Resumption ot activities ot Ore gon's basic industries, timber partic ularly; the prospects of good crops and the already realized increase in prices of wool, were the main con tributors to the Increased flow of business that marked the last month. Virtually every line of endeavor re ports general betterment, from mer cantiles on through to manufactur ers. Moreover, the spirit of optim ism is spreading very rapidly throughout the fruit and wheat re gions and buying -is freer than It has been for months. Wholesale dealers in necessities, such as groceries, shoes and clothing, report that their salesmen are opening up new ac counts and that houses whose credit was more or less questionable are settling back debts and are paying promptly tor new, merchandise. Tie interior, which was buying very little, is now coming back Into the market much stronger. Eastern Oregon, Washington and Western Idaho are in much better shape, but eastern .Idaho is still quiet. How ever, the volume of business throughout the northwest, as com pared with last year, is less. Drugs and luxuries are finding the market better as compared with the last few months. The revival in business has been marked. For April and up to May 15 the volume of business is ahead of last month and is also ahead of last year. Buying, however, is limited practically to "fill in" orders, designed to main tain normal stocks. Wholesale grocers are enjoying their seasonal flood of business. Wes tern Washington and western Ore gon, in fact, all sections where there are diversified sources of in come, report good business. In ad dition to the seasonal Increase, the lumber industry has added consider ably to the wholesalers' revenue. Lumber, which still maintains It self as our greatest industry, is ex ceptionally well situated at present. There has been a considerable In crease in eaBt bound car shipments I SB a ft 1 I A 4V af. AiB. m Queered Long years ago G. Grimshaw Grimes was in the county jail; he was accused of swiping dimes and other kinds of kale. Of course his spirit was dis tressed, as yours or mine would be, until the guilty one confessed, and Grimshaw Grimes went free. It was an error of the law that sent him to a cell, where he was fed on bread and slaw and water from the well. And he has led a useful life since that dark day of yore, providing nobly for his wife and children twenty-four. And now and then, to serve the state, or prestige gain, mayhap, he comes forth as a candidate for some small public snap. And always at the crucial hour when roorbacks most prevail, up comes the story, dark and dour, that he was once in jail. In vain he rises to ex plain his martyrdom of old; the voters listen with disdain, and then they knock him cold. And so he. teeters through the town, a sad and weary scout ; there is a spot in his renown, and he cant get it out. He's washed the spot with gasoline, he's lathered it with soap, but in campaigns it's always seen, and he's abandoned hope. This world pf ours is most unfair and insolent at times, and none can say it's acted square with poor old Grimshaw Grimes. A blemished record is a frost that makes the world seem stale; so let us all, whate'er the cost, avoid the county jail. and the Atlantic coast business via the Panama Canal Is gaining strength daily, due to the fact that Oregon lumber can be shipped to the Atlantic seaboard by water cheaper than the Oulf lumber can be deliv ered by rail. A $16 rate is compet itive under present conditions, while the rate itself is $12. It is antici pated, however, that there will be a stiffening of rates soon, but not suf ficient to curtail shipments into this very profitable territory. Oregon lumber mills are running closer to capacity now than they have at any time since 1920. Practically all of them are operating, with the exception of the smaller Interior mills which cater particularly to the railway tie trade. In this connec tion, the transportation lines are coming into the market much strong er, and in all probability the small mills soon will be under way again. Tbe labor situation is much Im proved. The building trades and al lied crafts are operating at full force. The printing trades report much bet ter business, something that re flects a generally improved tone In commercial lines. Common labor is well employed but there still re mains some slack which will be taken up within the next month or two. There is a very marked Increase in retail business in the larger cen ters, particularly Portland. As com pared to last month, the percentage of increase in retail volume ranged from 5 to 7 '.4 per cent. Many mer chants have employed high pressure sales methods, however, and this may result in a slight set-back later in the season. Crop prospect are very good and the indications are that fruit will find a retuly market. The wool men tliei.dv hava dl.si'imptl of their clip at greatly ndvun iitl prices over Ian year's. The general tendency for fair prices for wheat and livestock has heartened tbe farmers considerably, and they generally look for a prof itable market. In Portland, the influx of now people continues unabated. Tho elec tric light and gas Installations were practically doubts this last month the installations of a year; ago. Tho new power connections, however, do not show up as well. While there is a slight increase, the Industrial load has not grown heavily enough for comment. Taken all In all, the conditions are very satisfactory and every indication points to a contin ued and steady movement towards stability.
