Facta Are Kxagnserated Now.
The business glochn of a month ago
has been transformed into an at
mosphere of cheer, says the general
letter on trade conditions just issued
by the Merchants National Bank. The
pessimist of December is the optimist
of January. The change in sentiment
which has occurred in four weeks has
made the whole business world look
brighter and business men generally
feel more hopeful.
Disagreeable facts were exaggerated
last month, and agreeable facts are
being exaggerated now. The actual
change in conditions is not nearly as
great as the change in sentiment, borne
men believed published statements
which appeared last month that be
tween 10,000,000 and 20,000,000 men
were either out of employment alto
gether or laid off because of slowbusi
ness. As there are only about 22,000,
000 men employed in the country in all
the walks of life, the absurdity of this
statement Is apparent.
There is every promise of consider
able building In the early weeks of this
year, and lumber shipments for the
first 10 days of January wera as heavy
as for any 10 days in recent years. If
this pro-es to be a. real revival in the
lumber business, it will probably ex
tend to all building materials in time.
Building operations Jn Deoember were
slightly less in the Western states,
considerably lees In the Southern states
and much heavier In the Eastern states
than for Mecumber, 1912. Building
operations in 60 principal cities were 6
per cent less in 1313 than in 1912, and
almost 10 per cent less in the 20 lead
lng cities of the country.

power developments, one of which,
generating 37,500 horse power and com
prising the first unit in the municipal
electric system of the City of Los An
geles, has just been completed. The
moving pictures will show the aque
duct in operation at various points, and
the electrical development features of it
wlil be depicted in full.
The "movies" will be explained by
Burnett Godwin, statesman of the or
ganization in Portland, who willpre-
slde. It Is Mr. Godwin's intention to
give similar moving pictures of other
famous engineering projects at future
luncheons'.
"The luncheon, which will take place
In the blue rom of the Multnomah ho
tel at 12:15 o'clock, will not be con
fined to Jovlans alone," said Mr. God
win. "Anybody who Is Interested will

Eut after visiting for a few weeks in

Mr. Burr is much impressed rlth the
bright outlook for business in the West

generally.
