AN ALL-AROUND CITIZEN.

Il want to meet the men on this
job" said Col Roosevelt just before
he started to lay the corner stone for
the Multnomah club in Portland. AS
he spoke he reached out his right
hand to the nearest mechanic and he
shook hands with all the men. Thus
did he honor the man who tolls.
While riding about the city the col
onel was accompanied by a body
guard of Spanish war veterans. With
these men he talked as his auto pro-
ceeded slowly along the streets and
il. his address he took occasion to
commend the men who had fought
in the Spanish war and in the civil
war.
He likes to honor the men who
fight.
At one place where the party stop
ped there were a number of ladies
present and one asked that he shake
hands with her so she could say she
had enjoyed that honor. ''The honor
is all mine" quickly replied the COL
onel. In his speeches he never failed
t. refer 10 the ladies and he was an

There are other industries in a SINH

1t nevertheless remains true that
the financial outlook is growing
brighter daily. This is recognized by
the heads of large financial institu-

last few weeks has been from sources
OF this character. The amount of
quiet absorption of high grade invest

market its present strong undertone.

than money. a situation which is
.reco oynized by a class of wealthy op-
orators who are quietly borrowing
money at low rates and placing the
proceeds in securities which they are
confident will bring much better
prices later on.
