Successful Farms
Must Have Market

Now wait and see. Take the
New England states and include
New York, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania which has a territory of
only about 80 per cent as great
and yet whose people are pur-
chasing almost $2,0OO,O0O,OOG
worth Of such products yearly.
And these are the states where
the old worn-out farms are fast
being reclaimed to intensified
farming and fruit raising. Why?
Because there is large consum-
ing market-demand right at
hand for quick marketing and at
good prices-where the wage
earners abound in numbers with
their pay envelopes to purchase.
No, Tacoma can never
hope to gain great growth
and prosperity merely by
depending upon the settle
ment of her agricultural
areas surrounding. She must
afford large consuming
city market consistent with
each farm acre titled and the
land settlement will rapidly
follow. Profitable farming
abounds even in the East
where there are 81 buyers
for every IS growers while il
has not proven profitable i'm
Texas where there are only
13 buyers for every Fl grow
ers; and the same law of
market demand obtains
round and about Tacoma.
Now let us return to the prob
lem of the retailers. Taking all
classes of retail stores, banks,
and kindred lines-all people
who depend upon some sort of
local merchandising and we
find that Tacoma has about 50,-
900 people in this pursuit.
These people must all look to
the trading Of the city and its
accrusing profits in trade for
their livelihood - the capital in
vested therein for its capital
earnings, and the operating ex-
penses, etc.

decided increase in net revenue
to the owners or employers with
which to pay both increased
wages and employ more people as
well as afford him greater ability
to help increase the beauty, i'm
provements, ETC., of the city as
well as his contributions to char
tiles, benevolences, etc.
Tacoma, like many other
cities, has ever before il the
problem of q more reason
able profit earning to her
retail merchants, realities,
banks, etc. And it is surely
n fallacy to believe this prob
lem can be solved by attract
ing transient strangers -
tourists, conventions and
other similar means.
Now 1t has been clearly estab-
lished that the average family,
depending upon it's wage-earn-
ings, spends Al per cent of it's
income for what they eat and 25
per cent for what they wear and
use in the ordinary upkeep of the
home. And applying these fig
ures to Tacoma it means that
there is being expended about
$40, 100000 for these two fac
tors of living and of which ST.
5000 goes for clothing, shoes,
and home-furnishings while the
balance goes for foods.
Now divide that amount among
the several stores in each line
and know what the purchasing
power of Tacoma's people is APP
portioned to each store, and see
what it would mean II that pur-
chasing power we're doubled.

one of the worst cases of its kind
that ever came to his notice. The
charge against Wright was that he
embezzled $50, 900 from the Sav

For ten years Wright looted sys.

the insurgents. 1t was believed at

STEEL INDUSTRY BOOMING.
1t Is Estimated that Net Earrings of
Steel Corporations Will
Exceed $40, 900, 900.

In view of the heavy operations
during the past three months at the
United States Steel corporation
mills, it is expected that the net
earnings for the present quarter
will be between S3S, 900, 900 and
$42 900, 900. This will be sufficient
to wipe out the deficit reported
during the recent depression, and
leave approximately SO, 900, 900.
The higher prices for steel pro-
ducts allow a substantial margin of
profit on everything turned out.
The steel industry is now estab-
fishing new high records. John
Lambert of Chicago, president of
the American Steel & Wire COM
pany, says that the steel mills are
now running at pretty close to 100
per cent capacity. The mills are
buying all the iron billets and other
semi-fnished steel products pro-
duced and are absorbing all the
surplus stocks. The capacity of
raw steel and pig iron is not sufii-
cient to meet the requirements.
Scarcity of labor, plant exten-
sions of a rush character and still
higher prices are the features at
tracing the attention of iron and
steel manufacturers at present.
Railroad managements are said
to be thoroughly alarmed over the
extraordinary activity showing in
the steel trade, as they fear that
difficulty will be experienced in
obtaining the filling of orders for
rails. On that account they are
preparing to place contracts for
1916 delivery much earlier than
usual.
Commenting upon present oon-
ditions in the steel trade, a Pitts
burgh correspondent says;
Every available blast furnace
in the country is either in opera
tion or is being got in readiness.
Furnaces that were scheduled to be
scraped years ago are again in
blast. The Lackawanna Steel COM
pany has purchased the entire hot
metal output of one of the Susque-
hanna furnaces, removing over 40
600 tons from the market. Italian
buyers are active bidders for the
available supply Of Bessemer, pay
ing $40 a ton for all they can OBJ
tain. The United Steel com mpary
of Canton has purchased 1000
tons of basic iron at $3.50 for de
livery during November and De
cember. Buffalo furnaces have sold
10000 tons in addition to the pur-
chase by the Lackawanna company.
Basic, Foundry No. 2 and MALE
able are selling as high as SIS val
leys. Tremendous pressure is be
ing brought on furnace owners to

IRONWO0D /, HURLEY o.
lrOnwOOd Takes the Final League Game
of the Season from Hurley
at the Local Park.

Probably the largest crowd ever
gathered at the Hurley bali park
witnessed the contest last Sunday
between Ironwood and Hurley. 1t
IS e:tmated that there were several
hundred people in attendance. The
grand stand aud bleachers were
hlled to capacity and a line of
fans extended on both sides of the
diamond to the fence. The frigid
weather made it rather uncomfort-
able for the crowd and players, es-
pecially toward the latter part of
the contest, but the battle on the
diamond was a hard fought one
and everybody remained until the
last man was out.
Ironwood came and conquered.
And not only did they administer
defeat but Hurley was blanked.
The visitors made one lone tally in
the fifth frame and all that Hurley
got was string of goose eggs.
Ironwood's imported pitcher, Laf-
ferty by name, was too much for
the local boys and despite the fact
that some of the best stickers in
this neck of the woods were in the
Hurley lineup hits were few and
seldom, and to the inability of the
Hurley men to hit may be ascribed
the cause for defeat. Lafferty went
fine all through the contest, finish
ing up just as good as at the start,
and in the nine innings only three
hits were made by Hurley. Faul,
the first baseman for the home
team, got two of these and Brook
ms one.
Lefty" Sundell started on the
mound for Hurley and pitched un-
til the sixth inning, when he was
relieved by Carroll. Ironwood Sc
cured six bingles in all, five of
which were gathered off Sundell
during his occupancy of the box.
In the four innings that Carroll
worked Ironwood got one hit. Sun
worked out of pinches on two oc-
casions, being greatly assisted by
the perfect support. Both teams
gave the beavers excellent support
and as the error column shows two
bungles were chalked up against
Hurley and one against the visi-
tors.
Following is the tabulated score.

is the least that can be done. South
ern iron is held at $11.50 for de-
