OUN'S REVIEW or JRADE
Developments Have Been Great
Bright Prospects For The
New Year

In reviewing the past years
work K. G.. Dun has the follow
ing to say with regard to the
conditions Of the country:
Looking back upon 1909, the
distinguishing development of
the year was that of rapid and
full recovery from the depres-
sion Of 1908. Statistics for the
calender year will not disclose
the full measure of the gains
made, for it was not until the
latter half that the industries
began 70 expand by leaps and
bounds. Abundant crops, Great
ing new wealth, and inspiring
new wants in the agricultural
sections Of the country were the
basis Of the wonderful uplift.
An abundance of capital at rea-
sonable rates, comparitiYe free
dom from political excitement,
the enactment of a new tariff,
ending an agitation disturbing
the trade, and the disclosure to
the country that the crisis of
1907, severe as it was, had not
in reality weakened the founda-
tons of business; these contri-
buted nightly to the rapidity of
the recovery, making it possible
for the markets to combat even
the powerful influence of the
high commodity prices. The
volume of bank clearings rose toI
such heights that the total for
the entire year. S16j, 800, 900. 900. |
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1910-01-13

exceeded that of 1905 by 1913,
lo0000,00O and as compared
with 1906, the previous high
water mark, by So, 900, 100000.
Railroad traffic expanded in like
measure, and the gross earnings
made enormous increases over
1905 and even approached the
high figures of 1907, prior to the
panic. The general recovery in
business displayed considerable
irreuglarity in spots, the advance
movement not being every
where of the same rapidity, but
the West, which profted so i'm
mensely by the richness of the
crops marketed at high prices,
naturally showed the greatest
gains, yet there was no doubling
the reality Of the prosperity that
had been achieved.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
The year 1909 has been nota-
BILE for its satisfactory agricul-
tural results, especially the enor-
nous products of breadstuffs
and the high prices reached in
the markets. The area under
winter wheat for 1909 was only
q, $50, 600 acres, compared with
30, $40, 600 acres the year before.
The plant, however made strong
roots and during the warm days
Of the summer, the plant grew
strong, and the crop of winter
proved to be 446, 366, 600, an in
crease of s, ass, 600 bushels on a
of l,159, 600 acres. Pre-
yailing high prices and the pros
)ect of a diminished European
supply stimulated the farmers

come of the growth is definitely
known, but @ material shrnkage
from the preyior seasons UNI
prcccdentcd harvest Is conceded,
and the government has placed
the difference at about 3, 500, 600
bales. Early in the year atten-
tion was directed chiefly to the
absence Of rainfall in Texas,
while excessive moisture was a
factor in other sections. When
it became apparent that an eX-
tremely short crop was practi-
cally certain, speculative opera
tons became very active and
gradually forced prices to a
figure that resulted in much cur
tailment in production of finish
ed goods, on account Of the ina
bility of manufacturers TO obtain
prices commensurate with the
rapid rise in the cost of the raw
material. After the sharp adj
vance that followed the govern
ments estimate Of only about
10, 600, 600 bales appeared early
in December, there was a short
period Of liquidation, but subse-
quent prices again touched new
records, the May option rising
above Is cents. -

ACCIDENT TO VALLEJO
PRINCIPAL WATER MAIN
Break in Big Pipe Discovered
at Opporfune Time
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

VALLEJO, June 1.-The city of Val
lejo, the possessor of one of the finest
municipality owned and operated water
systems in the United States, hada mar
row escape yesterday from being face
to face with water famine.
At an early hour in the morning a
section of the IA inch main running
from the diverting dam at Lake Frey in
Green valley to the storage reservoir at
Fleming hill, near town, blew out
The break, which was about two feet
In length, was promptly discovered and
as soon as the news could be telephoned
to this city Superintendent of Water
George H. Savage took a gang of work.
men to the scene to repair the damage.
After laboring all day and part of the
night the broken main was replaced by
new section, and although the water
was turned off for two hours the people
of this city did not learn of the accident
until the damage had been repaired
Had the burst pipe not been discov-
cred at such an opportune time it might
have taken several days to repair the
break, and at this time of the year the
Fleming hill reservoir would probably
be exhausted in that time.
To guard against just such situations
as that which almost confronted the
city yesterday 1T is now the intention of
the city authorities to call a bond cleo
ton in the near future for the purpose
OF securing funds for the construction
of an auxiliary reservoir at Fleming
hill to hold 100000 gallons
