BANK CLEARINGS AND BANKRUPTCIES.
prune ipfcMn's
BY BERT G. BATE8.
Who's that stranger, mother dear;
Look, he know us ain't he queer?
Hush, my own, don't talk so wild;
He's your father, dearest child.
He's my father, no such thing!
Father died 'way last spring.
Father didn't die, you dub,
Father joined a golfing club;
But they've closed the club, so He
Has no place to go, you see
No place left for him to roam,
That is why he's coming home.
Kiss him, he won't bite you child;
All them golfing guys look wild.

Prominent among the instruments by which the business,
world measures commercial conditions, are the figures of bank
clearing and bankruptcies. Bank clearings might be called the
thermometer of business, registering its periods of warn enthusi
asm, also as some mieht say. its times of cold feet. And bank-

1921 were 25 per cent below those of 1920. But no such decline
in business occurred, since the prices of merchandise and raw
materials must have averaged at least 20 per cent lower in 1921
than in 1920. It would seem as if the actual volume of business
done could not have fallen more than five per cent. Furthermore,
it is noticed that bank clearings do not usually record business
changes until after they happen, since so many of the payments
for goods are not made until a considerable time after the goods
are completed. Consequently the large revival in business occur
ring in the latter half of 1921 has not fully shown itself in these
figures. Bankruptcies for 1921 were not as large as in 1913,
though exceeding all other years. The total liabilities for 1921
wore a little more than twice those of 1915. But since trans
actions during 1921 were measured in greatly enlarged prices,
this increase in total liabilities is not remarkable. 1915 was a
year above the average, as the country was getting a lot of war
business from Europe then. The business world has cause for
satisfaction that no worse results followed the big price decline
of 1920 and 1921. If the extent and suddenness of that fall had
been foreseen, twice as many business catastrophes would have
been predicted. The fact that the country has got along as well
as it has in the face of this shock, shows that conditions are es
sentially sound, and gives reason to expect a large measure of
prosperity in 1922.

Rogue River Valley fruit growers, whose orchards have been
placed under irrigating ditches during the past two years, are
now enthusiastic boosters for water. According to yields reported
from owners who have used water the yield this season is nearly
twice what it was before irrigation was adopted. Here in the
Umpqua valley are thousands of acres of orchard and farm land
lying along water courses that might be irrigated at nominal
cost. Use of water in orchards, on alfalfa fields or clover, as j
well as other field crops, will double the income per acre. In
fact, this is a low estimate, and there is nothing that will take the
place of water that is used at the right time in the season. Groups
of and owners along rivers or creeks can work together in build
ing ditches or installing pumping plants, and returns in one year
alone from the land treatod will probably pay for the investment,
while the produce will be finer, larger and more saleable.
o
With railroads tied up in strikes the fruit men are passing
sleepless nights conjecturing visions of financial loss for want ol
transportation facilities. With completion of the Reedsport road,
which will give outlet for all up-river products to tide water, grow
ers may be relieved of any anxiety. While a deep water harbor
is something also badly needed at the coast line, facilities for ship
ping by schooner via the Panama canal to eastern markets will
frive assurances of fair prices, and at the same time prevent rail
road strikes from doing any great damage to the agricultural
and horticultural interests of the county.

After rending the conclusions of one F. C. Heflron, of Eu
gene and a former resident of Roseburg, on the fate of Dr. U. M.
Brumfield, convicted of murdering Dennis Russell, it is hard to
refrain from remarking that the foolkiller has passed up one
"nut" who is trying to get a little cheap publicity by way of a lot
of silly and nonsensical conclusions that could be credited only
to a senseless idiot. For genuine bunk Helfron should be awarded I
