Many manufacturers and in
vcsiors throughout the east are
making investigation of cOndi-
tions i'm Oregon relative la es-
tnblishing industries in this
state. Recently numerous in
quirics have been received by
the bureau of industries Of the
Portland Chamber of Com
mcrcc asking for information,
including consuming pOpula-
tiOn, raw material available,
rail and water transportation,
weather conditions, availability
of labor and power and other
matters either directly or indi-
rcclly affecting industries, This
wave of inquiries is said 10 be
due largely 10 the fact that rail
rates have been increased tO
such an extent that il is almost
prohibilivc for industries to
ship raw products Ia the east
and then ship them west again
i'm their finished state To supply
their demand on the Pacific
coast and in the rapidly grow
ing trade territory in the orient.
Manufacturers are also looking
for locations where climatic
conditions are such that they
can operate during the entire
wear and where there is con
tented and efficient labor, Pros
poets are that within the next
two or three years Oregon will
experience wave of industrial
development beyond the fOndcst
dreams of the most optimistic.
