Because- of complaints against the services and practices of the California-Oregron Power company, which furnishes ;this city with water and electricity, the state public service commission is holding a hearing here. The Material Is Here THIS TALENTED family of "Miner Girls" (a troupe of skilled domestic science demonstrators) are now the guests of the city's leading grocery stores. In their j . da,IJ. alk and demonstrations, these attractive young ladies show how many dainty dishes can be prepared from the contents of an Albers Cereal package, proving that, cereals can be served for lunch and dinner as well as for breakfast in many delightful ways. "Xere has been a great increase in the use of cereals during the past two years," says Miss Ruth Gibbs, leading lady of this crew of Miner Girls, "which proves the people realize that cereals contain more food value and are more economical than most staple foods.- The quality of the Miner Brand of cereals, as well as the ease and economy with which they can be prepared into dainty dishes and their palatable qualities tend to make them popular." Albers "Cream Flaked" Oats are Oregon grains, milled into Urge white flakes, thin and uniform. No milling process requires the care and is as thorough as the Albers. process. A. comparison will be in favor of the "Miner Brand." No. 9054 Boy's Double-breasted Overcoat,- mannish collar, belted back. Make It of tweed or cheviot. We have strong values in both.

This growth of commerce is also a tribute to the sound judgment of the people of Port land, in spending millions of dollars on harbor facilities ajid improvements, in 'making ready for a great "after-the-war" commerce. DURING THE WAR, through government action, Portland shipping activities were practically stagnant. But instead of becoming discouraged, the business men of Portland re newed their energy and carried on an educational campaign that has resulted In world recognition for the harbor of Port land. THE SHIPPING BOARD in consequence has assigned over thirty vessels to Portland shippers. Many of these allotted ships will trade between Portland and the Orient, making sev eral passages during the year. Business now secured for the port will average 40,000 tons each month, so Portland has every reason to expect additional government ships during the year, assuring her former position- with the great lumber and grain shipping ports of the world. TODAY PORTLAND IS SERVED by seven large steamship companies operating" vessels to Kobe, Yokohama, Shang hai, Hongkong, Singapore, Manilla. London, Liverpool, Amster dam. Rotterdam,. Copenhagen, Chefoo,, Darien, the West Indies and elsewhere. In addition there are four lines rlylng between this and the ports of the Atlantic coast and six lines operating between the Pacific ports and Portland. PORTLAND IS THE ONLY PORT on the Pacific coast that has in extensive svstem of inland witerwav available far commercial use. The Columbia river is navigable for river steamers a distance of 292 miles above Portland, the Willam ette for a distance of 83 miles, and the Snake for a distance of 216 miles. These rivers serve as waterways to bring freight to Portland from the agriculture-producing territory they drain. THE RAILROADS SERVING THE PORT are operated over the most favorable water-grades, made possible by the Columbia river, the only break In the coast mountains between British Columbia and Southern California. AS PORTLAND'S COMMERCE GROWS so will her factories increase in number and vajue of output. Oregon-made commodities will be marketed in all parts of the world, ant thus a state-wide prosperity will be created. THE hOTTHWESTEHN NATIONAL BNK PORTLAND.
