Total bonk -clearings for Kugene

the second Inrgest month recorded, be
ing exceeded only by October, last
year, when, the clearings were. $2,
105,333.31. .
This report for the present month
submitted today by the clearing house
representing the three local banks
shows nearly half a million increase
over February of last year when
there were 2!) days hi-flie month. The
clearings for February 11124 were 1,

bank clearings for January of this
year were $1,870,179.07. '
Tbe big increase in the figures for
the month Is indicative of a good
year, in the opinion of Eugene bank

several months that will showi better
than the best year ever recorded in

Eugene was host today to 75

Instead of taking the visitors
through all the sawmills In Lane
county, the Lane County I loo Hoo
Lumbermen's club took advan
tage of a perfect spring day and
showed them through the stnte
fish hatchery at Vlda, or on up
to the McKlnzie bridge, and back
to Eugene and through the Uni
versity of Oregon campus.
The visitors were "fed up" on
sawmills, thoy Bald. Their day
In Eugeno was pleasant because
they had a chance to relax.
Some' of them went to the coun
try club- for a round of golf; a
few snt in comfortable hotel
chairs and read magazines; but
at least half of the delegation
went out with the s.lght-aeeing
groups In automobiles.
' Second Tour
This Is tbe second tour of the
Pacific coast by the Northeast
Retail Lumber Dealers' associa
tion. Three years ago they made
a similar trip by special train.
For six years they have toured
annually some portion of the
American continent. Their re
turn to the Pacific northwest this
year was Inspired partly by the
expansion of the Industry here,
partly by a desire of the mom-
bers to show their wives the
scenic, beauties of Oregon, and
partly by trade conditions.
