N0.1THV;Z3T BUSINESS IN MAND3 OF LOCAL AGENCY 1. Calif omlans Anxious to Havs As sistance jn Putting Figures; Cack to Old Mark. 4S It, Is said by those close to the box manufacturing Industry that the ported effort, originating In California. to organise a combine of all the facto ries on the Pacific coast, and fix prices, is the result of a crushing defeat suf fered by California manufacturers at the-tends of the boxmakers of the Pa ciflo northwest. - - - v For some reason unexplained the northern 'boxmakers have been able to manufacture better and cheaper boxes and yuoeesaruuy compete against Cali fornia factories In thel own territory. The Northern Box Manufacturers' agency of this city, representing 2f box factories in the northwest-, has -made Inroads on the business in California. and throughout the territory -formerly occupied by the California combine. The Portland agency has branches in Kan sas City, Denver. -Omaha and othsr cities, and la Holng an extensive busi ness, Introducing Oregon boxes over a wide field. As a : result the California manufacturers have been obliged to cut prlcea .They are crying for relief, and a Pacific coast combine is proposed as a remedy. . . . , i. X A. ' Courteney, - manager of - the Northern ' Box Manufacturers' sgency In this city, said an effort is being made In California- to reorganise prices there. He intimated that an agreement would be made to maintain among - - the factories all ' along the .' coast. " Hs said he did not expect any matsiiat advance-In prlcea In Oregon, but that the object of a trade agreement would be to reorganise the shattered market in Cal ifornia. - "I do not know when such' an agree ment might be ratified by the manufacturer.- It Is simply a matter that bss beetr talked of," said Mr. Courteney. "If It does' go into effect this season' it would make no difference to the trade in Oregon.. .It would-be chiefly with the object bt unifying prices in California. They cfuld. raise prices there and no ad vance would necessarily be made here. The Oregon manufacturers would not go Into any combination ' that would give California any control whatever ever their prices or business. ' The price of. boxes in our territory is now.-fair. Prlcea of boxes depend, like tnose ex an other manufactured lumber produots, primarily un the prices of logs and lum ber. The nrloe of loss always stiffens in the spring, when the supply been exhausted by the winter's run-of the. mills, and the result is that logs ad vance a little, as, they are doing nowL (a Portland. A corresponding, advance 'occurs all along the line In. manufac tured products, sash and doors, as well as boxes and ether thing. Such an ad vance might happen in boxes at any time m "annoatlur with th4 lo or lura ber market, r But as to an organised ad vance by the boxmakers all along the coast, it is out of the question. There is no likelihood of such a thing. The action - of the Calif orntaaa would nave no effect 'on the -northern factories or meir pneea.

The franchise will - be . reerred on Wednesday . to the ' executive - - board. which will In turn refer it to a com mittee to fix its valuation. It' will be at least a month before it Is returned to the eity council, and It will be an other month before the council can give it final consideration, as it has . to be advertised at least 10 days before the ordinance passes. . Because so much time will be con sumed in these proceedings the mem bers whe favored the franchise and who contemplate submitting it .to' the people. If not passed by . the . council, ssw that unless steps ware taken Imme diately. It would be too late to carry out' their plena. Desiring no further delay tey took the ordinance from the box and recommended the council to refer it to the executive board to fix its valuation. . - "I called for the consideration of the petition for the franchise at the meet ing Friday," said r Councilman Louis ZUnmermsn. "I knew an attempt woolu be made to - keep it In the box, but when those who opposed it saw that we were prepared for them they said nothing. ,! I hardly think the ordinance, grant ing the franchise will ' pass, but- that will make no difference. The franchise will be submltte. to toe people at the June election, and it ' will be given favorable consideration by the cltlxens. "C B.

Money Here Than They Did Elsewhere. ,i Ed M. Baylies of St. Lou la who wlU have three concession on the Trail, ex presses' an opinion which la quite gen eral among showmen, that the amuse ment section of the fair will be pros perous from the beginning, because It will be 'compact and not hampered by the gigantlo proportions ' which mads bankrupts of the purveyors ef amuse ments at Bt Louis. - When a man Invests from 111.000 to $50,000 in - concessions without . the slightest possibility of ths return of the first peimjr until the opening of the exposition he is giving indisputable evi dence of his faith in the enterprise. And this la what a score, of concession aries sre getting ready, to do in Port land next summer. - "There were Its acres of floor space at St. Louis,- said Mr. Bavllss. "while here there will be probably nine aoreo. The Pike cost anywhere from 11,000, 000 to 11.000,000, and -the Trail wtU represent only f 1(0,000 or 1200,000. The wise manager would rather Inveet smalt amount to a small attendance. than ' throw his entire fortune . into a whirlpool so vsst that It Is swallowed up. . At Bt Louis the shows were so numerous that people had neithertime nor money to see them all. We figured that the Pike received only 4 per cent of the total gate admissions, wbereae at Buffalo the shows, received , 14. per cent, and at Omaha XI' per cent. In Portland we ought - to Increase this percentage to 16 per cent. The- exhibi tions will not be so innumerable . that people will be unable to see them all, Past experience shows that the smaller fair is the more profitable, not only tq the concessionaries and corporation, but to the visitors. People who visit Port land next summer will carry away dis tinct recolleci'ons of the -greet things they sew. Instead of a blur caused by an incomprehensible vaatneaa of every thing, i .-":,-.'',. The man who cannot see success perched on the Lewis end Clark banner Is either a hopeless pessimist or sadly Inexperienced In publlo enterprise. The northwest is the most attractive por tion of America today. People would rather come here than to the coast proper and every tourist who moves out of his home next summer will visit Portland."

Normal ' conditions - In ' Oregon have scheduled a precipitation of 11,21 Inches for ..the months or March.. April ana May. . That prescribed amount of rain fall, together - with. . the deficiency of 10.01 inches . which already exists. makes a total of 21.11 inches that must fall between the present time and tha opening date of the fair. - Many who have long Men residents of Oregon t and- profess wisdom In weather lore-announce that -that total precipitation must' occur between the present time and June' 1.

The Intention Is to ask the eourt to close the .bridges from 2:11 to l:l a. m. and from 1:10 to 0:10 p. m. - Those hours. It Is believed, may be made to accommodate the largest number of peo ple, without Interfering materially with the departure of river boats, aa all but one la scheduled to leave at or before T o'clock a. m. In the last few days the county eourt hss received many communications, most of them from citizens personally ap pearing or telephoning,- to express their views on the question - of recognising and enforcing the rights of ths public crossing the river at tha drawbridges. . . .. Faslle gewtisieet Orowtag. ... I A wave of public sentiment Is sweep ing over the city, h support of the demand for relief from . the drawbridge abuee. . t r.- While everywhere there Is a disposi tion to avoid seriously Interfering with river traffic, it Is generally believed that an hour morning And evening will work no actual hardship to rlvsr Interests,, and that once the proposed rule Is .in op eration the boats will asslly adjust themselves to the new -order of busi ness. It ws' recalled by speakers at Friday night's meeting that years ago, when It was proposed to build the first bridge serosa . the WHlamette ; river at Portland, the- entire river interests aroee as ope man and protested, declaring that ehouldr'.ftf&t be done it would be Impos sible fotrwoats to navigate the stream. It waa claimed that the currents, tides snd winds would cause constant wrecks on. the piers of the bridge,. Bvery river captain and boat owner signed a protest and opposed the first1) Morrison street bridge-with such vigor, that its con struction ' was delayed several yearsr " But at lsst the bridge waa built, and ethers followed, until now . there . are four. ' Meantime, no trouble to naviga tion has resulted, more- boats have en tered the harbor, and, -strangest of slL every one has eetabllabed tta landing among the drawbridges. Harry Stuts man, who has been. an engineer of Port. land i drawbridges 10 years or more. ' Then aad Vow. , "Before - there were any ' brldgea to bother the boats, those-thst-went-to Astoria and'other points down river had. landings below the present sits of the j steel bridge. Passengers who wished to leave on an early morning boat had to go down on. the horse car the Bight before, and -pay a dollar for bed on the boat. At -that time there waa nothing to prevent their landing up town.' But sines the draws- have been built they have moved up between the brldgee. It seems,-so that they may be bothered as much as possible by them. R. D, In man, srgulng against the closing of the draws because, as he claimed, it would be Impossible fof towboaU arriving here during a eloeed hour to hold a log raft In the stream until the. bridge opened, asked that the drawbridges be left open at all hours In order that the sawmills above the bridge would not be handicapped by any obstacle not similarly borne by 1 their competitors below the bridges, Edward Newbegln, manager of R. M. Wede St Co.. wholesale implement and hardware dealers on the east aide, replied to Mr, Inman. and said; "It is an accepted fact that some lo cations In business must always be more advantageous than others. For . years the Honeyman Hardware company has been trying to secure1 a switch on Fourth street, on the west side, to enable it to avoid a certain expense for cart age that their competitors on the east side do not have to pay. It has been the same with the esse of the Marshall Wells company, and men y others. It might be argued for Mr. Honeyman, as well as for Mr.-Inman, that side tracks should be pullt on every busineea street In the west side busineea district, where such tracks were -needed, to place busi ness bouses on aa equal freighting ba sts with competitors who enjoy the ad- vsntagea of side tracks on the eaet side. There must be some special advantage in having a mill located up In the city above the bridges, snd this advantage will offset the disadvantage that may be imposed on the business by the clos ing of the, drawbridges two hours each day." ,. r.r ' i . . i ad -aTearalgia From Oolds Lezatlve Braaw QalnlDe, the world Wise CaM aa4 Grip reaiedr, rsva tha eaaaa.
