There were 932 dwellings dam aged or destroyed by fire,' and on .them and their contents a loss of $3.29,176 was paid. In alt, thers were 1.956 fire losses during the year, upon which $1,829,- ' 318 was paid. . . ,- An outline of fire prevention work Is contained In the report. The public pays a tremendous price for its carelessness in wrecked industries, destroyed homes and loss f life. Be careful. heavily restricted Immediate ductlon is certain. Notwithstanding the heavy vol ume of business booked and offer ing, the Industry, as a whole, is not prosperous. Costs, held somewhat In check on a high level, thru gov ernmental regulation during war times, are again showing disposition to pyramid. The composite cost i statement of forty-three representa tive mills for the month of April, shows that the production of a thous and feet of lumber cost $21.64. The composite sales report of the same mllla Indicate a return of $20.68 per thousand feet, or, considering the bulk of the Industry, a joss of eighty-six centa on every thousand feet of lumber manufactured during the month of April. The condition of the lumber In dustry shows that there is no like lihood of lumber being cheaper In the near future. Si eel lias advanced Official B-day Program JULY 3 8:30 a. m.

JULY 4 10:00 , RANKING CAMPAIGN A campaign of newspaper adver lining in behalf of the banks and trust companies with the particular object of encouraging thrift was re cently run In Cleveland, Ohio. Some of the results of this cam paign were most astonishing. One Euclid avenue bank was visited by three Assyrians who deposited over $30,000 in currency that they had burled in the cellar nntll the news paper advertising had told them of the idea of putting it In a bank.. The enterprising banks of the country have caught the "big Idea' that the surest way to increase their business is to show the other fellow how to get ahead first. In dolus this they not only build the founda tion for their own business but they re doing a great national good In teaching the public the Idea of busi ness and thrift. The two most fertile sources of new savings deposits are the "stock ing bank" and the foreigner and the pay envelope of the prosperous wage earner. Prosperous Industries and a thrifty people make a solid foundation for any financial Institution. "WOOL R RINGS HIGH PRICK Over 3,000,000 pounds of govern ment wool was sold at auction June 10 at Portland Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse. It waa the most suc cessful of three sales and on a se cured wool basis brought higher price than at recent Boston auction. When It is realized that Portland Is second only to Boston as a wool center, the present demand for wool speaks well for the. future of the wool Industry In western states. Growers ara .realizing the advan tage of grading up flocks whose fleece command the highest ' price. This coupled with modern trading and warehousing cuch as the Colum bia Basin affords gives the Rroaer rvery penny there is in his wool clip.

The sale of equipment and stores lg expected to be in progress soon, since the organization of the force Is under way here, and all property Is being listed and assembled in prep aration for proposals. It is estimat ed that at least two years will have rolled around before the government pcmls Its work In disposing of prop erty on hand that was intended for Installation in wood, steamers and there are some who believe the work will not be ended In that time. . The delivery of the last completed wooden steamer will bo made by fall, Judging from the present rate, at which they are being turned. over. The outlook for June is that 11 ships will be counted as delivered, which will be two more than were disposed of finally in Kay, . and there may be an even dozen checked in' as finished in July.

The public trustees have appeared before . the state authorities with an announce ment that to cover deficits in opera tion cost it will be necessary to charge 8c ticket, 9c ticket and 10c cash fares, based on the zone sys tem. A loss respectively . of 7 per cent, 12 per cent and 15 per cent in passengers is estimated as likely to take place, and that the net Increas ed revenue will barely cover the ex- Hotel Austin Barber Shop If.

This is a concrete illustration of the general position of all public utilities such as water, gas, tele phone, light, power and street rail ways. Their operating costs have doubled while corresponding increas es in rates, as In other lines of In dustry . from farming to merchan dising, have been denlod by utility wmnfsslons, , , , k- Municipal operation In Boston has .proved claims of private company that Increased rates were necessary long ago and the taxpayer under first year of municipal management face a deficit of millions and the city has found it necessary to make great Increases in rates. On top of this, if municipal ownership be complete, the taxpayers must make up the mil lions paid in taxes by private com panies. The Boston rate case and the U. S. Railroad Administration increas es )n railroad rates, should prove, to any sane and Just man that private companies must be granted increases sufficient to meet present day con ditions. - . . t . . i .
