Except for a spurt In the local trac tion shares, stocks were stagnant for a large purt of the day, and the activity In these particular Issues were shortlived. There wu no news, but It simply repre sented uttempts of one trader to get Ihe belter of another. Most of them were satisfied with a quarter point profit of $25 on each 100 shares. Indications were that the bankers were content to' let the1 market drift up and down with narrow limits for the money. Brokers were advising quick- turns, part ly for the beneBt of their customers and also because It meant more in commis sions.

Or., and almost daily new settlers are arriving there and looking over the. situation. The figures quoted above were obtained from the general offices- of the Columbia Southern Railroad . In this city, being riven The Journal bv President E. E. Lytel of that road. Those now going Into that section of the state seeking farming lands are Intent upon being In advance of (lie homeseeker movement which Is to be Inaugurated on February 15, and in order that they may get crops planted for 1603. It Is to cover this' rapidly settling ter ritory that the Colombia Southern con templates building .extensions In the spring. Vast grain products will result from the movement Into this portion of the state and It Is to be In a position for handling this output -that the trackage of the company will-be increased. ALL FARMING LANDS. .During the, year 1602 there were S4A 000 acres of tillable land settled in the Shanlko vicinity," said President Lytel. "This does not Include the timber land which has been located. Farmers alone have taken up this much. Anyone who knows what this country produces can readily see what this means to Oregon. There have been 844,000 acres of land added to the producing area of this state, all tributary to Portland. That serves to show the rapid. growth and de velopment of the State of Oregon." Those settlers who have for the past several weeks been . heading into that section tapped by the Columbia Southern have come out in advance of the rush so soon to begin. Several of these, ac cording to President Lytel, have gene East again after having looked over the land and will bring their families with them in the forefront of the immigra tion movement. GET IN EARLY. The advantage of getting in there early." said Mr. Lytel, "is evident, for the tnart who locates within a reasonable time will be able to get in a crop this spring and harvest at th same time with his neighbors of years' standing." Notwithstanding the large area al ready taken. It Is announced that there Is plenty of additional farming land open to settlement.

DETROIT, Mich., Jan, 21.-Owners of big lake craft are gathered at the Rus sell House for the annual meeting of the Lake Carriers' Association, which will le in session during the next few days. The- meeting is the most important ever held, by the organization. Pursuant to plans recently made public by the exec utive committee, the association Is to be reorganized and placed In a position to more efficiently cope with the many problems confronting the vessels owners. The labor situation Is one of the first matters to receive attention. Heretofore the association has not taken a hand In the labor disputes as an association, but has left the Individual members to deal with the wage scale and other matters separately. A new plan Is now to be pursued in the -expectation that the owners' inter ests will b benefited. The present meet ing will arpoint a labor committee with uuthorlty to deal with the labor inter ests ana agree upon a scale by which all member may tand. It is intimated that before contracts for labor will be made the carriers will Insist upon the labor or ganizations Incorporating so that they will be in a measure responsible for their standing by signed agreements.
