AUGUST 6 TO IL

Portland, Ore. June 81. Tremen-
dous strides in all lines of business
are being made in Portland, thereby
Strengthening her position as the
commercial, financial and Industrial
center Of the Northwest. During the
past five months, the foreign and do
nestle commerce of the city mas
shown a great increase, building con-
struction reached new high marks,
the jobbing business developed a
more healthy tone and bank clearings
and postal receipts made a steady az
vance.
In celebration Of the prosperity Of
the city, the general committee N
charge of the Eleventh Annual Buy
18th under the auspices Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, is planning the
most elaborate program of entertain
ment ever staged for the merchants
throughout Portland's trade terri
tory.
The entire five days will be brim-
full of surprises, many of the fea-
lures DeluB new anu uONel. HeIC
will be luncheons, receptions, excur-
sions, fashion shows, theatre parties
and smokers, and the Entertainment,
Committee announces that one event
will be staged which will rival Roar
in Camp" the big feature of 1922 Buy
ers' Week.
The Portland Chamber of Com.
MERGE and the participating mer-
chants have set aside a large sum
of money for the entertainment or
their guests.
In keeping with the custom of for

WASTED EFFORT

| An amusing incident was told at the
National Electric Light Association
Convention recently in regard to how
the other fellow views ones efforts
especially in the direction of adver-
Using.
Advertiser" said Mr.. Miller, pres
dent of the Southern California Edi-
son Company, in a snappy ten minute
address, should be couched in SIM
pie every day language and deliver a
message that all can understand. It
must voice the truth, simply, but
plainly told"
AS an instance of how easy it is to
fail to get your message across to tho
man in the street, Mr.. Miller told Oh
the hanging Of the immense sign
across Fifth avenue heralding the ~.
E. L. A. Convention. 1t had been a
feat difficult of accomplishment and
one of which those responsible felt
rather proud.
After the sign was suspended two
New York electrical men drove up
Fifth avenue and as they reached For
ty-third street they had the taxi driv-
er pull up to the curb so they might
criticize the Sbanner at close range.
One of them tapped on the glass.
What do you think of that sign?" he
asked the taxi driver. The man was
non commital; thought it was very
nice"
do you know what it means?"
Sure" the driver replied, convinc-
ingly, "it's to celebrate Governor
Smiths repeal Of the Mullan-Gage
act"
Nov gentlemen" continued Mr..
this aptly illustrates the i'm
portance of having our advertising
the kind that every man, woman and
child can understand. Otherwise all
our time, energy and money repre-
sent but wasted effort"

Why Group Fights Group

America is suffering from a lack of
economic understanding. 1t is, there
fore, that we find group arrayed
against group-that we find the grow
er at variance with the producer, the
producer with the consumer and both
with the carrier. It Is because Of a
lack of economic understanding that
we find capital and labor frequently
striving against each other. Yet each
element is vitality interested in each
other for the final successes Of the en-
tire endeavor-in the farmer growing
a prime crop and getting a fair re-
turn; in the Gamer packing a palata-
BILE crop and getting fair return; in
the carrier transporting without dam
age or deterioration and getting a
fair return; in the wholesaler making
q wide distribution and getting a fair
return; in the retailer satisfying his
customer and getting q fair return;
in labor aiding each Of the processes
and getting a fair return; in capital
supplying the money. and credit to
make each process possible and get
ting Q fair return, and In the con-
sumner receiving . pure. nourishing,
dependable. wholesome health giving
article at q fair price. There II this
community Of interest In the pro
duction and consumption of human
that should prohibit

RICH GOLD ORE
AWAITS TRANSPORTATION

Boise, June 20 A good road cou-
structed up the South Fork Of the
Clearwater river would open one OF
the greatest gold mining districts OF
the west is the opinion of Stewart
Campbell, state mining inspector
who returned recently from an OIL
cial study of the mines In northern
Idaho. There is more mining activity
In north Idaho, according to Mr..
Campbell, than there has been for
years. Miners and common laborers
are scarce in that section.
The Elk City mines along the Clear
water have made several of the most
startling gold discoveries of the last
decade. The two chief properties
company and the Center Star group.
andThe Homestead has by means or
q long tunnel cut to the depth Of $50
feet and exposed free-milling gold
vein two to five feet wide Of high val
ne. A ten stamp mill will be in oper
alton there in July.
The Center Star company has re-
Gently re-discovered the vein which
had been lost through faulting and
high-grade vein from SIX to eight
feet wide has been opened. Mr..
Campbell states that this is the larg-
est exposure Of gold rock Of high val
ues in the state of Idaho.
The Dewey mine on Clearwater
has good values but Is waiting trans
portation. The Jumbo and Cracker
jack Of the Buffalo Hump district are
also very rich gold properties await
ing the solving of the problems Of
transportation.

to function A. the nations financial
capital.
A recent investigation ~ to the
origin of one hundred leading execu
tives in the New York financial dis
trict, showed that no less than sixty
per cent we're born outside New Yorl
State, that no less than tventy-eig
per cent were born in towns Of 5000
or less, and only twenty per cent were
born in New York City.
The birthplacss of these men rep
resented Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware
Vermont, Mississippi. Kentucky. Ten
nessee, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida
Rhode Island, North Carolina, Indi
ana, Wisconsin. Georgia, California
Montana, Maine, West Virginia. New
Jersey and the District of Columbia.
The same situation Ii true of the
younger men, particularly in the
banks. This reflects more than mere
ly the attraction Of the big city for
ambitious young men. It is the result
Of the definite purpose Of New York
banking to equip itself to perform
most effectively its work for all the
nation.
A brief description Of the mechan-
ism Of the nations banking system
will make this clear. Many of the
New York banks are bankers banks.
They are great reservoirs Of credit in
which banks throughout the country
deposit unemployed funds In New
York. When crop needs in rural dis
tricts or Industrial expansion In man
ufacturing centers increase local re-
Quirements for money these local
banks call in their funds from New
York and in addition may ask the big
city banks for loans.
Country banks frequently deposit
as security the notes Of their own Gus
toners, often secured, in turn, by farm
capital such as ploughs, livestock and
other possessions. The fifty thousand
dollar note, for instance, of a country
bank in a big New York bank may
have attached, as collateral security,
fifty or a hundred small notes Of
dollars up to a thousand
or more, signed by local farmers and
their wives. Into one of the biggest
New York banks comes In this way
from the South each crop season a
small note secured by plough and
harrow and a mule named Molly
an incident that has been aptly de-
scribed as 1.-THE Minting of Molly"
L is one among many securing large |
Inter-bank credit. |
Thus Is big banking in New York
brought close to the plain people OF
the soil-thus does 1t finance their |
humble husbandry-and thus has II
'elt the need of recruiting its officers
rom among men familiar and sympa-
.hetic with local conditions-able to
the needs Of the people there
Ind pass sound judgment on the
,redit factors involved.
1t is due to the conditions thus pic
.ured that among the officers Of New
FORKS banks will be found represen-
atives from all parts Of the nation.
They are the delegates of the people
It the business capital.

COST OF LIvINGl ELECTRICITY
ONLY ITEM THAT SHOWS
A DOWNWARD TREND
Men Engaged In the Business and
Their Employees Did 1t, Not AdvO-
Gates of Government Ownership,
Says Authority.

Electricity is the only item which
shows a decrease in price compared
with prices prevailing in 1913, out 81
all the things that go to make up the
cost Of living.
This information has just been
partment Of labor, which announces a
decrease of "a per cent in rates over
that period, as contrasted with an in
crease of 6S.8 per cent for food, hous-
ing, clothing, fuel and furniture
In New York thousands of electric
al public utility men have just been in
conference. How to decrease the cost
Of electricity, how to increase it's USE
fulness and how to improve its pres
ent day application are among the
problems discussed. Idaho, Utah, Or
egon, Washington, Wyoming and 9TH
er western states are well represent
ed. The results will no doubt be ben
eficial in high degree to the cleo
tricity using public-and that means
everybody.
In twenty years light users have
been saved millions Of dollars annu-
ally through lamp improvements. In
1905 one dollar bought 5000 candle
hours of light. Today one dollar buys
more than $4,000 candle hours OF
light. A decrease of about Sc per cent
in the cost of current for this same
period, also noted In official govern
ment reports, has produced total In
crease in the number Of candle hours
purchasable for one dollar by 665 per
cent.
Commenting upon the benefits that
have accrued to the people through
the vision and the initiative of pri-
vately owned public utilities, the.
Washington State Weekly asks:
did the politicians, the munich
pally-owned plant employees or any
government ownership propagandist
have a hand in the development Of
lamps and lighting methods and ap-
planes? II so, what one?"
And then, answering its own ques-
ton, this newspaper adds:
mo! These great improvements
were made by the men Of privately
owned electrical industries, the pri-
vate company directors and employees
and no one else!"
The same publication notes proph-
etically that the municipality owned |
street car line in Seattle would soon |
have to raise it's charges in view OF
financial difficulties due, it is charged,
to political management The pro-
ohecy has been fulfilled, as the Seat
lie municipal street railroad has RATS
I'd it's fares from cents to s 1-3
rides for quarter In
stead of five.
"The public understands that good
service must be reasonably compen-
'ated for; that no other service is de-
iirable, and that the best and cheap
.st service is given by the efficiently
privately owned utility and
lot by the shifting political adminis-

0ompsrs On Socialism

State socialism ID repugnant to the
American mind for . great many
reasons. Americans generally prefer
to carve out the future in freedom
They are unwilling to accept the idea
of an all-powerful state. 1t is the
American idea that the people shall
order the state and shape its course;
not that the state shall order the lives
