PACIFIC GOAST {5 eseuke LOOKING 10 BETTER BUSINESS, BABSON SAYS Prospects for Lumber, Fishing, Shipping and Agri- - culture Good in Oregon and Washington, Expert Reports From Statistics and Correspondents. MOUNTAIN LAKE, Fila., March 30.—Roger W. Babson as resting here having just completed his long trip of inspec- tion throughout the different sections of the United States. -He leaves here next week for his home in Wellesley Hills, =Mass. This morning he issued the following statement re- tgarding the business propects of the Pacific coast. He added, showever, that he was unfortunately} eunable to visit the Coast on this trip| “and this statement {s based upon sta- | {stical data and reports from his cor- respondents. | “The Pacific Northwest,” says Mr. Babson, “is looking forward to better Sbusiness. Prospects are encouraging “for lumber, fishing, shipping and ag- riculture, Practically all of the large! geewmills of Washington and Oregon| are now operating, and production | is above normal. A number of mills| fare even operating two or three-elght-| jour shifts. Orders for lumber are Saveraging larger than production in “spite of strengthening prices. Many mills have sufficient business on ‘their books to keep them running at geapacity for some months. On the “whole the lumber outlook is good for metime. Of course, the building boom is largely responsible for this active demand. Later, there may be a let-up, but I look for active resi- Giential building throughout tho great: “cr part of 1923. 2 “Salmon canning has a fairly good| feutlook. Plans have been made for a substantial increase in the pack this ‘year. The employment of more men nd the purchases from ships’ chand ers, canmaking plants, machinery Shouses, and food and clothing estab-| lishments, will continue to contribute | towards better business. From an ag- ricultural standpoint, Washington ‘end Oregon are in a better position Bhan most states. Crop diversifica ‘tion is an outstanding factor. More: ‘over, the crop yield each year is ex- ‘reptionally heavy. Apples, hops, ber- ies and small fruits all bring wealth o the grower. Under these condi- “wawest enters the new crop year in a ‘trong position. This year’s crop can- thot be fully forecast, but wheat came thru the winter in excellent shape sand the canneries appear to have con- “tracted for a large amount of berries thnd small fruit. “With lumber production at high Jevels, with more active cannery op. ‘rations than a year ago, with con- #iderable ready cash in the fruit, ‘sheep, and farming country, and with thn increase in shipp'g trade, the Pa cific northwest is headed towards a gratifying increase ty busine&s. _Uni- Jorm and complete prosperity cannot the expected for some time and there Will be intermediate reactions. The gutlook is relatively good, however, and advertising and selling campaigns in this section should produce gen erously. The prosperous Wenatchee Valley is most attractive;; but Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and other Wash ington and Oregon cities also merit attention. “Regarding California,” Mr. Bab- son says, “the northern part of Call- fornia has been settling down with the rest of the country. Lumbering. mining, stockrasing, wool growing, canning and other lines, have been quite thoroly liquidated. San Fran- cisco and the Bay region have been dull for over a year. For this part of the state+a slow but steady im provement {s in prospect, Southern | California, on the other hand, did not |reach the peak of the present c | until the latter part of 1921. le It will doubtless escape the critical phases ot the depression; nevertheless, it may not have completed its period of re. adjustment. “Many factors suggest this outlook for Southern California. I see noth ing in any of these factors, however to occasion alarm. The great di sity of crops and industries upon which California depends and the ef ficient marketing characteristic of the state should tend to prevent any serious depressio I emphasize the probability of further moderate l'qul dation, as I know from my corres pondence that many look for uninter rupted expansion. For the long pull, California is unquestionably, sound but during 1 business may mark time. Southern California should be included in all sales campaigns, but as the years progress both sales and credit departments should progress carefully, “In explaining the reason for this,” Mr. Babson continued: “if you pic ture the country as a placid lake and imagine that somebody drops a rock into New York, you will get a vivid dea of how an economic movement begins and develops. ‘The ripp depression and prosperity spre the North, the West and the South. ‘Take the recent depression, for ex. ample. It started in the Northeast, with a decline in the stock market and a slowing down of New England factories. . Then came the crash in the Agricultural West and the South.

There was a district de- cline in Washington, Oregon, and nor- thern California. Moreover, this de. cline did not develop until some time after the onslaught of the depression in the Northeast. All this was en tirely typical and easily forecast. TWO STILLS LOGATED IN WEST RMILROAD.
