Indications in tut industrial lite
ut Oregon point to a prosperous-
year for ltZtj, says a statement
issued by State Labor Cominissiou-
er C. H. Oram. arming and la
bor conditions as well as the fac
tory industries are touched upon
m the statement.
'An optimistic feeling pervades
the industrial lite ot Oregon and
emplvers generally are confident
that 1925 will be a prosperous
year. Bays tho statement. 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.
There seems to be a disposition
on the part of tho farmers ot Ore1
son to depart from general farin-
ng and to undertake the cultiva
tion ot special crops for which
there le already market and to
which the soil and climate of the
state la peculiarly adapted, such as
walnuts, celery and other prod
ucts. Fall wheat planting acreage
increased 5 per cent over that of
last year and it Is figured that
spring planting of wheat and most
other crops will bear at least the
same proportionate increase.

Industrial accidents In Oregon
resulting from the recent snow
and cold weather, according to an
estimate by the state Industrial ac
cident commission, will cost the
commission between $25,000 and
$30,000. An unusual thing about
the month of December was that
up to December 13 not a single
fatal accident was reported to tie
commission, but after that date
the fatalities piled up with un
usual rapidity, several ot them
due to the weather.
"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. In
cluded in tiiis group were work
men who slipped from logs, frorii
wood piles and boards and on
floors covered with Ice.
"One workman was Incapacitat
ed when a large Icicle in falling
struck his foot, and another em
ploye was injured by a fall while
breaking an ice Jam in an Irriga
tion canal. A number of cases el
frozen fingers and toes were alio
reported, and ln one instant a
worker while disabled from a
previous injury fell on the Ice and
fractured two ribs."
In the past season along the line
of development work which Is ex
pected to continue at about the
same rate In 1925.
Actual construction of two
hundred miles ot railroad was un
dertaken ln Oregon during the
current year and will bo In fuil
swing again with favorable spring
weather. This Is significant of a
trade development that meane
much to the entire state."

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.
THANK YOU
for it is certainly you our friends and customers who have made this
rapid growth possible and with our continued policy of
