MAN SUED FOR LIBEL
jesse r. H4nman, Former EmplOye Of
the East OregOnlan, Is Made lie
fendant in Suit by +. c. Harley.


Jesse r. Hinman, an Astoria news.
paperman, who about six years ago
worked for a few weeks on the East
| Oregonlan. is being sued for $4,000
by Mayor-elect F. C. Harley Of Asto
ria, who Is also well known here The
following dispatch tells Of the filing Of
the suit:
ASTORIA. Dec. S0.-The first Of
what promises to develop into series
Of libel suits as an aftermath Of the
recent municipal campaign was filed
in the circuit court today, It is un-
derstood that when the circuit court
grand jury meets, in February. sever
al cases of alleged violations of the
state corrupt practices act by partici-
pants in the campaign will be laid
before that body.
The action filed today was brought
by Mayor-elect F. C. Harley, against
j. r. Hinman. publisher of the Lower
Columbia, and asks for $4,000 dam
ages for alleged defamation of char
acter
One of the main charges on which
the libel action is based Is the publ
cation on November 80 Of letter
signed by George W Meyer in which
Harley was accused Of being "coarse,
vulgar. obscene and profane TO a su-
perlative degree, not a gentleman and
not capable Of initiating one for five
minutes" The communication further
asserted that the writer believed Har-
ley merely wanted the office of mayor
merely for the prestige It would give
him and to bolster up his wildcat lot
selling SCHEME, selling lots more than
five miles from the Astoria postoffice
for 20 times thier value to eastern VIC
/ tins
The complaint further recites that
the defendant published false and H.
belous editorials during the campaign
in which the plaintiff was heralded
as the "open-town" candidate for the
position of mayor and averred that
IL elected. Harley would appoint an
''open-town" chief Of police and Asto-
ria would become the stamping
ground of white slavers
This damage suit follows on the
heels of the most bitter campaign ev'
or waged in Astoria.

A Creditor Nation.

In 1915 the bogy of troublesome IL
quidation of our own stocks and bonds
held abroad was finally laid. and we
began to offer market here for for
eign securities;
In 1916 We definitely secured title
to our position as a creditor nation,
loaned freely to the world, and, de-
spite hitherto unequaled purchases by
us of belligerent securities, became
possessed of Of gold imports in a vol
ume sue has was never before seen.
To the spur of foreign war demand,
represented by unheard-of quantities
of food, munitions and general mer-
chandise sold abroad, was added a
new and record breaking volume of
imports, largely of raw materials TO
at the same time purely domestic
trade grew beyond the most sanguine
dreams of our merchants and manu-
facturers A quieting down in mid

hooked for nine months ahead and
some iron and steel lines were sold

1916 SET NEW HIGH RECORD
IN ALL KINDS Of INDUSTRY
(From the Bradstreets Review Of the
Business Year.

(FrOm the Bradstreet's Review Of the
Business Year,
Nineteen hundred and sixteen was
wonderful year, but that character
ization does only partial justice to this
latest and greatest twelve months in
the country's history. II was said of
1915 that adjectlyes were lacking fit
ly to portray that years progress. so
it may be said of 1916, in turn. that
comparatives fail to describe the re-
peated examples Of high records set
up in nearly all lines of trade and in
dustry, only to be displaced in turn
and relegated to the rear by new and
hitherto unheard-of totals of indus
trial production and trade volume. of
bank clearings and building expendi-
ture. OF transportation earnings on
land and on water, of export and inn
port trade in merchandise, in gold
and in silver, of mineral output and
ship construction, Of prices of all
commodities, and Of high levels Of
wages paid in most industries and of
dividends paid by enterprises of all
kinds. 1t would be far easier, in fact
to single out the lines that did not
break records than to attempt to
enumerate the multitude of directions
in which trade expanded. industry set
up new milestones Of progress. and fl
