McNARY SECURES TARIFF CONCESSIONS Due to the work of Senator Charles McNary, Oregon lum ber and Oregon wool will not become pawns in the game of trade agreements that President floosevelt will probably soon be engaging with foreign nations under the priveleges of the new tariff measure.' The measure, giving the chief executive wide power to raise or lower rates on imports ac cording to his desire in trade pacts he might enter into with other countries, has been passed by the senate and goes ;back to the house for minor changes before soon being re turned to him for his final approval and law. During recent debate on the measure in the senate, Sen ator McNary sensed victory for the bill so, gathering the minority forces behind him tactics wore employed and con cession's won and agreed to by the administration forces that exclude lumber, wool, copper, oil and coal products from pro- ; visions ot any trade agreement the president may make under his new tanit powers.

COUNTY COURT ' rp r,i n ni' Tin a m, iii is, in 4 MINING OUTLOOK BRIGHT Here's an encouraging paragraph, taken from the Mining Review of Salt Lake City : "Increasing activity in the metal mining industry, augmented by $35 gold, and a more favor able outlook for the other metals, is the gladsome refrain now growing in volunle and strength from all sections of the West. A recent survey among 'mure ''than foui' thousand companies from Arizona to the Canadian border gives defin ite evidence of a return to activity . . . Assayers are busy again, old mails are turning wheels that haven't moved in 'more than three years and many new ore treating plants are ; contemplated, smelter receipts show a substantial' increase in ore shipments, and equipment and supply houses are ; awakening, after a long nap, to realize that there is a grow ling interest, in their merchandiso." 1 ' Workers, fanners, storekeepers, professional men, indus trialists of all kinds, will smilo happily on reading that; 'It i means thousands of potential jobs, a vast jump in Western purchasing power, a tremendous field for selling services 'i, and commodities of every kind and shape from legal know f ledge to groceries. And it likewise moans revived tax in- come for government. The outlook for mining-is better than it has been for many years. That, in titrn, considerably im f proves the outlook for recovery in general. HOOVER IS HURT WHENTHROWNOFF MOTORBIKE HERE A. I. Hoover was qulto ecrlounly In jured.
