CAUSING CUPID DEAL OF
 TROUBLE
TRANSFERS OPERATIONS FROM BOSTON TO ST. LOUIS; WOMEN GALORE AFTER GOAT RANCHER
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

There seems to be no end to the adventures of Barton w. Unglcs in the east and middle west in his quest for wife. Ungles left Prescott over two months ago for the east He liv- ed on a goat ranch near this place and was one of the best known stock ranchers in this section, as much for his eccentricities as anything else He is widower and previous to his departure has been hiring a house keeper on his ranch whenever he could secure one.
 Soon after his departure he turned up in the matriomonia1 limelight in far off Boston, where he made the whole Bcantown sit up and take mo- ticc that he was in town for business. His picture and two columns of story appeared in the Boston Post, giving his views and desires with reference to helpmate such as he said he hop ed to be able to land on his Prescott ranch for better or worse" This caused his many friends in Prescott to be flooded with letters from wo> men galore who seemed desirious to hook up with him should they find his representations to be all that they desired. Then there was a lull in the efforts of cupid so far as this end of the route is concerned, until week or two ago when the matri- monial zephyrs broke out afresh and at an entirely different spot. indicat- ing that he had failed to connect at Boston and had transferred his field Of operations to St Louis, from which place various and divers wo- men have been writing to Prescott people much about the same as the fair damscls of Boston had prcsious- ly done. Judge F. o. Smith seems to be one of the many people here to whom Mir. Ungle has been re- ferring his prospective brides, as a result of which he has received a number of letters, the following be- ing a fair sample Of the breeze this one persistent ranchcr has been able to stir up in the cffctc old cast.

 St, Louis, Mo, Jan. 3.
 Judge of Prescott,
 Dear Sir:-In reading the St. Louis Star. I read an advertisement in it about MT. Barton w. Unglcs, a wid- owcr who was trying to locate a good wife. He referred to you as references, and l thought it more suitable to write to you as he did not give his address. l am a widow with three children, | two boys and one girl, Albert aged | IS, Arthur aged IA, Anna aged II. | The boys work every day and the little girl goes to school. I, myself. | do washing, and then, to make ends meet, I have worked hard otherwise to raise my children, but still look young. 1 am not drinking woman 1 can give references and can keep a home nice and pleasant for any man that appreciates a good home. In case MT. Unglcs has found a wo- man that suits him, or Mir. Unglcs hears of any one else in Arizona that Is offering the same chance, would you please notify me, as I have al ways wanted to get further west. So hoping 1 get an carly answer, I re main,

Figures Upon Increasing
Business by Is Per Cent
By W. G.. Funck. Sales Manager Hewitt
Lea-Iunck Company. Seattle.

80
NAR w. G. FUNCK, general man
ager of the Hewitt-Lea-Funck
Company, asserts the company
is figuring upon increasing its bust
ness at least SO per cent during 1915.
That Mr.. Funck bases his predic-
ton upon facts is illustrated very
forcibly in a voluminous report
which has been made up from thous-
ands OF letters received from farmers
throughout the great Northwest and
the Mississippi Valley states.
In these letters the farmers advise
the Hewitt-Lea-Funck Company that
it is their intention to SOW a larger
acreage to grain, that it is their in
tention to pillow closer to the fence
and take advantage of every available
acre, for they realize that the farmer
will be supreme when the harvest of
1915 is over
Farmers are figuring at this time
upon building new barns, houses and
silos," say Mr.. Funck. "a great
many of them have the money in the
bank to take care of these improve
ments at the present time; others are
figuring upon these improvements,
anticipating an average crop with
prices that will easily net them
profits that are seldom received from
two or three average crops.
AT the present time the Hewitt
Lea-Funck Company is making ar
rangements to increase its office
force, taking on such men that are
acquainted with the business and can
render the right kind of service
when the big rush of 1915 takes
place.
Amongst our recent large orders
is n for furnishing the Ford Motor
Company with all the lumber re-
qufred to build their new assembling
plant at Fargo, N. D., and we also are
now figuring with the Belgium re-
lief committee for 1000 houses to be
shipped at once.
I'm the past, the Pacific Coast lum-
Der market has depended largely upon
off-shore business and cutting orders,
most Of which are received from the
railroad companies. The American
farmer will produce prosperity for
1915, without our Western lumber
men having to figure on off-shore
and railroad cutting business"
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-07

continue to do so. Our poultry sup
ply business is getting better all the
time; We are shipping straight cars
of these commodities as far East as
Salt Lake City and as far South as
San Diego-so you see that our rep
utation has reached a long ways from
home.
Europe is buying large quantities
OF seed in this country and, since the
Panama Canal opened, we have
shipped several hundred tons of seed
to European countries. Both for
eign and domestic demand for seed is
very brisk.

Outlook for 1915 Bright
as We Have Ever Seen 1t"

BY W. c. Harbcrt, Sales Manager Charles
II. Lilly Company, Seattle.
Sr~HE business outlook for 1915 is
as bright as we have ever seen it..
With wheat and other grains
higher than they have been for many
a year, the farmers are in excellent
financial condition and with the enor-
nous acreage being put in this year,
should be in even better shape, after
the coming harvest.
1914 treated us kindly, particu-
larly the last four months; business
has been steadily improving and we
know of no reason why it should not

Hopes for Gradual Revival
of Business in Year 1915

National Bank.

BY J. W. ~Spangler. vice-President Seattle
National Bank.
~HE present state of business af-
fairs is so abnormal and the
influences so very unusual that
| hesitate to attempt anything like
a definite forecast. l can only
say that the country's business
affairs have shown improvement
in the past few weeks due ap-
parently to our having discovered
that even though the European war
situation has been extremely disturb
ing, yet our business may continue
notwithstanding. We have appar-
emily found means to reopen many
channels of trade, which we're tenn
porarily closed as a result of the war,
and it seems fair to assume that
business should continue to reveal a
better tone as our facilities for cop
ing with the new conditions become
perfected. Upon these grounds |
base my hope for a gradual revival
in the year 1915.

Believes 1915 Will Prove
Year of Great Prosperity
!. Hall. Hall q Cosgrove, Attor-
neys. Seattle.

By Calvin s. Hall. Hall q Cosgrove, Attor-
neys. Seattle.
= BELIEVE that the year 1915 is
going to be a year of great pros
perity for the Pacific Coast and
base my prediction upon several reas-
n among which are the following:
The Panama and San Diego Expo
sitions will attract hundreds of thous-
ands of visitors to the coast. Many
of these will make their first ac-
Quaintance with this part of the coun-
try and its glorious climate. The
vast majority of the people of the
East and Middle West have only a
vague, general idea Of the climate Of
California, Oregon and Washington.
For example, n of the largest Of
flee buildings in Seattle was built
under the supervision of a firm of
architects located in New York. One
would think that such a firma at least
would have heard Of our mild winters
but evidently it had not for when it
came to put in a heating system it
based its estimate of the capacity re-
quired upon that Of a New York
Winter and after the building was
occupied the superintendent told me
that he had taken out enough radi-
ators to equip another building of
like size.
Visitors Will Remain.
When the visitors come and learn
first hand of our pleasant summers
and mild winters, many of them will
remain.
A representative of one of the larg-
est business institutions in the Miss
issippi Valley stated recently that the

that all through that section large
numbers of people of means have
made all preparations to come to the
coast as soon as the Panama Expo-
sitiOn was opened and reduced rates
were in effect.
There was general rejoicing when
the Panama Canal vas completed and
the coast states were basing great
expectations upon its bringing set
tiers here. 1t is true that the war
for the present has disarranged many
plans for colonization but that the
farming lands of this section will be
occupied by the better classes from
all parts of Europe Is as bound to
happen as that night follows day. 1t
Is reported that thousands from Bel
GUM. Holland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden have already made plans to
come and many are on their way.
Shipping Growth.
While many expected that the day
following the passage of the first ship
through the canal would be marked
by a general wave of prosperity that
would be noticeable all up and down
the coast and were disappointed be-
cause that day was just like the pre-
ceding one, yet the beneficial effect
will be as great as predicted and next
year will see coast canal commerce
grow by leaps and bounds. 1t is al
ready having its effect and shipping
men recognize it.
The year 1915 will see the regional
banking system changed from some
thing beautiful and wonderful to con-
template to a thing of everyday as
sistance to all business, large and
small. The bankers will have be-
come acquainted with it and it's uses
and instead of it being a theory it
will be a reality and put to the uses
for which it was intended and money
will then be available for legitimate
investment.
Alaska's Contribution.
Next year will see great progress
made in the opening up of Alaska
and the coast will receive direct bene-
fit therefrom. We do not realize the
wealth both of the minerals and ag-
ricultural lands of that vast country.
While the rush may not be SO great
as 1t was during the gold excitement,
yet it will be steady and every set
tier there will mean a new customer
for the various business houses of the
Pacific Coast.
l think the greatest cause of pros
perity next year will be that the peo-
pie of this section are recovering from
a "get-rich-quick" debauch and are
ready to place their money in the
thousand and one channels for safe
investment in the coast states that
heretofore have been overlooked, but
which have always existed. If a
proposition did not offer a return
from SO to 100 per cent annually
they would have one of it and when
they did not realize any returns and
lost the investment they were natur-
ally disappointed. They are 10Y look
ing for a safe investment with a fair
return and that means the improve
ment of the West on a solid, substan-
tial basis. There Is plenty of money for
investment and the coast states offer
thousands of opportunities for safe
investment and the people are begin.

PAPERS RAP FOOTBALL GAME
British Press Express indignation Be-
cause Players Refuse to Enlist
Urge Its Eradication.

Indignation against the hitherto pop.
ular game of football is expressed by
nearly the entire British press be-
cause almost no men enlisted as a
result of the recruiting rallies at re.
cent matches.
1T is time to eradicate the football
cancer" says the Pail Mall Gazette,
in an article which goes on to say
that not a single man was recruited
at London's principal football match,
which was attended by $4,000 specta-
tors.
A colonel who lost a son at the
front and was himself returning to
the firing line appeared at this game,
says the paper, and pleaded with the
men to enlist.
"As a soldier l ask you" said the
colonel. Il say come, your country
needs you"
Then his words were drowned by
shouts when the teams came on the
field, continues the paper, which adds
that in other parts of the country the
same stolid refusal greeted the bands
of speakers and recruiting officers. No
recruits were obtained at Nottingham,
where 1000 spectators attended a
match, and no one was recruited at
Brighton.
The Evening Standard says that the
total result of the countryside move
ment was one recruit.
rs football such passion that moth
ing on earth can stop it," says the
Standard. Vigorous youth should be
powerfully persuaded that this is not
the time for the development of any
passion save love of country"
The Westminster Gazette says there
is only one way in which the football
association can put itself right in the
eyes of the public, and that is by dis
continuing its program.

Mclaughlin and Williams, Tennis Champions.

Never was a season so fraught with
startling reversals as the present year
Never were champions so harshly hum
bled or so timely tumbled. OF all the
champions who risked their titles this
year in America there was but one tC
defend successfully. Jay Gould, the
court tennis champion of the world
was the exception.
Since Gould's victory over the Eng.
lishman early this year the champions
have steadily lost. The defeat of Nc
Loughlin was, without doubt, the big
gest surprise of the year. After one
of the most fruitful campaigns that
ever was the experience of a tennis
player, the Californian was netted in
his last game of the year.
r. Norris Williams of Philadelphia,
who defeated him, was absolutely I'M
known two years ago. He suddenly
burst upon our courts in a startling
blaze of brilliance from Switzerland.
He learned his game in the little coun-
try of the Alps and learned it most
thoroughly. When he arrived here he
was substantially founded in the
science of the game and only needed
a dash of American energy to make
him leading player.
The tennis situation is considerably
jammed by the victory. Who's cham
pion now? That's the question.
Conditions are quite plain, and there
