'. ; They come from consular agencies of . " the United States, and no agency nas " fccen too remote to send the desired r information. As a result, a mass of information - 1 as been assembled that serves to guide ' the box manufacturers of the Pacific Joithnest in determining their ability to compete in the world s markets. Several Survey Proposed. This world's survey of the box shook market is one of a number of concrete attempts. proceeding from several sources, to get Oregon industries on a permanent yeararound basis. Of these : attempts, the State University's depart ment of industrial survey has several under way. One is a world survey, of Ibe market for condensed milk, which looks ahead to ultimate great expan sion of the dairy industry. Another is a world survey of the canned and dried fruit market, which looks - to saving and building up the vast orchard in dustry upon which Oregonians have embarked since 1905. Considerable work is being done also upon poiaio markets. ' The scope of the box shook inquiry is shown by the names of places from which consular agencies have so far reported. A few of them are: Manr Consulate Report. Johannesburg, Union of South Africa: ; Glasgow and Dunfermline, Scotland;' " Itio de Janeiro. Brazil; Barcelona, Spain; Liverpool, Bristol, Huddersfield, r Stoke-on-Trent. Leeds. Birmingham and other cities in England: Hankow ; and Canton. China: Vladivostok. Si . beria: Freetown, Sierra Leone. Africa; Teneriffe. Canary Islands: Tcgucigal- pas, Honduras; v Turin. Catania and other cities of Italy: Valetta. Malta; Amsterdam. Holland: Daiien. Man c-huria: Sydney. Australia; Barran fiuilla. Colombia and Guayaquil. Ecuador. The survev was inaugurated amon the University School of Commerce, ot which H. B. Miller, of Portland, is di- rector: the Northwestern Association of Box Manufacturers, of which J. B. Knann. of Portland, is manager, and the United States Consular Service.

"The attention of the Northwest box manufacturers is being called to the prospective good markets, and we are establishing a correspondence with the consumers or importer represented in the markets reported upon. ' said Man ager Knapp. to whose association the data arc referred by Director Miller. "When all replies have been received, it is our intention to prepare a chron ological statement of the requirements of the principal box markets so as to make the information immediately available in tangible form. Probably we shall also prepare a world map. indicating the box shook requirements 'f all markets reported and by a color sjs'eni indicate the ability of North west manufacturers, to ship to these markets." SeMndlnmla AYorat Competitor. Oregon and Washington find their principal competition in box shooks from Scandinavia. Quebec and possibly Japan. The Norwegian woods produce a strong, odorless box shook, and as Inner is cheaper in the European for ests and mills and on the European dorks than correspondingly in the Pa cific NnrthH-est. the Scandinavian coun tries have so far had the bulk of the trade in Northern European countries. "The aliie of this survey is two fold: it shows us where the business is and it shows us where the busi ness isn't. Of the two. I believe the latter is the move valuable. It wouldl Jiavo cost our box shook manufactur ers thousands of dollars to amass In- mviduaiiy trie information that has been collected and furnished by these dozens of consuls for the University J-n-hool of ( ommcrcc." said George M. Cornwall, editor of the Timberman. Price Kailr Figured. "When thi Information ) classified ana i ui iu.-ikmi t.v a mill man. he checks up tne transportation item, and knows immediately at what price he can lay down his box shooks in a given con sular district. From the consular data le knows the prevailing price charged in that district by foreign competi tors. If he can compete he knows what to do: if not, he has wasted no money prospecting. "It will take time to develop defi nite markets as a result of this sur vey, but slowly and surely the mar kets will come. The item of trans portation and rates must be worked out simultaneously. "One of the revelations in this sur vey is the market for barrel staves and barrel material." said H. B. Miller, director of the survey. "This is well worth careful investigation by the barrel manufacturers here. We shall be glad to fiit nish them with a list of users aud dealers." i - t- III LSI lilt 7!itttB 1 mm CYCLE 'COPS' ALEBT "Motorbike" .Patrolmen Min ute Men of Department. MANY BURGLARS.

City Treasurer Adams sounded the electric burglar alarm connected with tne police station late one night last Winter. The first alarm was yet ringing when Motorcycle Patrolmen Gould stone and Crane rolled their machines out of the police garafre and set off for the City Hall at top speed. Jerk ing their revolvers loose in the hol sters while speeding the several blocks distance, for they knew nothing of what was wrong, the two motorcycle men rushed up the steps of the City Hall almost before Mr. Adams had reached the door. "Two and one-half minutes since I sounded the alarm." said Mr. Adams smiling. "Guess the safe is pretty well guarded." "Half a minute later the police tour ing car arrived with a squad of offi cers under Captain Inskeep. This in cident illustrates the work of the mo torcycle squad.
