The need therefore is not for men, but manufactures, markets and methods. The demand is not so much for more products of the .farm as for those better grown or prepared for the con sumer, and therefore commanding a higher price. The improvement of quality, utilization of by-products and the elimination of waste are pertinent problems con fronting the community. Canning and preserving factories are needed to con sume a vast portion of the fruits and vegetables so easily unt phonnlv O'vnvvn in flm WillniYiofra Vnlloir nnrl fmnrl to have such excelled quality. There is plenty of canned and preserved fruit, of a kind, on the market, and at starvation prices. But of what quality? The demand is fni' a Rlinnlv nf fl VIM'V miiph Vlio4lfi nnnliHr nf ov-mila fVinn - J vjintiAbj Ul gIVUa kllUil most of that obtainable. Only the best will command j paying prices. The question of growing flax cheaply has been settled in the affirmative. The problem remaining is of convert ing it into the many manufactures of linen, the adapta-j tion of approved methods to local conditions in order to convert the cheap raw product into the high priced finished goods, without having first to transport it long1 distances at considerable expense. ' I The failure of the potato crop to find a profitable! market is frequently the source of great waste. It might J be overcome by the establishment of a factory for con-! verting the potato into starch. While starch .is a cheap j product, it is not perishable like potatoes, and can be held or shipped long distances to find better markets. j Larger and more varied manufacturing enterprises are much needed; and on the ranch there is need for more! diversified farming. With these there is a demand for anj markets for the farm products and manufactures. These things will not only provide for disposal of the products of the city and valley, but give employment of many more laborers. It is to the solution of some of these problems that the new commercial organization will devote a part of its energies, and the success to be reached will depend upon the character and amount of backing given the project by the citizens of Salem. commodities was upward, "34 advances and 2:) declines' occurring this week in the 321 quotations regularly com- The severe depression in securities at the outset of the week carried the average of 60 railroad shares down to $78.11, but a sharp recovery subsequently ensued.

While there is uncertainty as to the final out- come, there is faith in the ability of" the nation to adapt1 itself, with financial readiness, to every contingency that may arise. Outside of the stock, cotton and other equally sensitive markets, the effort of the new war develop-1 ments has not materially changed the generally favorable aspect of the trade situation. With scarcely an excep-' tion, statistical comparisons, by which business activity1 is measured, reflect progressive improvement, and that the steady gain in bank clearings is not wholly due to the expansion in speculative operations, is indicated bv the: continued increases at many of the leading centers out-! Bide of New York. Railroad earnings make a better exhibit and the larger traffic movements have resulted m a notable falling off in the number of idle cars Fuil-' ures and unemnlovment h.ive 1. steel trade holds its own and continues on the same en couraging basis of output as before. War orders still produce marked prosperity in many lines, taking 'the place of the reduced domestic consumption. There is continued activity in the cotton goods trade in spite of the irregularity caused by fluctuations in the raw material The collapse in cotton prices on Monday carried the market far below the high point of the season, but whent rose sharply ami the general tendency of the principal I he Oregon City Enterprise takes this view of the commercial club movement now on foot in this city: "Eugene and Salem are in the midst of an active Com mercial Club campaign. The Capital City club has a membership of a thousand for its aim while the other city secured 171 new members in one day. Both of these valley cities have had commercial organizations for a number of vears and in tbp n.ist muX rmnA u u accomplished but with a strengthening in membership and a consolidation of all interests, still greater good can be accomplished in the future. The 'new clubs will systematically work on every line of civic, improvement ... ....v... .uTvuivC uura, wiui mree or lour strong and active commercial clubs in the Willamette valley the interests ot western Oregon should be greatly promoted."
