Indi cations are that there will be a greater demand tor skilled labor in the next twelve months than was required this year. 'It is conservatively estimated that building construction wilt be greater by 15 .ier cent in 1925 In Portland than 1924 and It ia safe to say this ratio of increase will prevail throughout the state. It also expected that buildia.; craftsmen will have increased op portunities ot employment but it is anticipated that there will be suf ficient mechanics within the state to take care of the building pro gram. "There will be a slight decrease in state highway construction in 1925 compared with 1924. About five million dollars will be expend ed by the state in constructing roads ln Oregon the coming year. The expense of construction of the state roads Is defrayed by money heretofore appropriated. In addi tion new county roads are planned to be built next year, financed by bond Issues approximating in cost two million dollars, also two mil lion of dollars to be expended for market roads is contemplated as a part of the county road building program.

"Of the fatal accidents," said a member of the commission yester day, "one occurred to an auto truck driver . hen his machine skidded on the slippery pavement. while another worker was drown ed wh'le attempting to keep the spillway at a power plant free from Ice. "Ity far the greatest number of accidents caused by the cold weather resulted from falls.

We're Off On March 1921 we opened a small furniture store comprising about 5,500 square feet of floor space at 373 Court Street. In less than two years we found our quarters inadequate to care for the growing business and in December 1923 we moved to the modern fire proof building at 357 Court street which gave us a floor space of 25,000 square feet. 1925 finds us crowded to an uncomfortable degree, not an inch of space being wasted in this big store and before long it will be necessary for us to extend the store Hck to the alley, thus giving a few more feet of show room space.
