aao. Tbe aalea by rcall merchants In
dicate thla; reoords of actual aalea prove
that' t be total volume of holiday trade
. at thla time is Immensely larger than
it was a year aso. and that of this total
- the proportion of caah aalea Is cbnsld
' erably larger. .
It Is generally admitted that, retail
r trad at the holiday season la a correct
criterion whereby . to. Judge the proaper-
ity of the people. When times are hard
- the average man . curtails his expendl
: turea for gifts: when times are good
he naturally manifests liberality..
Another manner of Judging th status
of th average man la the quality of
. -the gooda bought. . , Tha prosperous
times Invariably Indue th sal of
higher classes of gooda Judgad by
this rule. Portland is enjoying th an
tithesis of penury, i .,,
"' ' Trad Heavy Already. .

"One .of the gratifying featurea of th

'The on great good thing In th pres

money came Into th city during .th

It is cheaper to buy ducks at market

cheaper td pay fines than hire attorneys.
These are among the' conclusions ar
rived at by J. G. -Shearer,- a local Ufa
Insuranc man, sine the eloe of an
episode which began last Monday at
Vancouver. Mr. Shearer was spending
th afternoon In the city of barracks
and encountered a young man., with
about a bushel of ducks in a bag. After
admiring tha game for a tlm th Insur
ance agent mustered up enough courage
to aak for a pair. Th hunter gave,

Shearer climbed onto tha ferry.
Hardly had the boat started when a
deputy sheriff nailed the would-b epi
cure with a warrant of arrest. The
charge was attempting to take ducks out
of the state of Washington.
Going bfeore Justice Harris of Van
couver Mr. Shearer ' was fined $11.40,
which h deposited with the intention of
f anting th case. - He - learned today
hat, a lawyer and costs would take
$17.10 as -a starter. Th fight ended
there. Mr. Shearer has decided to for
