GREAT DEMAND FOR LABOR
REDUCTION WORKS NEEDED
Country In Most Healthy Financial
Condition Prosperity Is Ev
erywhere In Evidence.
Pnndlcton. Auk. 24. While talk
ing with a Tribune representative
yesterday Mr. A. O. Ruby, president '
of the Commercial National bank of '
Pendleton, who just returned from '
an extensive trip to Europe and i
through "the states," said all this !
talk about a ugnmess oi uie money
market in the East or the fear of a
panic of any sort lias no foundation
whatever.
"1 have some business connections
In several of the eastern states," said
lie, "and spent several weeks In vari
ous parts of them on my return. I
have been familiar with conditions
there for several years and really
have never at any time seen a more
healthy tone to business alfalrs all
over the country than at this time.
Now and then some wild-cat affair
that lias no legitimate place In the
business world anyway, gets a .

signs of the times. The more of
them that flourish the worse for ev
erybody, and the very fact that they
are found out and have trouble Is a
good indication of financial strength
in business circles.
"There is no better test of condi
tions than the demand for labor.
This Is always a good test. When
times were hard in the early nineties
the cry everywhere was that labor
was out of employment, but the re
verse of that 13 true now, for there
Is the banic scarcity of labor every
where in all lines of industry in the
east that there is on this coast. Of
all the thousands of foreign laborers
who land in this country every month
there are not enough to supply the
increasing demand. In fact, I have
never seen so much activity in busi
ness circles as at this very time.
-And there is actually more travel
now than ever before. It seems that
everybody is traveling. There were
in July and this month fully 400,000
people at Atlantic City, one of our
great summer resorts. And all the
inland trains arc crowded to the ut
most wherever you go. All this
means a degree of prosperity that it
is diillcult to realize. When I started
to Europe I was compelled to delay
my trip nearly a month in order to
secure a berth on the steamer and it
is necessary to 'book' your passage
on any of the steamers from one to
two months ahead.
"Land in the western states is
changing hands at a more rapid rate
tnan I have ever before known and
at higher prices. Crops are as good
as usual and prices are generally
higher than the ordinary. In fact, l
have no wish to be at all optimist c,
but I have never seen better condi
tions prevailing all over the country
than right now and there is no rea
son for any apprehension, much less
than any time I can call to mind.
Asked about the effect of the bank
failure in Portland Wednesday, Mr.
Ruby replied that it could not pos
sibly have any influence on condi
tions in Oregon for tho reason that
it has no connection with the finan
cial situation in general and was
caused by influences entirely ior
eign to those which govern the or
dinary rules of banking.
Mr. Ruby is of the opinion that
times in eastern Oregon must neces
sarily be good since crops are un
usually prolific and prices mucn
above the average. The hanks are
doing a prosperous business ana ne
thinks the outlook is especially en
couraging in every direction.
GROWERS MAY
NOT PICK HOPS
Low Prices Discourage Valley Hop
Men- Talk of Plowing Up
Fields.
Disappointed at the low prices of
fered for hops this year, and believ
ing that something should be done to
relievo the present congested state i oi
tho market, large hop growers in tne
vicinity of Aurora. Buttoville , i id
other points, it is reported, have de
cided to let their yards go to waste
this season. Many contemplate plow
ing up their yards. .
This heroic measure is saw in
have been decided on only after o
number of growers had confer ed
with one another and concluded t at
picking this season's crop would not
only result in financial loss at pres
ent prices, but would tend to 1 eep
prices low indefinitely.
Dealers havo noi snuw , .--tlcular
desire to purchase this Eea
son's crop, though a number have
been approached, and the . propos It ion
of signing contracts for their one ut
broached. Few of them are wW
even to have entertained the idea . ot
signing contracts for tbelr out u.t,
and none have definitely cloajd a
deal. Tho common prices offerod
growers has been about G conW a
"T to the contention of the .grow
ers that when all items f expense
are taken Into consideration they
cannot sell their hops at a low i I g
uro than 0 cents a pound and '
oven." Not only dVllM
picking at a loss, but tho dMWt
that the betterment of conditions tan
never bo accomplished by placing
more hops on tho market.
Tho quality of the hops this poi
is said to be good. Lice have ennwd
very little trouble, and tho hops nro
large, full and heavy.
Some Absnys Show Two Hundred
Dollars to the Ton In Ciohl,
Silver and Copper.
Portland, Aug. 23. "In time tho
country around Mount St. Helens
will bo one of the best mining dis
tricts in tho world," said F. A. Ma
bee, an oldtime mining man. "For
30 years, off and on, I have prospect
ed the Coast Range from here to tho
Canadian line, and I want to go on
record ns saying that it contains as
much mineral wealth as any portion
of tho RockIe3, covering the same
area. It is also almost a wilderness,
most of it Las never been properly
examined.
"Take the Raid Mountain district,
on Shirt Creek, for Instance, or any
In the St. Helens district. Mining
engineers of proven ability, some of
them holding positions with tho
greatest mining companies of the
world, have locked the surface over
and say that the St. Helens region
has every indication of being a richer
mining center some day than is
Butte, Montana. And this place is
only 35 miles up the river from Port
land. One mine, the Washougal,
now has 1200 feet of tunneling, and
the west drift Is in ore over the whole
breast of tho workings, ore running
52 00 to the ton In gold, silver and
copper.
A smeiter is going in there to
i.andle the crcs of that locality and
will probably be erected this year
right on the Columbia river banks,
10 miles from tho mines, and on
what is practically tide water, so as
to get plenty of cheap fuel. Several
hundred thousand dollars have al
ready been spent in development work
in the St. Helens district, and reduc
tion works of some kind are now re
quired. As for coal, It can be had
by water from a3 fai away as China
or Japan, if need be, to smelt the
ores in there. Fuel can be had over
land by rail from several point3. But
the water route ia the cheapest and
surest. However, the Northern Pa
cific people, while making a cut
about throe weeks ago, uncovered a
small vein of good coal near tho dis
trict. I saw them burning it in tne
eirgine of the steam shovel they were
using, so r guos3 it must be of pretty
fair quality.
"Ore'ron and Washington have so
often been boosted as timber and
f.irmlnc states that few people know
of tho richness of their mines. The
country all along the Coast Range
is virgin yet, ready ror tne prospec
tor's pick and later the steam drill.
"Most of this ore must find a mar
ket right here in Portland. The sup
plies for a thousand mines in ume
must be bought in this city, and the
minors will snend their money here.
And as near and important as this
is to Portland, few local people have
even heard of it, or if they have,
merely take the information as a
.' . n..i. !. Cf TTalano
mining rumor, uui iuc t liu.u.
district has thousands of tons of
good ore, in sight rlgnt tooay reauy
to ship just as soon as transportation
and reduction works can be provid
ed The ore is there, rich, wide fis
sure veins between gray granite
walls;" the question is now to get It
out."
