Bun Francisco, .Aug. 26 Im
provement In business and trade In
the twelfth federal reserve district,
first noted during June, continued
during July, and genernl business
activity during the latter voionth
was near lUe highest levels of the
year. The prospect of satisfactory
yields of the district's principal
crops, nn-i favorable market con
ditions for crops and livestock were
important factors In the mainten
ance of trade volume during the
mouth. Industrial activity increas
ed seasonally during July and, as
In the previous month, was above
the level of a year ago. Gains In
Industrial employment were
ported In all states of the district
during July, 1925, as compared
with July, 1024. The volume of
credit extended by reporting mem
ber banks during July, 1925,' wns
the largest ever recorded, but bor
rowings from the federal reserve
bank continued relatively small In
amount.
Lumber production at reporting
milts of four associations In the dUtf
trlct was fi.4 per cent smaller In
volume during July than during
June, the decrease being the re
fiu It,, chiefly of the customary cui
tallment of lumbering operations
during the first two weeks of July
Out put of reporting mills was
smaller than either sales or ship
ments, which also decreased slight
ly during July, and unfilled orders
were larger, and stocks at produc
ing centers smaller, at the close
the month than at Its beginning.
During July, the flour milling
Industry of the district con tinned
to operate at the low levels of the
first half of the year, but an In
creased demand for milling pro
ducts wns reported and millers
tocks of flour were reduced. Pro
duction of 16 reporting milling com
panics, at 275,634 barrels, was 0.2
per cent and 40.4 per cent smaller
than In June, 1025, and July, 1924,
respectively, and 26.7 per cent
smaller than the five-year average
output for July.
Seasonal activity In commercial
fruit canning and packing continu
ed during July and the first part
of August. Available information
concerning canners' operations
tends to confirm earlier estimates
that the 1925 canned fruit pack
will bo larger In California, and
smaller In Oregon and Washing
ton than one year ago. Prices of
Important canning fruits were ad
vanced during July, as future sales
of the year's pack, In both foreign
and domestic markets, continued
large in volume.
An increase In wool production,
both in this district and in the
United States, Is indicated by pre
liminary government estimates of
the- 1925 clip.
Value of trade at retail, as In
dicated by indexes of sales of 32 :
department stores In seven princi
pal cilles of the district, declined
8.8 per cent during July as com
pared with June. The decrease was
less than the normal seasonal de
crease from June to July, estimat
ed at 10.7 per cent, and the Index,
when adjusted for seasonal varia
tions, advanced from 147 In June,
1925, to 150 In July, 1925. In July
1024, the adjusted index stood at
142. The rate of stock turnover at
reporting stores has been more
rapid, and collections hnve been
more readily made during 1025
than during 1924. Wholesale trade
during July was more active than
a year ago.
MONEY AWAITS
SHEEP GROWERS
Washington, Aug. 26. (A. P.)
The department of agriculture
has $238,206.46 It doesn't know
what to do with. It belongs to
some sheep growers but the de
partment cannot find out who
they are.
In 1918 the war induetrke
bonrd fixed the price of wool and
limited the profits of dealers, who
were required to turn back to the
government for distribution to
growers all profits exceeding a
certain amount.
The excess profits of that year
amounted to 21,489.866 of which
$74,144 has been collected and so
far as possible turned over to the
growers. It has been Impossible
to obtain a record of the owners
of the balance and it has about
been decided to turn It Into the
miscellaneous receipts of the
United States treasury.

When the Hinglings commis

but one way to accomplish this
feat. I would have to have a '

have to have a separate barn where
the hundred and fifty could be
stabled together. These were giv-

In the same relative position. That
is why they never lose their places,

TAX REDUCTION
Portland, Or., Aug. 2G. To
work towards a mutual drive for
economy in cost of government,
representatives from 12 westnrn
stntcs met here yesterday for
the third annunl session of the
Western Etates Taxpayers' con
ference. Governor Pierce, In his address,
declared that the sum total of taxes
cannot be reduced owing to the
rapidly Increasing demands of eo
clcty, but urged a more even dis
tribution of the tnxpaylng bur
den. The governor cited a vast array
of figures to show the rich cor
porations paid a very low tax on
a high valuation. This valuation
was proved by returns made to the
federal income tax department,
whereas the valuatlcfi made to
county and stnte were very low,
he said.
Pierce declared the farmer Is
still carrying the tax burdens and
that efforts should be found to
distribute this burden to corpora
tions and wealthy bond and mort
gage holders.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON
TO FEDERAL AID
ROADS IN STATE
Oregon farmew and tourists now
enjoy 139 miles more of federal
aid highways than they did a year
ago, according to the Sears-Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation. Thin
mileage, completed In the year
ending June 30, cost a total of
12,305,316, of which the federal
government furnished $1,323,270.
Highway construction under this
plan now undor way In the state
totals 13Q miles, while the total
mileage completed previous to last
year was 655 miles.
This additional mileage, while a
convenience to the tourist in the
state, is a godsend to the farmer,
according to the foundation. It is
estimated that each and every
farmer in this section of the coun
try averages 69 tons of farm pro
ducts' hauled to market and 13 tons"
of feed, fuel, fertilizer, machinery,
supplies, etc., from town. When
good roads make trucks feasible
this is not very burdensome, but
it represents a good many hours'
labor where horses and poor roads
must be ued, And so while the
tourist findjs lnter-city roads
mighty comfortable, to the farm
er a good serviceable road from
his farm to the nearest market 1
a downright necossity.
The expansion of hard road sys
tems both in this and other states
in recent years has given the farm
er an added Inducement for going
into business for himself, the foun
dation states. That he has not been
slow to take advantage of the op
portunity is testified in the increas
iny number of roadside markets
ore the more frequented highways.
Figures Bhow that each of theso
markets takes in fifteen to thirty
dollars up to several hundred dol
lars a day, varying with the local
ity, the preponderance of buyerH
being tourists driving through the
vicinity. Soma" of those are noth
ing more than stands of simple
board construction while the more
pretentious arc housed in build
ings which may bo locked after
the day's or the season's business.
The most successful of the markets
are so placed as to have conven
ient parking facilities where pros
pective buyers may examine the
articles of goods, which should be
of good quality yet moderately
priced and attractively displayed.
