MANY BUYERS VOICE WISH TO MAKE HOMES IN CITY Portland and Oregon Country Make Deep Impression on Visitors. Idaho Men Fond of Willamette Valley. LONDON. Aug. 12. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Kngland's shopkeep ers, hotel and restaurant proprietors and head waiters say this year's American tourist crop is not of the munificent pre-war variety. Of the persons and enterprises that usually wax fat on tourists' rushes, the steamship companies are the only 4ncs which have no complaint, for as yet there is no steamship substi tute for trans-Atlantic travel and they have seldom, if ever, eclipsed this year's business. Hut once landed on Knglish soil, this year's tourist has comported himself quite differently from the old-timer who made the American traveler known for his lavish tips, reckless buying of Jewels and cloth ing and indiscriminate purchases of curioi genuine or otherwise. In stead of buying trunkfuls of ap parel here the 1922 tourist is bring ing plenty of clothing along and doing his sight-seeing from "rubber necks, charabaniea instead of from the privately hired motor cars of former years. According to the waiters, the present-day tourists have trimmed their tips to a scant 10 per cent of their bills in fact are outdone by British and continental patrons iV the matter of tipping. The hotel managers note a marked decrease in the number of American tourists who travel de luxe with their fami lies and retinues of servants. "Only a few of those most for tunately situated apparently can af- i ford to travel in such state now adays, was the plaint of one manager. One: of the of Port waa the NK of the most peculiar phases Portland's buyers' week fact that at least one out of every three visitors from dis tant points expressed the urgent de sire to move to Portland. H. L McCan. undertaker, o ' Pocatello, Idaho, was one of those who fell in love with the Oregon country. "I like the Portland market and the Portland country." he declared be fore leaving. "I am especially fond of the Willamette valley region. I'd like to invest in some land some place In the valley for. to my mmd. it is one of the most beautiful spots in the I'nited States.' Mr. McCan was here two years ago at the buy ers' week convention. This year ho passed some time at the Oregon coast resorts and vowed them un equaled. From Portland he is .go ing to California before he returns to Pocatello. The Portland market, in his estimation Is, without ques tion, the finest on the Pacific coast, if not In the west. The effects of Portland's buyers' week fashion show will be. felt heavily in the town of Bull Run. Mrs. C. F. Allen, who runs the gen eral store and the hotel at Bull Run. arrived In Portland Tuesday with Miss Josephine Brooks, and the pair promptly proceeded to ab sorb the entertainment features. The Ad club luncheon appealed most to Mr a Allen, but Miss Brooks was most interested in the fashion show. Both agreed that buyers' week was a great success from all viewpoints. J. R. Browne can qualify as a real pioneer. Ten years ago when he settled in Reedsport there was no Reedsport. There were a few houses In the vicinity and the In habitants hoped to have a city some day. but they had no merchant, and one of the first requisites of a real live city law merchant. Mr. Browne supplied that netd by becoming th town's first merchant. His store hs grown wiia the growth -of the city, and now he carries a stock In his furniture and hardware atore which he values at $30,000. Reeds port boasts of a population of about 1S00 at the present time. With C. H. West, owner of a Reedsport grocery. Mr. Browne attended Portland's buyers' week so he could tell the home-town folks all about it. Both he and Mr. West have been so busy that they have had to skip some of the entertainment features, but the week. In their opinion, has been an unqualified success. "We'll both be back next year, when we can take in the whole show." they declared. Mr. Browne, incidentally, la secretary of the Reedsport port commission. Visitors to Portland's Buyers' week all united In praising the serv ice received at the official head qfiarters In the Oregon building. A corps of efficient clerks, under the direction of Mrs. K. N. Welnbaum. wife of the secretary of the week.J handled all matters with speed and dispatch. Those who handled the registration were Lenore Kgbert. who has been helping with Buvers' week for the last eight years: Dor othy Donlon. who holds several typewriter speed records: Anna Belle Hanna. Josephine Forney. Mary Sullivan. Lola Baldwin and George Miller. Improvement Proves Valueless. HOOD RIVER. Or., Aug. 12.

The First National bank of Fairbanks, the last bank in the United States to get off the "two-bit" basis of small change, went on a "nicKel and dime" basis July 3, as a result of the cominsf of the railroad, which brought transportation, commerce and fin aqce alike to the necessity of. using smaller change than a quarter.
