Do you know that the deposits in the
Portland banks total $70,000,000. which
Is but $5,000,000 below the maximum
In the city's history; that $5,000,000
will be brought to this district by

These facts were given to the Ad

fICmery Olmstead, vice-president of the
.Northwestern National bank and presi
dent Of the Rose Festival association.
Multnomah county's securities grade
higher than those of New York city
with all its population and wealth, he
declared. When Multnomah offered 5
per cent bonds they sold at a pre
mium: when New York offered 6 per
cent bonds the best price obtainable
was par.
e This then, said Mr, Olmstead. is a
eity, county and state, that through
Hta. Rose Festival should attract peo
ple who. when they see the advantages,
,wlll want to stay, both to live and to
Invest their capital. This will be the

FORWARD TO PERIOD
OF BIG PROSPERITY
Business Conditions in North
ern Territory Continually
Improving, Says Merchant
Although the war in Kurope has cur
tailed the market for Alaska's expor
tations of salt and mild cured fish, the
people of the northern territory are
looking forward to , an ever-Increasing
prosperity, according to F. Matheson
of Wrangell, who Is m Portland on his
annual trip. Mr. Matheson is proprie
tor of the largest store in Wrangell
and also Is secretary of the Willson &
Sylvester -Mill company, Inc.
Mr. Matheson expects to remain in
Portland about 10 days. He declared
today that business conditions are con
tinually improving, principally bo
cause of the larger number of people
going to Alaska. ,
"Portland has a fine opportunity to
develop a trade in Alaska, but it must
be on a ral business basis," declared
Mr. Matheson. "It is hardly to be ex
pected that effective competition can
be offered with Puget sound unless
vessels of equal capacity and facilities
are put in service. The experiment
this past season was not unsuccessful,
but the feeling of the merchants gen
erally is that regular service, properly
adapted ships, capable of carrying per
ishables and passengers, and proper
qualities of goods shipped are neces
sary to make it worth while to con
tinue. "With the Chamberlain railroad bill
having passed and the coal leasing act
in force, our people are looking for
ward to the influx of people which
Alaska must have to develop properly.
Opportunities there are for everybody,
in mining, lumbering, fishing and even
agriculture, although the farming
around Wrangell so far is insignifi
cant. "In the delta of the Stikine river,
however, is ample area and abundant
fertility for many forms of agricul
ture, which is gradually developing."
Mr. Matheson estimates that the
volume of business in Wrangell has
increased 30 per cent in the last three
years, rather because of increased
population than increased develop
ment This gain has been offset by
the shutting off of fish shipments to
Germany, but the feeling is that it
will not be long before the normal
movement Is resumed.
Canners experienced a light pack
this season, but this in turn was off
set by better prices. There is still an
m-tliHtv In the extvortation of furs.
which along with the placer mining
and -timber gives Wrangell a perma
nent basts or prosperity.

BE INSTALLED. FOR
ALL WATER COOLERS
Ordinance Designed to Pre
vent Waste Passed by the
City Council Today.
FIX EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Consumer Will Pay for as Much Water
as He XTsea Under Hew Plan,
Zt Za Explained.
Believing that -water coolers aug
ment waste of water, the city council
unanimously went on record at its
meeting this morning as being in favor
of a chargo for water used in such con?
trivances.
On recommendation of Commissioner
Daly the council passed an amendment
to the water ordinance requiring' that
all water users having water coolers
install meters. The amendment will
go into effect immediately, being
passed as an emergency ordinance.
- Mr. Daly's amendment came as a
substitute to one proposed by Mayor
Albee to repeal the S3 charge for water
coolers fixed in the schedule of water
rates recently adopted by the council.
There are said to be some 225 water
users in the city who have these water
coolers in their homes, many of whom
are on a flat rate service, making it
impossible for the city to keep a check
on their use of water. "
With meters, however, it was point
ed out by Commissioner Daly, the con
sumer will pay for such water as he
uses for coolers in addition to the nor
mal amount used for household pur
poses. "In summer time," said Mr. Daly at
the council meeting, "water in these
coils soon becomes warm unless a con
stant flow is maintained. Such a flow
means waste of water which should
be paid for. It is absolutely essential
to check" every avenue .of waste and
meters should be placed on services
having water coolers with this end in
view."
Mayor A 1 bee's objection to the S3
flat rate for water users having cool
ers was based on the 'premise that it
penalized one class of people.
Inasmuch is water coolers are use!
in lieu of refrigerators it is believed
by many that water used should bi
paid for as s ice.

candidacy.
Outside of Multnomah county tha
only active candidate for speaker is
Allen Eaton of Eugene, dean of the
legislature. He is letting no grass
grow beneath his feet in the campaign?
It is reported that E. E. Blanchard
of Grants Pass is considering getting
into the race if there is a possibility
of a deadlock.
Says Burke Will Lose.
"You can go as strong as you like
in saying that W. E. Burke will not
be appointed private secretary to Gov
ernor Wlthycombe," said a Republican
who took a prominent part in the re
cent campaign and stands high in the
counsels of the party. "Burke is not
going to be appointed. That is set
tled." This Republican said he was not at
liberty to venture an opinion as to
who would be appointed to the place.
He said, however, that it likely would
be a man who has not been mentioned
as yet in connection with the posi
tion. '
Governor-elect Wlthycombe stated
when he was in Portland last week
that he would make the appointment
this week. There are many applicants
for the place.
Day's Suggestion Opposed.
Senator I. N. Day has suggested
that the senators and representatives
from this county get together and
organize the delegation for the pur
pose of considering legislation before
the session convenes.
Most of the members seem favor
able to this idea, but Conrad P. Olson,
a member of the house, said today
that he would strongly, oppose the
delegation committing itself to any
particular measures. He said to do
so would be equivalent to organizing
a machine and would lead outside
delegations to employ similar tactics.
