A FIFTEEN YEAR FORECAST
A forecast of the future use of
ninMrlpitv. mada bv Dr. Charles
Rtplnmnta in 1915. is the subject of
an editorial in the Hume , Illinois
Tlord. "Fifteen years ago, vr
Charles Steinmctz, considered by
many to be the greatest electrical
nonius of our time, wrote a magasino
articla enllud. You Will Think This
Ta n Drenm.' in which he forecast the
ilnitrlcnl tirosrresa of the future
Among other thing9 Dr. Stelnmets
fnmcnRt. according to the article in
the Financial World, were that clec
t.rleltv would cet cheaper: that our
hnildinifg would be heated and cool
cd by electricity; that humidity would
Vi nWtrlenllv controlled: that much
of our food would be cooked on the
tablo and that cooking would be auto
mnticallv reculated: that concerts
would bo heard in homes j that the
motion picture and the talking ma
chine would be perfectly synchroniz
ed: that the farms would be electrl
fled; that cities would be cleaner; that
industrial plants would move close to
the source of materials; that city in
dustries would lossen smoke by us
Ini? electric nower. In 1915 it prob
ably was the consensus of opinion
that Dr. Stelnmets had a somewhat
overly-fanciful mind. Yet every one
of his forecasts has, to a large do
greo, come true, and in all probabil
ity the achievements of future years
will make these past achievements
seem trivial in comparison. I ho
epochal progress made by the elec
tric industry sinco pre-war days Ib
unequaled in world history."
o
Unpaid wages amounting to $136,
0G1 owed laborers by employers in
small lumber and logging amps
were handled this year for collection
by the state labor commissioner, who
collected $47,854 for the men, lenv
ing $88,707 unpaid. The commission
er makes it plain that had the last
legislature passed House Bill 171, it
would have given the labor commis
sioner authority to take assignments
of wage claims in trust for the as
signing workman and to bring suit
for collection in his behalf If neces
sary. Then if it appeared that the
same employer would not be able tot
meet his payroll at tho next regular
payday, he would be subject to a de
mand for a bond guaranteeing that
his payroll would bo met on regular
paydays for a period of one year
from tho date of the bond.
. o
The state market agent points to
the fact that New Jersey has a m
which compels commission merchants
and brokers who buy fruits and veg
etables from producers without pay
ing cash on delivery to give bond and
procure a license from the state de
partment of agriculture, and the law
is working out satisfactorily in set
tlement of claims against such deal
ers. The law is not an absolute
guaranty of safety, but is a whole
some check on fraud and a powerful
agency in bringing about settlements
which might otherwise mean costly
trouble.
. o
Oregon stockmen find that the cat
tle condition shows very little change
front a month ago and continues
much below average for this time of
the season, generally speaking. If
winter is severe, some apprehension
is voiced that losses will run con
siderably above normal because cat
tle are going into the winter in such
poor shape. Market conditions show
no improvement and although the
amount of feed put up is below norm
al, it is generally considered sufficient
for an average winter.
o
Exports down at Fortland last
week were very slow, and only tw
small lots, one of S0O tons of. rea
wheat to Japan, the other of 1,000
tons of white wheat to the United
Kingdom were reported sold during
the week. The latter sale was made
possible only by some available cheap
freight space. Export flour business
was also dull, but export mills were
reported having sufficient business
booked to keep them running for
feme time.
o .
Just imagine a poultry farm with
100,000 birds, 20,000 pheasants and
trout pools containing thousands of
trout enough to supply the market.
All this is no dream, but fact. G. W,
Weatherty, prominent capitalist and
developer of Portland is the man be
hind the project, h putting
5250.000 m the enterprise at t-pnng
dale, on the Columbia highway.
- o
provement can be found, and a num
ber ol them are quite encouraging,
but none of them i yet important
enough to give definite assurance that
the turn has taken place.
On the Eastern financial ftltnntinn
and Industrial conditions, the Nation

indication of decisive change during
the past month. Some signs of im-

The total carload shipments of ap
ples from the United States from
October 2G to November 6, inclusive,
was 60,313 and for the same period
lust voar 62.238 cars. Of this vear's
shipments, Washington is credited
with 20,871 carloads, Idaho 4,626
Oregon 8,222.
It is assumed by a financial writer
in the Oregon Journal that with the
repassage of the intangibles law, plus
excise and Income tax levies, a shift
of $2,100,000 burden would be lifted
from real property.

The nublic and natrons of the Athc
na school were more than pleased
with the presentation of the High
school play Friday evening, and
naturally are expecting more of the
same.
Football is now in the big money

some of the endowment funds produce.
