Bankruptcies for the entire state" of Oregon are filed in the federal court in Portland. Many days passed in May when no petitions were filed. The number of business failures as ' recorded by the bankruptcy proceedings have been quite small. Miss Rogers declared. Miss Rogers said the court was flooded with petition in 191J and 1914, but business conditions as reflected by the number of petitions filed, improved after the World war started. The num ber kept dropping off until in 1917 and 1918 few were filed.... Neither were many filed in 1919. Early in 1920 the number commenced to-increase, but at no time since the war has the number of bank ruptcies been so large as in 1914, ac cording to Miss Rogers. After the war everybody appeared to believe that the number : of failures would - be very large, b'ut these fears have 'not been borne out. No records were ' available today showing .the, total number of petitions filed during the last 18 - months, but Miss Rogers said that the increase had been so small over others years as to entail but little extra work.
