With a few days start in the new
yefcr. business men of the city are
still feeling in a most optimistic
frame of mind over what to expect
in the present year. When they
glance back over the past year and
notice the strides forward made by
their own business as well as bus
iness in general, they state without
reservation that they expect big
things in 1923.
President Blan
chard of the Chamber of Commerce
is among those who feel that the
city can expect still better things.
<>. 8. lUuililiard, president Chamber
1
of Commerce
"The year 1922 is a milestone in
the psvspvr«.,
prosperity of this section, and
tne
the Chamber of Commerce, com-
posed of 250 of the most progres-
sive and conservative men, takes
pride in its part in the making of
progress, We look forward to 1923
with confidence in our ability to
solve new problems and with satis
faction of accomplishment in the
past.
“The Chamber of Commerce has
helped to make possible the railroad
to Marble Mountain, the road to the
'Caves, accommodations at the Caves,
the new road to Crescent City, the
Cavemen's organization, a band,
corf! m unity picnics, printing and dis
tribution of more than 35,000 copies
of Caves literature, the publication
of a road map, and the circulation of
tens of thousands of copies of com
munity literature, maintenance of
billboard advertising and other pro-
jefets.
“Never before have the members
of the Chamber of Commerce given
their time so freely, nor have I ever
witnessed such a demonstration of
unity of purpose. This unity will
solve other questions which have had
our serious attention for months;
notably, a cannery, land settlement,
community house, and other pro
jects. With the same cooperation we
can make 1923 a better year."
A. E. Voorhies, Publisher Courier
?The jobbing end of the Courier
this past year showed an increase of
5o'per cent over the preceding year.
This was due mainly to the addition
of new machinery to the Courier
plant, which increased the job print
ing facilities. In the advertising
end of the plant the increase was
nearly 25 per cent, which shows
that the merchants of the city are
finding it more profitable to adver
tise their goods than in previous
years. The Courier is keeping pace

"I thought 1920 woud be almost

HIRING OF PROOFREADERS
SUGGESTED FOR LEGISLATORS
Salem, Ore., Jan. 3.— (A. P.)—
Elimination of the engrossing and
enrolling committees in both houses
of the legislature and substitution
in their place of a corps of compe
tent proofreaders in the interest of
both economy and efficiency, was the
suggestion made by Fred C. Sefton,
secretary of the local typographical
union, in a letter sent to Governor
elect Pierce.
Mr. Sefton based his suggestion
on his experience in editing and
reading final proofs as an employe
of the secretary of state following
the legislative sessions of 1917,
1919, and 1921, during which many
costly errors were allowed to slip
through.
PIERCE WILE DELIVER
HIS .MESSAGE BY RADIO
Portland, Jan. 3.—(A. P.)Walter
M. Pierce, the new governor of Ore
gon, will broadcast by radio his for
mal massage at least In part to the
citixens of the state on the day of his
inauguration, Monday, January 8.
Governor Pierce has chosen this
method of announcing his policies,
hopes and plans for the state because
by it he can reach more people with
the spoken word than by any other
method.
The arrangements for this inno-
vation, the first gubernatorial mes-
sage by an Oregon governor to be
broadcast by radio, were completed
yesterday and Governor Pierce will
face the transmitter in the Oregonian
broadcasting studio at 9 o'clock on
Monday night when he will deliver
to the vast radio audience, consisting
of not less than 50.000 persons, his
formal message to the state, or the
more salient parts of it.
The broadcasting will be done on
100 meters wave length, and it is
entirely possible that everyone own
ing a radio receiving set of any re
ceptive ability in Oregon will be able
to hear both the concert and mesage.

NEW TODAY
San Franctaco, Jan. 3.—(I. N. 8.)
—California's first Congresswoman
will be a representative of labor.
Mrs. Mae Nolan, widow of Con-
grvasman John I. Nolan, will have
the united aupport of union labor In
her campaign for the seat in the
house left vacant by the death of
her husband, The present outlook
is that on January 23 Mrs. Nolan
will be elected both for the unex
pired term of her husband and for
the new term from the fifth con
gressional district, which takes lu
part of San Francisco—a labor
stronghold. In addition to Mrs.
Nolan six male candidates have en-
tered the list.
Mrs. Nolan will go to congress
with the firm purpose of carrying on
the work begun by her husband.
Congressman Nolan was one of tho
foremost spokesmen of labor at the
nation's capitol. He was strongly
considered for the post of secretary
of labor when Preaident Harding was
making up his cabinst. He was for
years a high official of the Interna-
tional Molders’ Union.
When he died there were five hu-
manitarian measures closeot to the
heart of the California Congressman
They were:
A law fixing a minimum of $3 a
day for government employee.
The Johnson-Nolan constitutional
amendment to end child labor.
An equal wage law for women in
the government service.
A law providing for federal em
ployment agencies to end the mulct
ing of workers by fee garnering em
ployment agencies.
The soldiers’ bonus.
These measures will have Mrs.
Nolan’s earnest support—their ad
vancement to her a work of love.
Mrs. Nolan is a "home woman."
She has never campaigned before,
She frankly confessed in discussing
the prospects of her election that
she was a wee bit frightened at the
prospects of public speaking In con
gress. But she has no thought of
shirking this part of the task.
"I think 1 shall manage It." she
told a newspaperman. "If I am
elected I mean to be a real congress
woman and make speeches the same
as other members."
Mrs. Nolan, of course, will have
the aid and support of other prom
inent members of the California
delegation in congress, She has al-
ready been assured of this.
She
hope« also to have the same support
and advice from national labor lead
ers that were always accorded her
husband.
"Their legislative committee call-
ed every day on Mr. Nolan, and I
hope they will be equally active In
keeping me posted on what labor
wants,” she said.
"I know I shall take a real Joy in
going forward In the labors that my
husband started and in doing what
I can to complete the work he had
started."

eu Gate. The plana have been drawn
by J. B. Strauss, noted bridge archi
tect and engineer.
The bridge
would be a combination of raull-
lever and suspension types. It is
6,700 feet across Golden Gate. No
type heretofore proposed could stand
the strain of such a long span. The
Strauss plan calls for rigid canti
lever structure« at each end. which
would swing 200 feet above the wa
ter with a main center span of the
unpreaented length of 4,000 feel.
Of thia 2.6 40 feet would be by cable.
There would be two shore spans of
1,320 feet each. The bridge would
be eighty feet In width. The tower«
for the bridge would be taller than
Eiffel Tower and would have eleva
tors for sightseers.
The coal of the proposed brluge is
estimated at 520,000,000.
Just now civic authorities are dis
cussing the beat meant of realising
the designer's dream. Mayor James
Rolph Jr., and other leader« are
convinced that u way will be found
to finance the project.
