TOPICS OF INTEREST TO
Invessments, Markets and Itrms of
Interest on Financial
Estimates made a short time
ago fixed the amount of Oregon
and Washington money invested
in the war securities of Great
Britain, Canada, France, Russia
and Italy, as well as bonds of
neutral European nations, at be
I ween $8,000,000 and $10,000.-'
000, Revised to date these esti
mates run to between $12,000.
000 and $15,000,000 Portland
capital is believed by commer
cial and investment bankers to
figure in these foreign 'govern
ment securities to a total of at,
least J5.000.000 and for other
parts of Oregon at least another
$1,000,000 Washington money
has absorbed a larger sum. One
local investor is reported to have
taken $300,000 of British and Ca
nadian securities of recent is
sue, and others are known to
have put their investment capi
tal into substantial lots, which
will yield 6 per cent interest,
because of having been bought
below par. After the war and
the credit of foreign nations gets
on a 4 per cent basis, their se
curities are expected to bring a
premium in the world's money
markets. The number of this
class of investors throughout
Oregon and Washington is re
ported in financial circles to be
very large, on account of many
with'sojall means having bought
baby bonds and notes those is
sued id small denominations.
Wasco county's $260;000 of 5
per ctnt highway bonds will be
sold at The Dalles. March 31. to
the highest sealed bid. A- re
cent decision by the supreme
court validated this bond issue.
At a former saie, January 6,
which was revoked pending a
judicial determination of the va
lidity of the bond issue, a Port
land bid was hisrh of the 20 sub
mitted, offering to pay a premi
um of $16,775, relatively the
highest premium ever offered
for Oregon highway bonds. The
bonds will mature at the rate of
one tenth yearly after January
1922.

In a tabulation made by the
New York Annalist the cost of
inheriting $10,000,000, measured
by state and federal tax rates,
is shown. In Oregon the state
tax would be $119,959. or 0.99 of
1 per cent, while the federal levy
would be $1,201,500. or 18.61 per
cent. On smaller inheritances
the taxes would be less in a de
scending scale.

After The Coyotes
State Veterinarian W. H. Ly
tic informs us that .his office is
very much interested in the work
of exterminating coyotes in this
territory. In asking the news
papers of the state to co-operate
with him he says:
"You are probably aware of
the fact that the Legiol.it .ire
has passed a coyote bounty law
which provides for a bounty of
$3.00 on all coyotes killed in the
year 1917, with an incmise of
SI. 00 per year on females there
after. Naturally this increased
bounty is going to materiidiy as

coyote. If your paper will j in

One of the most gratifying
evidences of returning prosper
ity is the very heavy traffic over
the lines of the Oregon-Washington
Railroad & Navigation Com
pany, which is making it neces
sary to re-lay its rails over the
Blue Mountains with hundred
pound steel. At present ninety
pound steel is used, but the hea
vy volume of trafliie finds these
rails insufficient for the strain.
These rails will be the heaviest
used by any railroad in the wet,
and the total cost will approach
close to a half million dollars. .
The first unit of this work will
comprise about thirty miles. Oili
er units will be undertaken as
circumstances warrant.
