THOSE WHO BUY STOCK.
Investors and Spectators Play an Entirely
Different System.

There are two classes Of stock buyers,
the investor and the speculator. The
former buys on his judgment In properties
which he considers to be gilt.edged and
he Is content to wait for dividends or a
steady appreciation In values. his holdings
generally being in paying shares, or in
stocks which, to his way Of thinking, are
sure to advance.
The Speculator Is not so particular rs to
the intrinsic value or merit Of the securi.
ties in which he places his money. He
aims to get In on certain lines OF stocks
when they are down, with the intention Of
taking his profits on small advances.
The former is safe, as a general thing,
while the latter stands to make greater
percentage on his investment, or, he may
take loss.
As a general thing the tmid buyer Is
poor speculator, as he Is often scared into
selling when he should stay In, or he Is
afraid to buy when he should do so. On
the other hand, the dealer who takes a
risk now and then often cleans up bar.
rel of money.
1t Is often that panits In the stock mar.
ket are caused by trivial circumstances.
A holder may need money and close out.
This action Is often construed to fore.
shadow a decline; a timid shareholder
dumps his holdings on the market and a
slump In this particular security occurs,
the fear, although groundless, being con.
tagious, and to such an extent that the
stock becomes weak, although no good
reason exists for this condition.
A weak market Is the time when the
professional makes his investments; the
Speculator comes In when II Is strong

OREGON'S ELDORADO.
Portlanders Talking About
Sunpter on the Streets.

1t is surprising to observe the awaken.
ing in Portland to a realization Of the i'm.
portance Of the Sumpter mining district.
Sumpter, Granite, Greenhorn, Susan.
willie, Quartzburg, Dixie Butte, Robinson.
vile, Canyon City, Prairie City, and
other centers Of mining activity are get.
ting to be household words. There Is
more talk on the streets about the mines
Of eastern Oregon than there has ever
been before.
Considerable Portland capital is already
interested in the gold fields or eastern
Oregon, and more is being interested
daily. This Is scarcely to be wondered at,
for there Is no question as to the ore val.
ues of this district and the permanence Of
the camp.
Portlanders are beginning to realize that
il they would reap any Of the benefits Of
this vast and wonderfully rich mining
section they will have to get up early and
hustle, as mining men and capitalists
from every section Of the country are al.
ready on the ground. This realization is
confined not alone to capitalists looking
for safe and profitable investments, but
also to merchants who have an interest In
the trade Of this new Eldorado. Spokane
merchants are making a strong bid for
this trade, and unless Portland merchants
awaken to their opportunities they will
lose all the persimmons.
Considerable of an exodus of Portland.
ers to the mines of eastern Oregon Is
looked for early in the spring.-Portand

M'KINLEY'S BROTHER-lN-LAW
=. $. Saxton, of Canton. o.. Is stopping
i'm the City.

S. S. Saxton OF Canton. o.. brother-in-
law OF President Mckinley, Was ar the
English Hotel yesterday, the gues; of l.. H.
frey. one of the owners. He is connected
with the Barber Asphalt Company. which.
it has been said, is the Eastern wing OF the
asphalt trust, the Western territory being
covered by the Warren-Scharf Paving
Company. Mr.. Saxton discussed trade con-
ditions briefly, saying that with the advent
of prosperity not only all the larger cities
were putting down new pavements, but
many of the smaller towns. which have
heretofore been considered too small to af-
ford such luxuries, have put down miles OF
asphalt.
Mr.. Saxton was much averse to discussing
the President, simply saying that he. as
well as every one in Canton, was proud of
him. although able TO see but little of him.
Without speaking with authority. he said
that many OF the investments of the Pres
ident, which at the time of his financial
embarrassment were considered worthless,
had appreciated considerably. and general
opinion was that they would in time be of
considerable value.

THE STEEL INDUSTRY.
Representative of the Carnegie
Company at the Bates.

E. M. Allen, of Pittsburg who represents
the Carnegie steel interests, is at the Bates,
and in discussing the outlook for the steel
industry said that, although the present
activity exceeds anything ever hoped for
by the manufacturers, there is a general
opinion expressed that, so far this coUn-
try is concerned, a large part Of the bot
tom will fall out of the market in a year
or two as soon as the present heavy rush
of orders has been filled. He says the enor-
nous investments being made by the big
Steel trusts are ali undertaken with this
end in view, and ii is fully understood that
when the home market is satisfied steel
makers Will have 10 go abroad TO dispose
of their enormous outputs.
He says IL is fully understood that Amer
lea can compete with the world in manu-
factured steel, and ii Is already a factor
in the business of the world at this time
He says the present enlargement of the
mills around Pittsburg is almost past belief
The Carnegie Company alone is investing
$5OC0O00 in new mills at Duquesne, where
being built When it is considered that six
furnaces generally form the output of the
average mill the extent of the Carnegie
Improvement can be partially understood.
He says the steel trusts have their men in
the foreign markets placing orders for ma
terial to be delivered when the rush of
American orders has abated. He thinks
that within year or two the price OF steel
will materially decline, the present de-
mand alone has created q scarcity which
puts a premium on the material.

HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Rev. Newton Wilson, of Irvington,
Sustains n Heavy Loss.

The residence of the Rev. Newton Will
son, on Emerson avenue, at Irvington, was
totally destroyed by fire yesterday evening
The fire broke out about o'clock, and al
though Ii burned slowly, men with buckets
OF water and chemicals were unable to ex-
tinguish il. At the time of the fire Mr.
Wilson was out of town preaching and
Mrs. Wilson was away. One son was in
the house, but did not discover the fire un-
til it had worked its way to the roof. Help
was Immediately called and the contents
of the house. excepting one room, were
carried out on TO the lawn, where a large
crowd had collected. The chemical wagon,
which is kept at the street-car barns in
case OF fires, arrived too late to do much
arrived, but was useless. as there are no
water works in IrvinGton. The fire is
thought to have started from a defective
iiue in the back part of the house. NJ.
Wilson is an old resident of Irvington, hav-
ing lived there for over ten years. The
house will be a total loss, as the insurance
had run out nearly three weeks ago. This
makes the second house that has been de-
stroyed by fire in Irvington within the last
year and viii probably arouse the citizens
TO establish a fire department there.
\ few OF the household goods were saved,
but the greater part was consumed. A stu
dent named Rakin. who was rooming in the
house, lost all of his clothing, geld watch
and most of his books. The loss on the
building was about 5000 and on the con-
tents 500. all OF which is total, the insur-
ance having expired about three weeks
ago.
