BUSINESS REVIEW
Profitable Year for Banks-Gen-
eral Trade Relax After
HOLIDAYS

New York, Jan. Following is
the weekly review of business by
Bradstreet's commercial agency:
Few really new features present
themselves this week, usually a
period of holiday d~ullness, end of year
inventories and restricted industrial
activities. Information as to dis
%tributive trade points to the past year
as having about equaled 1912.
Summarized reports indicate irregu-
lar holiday trade results, generally
profitable year by banks, with divi.
dends in most cases maintained; re-
entry of the railroads into the steel
rail market, lower prices for pig iron
and rather more than the usual num-
Der of shutGowns over the holidays
by leading industries. with, however,
promise of many quick assumptions
early in Jnauary. Rather more than
the usual list of business failures
have been reported and what has
been termed the holiday crop of such
trouble is numerous and large.
Business failures for the week were
800, which compares with 2S7 in 1918.
Wheat, including -four, exports for the
week aggregate 5.S01, 412 bushels,
against 4, 596, 6lS last year.

Former South Dakotans Own

Edgemont, Jan. 5.-South Dakota
men, in the persons of w. w. Wright
and his son, Walter Wright, promir-
ent mining msn of Fall River county,
have every prospect of becoming the
radium kings of America.
They own mining ground about 20
miles west of the Dolores river, in the
Rocky mountain region of southeast
ern Utah, upon which radium- bearing
ores have been discovered. Walter
Wright now is making a visit to his
home in this city and has consented to
make a statement 10 reference to the
discovery.
"The deposits of caInotite. or radi-
um bearing ore," said he, ''have
been discovered at the foot of the La.
Sale mountains and indications are
that they will excel those of the Para
dox district. More than 100 claims,
which show ore have been located, the
ore from some of them running as high

to the increased demand and the higher

According to Mr.. Wright the dis.

the European buyers of radium- bear
ing ore are offering about 70 per cent
more than they did six months ago be-
cause of the increasing demand for the
precious metal. This enables the pro-
ducers in that district to obtain about
$50 per ton for ores which carry one
and one-half per cent uranium oxide.

WAGNER CHOSEN
Proposed Committeeman Nomi-
nate Judge for Second
Judicial District

Sioux Falls, Jan. 5.-The majority
faction of the republican party for
this judicial circuit Saturday after
noon endorsed E. E. Wagner as the
candidate of that faction of the repub-
lican party. 1t required two votes to
settle the controversy, but on the
second vote Mr.. Wagner received a
majority of the votes cast in each of
the six counties.
The meeting was called to Order
shortly after II o'clock by j. w.
Boyce, who had been agreed upon in
advance.
As soon as Mr.. Boyce announced
that nominations for chairman of the
meeting were in order several were
on their feet at once.
Ole Hogenson of Lincoln county
placed William M. Cnppett of Canton
in nomination end j. d. Mclaughlin
of Sioux Falls placed the name of J.
o. Jones before the meeting. Under
the primary it was necessary to take a
ballot and Mr.. Jones was elected..by a
good majority.
John K. Booth of Ramona. Lake
county, was made secretary, and Geo.
E. Todd of Bridgewater, McCook
county, assistant secretary.
W. Nj. Cuppett of Lincoln county
threw a scare into the Wagner ranks by
moving an adjournment, which motion
was not debatabls, but the chairman
permitted Lewis Larson, who was the
marshal of the Waener forces to talk
against adjournment, permitting Mr..
Larson to tell the proposal men what
duties were. Mr.. Cuppett, with u
broad smile on his face. explained that
his motion for an adjournment (the
noon hnu1 having been reached) was
for the purpose of permitting the dele
gates to get their dinner. But he
would withdraw the motion.
A vote was then ordered on the selec-
ton of a candidate for judge. The
informal ballot stood as follows:
Wagner 1888.
Jones, 3,419.
Scott, 1875.
Blewett, 1.l27.
Kennedy, 1928.
j. d. Mclaughlin moved to make
the informal ballot formal bat was in
formed that the primary law would
not permit of this and a formal ballot
was ordered.
1t was apparent at the very outset
that some sort of a dicker had been
made as the Jones vote began sliding
to Wagner. Several Of the precincts
ia Minnehsha county, which were the
first called, jumped to the Wagner
column.
Lincoln, which had not given Wag
ner a vote on the informal ballot,
swung heavily over to the Wagner col
umn. McCook county, which had
practically split even between Wagner
and Jones on the first ballot gave all
its votes but II to Wagner.
Moody and Lake both cast their
entire vote for Wagner.
The vote on the final ballot as be-
tween Wagner and Jones was:
Wagner S.31S.
Jones, 2,343.

STOLEN RAO|UM
May Be Fatal to Thief Who
Possesses Ii

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Search by police
and hospital authorities failed to dis
close any clue to 35 %milligrams of
radium believed to have been lost or
stolen several days ago during treat
ment of a cance patient. Unless the
person having the precious particle of
radium--it is half the size of a pins
head and worth 81, 500-in his posses
sion. knows how to protect himself
from its influence. it may kill him.
according to the hospital physicians.
If instead of being stolen it is mis-.
laid, it will declare its presence by
its influence on whatever substances
are around it. The sneck of radium
was imported from France by st.
Luke's hospital. II was kept in a
platinum capsule an eighth of an
inch in diameter and three-quarters of
an inch long.
Its last appearance known to the
hospital staff was when the capsule
was placed in an incision in the arm
Of a woman patient. After several
treatments it was found that the car.
sule was inactive. The capsule was
opened and it was found that the radi-
um was gone.
1t would be impossible to sell the
missing radium, it was said. A
record is kept of every particle kuo wn
to exist in the world. and this piece
is on that register. No reputable
physician, laboratory experts say,
would purchase a piece of radium from
an unknown source.
