OREGON WEEKLY
INDUSTRIAL REVIEW

Oregon industries show in
creases in all branches for past
year. Prospects for 1917 even
brighter. Legislature should do
all in it's power to encourage
industry.
Salem-Saving of $4,000 to
$4,000 to be made on house
clerk hire this year.
Portland Chamber of Com
merce asks memorial of the
State Legislature to Congress
urging that definite legislation
be made concerning water pow
er, so that some basis for devel-
opment might be arrived at.
Ontario-F1onr mill projected
at Jordan Valley.
Oregon flax superior to that
in any other region of the world.
Monroe-Pool of 600 sacks OF
potatoes bring $4,000.
Portland-Large timber hold
ings in Columbia, Tillamook,
Clatsop, and Washington count
les comprising $4,000 acres and
4,500,000,000 feet of timber
change hands at figure of
$4,O00,O0O.
Oregon is getting some good
advertising in adjoining states as
a result of the legislature trying
to hold down taxes, consolidate
commissions and cut out over
head expense. This is worth
much to the state in view of the
fact that we have heretofore
been pointed out as the freak
law" state.

bill proposes, is hard to under
stand.
