New York, Jan. 10.-Many mer-
chants in this section are discount
ing their bills but an even more
hopeful sign is that they are dis
counting the effects of the iquida-
ton of some of the smaller and
weaker concerns. 1t has been rec
ognized that some of the hou
which had been doing business on
an unstable basis and were unable
therefore to meet the present keen
competition would have to be weed
ed out at this time but business in
general is not unsettled on this ac-
count as it is recognized that basic
conditions are sound and improv-
ing.
Advertising men here declare
that canvass of their clients in
widely different lines show that
business has taken an upward trend
and that the response to advertis-
ing has increased as much as 200
per cent in some instances within
the last two months. The cotton
goods trade is gradually gaining
volume after the holiday period of
quiet although prices have softened
in the last few days The woolen
markets are awaiting the new price

by the Sinn Fein and then the Ma,
tionality
In October, 1917. he was elected

the Sim Fein conference in Dub
lin. He was later named as the
Sim Fein delegate from East Ca
van. During the peace conference
at Paris in 1919 he was chosen as
an Irish delegate to go 10 Paris and

Spent Months in Prison
He was arrested in Dublin IN
November. 1920, and spent seven
months in Mount Joy prison. Dur
ing his Imprisonment he issued
message to the Irish people as TO
the conduct of the Sim Fein or
ganization An attempt was made
J to rescue him from prison, but the
armored car used for that purpose
failed to carry out the plan.
The return of de Valera FROM
America was attributed to Grif-
fith's Imprisonment, as Mr.. de VA
era on his return resumed the ac-
tive direction of Sim Fein affairs.
Early in June, last, there were re-
ports of a London conference at
which Irish leaders would be in

the British cabinet.
Griffith was mentioned among
the probable delegates. His release
from prison followed on June q,

Griffith accompanied de Valera
to London in July, when the eX-
tended series Of conferences were
opened. Later, when the confer
ences shifted to different points,
Griffith was appointed chairman
of the Sim Fein mission. He was IN
London through October, November
and December, carrying on the ne
gotiations, which eliminated on De
cember 6, last, with the signing OF

st. Paul, Jan. 10.-The aid now
being furnished the agriculturists
or the northwest through credit
supplied by the banks of the twin
cities and federal agencies is grad
ually increasing the buying power
of the farmer and as a consequence
of that improvement noted this
week financial leaders expect a
steady increase in practically all
lines of business for the next two
months. Business in ST. Paul and
Minneapolis is good despite the
post-holiday slump. Retail trade
is active and is responding salts
factorily to the stimulus of pre-
inventory and white goods sales
Wholesalers and jobbers are
filling orders for immediate ship
ment and spring prospects are de-
clared TO be good. Their statesmen
will go on the road within the next
fortnight. Boot and shoe makers
are receiving a fair mail order trade
and the demand for harness is far
better than it was year ago. Hard
| ware sales have not fallen off from
recent weeks but the volume of
trade is from 80 to 40 per cent
under that of year ago.
Fifteen hundred men will find
employment as soon as the weathC r
turns cold again. The annual ice
harvest has been interrupted by a
week of warm weather and that
number was temporarily laid off
The return to work of 200 clerks
of the Great Northern railroad and

COUNTRY LAWYERS
DECLARED BETTER

1t is not the names of the country's
ablest lawyers which appear the Of
tenest in the newspaper headlines ac.
cording to City Attorney Smith, who
Tuesday delivered an address before
the Lunch Club on the history of the
legal profession. Mr.. Smith observed
that members of his profession who
specialize in criminal law, which he
declared one of the simple forms of
Jurisprudence, are more often in the
limelight because of the demand of
the public to read of murders, divorce
cases and similar sensations.
The speaker declared that cases in
volving intricate points of corporation
and property law often do not draw
more than few lines Of publicity.
Mr.. Smith also declared that the law
yers of smaller cities were as rule
higher class men in general than the
lawyers of cities. Shysters and men
of the profession whose ideals were
not of the best, he stated, were at
tracted to the police courts of the
cities. The opportunity for close per-
sonal touch, he stated, weeded out this
element from rural communities. Mr..
Smith also cited that attorneys of the
smaller cities, so called country law
yers, make good records in the courts
because of their opportunity and tend
ency to give their cases better prepar-
alton.
Mr.. Smiths talk was filed with in
teresting explanations of court pro-
cedure. He traced the history of the
profession from days Of ancient Rome.
He pointed out how the United States
and most of the English speaking
parts of the world have the English or
Common Law system, while in France,
Italy and other countries the Civil
law, as evolved from the laws of the
Roman Empire and the days of Justin
ian, prevails.
Guests present at the session, held
At the Hotel Oregon, were: M. o.
Boe, of Parkdale. and r. X.:Phffner,
of the Whiting Plover
Paper Co., Of Menasha. Wis, who has
,een here visiting the family of his |

FOREST FIRE UNDER
GENERAL CONTROL

The Herman creek forest fire. which
is now ii miles wide and four to five
miles deep is burning fercely at many
points, although it has been fairly well
surrounded, and further spread will be
in forested area within the confined
bounds. The worst is now located lust
west of the Hood River valley, where
the flames are approaching timbered
tracts bordering orchard places. Dis
trict Forester Stanley Walters, who
Monday concentrated his fight to the
east of Mount Defiance, having shifted
crews from Gorton creek to this point
to construct a line that will prevent
the fire from penetrating the head
waters of the West Fork of Hood river,
has been pinching out the fire west of
the valley before it could damage
ranches.
Reports from Herman creek are that
the fire has been cut off from new ter
ritory. 1t is expected, however, that
it will spread up and down ravines
tributary to the Columbia gorge until
rain prevails. While some 100 men
have been dismissed from the fighting
crews, at least that number must be
kept to patrol the big area until rain
extinguishes the burn. High winds,
too, may blow brands over control |
lines and start new fires at any time.
Mr.. Walters states that the fire now |
raging west of the valley has Travelled |
about 33 miles in its zigzag course up
and down draws, although the distance
from its origin is only about eight
miles as the crow flies.
A search of the cabin of John Smith,
who is now serving a 90-day Jail SEN
tence for carelessly tossing away a
cigarette stump on his Wyeth ranch
and failing to call for help when it ig-
nited brush on the place leased by
him, revealed |. W. w. literature. No
evidence, however. has been found to
show that the man was himself wob-
oly. He displayed utmost candor at
his appearance before Justice of the
Peace Onthank and appeared penitent.
Court officials were prone to blame
lim more for an apparent ignorance
md incompetency than for any willful
riminal intent.
4. II. Sherrard, supervisor of the
oregon National Forest, has been at
herman Creek ranger station, person
lily in charge of fighting the fire from
here. Saturday Mr.. Sherrard, after
ay's inspection of lines, returned
exhausted. Sixteen Reed
;ollege students, headed by Samuel
reported from the Lancas-
er Gorge camp and aided in fighting
he fire.
Saturday men of the Oregon Lumber
o. crews battled several hours in
ringing to control a fire that burned
yer Is acres on the headwaters of the
Vest Fork.
