PROFESSOR SEMYONOV, the

The solution of crime. tugged at his
bushy white side-whiskers and
Gazed at Sergeant Jon Barry from
the Homicide Bureau.
TIE professors head with its
shock of white hair nodded slowly
and his shrewd eyes twiukled.
You tell ME that there IS now
ealmmess upon the waters? No
crime of more Importance than the
average petty misdemeanor engages
The attention Of your bureau? Is
that why YOU aaye honorcd me to-
night with an unexpected but most
Welcome call, and in your civilian
clothes?"
You've got me. Professor Semy-
onoyr The detective laughed again
frankly. There's no crime wave
threatening to break over US that
l-ilnuw of, but rather curious case
has come tn our attention at head
quarters"
The roll of distant. but approaching
thunder broke in upon mis- words.
We are going TO have a storm"
The professor rose from his chair
and wadling over to the windows pull
ed down the shades. He moved with
Astonishing rapidity and vigor.
Il do not like to watch it APP.
Iroach; it fills me with a sense of
Suspense, of forebodiug. 1t is the
electricity in the air, l suppose.
You shall tell me all about your
case, but first you must see my
apartment. My laboratories are

Barry followed his host through
Spacious old-fashioned dressing room
and bath to the bedroom at the back.
Here, too, the professor paused to
pull down the shades and then open
ing door at the right displayed
modern kitchenette.
This house, you perceive, must
once have been family mansion
but it has now been made overs an
apartment to each floor" Professor
Semyonov explained. "A shop of
hammered brasses and other atroci-
ties occupies the street level,
young gentleman whom / do not
know has but lately arrived on the
second floor. His apartment is larg-
er than mine, however, for an ex-
Ira room is built out over the strip
Of garden but the extension ends on
the floor above his in a studio with
a skylight. II is occupied, that
third floor, by woman who paints
portraits, Mrs. McGrath tells me.

unmistakable to anyone familiar
with the hneaments of those in the
city's highest society.
All this Barry took in with one
darting glance and then his eyes
travelled to the foot of the easel and
what lay there. 1t was the hud-

Kneeling beside it, he gently
raised the head, which rolled back

ly long, narrow, half-opened eyes
stared up suddenly into his with
dull, unwinking gaze.

Gains at Portland, Ore.

During the past six months the
wool industry has probably made the
greatest percentage of advance; the
!! lumber industry comes next, although
the volume of the latter is consider
ably greater than the former, in the
opinion of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce. The wool industry is op-
Grating at full capacity. The lumber
industry in this dictrict is the most
important and from late report of
the local mills is operating about 10
per cent. below normal, with an in
crease in orders, however, and ship
ments about 20 per cent. above produc-
tion.l Our fish and fruit canneries are
somewhat below normal, due to the
extended drought in this district
THE coal strike does not affect this
district materially" writes F.. H.
Rybke, secretary. eve have plenty
OF wood for fuel, refuse from the nu-
merous lumber mills, fuel oil obtained
from California which comes up by
water, cheap gas and an unlimited
water-power supply. We have not felt
the railroad strike very much as vet,
put Will If it continues, especially as
far as receiving merchandise from
Eastern points is concerned. There
has not been much difficulty so far on
receiving freight from the East over
the northern routes and on main lines.
however, it does affect points not so
situated quite materially, or where the
freight comes through the south and
southeastern sections.
Ihe general crop conditions through
the grain and fruit sections have NOT
ceen quite as heavy as was Anticipated.
que to the lack of rain throughout this
district, and this, we are advised, is
curtalllng buying to some extent in
rural districts. 1t seems to be the
general opinion that retail prices in
this district are showing a tendency
nosit;en no Strengthen With gradual advancing
with the declining market of the
last few years there is tendency on
the part of the local manufacturer to
carry a smaller stock on hand than
when prices of both raw material and
the manufactured product were more
stable.
1.-TWO important lumber concerns
have come into this district recently
on large scale. The Long-Bell Lum-
Der Company, which is operating near
Kelso, Waash., on the Columbia River,
9. short distance from Portland, and
the Central Coal and Coke Company,
which has large plants in western
Oregon. Both of these concerns are
, building cities to accommodate their
employees and will have considerable
to do with the prosperity of the Colum-
bia River Gateway country. The
Doernbecher Furniture Manufacturing
Company, the largest concern of this
kind in the West, is building a large
addition to it's plant. A new plant, the
Portland Vegetable Oil Mills, copra-
pressing plant, has been erected here
on money obtained by popular sub
scription and is already paying divi-
dends. The Willamette Iron and Steel
Works, one of the large plant of this
/ kind in the West, has enlarged consid-
erably and has obtained several large
contracts. The Palm-Olive Company
| has started manufacturing soap in
Portland; formerly they merely pressed

There was little in the news to encour-

more favorable Interpretation of the
foreign situation, and the fears of fur

the market in the face of hedging oper-
ations against the movement Of the
new crop and an absence of export
buying.

Los Angeles Expanding

While it is true that in the Pacific
Southwest there was certain recess
sion in some lines of business, accord
ing to E. H. Tucker, of the First Ma
tional Bank of Los Angeles. Upon the
whole, the tendency during the period
of depression elsewhere in the United
States was for the business organiza-
solidate the gains which they had
made during the period of general
prosperity, and they are now gradually
expanding their activities as the re-
turn toward more normal conditions
elsewhere in the country reacts to our
benefit. In this territory any decreases
in purchasing power, due to depres-
sion, on the part of those already here
was, as a general rule, more than off
set by new accretions of purchasing
power through additions of new resi-
dents, he says. q
The developmental program Of this
territory has proceeded throughout the
period Of general depression, with the
lososes by one industry practically off
set by the gains in another.
The depression, which was expected
by some to reach this district after
its full force had been felt in other
portions of the United States, has ap-
parently been indefinitely postponed,
because with the unifcation and CO.
ordination of the economic activities
Of the Pacifc-Southwest, which is pro-
ceeding rapidly, the expanding popula-
tion and the developmental programs
now under way; the consumptive and
producing powers of this district are
increasing sufficiently to require
gradual industrial expansion. There
are certain lines of endeavor, such as
real estate subdivisions and oil we'll
drilling. which give some indication of
proceeding beyond the normal curve
of activity which should be anticipated,
but with these exceptions the general
situation is satisfactory, says Mr.
Tucker.

During April, May and June Port
Elizabeth, Cape of Good Hope, exported
to the United States nearly twice the
amount of mohair shipped during the
entire year of 1921. Consul Davis re-
ports that the greater part of the
mohair purchased for American account
consists of super summer kids, which
brought fancy prices. Exports to the
