much as we are able tofind a market
! abroad for our surplus manufactured
products, we shall be able TO defer
the unpleasant consequences OF over
production; and the fact that Amer
lean products are finding an enlarge
demand abroad is on of the most
auspiciogs signs OF the times.
\ In spite of the general dullness and
the declining tendency of values on
the Stock Exchange, an undertone Of
gradual returning condolences is quite
apparently developing 1t is possible
that values may drift to a still lower
level, especially if security issues con.
tinue and railroad profits decline on
account OF increased xpenses; bat
there Is a noticeable absence OF the
excessive distrists whicn began 10 nm.
dermine the marke six months ago
Occasional shocks occur, arising from
the policy of investigation of larg
q operations by the Government ana
further developments may be expect
ed; since this policy Is simply TO- 10
cure fair and open dealings on all
sides, no permanent harm need be PIP
pretended therefrom. The public areI
often more alarmed over these dis
Closures than need be. Our Govern.
m mt is not seeking to destroy prop
orty rights or impair market values.
bur simply to enforce the law equi-
tably-a policy that will ultimately
tend TO the stability and elevation of
railroad values. Many of our securi- |
ties could even now command much
better prices abroad we're it not for
the impairment of confidence through |
our own past mismanagemen; GOV
ernor Hughes success in securing |
passage of the utilities bill affected |
the market less than anticipated. !
Mayor Mcclellan may veto the bill, |
since it lessons his power over local
but the Legislature will |
probably override his veto; a maiori Y |
vote being all that is required in this |
instance. The outlook Of the mar |
ket is the absence of important de- |
Vepoimehts rs Tor apparently limited |
huetralions, especially in view of the |
absence OF many OF our speculative |
abroad. But stocks for the time being I
onIy on the pronounced breaks and
sell on the good suDstanta1 ralitpei
The high price of wheat and the I'M
adorable weather over the wheat belt
ire not conducive to higher prices for
stocks in the immediate future D3n't +

stock market until he weather con

to prohibit trap fishing above tide water
on the Columbia River. The committee
IL composed Of q. X. Higgins. A. Scher.

the river and destroyed by mechanical
Devices" reads the communication, "but
with law passed and enforced the ques-
ton OF getting sufficient supply Of sal
mon eggs for the hatcheries Is nearer
solution. 1t Is high time to take pre-.
liminary steps
This question will be brought up at
the meeting Of the Chamber of Com
merce on Monday night. and it Is prob
able that resolutions will be passed ask.
ing the federal government to take over
the fishing laws on the coast the same

the contestants in the tug-o-war con
tests, at Foard & Stokes hall last night
A burlesque pull was put on in which
juvenile teams were pitted against each
other The youngsters created some
amusement and after considerable tug
ging the prize was awarded to the team
captained by Billy Duck. Two teams,
the Uppertown and North Pacific Ath-
letic Club pulled for the full limit and at
the conclusion the Uppertown team was
declared the winner by two inches.
When the main event was called, it de.
veloped that the Greeks, who had agreed
to pull against the Swedes, refused to
enter and the contest was declared off,
The evenings entertainment concluded
with a social dance which was enjoyed
by all.
