1t is said that Portlanders are heavy
losers by the decline in Willard stocks.
Some Of the stories told are fabulous,
the losses being stated at millions in
amount. 1t wouldn't take more than
two millions to draw every dollar out of
town. and as the town is not yet re-
ported in that condition we take the
stories with grains of allowance. Still
the losses over there have been heavy,
amounting individually to enough to all
but ruin several of the leading and most
wealthy citizens, and in the aggregate
to cause losses that will cripple the town
for long time to come.
