The smelt run la off again. It dis
appeared Jurt as Quickly as it appeared,
tearing- the trade rather bewildered as
to the outcome. 8cme express the opin
ion that th said run waa a purs bluff
but others believe that it was .a school
of fish that had been In the Colombia
for come time and had not been caught
because of the Ice.
In any; event the public's appetite for
Colombia river arnelt had been whetted
and now there are no smelt available to
fill the demand.
There is no stock of fresh salmon
available In tbe Portland market at thia
time. There Is plenty of frozen stock
of superior quality, which is selling at
prices within the reach of the general
public
Little fresh halibut is available but
the frozen stock is so good that it is
easily taking place of the fresh.

A Sound Principle
for people of moderate means who are
anxious to make 5their money earn them
'El more money, is to diversify their invest
ments as far as possible. In the homely,
old-fashioned phrase, "don't put all your
eggs into one basket."
But the average individual does not know
how many bonds of a given type would
be best for him to purchase, or how to bal
ance his investments so tfiat they will
bring him the best returns.
That is one very good reason why the
experienced investor always seeks advice
from a reputable financial institution.
How much more then must the inexperi
enced investor get competent advice.
The Bond Department of Lad4 &
Tilton Bank is at your service for
the investment of your idle funds to
the very best advantage. ,

CUSTOMS OF THE ORIENT '
IN a country where the jinrikisha is used instead of the auto-
'mobile and other quaint customs prevail, it is not surprising
that there are many "queer quirks" in the way business is
transacted. Thru the Asia Banking Corporation we are able to
offer a tttrvice that is thoroughly familiar with Oriental methods.
