Only those manufacturing Industries that are strong financially will bo ablo to aurvlve tho ruinous car shortage. Those that cannot carry their bualneas along or exist on local trade wilt have to ahut down. Many of Oregon's fao torlea and mills are running at a loss, with no relief In sight. The big business that had been work ed up all along the coaat by tho Ore gon Furniture Manufacturing company la dwindling away.

In addl- tlon to the total loss of tho expenses they paid in sending out men to get ' the year's orders they are now paying salaries and expenses of men who are doing nothing but go over the territory and make explanations of tb failure to deliver the goods. ' Farmers Holding Crops. Throughout western Oregon farmers are holding their potatoes, hay - and -grain, paying interest on loans they s- -cured to carry them until they oould market their crops, and waiting to get cars that were ordered weeks ago. Alt farm products are perishable, and tho " outlook now Is that there wll be heavy losses among the producers on account of the Impossibility or marketing crops.
