Varions Branchas Report W ork grossing Very Satisfactorily. $100,000 F'rat Y ear. Pi Salem— One year ago the Eddy cor- ’ poration law went into effect. The state has received under the provisions o f that law $106,866.09. During this first year of the operation of the law, 466 new domestic corporations have been formed and 200 foreign cor­ porations have qualified for the trans­ action of business in this state. The total number of domestic corpor­ ations is now 2 , 022 , which number, with the 200 foreign corporations makes a total of 2,022 companies auth­ orised to do business in Oregon. During the next 12 months the re­ ceipts from declaration fees of foreign corporations w ill be very small, but this w ill be more than made up from annual license fees from foreign cor­ porations. In the past year many of the foreign corporations paid only for a fraction of a year, but hereafter they w ill pay tor fu ll years. The income of the state from the Eddy corporation tax law w ill there­ fore exceed $ 100,000 a year and within a year or tw o w ill probably reach $120,000 or $10,000 a month. The expense of maintaining the corporation department is abodt $ 2,000 a year. Astoria— The several branches of Odd Fellows lodges met in annual sion here last week.
