TRIP COMMENCES TONltiHT
Hearty 10O Portland Business Men
Expected to Make Journey to Con
sume rive Says.
Nearly 100 Portland business men
will start at 7:45 o'clock tonight on a
five day trade excursion to the Cons
bay country in the hope of persuad
ing the people there that Portland can
and will make it better for them to
trade In Oregon than in San Fran
Cisco.
Mark Woodruff, secretary of the
publicity and conventions bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce, returned
today from an advance trip over the
route to be taken by the excursion.
He went to learn from the people
what their impressions of Portland
are now, and what problems the Port
land business men will have to wres
tle with when they meet the Coos
county people face to face.
Mr. Woodruff learned, for Instance,
that Bandon wants a boat line to
Portland, to afford a market for the
enormous deposits of coal and agri
cultural products.
San rrandsoo Competitor.
He learned that San Francisco Job
bers are allowing more liberal credit
and more prompt service than Port
land has been giving. He learned that
Coquille and Myrtle Point are centers
of a highly developed agricultural re
gion, producing last year 11,500,000
worth of dairy products, most of
which went to San Francisco.
At the same time he found that the
Coos county people would welcome
Portland's, entrance into their trade
field, and a disposition to trade here
if they could on an equal basis.
As for the opportunities ' for Port
land people who are bound on pleasure
and recreation, Mr. Woodruff said he
found scenery of the wildest and most
rugged the mind could conceive. For
example, the road of the Seven Devils,
between Bandon and Marshfleld, is
one of the most picturesque and beau
tiful highways he has ever seen. It
winds along the cliffs overlooking the
sea.
The Portland party will make the
run to Eugene and over the new Wil
lamette Pacific to Reedsport on the
Stuslaw tonight, and start early to
morrow on its tour of the coast coun
try. The following are registered for

GERMAN
COLONISTS
DAY IS CELEBRATED
BY LOCAL SOCIETIES
Hundreds Made Merry at
Deutches House Yesterday
Where Program Was Given
In celebration of the arrival of the
German colonists in America in 1S63,
the largest meeting ever held by the
United German Societies of Oregon
took place yesterday in the Deutches

sic and happy laughter and chatter of
the merrymakers.
Long before the appointed hour, 2;J0

jical program could be heard. ,
Old men and women, bent with the
infirmity of years, younger people of
vim and enthusiasm and little children
could be picked out In the happy
throng that moved into the large hall.
Reunions of old time friends and pio
neers who came across the plains in
prairie schooners in bygone days es
pecially marked the occasion. All car
ried their heads with pride when speak
ing of the land of their nativity, now
e i gaged In the mightiest catycllsm in
lt history.
Prior Adelheim Odermatt of Mount
Angel was given hearty greetings.
With their war medals well in sight
were many veterans of wars. Those
who at previous meetings had not felt
Inclined to attend took special pains
this time to be present.
Address of welcome was given by
Gustav Schnoerr, first vice president
of the association. He was interrupted
frequently by hearty rounds of ap
plause. Luclen E. Becker directed the musi
cal program which was heartily appre

HARDEST INDUSTRIAL

End of War Will Create Con
ditions Hitherto Unknown,
It Is Now Asserted.
EUROPEAN WOMEN FACTOR
Tnlted States JCnst Work Into Trade
Previously Sold by Other Conn,
tries,. Bays VhUadelphian.
What will happen In the world, in
dustrially, when the great European
war is ended? Will America continue
indefinitely to be the creditor nation,
and go on piling up profits, million
upon million. Just as she is doing to
day? C. M. Clark, chairman of the board
of directors of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Co., who is here from
his Philadelphia home, believes this
question should well attract the seri
ous attention of all American business
men at this time. He said today that
In his opinion, the United States is in
lor the most unrelenting Industrial
competition, not only in world markets,
but in its own markets, that history
has recounted. .
Trade Balance Considered.
"Vhe balance of trade in favor "of
tne United States was 12,600.000.000 on
August 31." said Mr. Clark this morn
ing, t "The debt must be repaid to the
United States. And how? By the sale
to us by our foreign debtors of such
goods as they manufacture. So far
we have been taking the I. O. U.'a of
the foreign nations using our goods
and our credit. The interest on these
must be met and eventually the prin
cipal must be paid. That means, to
me, at least, that we must receive the
manufactured goods of the nations
when they have re-established them
selves Industrially."
One of the most significant things
brought about by the war, Mr. Clark
said, is the increased efficiency of the
working people of England and France.
Women have taken the places of men
in every industry. They are turning
out more work than the men ever did.
When the war is over, Europe will firid
herself with a large army of woman
highly trained in all handicrafts hith
erto conducted by men solely.
Women Get High Wages.
The women now are receiving high
wages and will continue to receive
them. The influence of women in in
dustry has spurred such men as are
not In the war to corresponding ef
forts. This has all contributed to the
r-ost perfect industrial efficiency the
world has known.
"If the war should end tomorrow, the
United States would find ft hard to
bold the foreign trade she has ac
quired. If it should end In a year, she
will have become that much further
entrenched. If the end is postponed
still another year she will have still
more leeway. If the war had ended a
year ago, she would have had less op
portunity. "What I mean by this Is that the
United States must work Into the trade
hitherto held by other nations. She is
beginning to do so in South America,
but not so much as she might. And
the other nations are not going to sit
by and watch this Invasion without
challenge."
Mr. Clark said that Paris undoubted
ly will be the great city of the world
when the war is over. Americans will
flock there. by the thousands and spend

ruropsan Trade Has Advantage.
He deduced, therefore, that the only
way the warring nations can escape
from their debt to the United States
is to sell us the products of their fac
tories. With a wage scale lower than
that of corresponding lines of this
country, he apprehended that they
probably would succeed In.thus cancel
ling their debt.
As far as the P. B,, L. ft p., and
Portland are concerned, Mr. Clark bad
no ray of .sunlight to shed. He said
further Investments for extensions and
betterments are impossible because the
earnings for the last two and a half
years have been insufficient to pay
return to the Investors who already
have placed their money here. Wltn
the continuance of competition of Jit
neys in the transportation field and of
a rival company in the electric field,

appears.
Mr. Clark is accompanied by Mrs.
Clark and their son, E. W. Clark, III.
The object of their visit is tbe mar

Hazel Dolpipnext Saturday. Mr. Clark

occasion.

The scene of the Mazamas' outing
was near the Cascades at Eagle Creek,
They took advantage of tbe newly
completed forestry service trail, to
