“While 9,000 Islands are few, per­

Great Britain, Holland and Frauce,
yet American territorial Islands deco­
rate the oceans like star galaxies or­
nament the heavens.
“The Philippines are the 'Milky Way*

mately eight thousand islands. Every­

Great Britain, the United States and

said, the first departure from our nn

RETIREMENT OF DERT
ADMINISTRATION PLAN
Washington, D. C. — Rapid retire
ment of the public debt will continue
to be an administration policy under
President Hoover and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon.
Despite a program for Increased ex­
penditures for public works and a
possibility of another tax cut within
a year or two. It Is estimated that the
outstanding public debt can be sub­
stantially wiped ont within less than
I t years.
Retirements through the sinking
fund, together with amounts to be
received from European governments
under present debt-funding agree­
ments, will pay off the entire debt,
now standing at a little less than >17.-
000,000,000, by 1947. By adding to
these debt retirements surplus rev­
enues the debt can be paid off In a
somewhat shorter period.
During the present fiscal year end
lng June SO, next. It Is anticipated
that about >540.000,000 of the princi­
pal of the public debt will be retired,
not Including whatever margin there
is during the fiscal year between or
dlnary receipts and expenditures. The
surplus for the year seems certain to
amount to at least >100.000,000 and
possibly to >150.000.000 or more.

College, says th a t more winter wheat
is to be produced in the United States
in 1929 than last year, but less in the
Pacific northwest, according to pres­
ent indications. T he estimate fo r
thia y e a r’s harvest in Oregon is 16,-
638,000 bushels, fo r Washington 22,-
982,000, fo r Idaho. 11,096,000 and
fo r the U nited States 595,335,000.

20,088,000 bushels, Washington 35,-
600,000, Idaho 10,488,090 and United
States 578,964,000.
Mr. K ent says
that no estimates for the 1929 spring
wheat crop are yet arguable, but with
the big erojf in winW r wheat indi­
cations it seems certain that the 1929
total w heat crop of the Pacific north­

less than last year. The 1928 spring
wheat production fo r the three states
was estimated a t 19,442,000 bushels
