Business Volume
Swells Rapidly.
Almost Every Industry
Shows Marked In
crease Recently.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS every
industry for which figures have been
received by the department of COM
merce show growing activity. Out Of
AZ production movements reporting,
So showed an increase and only four
declined. Prices have shown the
greatest increase in more than two
years. Forward orders are increasing
and business again presents the pic
ture of prosperity. The department
comments: "In the past it has been
the excuses of the prosperity period
that have been responsible for the
depth of the depression that followed.
The present is no time to discard the
caution that the recent period of de-
preston has taught" AS a further
word of caution the statement contin-
ues: prices on the average have not
fallen below about 40 per cent over
the pre-war level. They are now near
ly so per cent above that level. No
one knows at what level prices will
finally become stabilized, but it is be-
lieved that care should be used in
placing large forward orders for raw
materials at prices much above the
present level"

There are indications of many

During his work here, in some way
which has not been given out, the
accountant gained the belief that all
fees paid into the county clerks Of
fee were not recorded and accounted
for. To investigate, the books of the
Portland Cattle and Loan company
were searched and, according to the
report, there is a difference of $13O85
between the fees received from the
Portland Cattle and Loan company
and the fees turned over to the county
treasurer. In the second case the
books of the Columbia Basin Wool
Warehouse company were searched
and it was found that the fees received
from this firm which are unaccounted
for and not reported as received total
$50.22, total shortage for these two
accounts of $l81.O7
IN wal oHoi tdSC iCpOI tCu COVcTS
the accountants findings in the books
of these two companies. In referring
to his difficulty in making a complete
check to determine the total shortage
the auditor means that many fees are
received from small parties and indi-
viduals who keep no record of pay
ments of this kind an to determine the
whole amount would be an endless
search
While the charge of shortage of
such an amount in two accounts is
looked upon as grave circumstance,
the accountants statement that "there
are indications of many more of such
items of which no record appears"
seems even more serious.
Many of the items listed as unac-
counted for carry the following con-
dition, according to the report. Firms
will send in mortgages to be filed and
ask for certified copies. The filing
charge is so cents and the certified
copy charge $l.00 and up. Item after
item in the report shows mortgages
being filed and so cents being record
ed as the fee with nothing recorded
for certified copies.
Commissioners have not said wheth-
er or not they will have the auditor
attempt further search of firms pay
ing fees into the clerks office to de-
termine if there are more funds un-
accounted for. They are now allow
ing Mr.. Smith time to check over the
auditors report and give his version
of the supposed condition.

FOREIGN CREDIT
LESSON LEARNED
Costly Experience Of
1919-1920 Not Being
FL Repeated.

WASHINGTON = Evidences are
multiplying that American manufac-
turers and exporters have benefited
by the expensive lessons of 1921
in the promiscuous granting of credit
favors abroad. Greater dscrimina-
ton is being practised, and yet liberal
treatment is being extended where
deserved. Experience is no cheap
teacher, but it pays to heed her les
sons. "A scrutiny of several score of
overdue accounts submitted to me for
advice and assistance said A. J..
Wolfe, chief of the division of COM
mercial laws in the department. of COM
merce, shows remarkably small
proportion originating in 1922 The
credit man is now concerned with
clearing up the wreckage due to past
inexperience, and his credit structure
of 1922 is built on better foundations.
The improvement in collections is
noted not as general improvement in
financial and economic conditions thru
out the world, but entirely independ-
ent of economic factors, merely as the
result and effect of greater experience
and care exercised by credit men. De-
tailed recent reports from Latin Am
erican markets indicate a star ling
change in the treatment extended to
the weak and unreliable exporters.
These small traders were refused
credit by resident importers but had
no trouble in beguiling American ex-
porters to grant them credit favors.
The result was that while things were
running smoothly and business was
very good these buyers kept up pay
ments fairly promptly, but when bust
ness became poor and stocks began
to deteriorate in value, while the ex-
change kept going up, they adopted
the natural expedient of shutting
down on their payments to the i'm
mense aggregate financial loss of Am
erican shippers. Such was the toll of
experience.
There has also been noticeable fall
ing off in disputes due to insincere and
baseless fault finding with regard to
quality of shipments and the demand
for extortionate concessions.

CHARGE COUNTY
OFFICERS " | 7 H
FUND SHORTAGE
Washington County Aud
itor Makes Serious
Charges; Holds Fees
Not Accounted for.

WEISER-Charges that Frank E.
Smith, county clerk. and three former
county officials are short in their &C
counts are made in special report to
the county commissioners by J. w.
Robinson, auditor, who is now pre-
pairing complete report on his recent
audit. The others mentioned in the
special report are James A. Sommer-
camp, former treasurer; R. A. Craw-
ford, former probate judge and c. H.
Bohrer, former assessor.
Most of the report concerns the re-
cords of the county clerks office and
says that the total shortage there may
never be known owing to the nature
of the case.
In the audit of Mr.. Sommercamp's
books shortage of $539.86 is report
ed for six-year period, from 1914 to
1919 inclusive. The unaccounted funds
here, according to the auditor, has to
do with the handling of delinquent
taxes.
A shortage totaling $144.80 in the
probate court funds during the time
Mr.. Crawford was judge is charged.
This is reported to be $8470 from fees
in the probate docket and $6010 in
the general docket. $35.15 of this
amount is said to be uncollected..
Mr.. Bohrer's shortage is SIS, due to
a double credit taken on an automobile
license refund of that amount.
In the county clerks office, the
auditor reports shortage of $181.W
and in dealing with this office says:
"The above noted differences in the
accounts of the recorder arise from the
fact that neither the instrument nor
the fee therefor is to be found in the
reception record, and only the fees
entered therein are taken into account
in settlement for money so received.
The lack of any record in the record
er's office of the matters so involved
makes it very difficult to get COM
plete check on the fees received.

An increase of production is noted
in highly finished lines of manufac-
ture as we'll as in basic industries. The
advance has been especially marked
in iron and steel, and industries which
are large consumers of iron and steel
products, such as automobiles, foun-
dries, machine shops, etc. May cop
per production was zoo per cent of
that of May 1921, and showed very
large advance over the preceding
month. Zinc output also increased,
while stocks were less than half those
at the close of May, 1921. Building
activity has continued practically un-
abated. The value of contracts let
during May was $323,000,0O0, which
was about 50 per cent larger than for
May, 1921. This was substantially the
same as the April figure.
Decided improvement in tanning and
moderate improvement in the output
of boots and shoes are noted. Whole
sale groceries and hardware show a
very pronounced advance over April,
and compare favorably with the sales
of year ago. In dry goods and shoes
a seasonal recession is reported, but
the business in most districts does not
vary greatly from that of last year.
The retail trade for the first time IN
many months is in excess of that of
a year ago.

Take Steps to Probe
Alleged High Price

WASHINGTON-The first step
taken under the United States
senate resolution authorizing the
investigation was to send ques-
tionnaires to more than 800 oil
companies calling for information
on prices, organization and bust
ness and financial condition. The
aim is to set forth as basis of
investigation the condition of the
crude oil and gasoline markets in
1920, 1921 and the first six months
of 1922 and the reason for the
changes in prices of crude oil,
gasoline and other products.
