SILVER'S DECLINE CAUSES DEPRESSION IN SPOTS
Commercial , Industrial , Mineral and Agricultural Progress of
Nine States and One Territory An Instructive Review
of the Activities of a Mighty Empire
Satisfactory Footings.
The year Just past was n f.iiriy prosperous
one for llm people of the west mill northwest.
Although depression was experienced lu
spots , owing to tlio dcclliw in the price of
silver , the development of other resources
makes up the deficit and lifts Iho footings
consldei'.ihly alwvo tlio totals for 1891.
A marked feature of thn j-nar is the attcn-
tlnn given to Agricultural dovclopincnt In
status hitherto devoting till energies to min
eral. This is particularly noticeable In Idaho
and Nevada. Vast sums have been expended
on Irrigating ditches nntl many others pro
jected , requiring largo capital. In those and
in otliur states us well ur the territory ot
Utah , it Is sufo to say that , millions of arid
nercs have been added to tlio productive do
main.
DTho HClli transcontinental line just com
pleted to Pugct sound must bo credited to
the past. yeur. The extension of the Great
Northern to Seattle gives the northwest n
choice of four routes eastward tlio Union
Pacific , Northern Pacific , Great Northern
and Canadian Paciflo. Thesis great highways
have revolutionized the commerce of the
North I'aclllo coast , nnd seriously affected
the trade of Iccal Jobbers. Kastern traders
successfully dividu the business with homo
inorchants.
The year was notable for stampede to now
mineral Holds , beginning \vlth Crccdo and
Cripple Creole , Colo. , and closing in the San
luan rush , The Deep Creek country of
"Utah and several sections ofidaho , tlio Flat-
hwid country in Montana and various camps
in Northern Washington attracted a share
uf prospectora , and the results in all cases
wcro satisfactory.
The statistics were gathered largely
from the super ! ) nnd exhaustive annual re
views of the San Francisco Chronicle , -Salt
J aUc Tribune , Portland Oregonian and
Kocky Mountain News.
SOUTH DAKOTA.

1'rosporlty.
South Dakota has not only recovered the
progressive pace checked by drouth a few
years ago but ds rustling to the front at n
Nancy Hanks gait.
Governor Mollctto's message to the legis
lature places tlio oondcd state debt at
$1,000,000. School property with a valuation
of j53,7lMl'i ! ; ! and school lands valued at $20-
000,000 and some 87,000 pupils enrolled are
educational facts -which make a line adver
tisement of South Dakota. The state is not
only great agriculturally , but as Governor
Mellctto shows , the mining outlook , en
hanced by the installment of 'tho great Har-
nov Peak tin plant , is most substantial nnd
brilliant. rZJ 1 ' >
During the past year four mining com
panies in the Black-Hills paid f 102,000 in
dividends. The value of the bullion crop of
the Hills was $7,670,000. Nearly 1,000,000
worth of mining property changed hands ,
two new reduction works represent ing an
investment of $175,000 weroorcotedandJOO- ! ,
000 was expended in mine and mill ma
chinery. The Honiestako mine employed
: i,000 men , paid $1)00,000 ) in wages , , $80.000 for
fuel and ta ) 000 for oil nnd candles.
It Is estimated that fully ST > per cent of the
male population of the Hills is engaged in
mining in some capacity.
The wheat crop of tlio state was -18,000,000
bushels.
DTlio farmers of South Dakota liavo turned
their attention moro and moro to live stock.
Two years ago there was hardly sheep In
the state. On July 1 last there were -100,000 ,
nnd President Hopkins of the Wool Growers
association predicts that by July 1 next
there will he at least 1 , : X,000. ) The hogs
are heavier this year and'aro bringing a big
IH'lcu. The great cattle men on tlio ranges
vest of the Missouri report the most suc
cessful year of their industry. Already
nome Ifi.OOO fat cattle have been shipped to
market from Pierre alone , and tlio other
Btatlons have done as well , Land has risen
from 1 to ? 4l or $8 an aero in the section
west of the Jim , while In tlio oldqr counties
land costs from $10 to $15.

What promised to bo : i year of great devel
opment in Wyoming dwindled down to a
very ordinary one. The result is largely duo
to the unfor'-unato turmoil between the
itock growers and the people of Johnson
Bounty. It served to divide the state into
hostile camps , distracted public attention
and Imposed increased burdens on the tax
payers. There is , however , notable evidence
of progress. The extension of the Durllng-
ton railroad to Sheridan opens a vast area of
ininiHiil and agricultural land to settlement.
The famous Ulg Horn valley , now accessible
'by mil , will soon add materially to the
state's productivewealth. . In fact the ex
tension of the road brings north Wyoming
Into the Held of development.
Never in the history of the state was the
production of coal by the mines within tier
borders as great as in 181N. All the coal
mines along the Union Pacific were operated
I to the fullest extent of the capacity of the
railway company to transport and furnish
cars. The same may also be said of the mines
In the eastern central i > ortinn of the state ,
while there was great activity in several
portions of the state in locating and opening
now mines. Wyoming has become such a
urand jiouivo of fuel supply as to make the
coal business one of Its greatest industries.
Once utmost exclusively a grazing couiitrv ,
with little or no attention given to the tilling
of the soil , Wyoming Is now rnpldlv becom
ing a farming country. The provniling ideas
of the past , that Its soil and climate- were
not adapted to farming , have been exploded
by the successful experiments along Hear
river , thu Green , the Henry , Hams nnd
1 other streams in southwestern Wyoming ,
\yhlh ) Die northeastern and cciitrnl valleys
urn fast becoming settled with farming com
munities , and the country Is becoming so
fenced in as to drive out the herds which
have been gruzintr on the public domain. All
this portends to thu prosperity and general
Wflfuro of the state.
Not much wiis done in the oil fields , but
those are destined to become a great scene of
industry as boon as the railway is extended
westward from Casper to tap the Sweet-
Svutcr district. The state geologist has
truccd out the oil belt tif the state and out
lined H on a map , M hlch .shows n licit some
'ulxty or seventy miles wide , extending from
the northeastern comer of the state to the
southwestern.
' Much was done during the past year In
'constructing irrigating canals , bringing
.thousands of acres of good hind under culti-
YUtioti , and this is peopling thu state with a
'good citizenship. Thcro are numerous largo
[ canal iiiturpriscs which will bo pushed ahead
during this year.
Unless all signs fall , the present year
promise * to bo n record breaker. Three
great projects nro on the list , and if carried
out on the bcalo outlined in prospectuses
the result must bo u marked growth In imp
utation and wealth. It Is reasonably certain
< thitt the Burlington will bo pushed on to
Montana , It la also given out that a west
ern line will bo built In Idaho , south of the
southern boundary of the National park.
Doth lines will | K > uotrato virgin country ,
presumably rich In mineral and known to bo
unexcelled for grazing and for cereal and
root crops. The projected extension of the
Chicago < fc Northwestern from Casper south
west to Ogdcn , U. T. . , will stimulate activity
in thu oil Holds and increase settlement in
the famous Swcetwatcr and Green river
valleys. The route follows up the North
Platte from Casper to the Swcetwatcr and
up th < Swcetwator to the old South Pass.
Hero It goes over its highest point , which Is
about 0,500 , feet. Then it cuts across
ono segment of the Green river basin ,
crosses the Green and through another seg
ment and strikes the Oregon Short Line at
Nutria. It runs fiom there In a generally
parallel line to the Union Pacific main line
until u few miles from Ogdcn , when it drops
southwesterly into that city. At Nutria the
road is not more than twenty miles from the
overland road. There has never been a
railroad project which will open up so much
naturally fertile and easily irrigated virgin
country as this ono. All along the Sweet-
water there Is n beautiful country , with
plenty of water. Our canals will render the
Green river basin equally as productive , nnd
wo believe more so. This great area will be
filled with agriculturists , Then there Is the
gold mining. Kvery gulch which heads in
the mountains north and west of the Swcct-
water and runs into that stream has line
placer ground.
The Green Hiver Development company
recently organized is making preparations to
begin active work in a very short time. This
company has plenty of capital behind it , and
if its plans materialize it will bo n great
thing for southwestern Wyoming. The first
work will bo the construction of a large
canal , to run from'the Black Fork and drain
Green river , covering in its curved sweep
120 miles of space. The company owns u
largo area of country , including the town of
Johnston , and proposes not only the develop *
incut of agriculture by means of irrigation ,
but also tbo coal and iron measures in the
vicinity , as well as the precious mctala.

An outline of Colorado's footings for 1892
measures the progressive pace of the state.
The total bullion output was $32,34,5T1 ! ) , of
which $1,717,590 was gold and $22,023,573 was
silver and the balaco lead nnd copper. The
gold product does not vary much from the
preceding year. The silver product was 20-
542,135 ounces. On every ounce there was a
loss of 10 cents from last year's price , and a
loss of about 40 cents an ounce because silver
was not received at the mint at $1.20.
The agricultural and horticultural produc
tion shows an aggregate of $43,000,000.
The public lands in Colorado are fast pass
ing into the hands of individuals and nro
being turned from their desert condition into
farms and mines. There were 733,220 acres
of land entered during the year throughout
the state. Tbo total receipts of the eleven
land ofllces were $330,074.70.
Transactions in real estate in Denver
reached the enormous total of $41,750,701.
Tbo building record shows an expenditure
of $7,822.000. The bank exchanges aggregate
$205,000,000 , an increase of about 12 per
cent over Ib91. The resources of the clear-
lug house banks give a combined total of
$2y,217,437.44 , an increase of $3,550,075.40 over
the closu of last year. The railroad mileage
in Colorado aggregates 5,271.73 miles. The
manufacturing output of Denver was $ IG- ,
111,015. the amount paid as wages being
SH ( 1,804. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ '
UTAH.
Duprc-sir-il Prices All'octi the General Jlo-
siilts.
Utah's record for the year does not reach
the proportions hoped for by the more san
guine at the outset. The steady decline in
the price of silver and lead seriously cur
tailed the value of the bullion output. In
the old reliable paying mines the greatest
economy was necessary , while many mines
were forced to close , being unable to meet ex
penses. The famous Ontario mine passed a
dividend , and in addition had disbursed u
surplus of $150,000. Some of the Bingham
mines are about to close unless the miners
agree to a reduction.
At Tintio some of the chief mines have
been shut down , and the cut in wages will
bo proposed about the 15th of January.
From all the chief producing propertiesconio
proposals to cut wages or make heavy
drafts , the latter already having taken
effect.
But that Is the darkest picture. Ucliof
will come to the mines4 > y lower freights ,
both for material and supplies brought in
and for the product shipped out. Already
Steps are being taken to that end. This ad
justment will start everything up again
about as well as the average for the two
years past. In the meantime the copper
properties nro on top. There is a good deal
of copper in Utah and attention is being
directed to it. The product is oven now a
considerable and Increasing factor.
The mine product for the territory Is
slightly greater in quantity than that of

Salt Lake City is moro encouraged than
for mouths post by the incorporation of a
company to build a railroad westward into
Nevada. Some of the strongest men llnan-
cially in the city are named in the incor
poration , and they say tney are in the inter
est of eastern capitalists who will bo hero
next mouth to take hold of the enterprise
with power. It is quite possible that this
might form the eastern link of the Sun
Francisco project to build hitlicr.
The general commercial business is greater
for 1802 than for 1801. There nro moro people
ple to bo fed and clothed and gradually man
ufactures nro getting established.
A gratifying feature of the many healthy
enterprises of Salt Lake during the past
year is the beginning of school houses on
modern Ideas. The city was two years ago
for thu ilrst time consolidated into a manage
ment for schools. Bonds were voted nnd
about half n million dollars is being spent
this year in school houses. These are largo
and line structures , a credit to the city nnd
to the board of education , under whose nus-
pices they nro going up.
Ogden has prospered this year. Very re
cently the agreement has been made by the
Southern Pacificto move its shops from
Cnrlin mid Ten-act' to Ogden. It is claimed
that the Kiu Grande Western shops , now at
Salt Lake , are to lm moved to that city. So ,
all in all , Ogdcn has no reason to complain
of the year. A good deal of substantial
building has been done in that city , and in
this school houses also llguro extensively.
The railroads have increased their bust-
ness soiuo 113 per cent as compared with lust
year. Now construction includes iv Hio
Grundo Western track from Provo to Silver
City and Tintlc , seventy-live miles , and
another extension of equal length up the
Lewis valley.
MONTANA.
A General Ailvuuco in All Mum of In- ,
duitry.
Montana's record for 18W is fully up to the
average , despite the depression In silver ,
Thu exact valueof the bullion output is not
known , but it is estimated at $30,000,000 , the
principal producers being the Granite Moun
tain , Ill-Metallic , Combination , Lexington ,
Moulton , Alice and Drum Lumon. All of
those are dividend-paying mines. To this
may bo added $10,000,000 as the copper pro
duct. The Anaconda , Boston and Montana ,
Butte uud Boston , Parrot , and Gaguon
wcro the principal producers. The
Anftconda'8 outmit was curtailed
about one-half of Us full capacity. The
Dutto and Boston's smelting plant was de
stroyed by nro early In the year and opera-
tlons were not resumed till late In autumn ,
which decreased Its output one-half , All of
the mines In Butte the great mining center
of the northwest arc look Ing moro and more
promising the deeper they are explored.
This Is especially true of the copper proper-
tics. The leading mines have been devel
oped to a depth of 1,000 feet , whore the
veins arc showing greater width and the
ore bodies gain Increased percentage of
copper.
The reduction of gold ores by the cyanide
process has been introduced In different
parts of the state , notably in Madison
county , and has proved a success In the
treatment of refractory low grade ores.
Placer mining is still carried on to some
extent by hydraulic washing on the bars
along Pioneer , Confederate , Alder and other
gulches. The output for 1SW will probably
aggregate $1,000,000 , but the "diggings"
the glory and glamonr of pioneer days are
n thing of the past.
The live stock Interests have flourished
during the year and contributed the usual
annual revenue to stockmen. Shipments of
cattle to eastern markets , principally Chicago
cage , aggregated 100,000 head.
The wool clip , mostly from the northern
part of the state , In Cascade. Chotcau nnd
Fergus counties , amounted to 12,000,000
pounds. It Is of a superior quality and much
sought after In New Kngland markets.
The breeding of thoroughbred horses Is
now ono of Montana's leading Industries.
The Klvcrsldo ranch of Marcus Daly , in the
Bitter Hoot valley , Is one of the largest and
best appointed breeding farms In the country ,
The llrst sale of Montana-bred horses from
tills farm was maflo in New York this year.
The youngsters attracted special attention
nnd brought coed prices.
in railroad building the Great Northern
company's extension of Its main line to the
coast opened up the Flathcad country to set
tlement. The road cuts clear through north
ern Montana from Havre , the Junction of its
line to Butle , to Hobbs Ferryon thu extreme
western Iwrdcr of the state , a distance of 405
miles. The agricultural resources of this
region are capable of sustaining thousands
of families. It is an empire In itself. This
road also taps almost Inexhaustible forests
of lir , pine and cedar that skirt the foothills.
ICalispel and Columbia Falls , two thrifty
towns , created in anticipation of the rail
road , have doubled In population during the
year.
The agricultural Interests have flourished
exceptionally well. The heavy rainfall dur
ing the summer supplied every requisite for
a bountiful harvest , which was fully realized
in nil ot the fertile valleys , Butte furnishing
a ready market for these products. The
data of the volume of agricultural products
are not yet compiled. There has been great
Interest in irrigation enterprises , and many
thousands of ncrcs have been supplied with
water.
IDAHO.
Thn Coin of the ICoclilos Knjoj s a Prosperous
Year.
Behind the diamond excitement , the opal
rush nnd the placer stampede , thcro has
been a healthful growth in all business lines
In Idahq. In the past Idaho has depended
moro on the mining industry than on any of
her other resources. It was llrst her rich
placers that caused the rush thirty or moro
years ago to its gulches and basins by people
In search of gold. Next came the quartz
lodes with their gold , silver , lead and copper
ores , and it was these lodes that brought to
the then fair territory the vast amount
of capital requisite to do mining. As
long as the metals kept up in price
thcro wcro prosperous times in Idaho nnd
citizens wcro so much engrossed in mining
as to leave the tilling of the soil almost en
tirely neglected. However , it was always a
great grazing country over since men began
to make their homes there. Gradually a few
men turned their attention to tilling the soil
until this branch of industry has become
moro popular and to it is mostly duo the
prosperity which crowned the state during
the year Just closed. There are few if any
states which have richer soil and
liner climate , and where farming is easier
than in Idaho , wherever a sufficient amount
of water is secured to thoroughly irrigate.
With this great requisite the product of nil
field crops and of fruits are simply phe
nomenal , both in quantity and quality. Six
or seven years ago the common fruits wcro
almost a rarity in the territory , and then it
generally came from the outside. The
change is best illustrated in the fact that
during the past summer uud full the Oregon
Short Line hauled carload lots of apples ,
pcachcii , pears , prunes and grapes
to cities eostward , chiefly Den
ver and Omaha , to take the place of Cali
fornia fruits which had heretofore supplied
their markets. The favor which fruit grown
in the Snake river valley has gained , is caus
ing the planting of many orchards and it docs
not need a prophet to predict that within
the next live or ten years that section of
country will become almost a solid orchard
and as noted for fruits as California has
been in the past. These features are causing
the country to be settled up rapidly , and so
many irrigating canals are started and com
pleted that ono must go to the records to be
able to name them. Some of these are on a
gigantic scale , costing hundreds of thousands
of dollars for construction. The fields and
orchards and the cattle and the sheep nro
great factors in the prosperity of Idaho , and
these are all the time growing In Importance.
The total receipts of the state treasury
from November 15 , 1890 , to December 31 ,
1S91 , wcro $321.215.75 ; the total disburse
ments were $247,501,57 ; cash on hand , $7- ! )
714.18. The total receipts from all sources ,
Including cash on hand , for the fiscal year
1892 were $421,510.75 ; nnd the disbursements
were $32. " > ,79. > .58 , and the cash on hand in all
the funds January 1 , 1893 , was $98.24.15.
Governor Wiley reports the bonded indebt
edness of the state at $20.000. The amount
of taxable property in Idaho is not far from
$10,000,000. Fifty thousand dollars have been
expended in the construction of the state
wagon road ; $20,000 has been expended in
providing for Idaho's exhibit at the Chicago
World's fair.
The Boise National bank for Wells , Fargo
& Co. lias collected the statistics for Idaho
for the year Just closed. The figures areas
follows : Gold , $1,700,000 ; silver , $2,793,000 ;
lead , $2,475,000 , ; total , $7,003,000. In 1891 the
production was : Gold , $3,150,000 ; silver ,
$5155,000 ; lead , $4,200,000 ; copper , $75,000 ;
total , $8,0)0,000ra ! ) decrease In the production
of $1,017,000. The decrease was duo prin-
cipullp to the fact that many mines are shut
down owing to the low price of silver.
Boise City , the capital of the state , has
scored a good record for all kinds of Improve
ments. The amount expended in now build
ings this year will reach $250,000. ,
NIIVADA.
Nothing to IJrilK Aliout , Mill the I't-ojilo Are
Jlopi'Tnl.
Nevada is the only cloud In the western
horizon of prosperity. The continued low
price of silver has paralyzed mining inter
ests , and to this must be attributed the de
crease of population , Heretofore mining was
followed exclusively. Now the * residents
are forced to devote their energies to other
and better paying resources , Vast areas of
the state may bo rendered productive by
moans of irrigation , and numerous mountain-
locked lakes furnish tin unfailing source of
supply.
The total bullion output of the state for
the year Just closed did not exceed $4,000KX ( )
against-a - total of * Sl , 8,000 for 1891. The
most marked falling ofl is In the yield of
Comstock mines , which produced only $ S77J3
in 1892 , while the yield for the preceding year
was $2,500,000.
The total assessed valuation placed upon
property of every description in the state for
1892 exceeds $110,000,000.
Shipments show n constant increase in the
cattle industry ot the state , the southern
counties of which are admirably adapted for
raising live stock on account of the mild
winters In those localities.

In Flfturoa.
California's wonderful nnd varied re
sources need no Introduction to the reader ,
yet few realize the extent to which they are
developed , uud how much the rest of the
country draws upon the state for luxuries
and necessaries , A few figures from the
books of ' 02 will prove Interesting.
The product of California fisheries yielded
84,500,000. Twenty-threo million pounds of
beet sugar wcro produced , 600,000 jiounds of
petroleum , 27,250 flasks of quicksilver , and
12,000,000 , pounds of borax. The farmers ox-
ported 10,707.MT ccnlAH of wheat , and have
700,000 tons on hand < to , keep the wolf from
thodrior , The value nf. the wheat exports
was 10tt3S ! . In addition 1.100,400 Inrrels
of flour , valued nl f-l.fllS.MT , wcro manu
factured nnd sent ala'eiwl. To prevent Indi
gestion the state sent .alone 050,738 gallons of
brandy valued at ? Oa3. ( and 10,403,371
gallons of wino wortlff , W3C33.
Speaking of crops , Micro wcro 7(1MM.500 (

raisins , 30,000,000 pounds of prunes , 39,750
bales of hops , -l.GOO carloads of oranges and
a ,000,000 pounds of Wifol.
There are 401,415 acres of orchards In the
state containing 40,000,000 trees , 3.550,000
acres Irrigated , and .T.MX ) artesian wells.
The assessed valuation of all property In

421,103 ; total railroad mileage , 4,490.
San Francisco shows an advance In keep
ing with the development of the state. The
assessed value of real and personal property
in 1850 was $21,021,210 , , and In 1802 , or forty-
two years later. It was $352,370,837. The
mechanical and manufacturing Industries
for the fiscal year ending Juno 80 , IbW ,
showed the employment of 35,204 men , women ,
boys and girls , nnd their aggregate value of

n Oregon long ago passed the stage of spasmodic
medic development. Her pace is not bril
liant but steady , which in the long run
proves the winner. Crops have been abund
ant with the exception of fruit , which
for the first time intho history of
the state has boon a failure. The
agricultural population have given evi
dence of ! their Independence by selling their
products sparingly , as the market suited
them , nnd nearly 50 per cent of the wheat
crop is still in first hands. The foreign flour
export for 1891 amounted to $1,833,000 ; this
year it reaches $2,280,00.
Uaih-oad building throughout the state has
been limited to the apparent needs of trade.
The Coos Bay & Eastern Is moving bravely
on from Murshlleld to Hoscburg. Con
siderable work has been done on
the railroad 'rom Astoria to Portland ,
Oregon now Mias probably twelve cities of
from 5,000 to 20,000 people , all of which have
shown a class of improvement during the
year indicative of the highest style of pro
gress. The number of elegant homes and
architecturally imposing business blocks
has fully doubled during 1S92 in Ashland ,
Koseburg , Eugene , Albany , The Dalles , Pen-
"dleton , Baker City , La Grande , Astoria and
Salem. The last named , the capital of the
state , rejoices also in an extensive electric
street car system and $90,000 worth of im
provements to the capitol building.
A work of vast benefit to the state has
been the deepening of the river channels by
the Port of Portland commission. This
body , created by the last legislature , has for
its object the securing and maintaining of a
twenty-live foot channel from Portland to
the sea , for which purpose it is authorized
to Issue bonds to the amount of $500,000.
The city of Portland , which' continues to
represent about one-third of itho taxpaying
wealth of the state , lias been called upon in
its commerce and industries to face u prob
lem which seriously threatens Its interests.
The assimilation of the Pacific coast and the
trade centers of the 0,13 } . , which began with
the first transcontinental railroad , has been
increasing in a sort of'geometrical ' ratio with
each succeeding year , until now a crisis has
arrived which -calls for radical measures.
The Jobbing trade Of Portland , always large ,
and which has increased rapidly during the
past five years , is now threatened with inva
sion from the cast. '
The northwestern territory from the Rock
ies to the coast has been tributary to Port
land for many years'bii't , within the past
eighteen months the skirmish line of the
eastern jobbing salesman has 'been pushed ,
not only into Colorado and Idaho , but up
tbo very doors / > f Portland herself. The re
sult has been seen In alnumbcr of consolida
tions of largo Portlaud'liouscs , in the pro
posed retirement of "others from business
and in an aggregate of'serious failures which
surpass any previous epoch. There is unfor
tunately no data upon which to predicate the
extent of this inroad. Those who have es
sayed statistics of Portland's Jobbing trade
have differed widely.
The manufacturing industries , many of
them , present a similar condition. This
section , in common with the rest of the
coast , cherishing the customs of the "good
times" before the transcontinental lines
wcro built , has always maintained higher
prices for labor and commodities than the
east , and has furnished better materials
in competition with the eastern product.
This is principally noticeable in its chief
industry , the manufacture of lumber and
those allied enterprises of which it is the
parent , the making of sash , doors and
blinds , furniture , wooden boxes , etc.
Thcro has becn.a falling off in the lumber
output from $2,145,070 to fl,800,000 ; in sash
and doors from $701,248 to $053,934. This is
partly to bo accounted for by the decline in
lirices , but moro from the inroads of eastern
competition.
Other lines of business in Portland show
generally increased activity. The bunks
have grown from sixteen to twenty , with
$10,500,000 deposits , and assets of $28.007,000.
The bank clearings will reach $110,000,000 us
against $103,000,000 in 1891. The building
operations of the year have been upwards of
$7,000,000 and have included some structures
of great merit.

say. The deed is on record in the county
register's ollico hero , Billingsleu's friends

somebody else's theft upon a man who may
not be in a position to defend himself. They
