TRADE BALANCE
BREAKS RECORD
EXPORTS FOR FISCAL YEAR
WE'LL OVER BILLION Doll
LAR MARK

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July L.
An official announcement was made
last night hat with the closing of
the fiscal year, it was certain the
billion dollar mark, as a trade bal
ance, the greatest in American his
tory, had been passed. The depart
ment of commerce experts point out
that this trade balance is not ow-
ing to orders for munitions of war.
In fact manufacturers generally
of other than foOdstuffs have been
less than in a similar period be-
fore the wal.
1t was announced that the figures
for the II months ending in May,
show a balance OF more than $685.
0O0, 900. Thirteen ports, which or
dinarily handle 80 per cent of the
country's foreign trade, show that
the June export balance was approx
imately $50, 100000. and it is now
known that the excess of exports
over imports to this date exceeded
81, 900, 900, surprising by nearly
$500, 0OO, 900, the highest core
heretofore.

MAY PLACE CITY IN

SANTA MONICA, 1T is CLAIMED,
HAS NO CONSTITUTED
OFFICIALS

LOS ANGELES, July 1. = The SUI
perior court has ordered Mayor Dud-
ley, the city council and other Off
GERS of Santa Monica to appear in
court today to show cause why a re-
ceiver should not be appointed for
that city.
A. w. MCPHERSON, the plaintiff, al
legged that the adoption of a commits
sion government has left the city
without governing officials for six
months, although the legislature APP
proved the charter amendments in
January. 1t is alleged that the Off
Gals are serving illegally since the
legislatures act Immediately abolish
ed their offices and no provision was
made for filling the positions of three
city commissioners before the cleo
ton next December.

MINING review
CONTINUED from page one,

CONTINUED IRON page oneI
Atlanta Mines company shipments to
the smelters during June totaled $50
tons. according to General Manager
A. /. Darcy. No changes in mine
conditions have occurred of late.
North drift 1914 on the 1520-foot
intermediate level is still being adj
vanced into the leased southern half
of the Grizzly Bear claim of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany on five feet of shipping ore.
South drift 1913 on the 1660-foot
~interediate level is exposing a full
face of like ore.
Merger Mines
Exploratory work continues in the
st. Ives claim of the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company along and above
the latite-shale contact by way of
an SS-foot vertical raise from the
crosscut extended from the 1265-foot
level of the Grizzly Bear mine of the
Goldfield Consolidated.
Great Bend
The main vertical shaft on the
property of the Goldfeld Great Bend,
through which future operations will
be p%rosecutd, has been unwatered
and repaired to a depth of 365 feet.
Only 35 feet remain to be cleaned
put before it will bqe possible to re-
sumo lateral operations. This should
be accomplished within the next week
or ten days.
Florence
Although developments have been
normal in character, the Florence
made a good showing in June. Gen
eral Superintendent Harry B. Clapp
states that shipments amounted to
IS carloads or approximately $50
tons of ore, which ranged in value
from SIS to $22 per ton. This was
largely extracted from the stope
above the 25O-foot level north of
the shaft on what is known as the
new" vein. A new stope has been
started IN the same vein above the
same level. Exploration of the same
vein continues on the 350-foot level.
Other Properties
Routine developments have held
sway of late at the Orc, Yellow Tig-
err, Silver Pick Consolidated, Black
Butte and Simmerone.

FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARDS DECISION
NEW RULING IN REGARD TO
PURCHASE OF TWO PER
CENT BONDS

WASHINGTON, d. c., July l.
The federal reserve board has de.
cided that reserve banks which
bought government two per cent
bonds previous to December 81,
1915. may not count them as part
of the $4,000, 900 worth which the
act provides they may be requested
to purchase each year.
About $3.50, 900, 600 worth OF two
per cent bonds are held by national
banks against circulating notes, and
the bank law provides for their re-
tirement at the rate of $25,0OO,OO
a year. The purpose of the decis-
ion is to have the banks begin the
purchase of bonds next year.

ter, which has, however many advan- tages. Such associations encourage habits Of saving, afford training in business methods and may establish a collective fund for common agricul- tural purposes as well as providing loans to their members on more reas- onable terms than they could obtain individually. The fundamental prin- ciple of their management is that no loan must be granted unless the com- mittee ill charge believes that the member and the association will both be benefited. The funds for the loans may be secured through payments on shares, through deposits, and by bor- rowing from outside sources. Associ- atlons doing business of this sort, however, are subject to statutory reg ulations and it is, of course, import ant that these regulations be under stood and observed by the manage ment.
 A cooperative credit associat ton must not be considered as in any way a substitute for other banking insti- tutions, but rather as an ally of them. The deposits in such associations are frequently in such small amounts that it is unlikely that they would be plac- ed in 8 regular bank. On the other hand the total of these small sums is frequently considerable and such part of it as is not loaned to members of the association is usually placed on deposit in the local banks. In addi- tion to the service which the associa- ton can render to it's individual mem- bers both by aiding them to obtain proper loans and by discouraging them from making unwise ones, the association can also be of service to the community in number of ways, among which collective purchasing is perhaps the most prominent.

Friendly Fish,

A curious instance of tho familiarity of fishes with human beings has been observed in Portland. Ore, at the Uni. ted States barge office. The official boat is kept at the end of the wharf Some time ago one of the boatmen began to notice fish about eight inches long, and resembling a carp that seemed to wish to scrape acquain' lance. The fish would come up to thu sop of the water whenever the man a1r peared, and did not seem to be at all afraid. After time all the men got to know the fish,; and began to take friends to zee him. At first he might not be in sight, but he would very soon appear and frisk around near the surface. Once or twice te has come 50 close as to rub his nose against the boatman's hand, and the Eeu arG waiting further developments.
