mits issued last week and five
permits issued a year ago.
The permit valuation was greatly-increased

ovise the' 85 year old house, now
standing on the courthouse lawn.
The permit valuation was given

WASHINGTON, Dec - l.-tfV
The suggestion that an upward
cycle swing in business has begun
was enclosed today in an official
memorandum, drawn by a federal
economist and circulated among
officials in one Important govern
ment agency, i v . 7-
.Three other government econr
omists,' although unwilling to be
quoted, are known to have tenta
tively reached this same conclu
sion.. , '. 1 , - :f- -
A. cyclical swing is ordinarily
understood to mean a long term
movement of business.
This opinion, ' however, is not
now held by all government ex
perts. In fact, : many ot -them
doubt that there is such a thing as
this kind, of an economic cycle
There is evidence on both sides of
the long term upward-swing. the
sis, i . . ; , : .-
The principal j tangible support
of the theory Is the movement ot
various statistical I n d I e a t o r s
against the usual trend." This does
not .necessarily, mean that condi
tions' now. are unusually good,- but
simply that the economic signals
are pointing up despite depression
forces.' . i ' , i . '

FOREST EIRE LOSS
LOWEST
Forest fire losses for the year
1934 on lands under the Jurisdic
tion of the' state forestry depart
ment were the lowest for any sea
son during; the past 13 years,
Lynn Cronemlller, state forrester,
reported Saturday. He placed the
monetary loss for 1934 at $123,
453... 'Vf ' i ,
This loss'' Included approximate
ly nine mllion feet ot timber val
ued at $27,500. Damage to logs
and logging equipment was $35,
000. Other losses Included $13,
400 to settlers and ImproTementa
within the forests and $42,397 to
Immature forests or potential for
est land, f . -
.CronenjJDer said he attributed
the reduction In the. fire loss to
the operators' permit, law which
was enacted at the 1933 legisla
tive session. This act ' gives the
state forester authority to close
down, air woods operations during
periods of-high, fire hazard; ;The
law ' was ia volked twice d urlng
the 19 34 fire season, once for a
period o six days and another
for a period of three days. !'

The talk was about the signs

The Wyoming, carrying the mid
shipmen football. squad, was fol
lowed by porpoises, a sailor's
brightest omen; midshipmen on
the Nebraska were trailed by
sharks, but they weren't going, o
