasted our substance to an ex tent only now being realized. Evi dence of this Is. first, in the great sjim of J200.000.000 annually sent abroad to meet the Interest on our debt and, secondly, our dollar is at a serious discount in the United States, with which country we trade so heavily. "The Canadian resources that remain intact are the manhood of the country and the industry and the ambition of our citizens. In these respects Canada 'still is rich, and having learned our lesson from that inexorable ' teacher, experience, we shall emerge from our difficulties in time, a wiser nation, and then pro ceed to the development of a great inheritance on a sure and sound basis, turning the experience of, the past to the advantages of the future." Debt Burden Big One. Reduced to cold statistics the financial position referred to by the banker can be expressed as follows: Net debt of Canada, J2.350.000.000. This is ten times the pre-war debt. In addition there are railway loans guaranteed by the dominion amount ing to J2o6.000.000, plus the bonded obligation of the government rail ways not directly guaranteed by the dominion government, amounting to $532,000,000. I COMPETITIOX FROM ARGEN TINA AND AUSTRALIA. Chicago Prices Sag at Opening:, Bat Russian Relief Purchases 1 Later Help. CHICAGO. Jan. Whe-at had a ten dency to tag- in prices today, owing some what to competition from tht southern hemisphere and to failure of a brokerage hiuse In New York. The clone, however, was Steady at the same as Saturday's fin ish to fee lowr, with May $1.11 to tl.Ub and July $1 to $1.00'. Corn gained a shade to c; oats lost c to H 4-e Vc and provisions finished unchanged to - cents hitfiier. With reports current of enlarged offer ings of the new crop In Australia and Argentina, wheat here showed an -absence of any aggressive buying at the outlet. After mid-day, however, buyers displayed a little more confidence and the market rallied somewhu-t. Russian relief pur chases were helpful as a stimulus at this Juncture, a was a decrease in the United Statea visible supply total. Renewal of export inquiry, together with a visible supply decrease, gave firm ness to corn. Oats declined in the absence of any spe cial demand. Increased shipments of iard helped to lift provision values despite lower quo tations on hogs. The Chicago grain letter received yes terday by the Overbedk & Cooke company of Portland follows:. Wheat After backing and filling in an irregular manner the market cloned within a small, fraction of Saturday's figures. At the outset a bearish feeling was created by foreign ad vires quoting wheat lower and saying that Argentine grain is pressing for sale at substantial discounts under Ameri can. This feeling was further augmented by a smaller decrease In the visible supply than the trade expected. A great deal of liquidation was indulged in. Offsetting the Argentine factor, both the seaboard and Winnipeg reported a good demand for Man 1 to baa with a fair sized business lift ely to be worked before the close. An an nouncement is expected to be made to morrow on purchases by the Russian relief commission, while the placing of the Greek order this week should also serve to stim ulate some buying, of futures In addition to the ordinary buying against these sales for export. Corn Started easy on .selling Inspired by the large receipts, but soon developed strength when it became apparent that spot offerings would be wanted. Receipts were 950 cars. The spot market was quot ed firm and In some instances a shade higher. The decrease of 266.000 bushels In the visible supply in face of large pri mary receipts last week emphasized how urgent the demand has been of late. A good part of today's demand was credited to export Interests, offsetting the report from New York that the Russian relief will not buy corn Wednesday as previously expected. With the market now dem onstrating Its ability to absorb such heavy selling by the country, it Is reasonable to assume that a distinct upward tendency will be seen when the Initial movement is out of the way. Oats Interest In futures was limited and the market held within a narrow range. ' Receipts of 00 cars sold at Satur day's prices. The change in the visible supply was unimportant. Rye Trade inactive with prices holding firm, due to lack of pressure. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. May ....$1.11 $ 1.11 $ I.IO14 $ 1.11 July l.OO .9914 1.00 CORN.
