Tiiifmli can ha-re a crop of 130.000

the Sacramento Valley the acreage was in
creased 40 per cent In 1812 orer 1911. and
last rear the stats produced 117, WO Dales.
t. second crtra from this new acreage
will be heavier than ths first. Oregon, with
proper weather conditions, such aa hare pre
vailed up to this time, can grow 125.000

New Tork State the acreage Is the same as
It was two years ago 10.000 acres and as
tha growers have been busy eradicating the
plant diseases which lately cat down the
crop, they can turn oir tour naiea

out over 2J3.000 bales, and, allowing 50.000
balea for net esports. will leavo a surplus
In this country of 50,000 bales. A shortage
In tha European crop, ot course, would re

Two Additional Units to High School
Building Will Soon Be Com
plcted Church fscd Today.
RAYMOND. Wash, March 24. (Spe
cial.) Though Spring has hardly
besun. Raymond is already experi
encing a building boom that bids fair
to eclipse all previous records in that
line. There has not been a vacant
storeroom, offtce-roora or residence in
this city during: the entire Winter, and
an urgent demand for all three has
started tiie fcprlng building oflt with
a bound.
At the beginning of the school year
It was seen that the school balidlngrs
were going to be taxed to their ca
pacity and the School Board immedi
ately ordered the buildins of two addi
tional units to the High School build
ing. This work is well under way and
the new school will be ready for occu
pancy at tha beginning of the Fall
term this year. The building is of con
crete. Following tha tire on First street
last Fall. Frank Nixon replaced his two
burned buildings with a handsome two
story concrete block which was rented
a month prior to its completion, Febru
ary . Dr. Edward R. Perry Is Just
completing a two-story ornce and resi
dence block of concrete blocks on
Commercial street, between Fifth and
Sixth.
A new Cathollo church has Just been
completed at a cost of J3000 and will
be occupied for the first time tomor
row. H. A. Kalb, a prominent logger of
this city, within a few d3ys. will begin
the erection of a three-story concrete
block opposite the building of Dr.
Perry and adjoining the building of the
latter; Contractor Blauvelt will soon
beeln the construction of another con
crete building of two stories.
The foundation material for the
opera house, on the corner of Third
and Commercial, and a concrete build
ing to be erected by 1 V. Raymond on
the corner of Duryea and Second. Is
being assembled at this time prepara
tory to early construction work.
Plans are being drawn for a church
building for the Presbyterians which
will cost about JS000 and which will be
built this Summer.

dertone In Bond Market.
NEW TORK. March 24. When the stock
market opened toaay after the triple" holi
day there was a brisk demand for stocks for
about an hour. Leading shares were ad
ranced a point or more. Early galna were
cut Into for a time, nut toward the close
stocks moved up a-rain, and final figures
were at about tha highest points of tbe day.
Speculative sentiment waa more cheerful,
but there was the same absence of buying
power which has been a feature of the mar
ket for several weeks.
A reduction In loans of about $80,000,000
has been effected in the last three weeks
and for the first time in several months an
increase In surplus over the corresponding
week of the previous year was reported.
Time money was easier and advices from
abroad indicated that the period of strin
gency was drawing toward an end.
One sign of strength was found In ad
vances by a number of the newer industrials
which rocentiy have shown marked weak
cess. Tha petroleum aharee, Woolworth and
Goodrich made gains. There were a few
weak snots, however. Bumely fell three
noints to a new lew record. New Haven
again collapsed after a brief showing of
strength.
