' A few ypar ago Portland is sa:J
' to have had 800 men ngaged in tti-i
. n-al estate business and only one ex-
cluslvely devoted to the financing of
. manufacturing industries.
Portland is not less solid and stao'ie
How then then, but the real estate
agents are fewer and their attitude
. Is measurably more cordial toward la-
tlustriea as an Item of direct advan
'' tag to their business.
-' The Industry man, Fletcher Linn, U

his Industry arguments are infinitely
more popular.

and lumber out. Already a market for
four times the present output or r,s
is offering and the concern is shipping

Of years, but it uses 250 carloads of
- bottles at a cost of about $1100 a car
' and Is paying approximately $75,000
vear In freicht.cn the bottles. Whr
shouldn't the boUles be manufactured
- here If only to save the freight, asks
Linn. There Is plenty of silica near
Spokane and probably other places
in the' northwest, and the waste
. that saw mills are burning up
. could be used in producing the gas for
a glass factory. So why not put glass
manufacture alongside of the saw
mills? Professor Stafford of the TJnt
veralty of Oregon and other authorities
.'...-ay it can be done and there is a
movement toward it.
"We send our waste paper to Sa.:
Francisco or Sumner, Washington
continued Mr. Lirn. turning to anothe
1 tile. "Stealer in Portland is unable!
to get enough material for Ills paper
boxes. If we could put in a plant for
- the manufacture of paper board oat
of waste paper here the saving In
-freight alone would pay 10 per cent on
1203,000.
Demand for a Tannery.
"Ixok at the opportunity, for a ta.i-
- Tery. Our bag paper mills use a grea:
' deal of heir-lock. The bark is taken
... off. For all I know no use propo;--
:; tlonate to its value in made of it and
' . 1 suspect it is largely wasted. Hem-
- i lock bark is needed in tanning hidea
The supply of hlden could come from
ourvtecal packing plants for. as every
. One knows, this is the. packing tenter
.; ; of the northwest. As it Is now freight
. must be paid in shipping the hides
away and in getting back the finished
; - product. All that adds to the price we
i - 'pay for leather goods.
. : "Our furniture industry has mauc
u remarkable growth. We supply a te
- " . rltory equal to a fourth of the are'i
of the United States, this area con
v talnlng one-fourteenth of the popula-
ttoo. But our output represents only
about l-150th of the volume, manu-
factured in the country. Mr. Doern
becher says our output could be
doubled; t am confident that it could
be multiplied by four.
"What we want is variety in furnt
lure manufacture. we can find a
ready market for the highest grade
furniture and for the cheaper grades.
We can land mahogany hero cheaper
than at Grand Rapids or Chicago. Our
local supply of wood Is practically in
exhaustible. By selecting a wide ranc:
- of designs and novelties and prevent
' Inj duplication such as would result
- In waste effort competition we can
astound people with the developm jnt4
Or our furniture industry.

heavily clothed with a splendid stand

J thought of the possibilities for tne

third man did his shooting.
The detectives did not stop at the
wounded man's side, but continued
the . pursuit. Rounding the corner at
Flanders street, they met Wong Chin
Sung running downstairs. They then
called a machine of the Ambujanco
Service company and the victim was
sent to the hospital. In five minutes
Captain Baty, with 10 detectives and
an equal number of policemen were
in the district. No Chinese were al
lowed to leave the buildings in the
vicinity, and the search began.

The Kwong Show Lung store was
first raided. Of six men inside, five
refused to say a word. Captain Baty
thought it remarkable that these men
should stand looking through the big
doors and windows at a shooting 15
feet away and yet know nothing of
the shooting. Consequently he had
them all locked up. The sixth man,
Ho Sang, manager, told everything he
knew, and was not molested. As soon
as the police left, he locked his store,
screened the windows, and retired to
the deepest recesses f his living
quarters In the rear. " - "'.
In the meantime the tenement above
was being - searched. Jon Joe, was
found on the second floor. Two- oth
ers in Suey Sing quarters on the third
floor were also arrested, .

frantically endeavoring to escape. - As
the police burst in one door they piled

room, into a hall,' then upstairs to Hop

them in leas than a minute. Lew Tim.

attention to a revolver lying In the
snow Just of f the curb. Only the wal

contained five exploded shells and one
load. It was 'a new 38 caliber police

Lewis went to the Hop Sing head

leader last night- "We were not in

to the contrary, we are not in any
agreement with the Hip Sings. After
the shooting two weeks ago. the nip

The police investigations last night
Indicated that the gunmen, whoever
they were, are members of both the

F you have been disappointed in finding your own
dealer out of stock in Goodyears, you can end this
annoyance from now on.
Regular' Goodyear Service Stations have been ap
pointed in (name of city) who carry itt all times Goodyear
Tires and Goodyear Tubes in every size, and Goodyear
Accessories. If you will call on one of these dealers you
will receive tire service you have probably never known
before.
Onp out of every five cars in the country today is en
joying the longer mileage and the lower mileage cost
of Goodyear Tires. "
The extraordinary favoritism shown this particular tire
would be even larger than this if everyone who asked
for Goody eiirs got them.
For Goodyear Service Station Dealers are not content
in merely selling you Goodyear Tires, Goodyear Tubes
and Goodyear Accessories. Their interest continues
until you have had maximum mileage and satisfaction
from them.
They all have the same purpose, the same disposition '
to hold your business by getting your friendship, by
giving you the service you nave a tight to expect.
This service is given you over and above the extra
mileage built into Goodyear Tires, which makes them
go farther and last logger, and So cost you less in the end.
