SUMMER RETAIL TRADE
BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Indications Noted That the Buying
Power Of the Country Is Being
Maintained at High Level.

New York, July 20-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Weather conditions still favor seas
enable trade and crops, and there is
no more than ordinary quiet noted in
wholesale lines as a result of midsum-
mer conditions and the reign of the
vacation season. Retail trade espec-
tally is turning out rather better than
anticipated, and clearance sales are
freely patronized, indicating that the
buying power of the country is main
tanned at a high level Recorder busi-
ness, too, is of fair proportions; in fact
is rather more in evidence than are
bookings for fall, which await a clear
er view of crop outturn before finding
full expression. 1t is quite generally
the case, too, that where cancellations
Of fall orders are noted they are &C
by the statement that these
are no more numerous than usual at
this season in previous years. Such
conservatism as is noted, indeed, is
with regard to far-off deliy-
cries. One favorable development,
certainly calling for notice. is the con-
tinuance of good reports as TO collec-
tions. which find confirmation in the
steady gains in bank clearings noted
at most cities over year ago, itself
a period of large gains over 1905.

bers OF the School Board OF that city.

cluslon of Japanese coolie labor from

that the Japanese were crowding the

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 11.-A number Of
important bills were passed by the
House and a number were favorably
reported by the committees and will
later pass.
Dyes House bill 12S, forcing street
car companies to supply seats for all
passengers or refund half the fare
paid, was lost by large majority.
After a long debate, House bill 293,
creating cheese and dairy inspectors,
passed.
A fight was caused by the bill to
place money received from forest re-
serves into the school fund Of each
county. This money now goes to the
general county fund, and many mem
bers opposed the bill because it would
increase the taxes of counties by TAX
ing away money now received for
