T... inancial situation in Portland ac
cording ij the opinion of several of As
toria, citizens who visite.1 that city
during the past week is about to assume
the even tenor of iu way. A numoer-
of nrominent buildings in Portland are
lieing constructed! as rapidly a if there
had len no suspenswn of specie pay
ments. In fact, a very prominent Astor
ia n who recently visited Seattle brings
the information that building is going
on there now more rapmly than before
because building material has been re
duced al)out 20 per cent. This , same
citizen states that the contractors in
Seattle are taking all of tle contracts
now that they can possibly handle lie
living that within a year labor will be
higher than ever because more than one
half million recent immigrants have re
turned from the Atluntie coast to hurop
during the past tew weeks.
Sir. Theo. B. Wilcox stated to somu
of the Astoriaiw on Friday that lie ex
pected to see all kinds of business in
Portland positively booming before the
first of next June. Mr. . M.. Ladd
ssii.l that Oreiron would not be set back
at all by the recent financial flurry and
that he expected to nee for that reason
more business done in Oregon during the
coming year in any line that might lie
mentioned than had lieen done last year.
... ... 11 all. J
The rooms at the hotels are an jiueu
with neonle and in fact the best hotels
have the largest number of guests. The
only people that have so far suffered in
Oregon are the day laborers who have
been employed in the logging camps and
in railroad construction and these can
positively get work on the farmt
throughout Oivgor., Washington and
Idaho.
