SPIRIT OF SYMPATHY The coming- year and the following 191? and 1918 will be the greatest business years in the nation's his tory. even If the war should come to an end tomorrow. In the ODlnlon of A. R. ITbdway, one of the leading merchandise brokers and manufactur ers' representatives of New Torlc. -Who la at Hotel Portland. "The past year has been a record breaking period for business, despite tbe fact that the streets of New York are not flowing with money as some persons seem to believe,"" Mr. Rod way said, 'but the next two years will be even, greater. z or ope Weeds American Products. '1 don't care if the war comes to an end tomorrow, the demand for our products In Europe will continue. The war-stricken countries of that conti nent will be too busy with the work of rehabilitation -to produce but a fraction of the commodities they will need, and especially will this hold true f foodstuffs." Mr. Rodway has been away from New York for the past two months on a buying trip, visiting some 20 cities, and in that period he has pur chased nearly Jl. 000, 000 worth of food commodities to supply the eastern de mand. Of this quantity hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sup plies have been purchased on the Pa cific coast. In Oregon and Washington he is .contracting for salmon and condensed milk, largely for the export trade. The other- day In California he pur chased barley, ripe olives, milk and Other California staples. "There Is a keen European demand for condensed milk," said Mr. Rodway, "large quantities of It going to the Belgians. I mean the people of Bel glum, not the soldiers. The boys in the trenches live largely off beef tea but the babies of Belgium must have milk" Mr. '"Rodway sees no immediate pros pect of a reduction in food prices. " PPly and Demand Bala Prices. ''These prices are largely governed t)y the law of supply and demand," be said. "As long as this great de mand continues in Europe prices will b high. An embargo might prove In a measure effective but I do not look for embargoes on our principal export commodities. The farmers of the country will demand as their right jto be able to sell their wheat and - ner products at the highest price obtainable." , Mr. Rodway is ttie New York rep- :'.f 1 1 1 iar J. 1 i i. i . ESSENTIAL TO XMAS AS MAW. GIVING Dr, Boyd Addresses Rotary Club on Giving; Fine Musi cal Program Rendered, Dr. John H. Boyd preached a sermon to the Rotary club, a business organi zation. In the Benson hotel Tuesday and it was received with such pro longed applause that Dr. Boyd was forced to bow his ackonwledgments time and again. "The Christmas of the Prosperous Man," Dr. Boyd took as his sublect. This is the time of year, he said, when a man resolves to live to the heights of himself and to let all kindly generous impulses have free course. It Is the time when minds are dedicated to unselfish thinking and hearts to the merciful consideration of others. "And yet," he said, as he addressed his audience which was mostly com nosed of employers, "the danger to you prosperous men la that the juice of kindliness may be squeezed out of you. You may think you have exemplified the spirit of Christmas by tossing a careless contribution to need. You have no right to go out next Sunday with Christmas baskets unless your hearts are filled with true sympathy. Let your miscellaneous charity go. Find one family that you can put your strength under and restore it to self support and self respect." An unusual musical feature was provided In the octet composed of Mrs. Jane Burns Albert, Mrs. Herman A. Polltz, Mrs. Mitylene Fraker Stltes, Mrs. Grant Thomas, Harold Hurlburt, J. P. Mulder, Dom J. Zan and W. A. Montgomery, which sang two Christ mas carols. W. A. Montgomery pre sided. Seattle Switchman Killed by a Train Seattle. Dec. 21. T. V.

Net Salmon in Estuary Because Word Is Missing From Mandate. Seattle Babies Are Fatally Burned Seattle. Wash.; Dec. 21. (P. N. 8.) Alice and Nancy Peterson, 20 and 9 months of age, were burned to deata here Wednesday when fire wrecked the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Peterson. Mrs. Peterson, out of the house at the time, reached home in time to save Edward, 6 years old. dragging htm through a window which she broke is presumed the fire started fro.n the cook stove which had been left burning. Mrs. Peterson was severely burned rescuing Edward. Fishermen along Hoquarton slough. adjacent to Tillamook bay, have taken advantage of a technicality in an order closing that estuary to fishing and recently set their nets anew and yanked in the lively salmon. It's an other "and" or "or" case, so far as State Game Warden Carl D. Shoemaker can see, and he proposes to frustrate the plan without letting the Oregon supreme court pass upon it. In January, 1014, the fish and game commission closed the slough to fish ing because the heavy netting of sal mon prevented an adequate take' of fish eggs at the state hatchery, lo cated on the upper Trask river. The slough and its tributaries remained closed until recently, despite the ef forts of commercial fishermen to get it reopened. Not long ago -a deputy warden dis covered the fishermen at work Just as if there had been no closing order. He remonstrated and they told him the closing order was invalid because it was not sufficiently explicit. The copy of the order defining the "dead line" omitted in the description of the place the word "north." The line was to run from a point "north 47 degrees." Although "south" 47 de grees would have put the line well up in the mountains far from any stream, and 47 degrees in any other direction would have set the deadline a long distance away from Hoquarton slough, the fishermen contended the omission knocked out the order. Game Warden Shoemaker yesterday dre. up a new order, which will close the estuary after January 28. The wording will be technically correct, to avoid any legal split. The exact point of closing- has not been determined, but it will be near the mouth of the Tillamook river. He felt it was bet ter to make a new order than to at tempt to fight for the old order in the courts.
