NORTHWEST LIVESTOCK ASSN.
Whole Inland Empire Is Urged to Take
Part in Enterprise.

A strong effort is being made by all
those interested in the livestock indus
try of the northwest to secure the sup
port of the whole Inland Empire for
the annual exhibition of the North
west Livestock Association at Lewis
ton this fall. Plans are underway for
joint meetings between the officials
of the organization, leading stockmen,
business men and bankers of Lewiston
and men representing similar lines In
every town from Colfax, Wash, to
Grangeville, Ida. The situation is we'll
outlined in the following statement Of
d. s. Wallace. leading business man,
farmer and stockraiser of the Lewis
ton country.
Bankers and merchants are especi-
ally interested in promoting the live
stock industry because stock can be
converted into cash any day. Enough
livestock on the farm to consume the
waste means added wealth. Diversi-
fled farming means growing feed for
livestock, employing farm labor 1865
days each year. Under our summer
fallow plan of farming at least one
third of the farm labor is not utilized,
also at least one-third of the farm in
vestment lies idle. You can see why
you are interested in the Northwest
Livestock Association. In my opinion
few businesses are more hazardous
than straight grain growing. Livestock
means better homes, more interest on
farm investment, at least one-third
more farm labor employed, better liv-
ing conditions on the farms, better
schools, more capital profitably en-
ployed. In turn more town and city
people are employed to serve the peo-
Pile on the farms. Instead of deterior-
atng the land becomes more produc-
tive; waste land becomes an asset in
stead of liability"

Copper Production in United States
Stimulated by the enormous demand
resulting from the war, copper pro-
duction in the United States reached
and passed the two billion pound mark
for the first time in the history of the
industry last year.
In a statement issued Monday the
United States geological survey placed
the total production of copper from all
sources at 2,026,0 100000 pounds. Smell
ter production of primary copper was
88,000,000 pounds record quantity
That was 23S,000,OO0 pounds more than
produced in 1914, or an increase of 81
per cent. The total value of the 1915
smtler output of primary copper, at
an average price of IT'S cents pound
was $2429OO,00O, increase of 800,
100000 over 1914.
Production of primary and secondary
copper by regular refining plants
amounted to 1,693,779,13 pounds, in
Guiding 46,498,925 pounds of foreign
origin and 59,574,690 pounds from the
secondary material treated. Plants
treating secondary and material exclu
sively produced 332,7OO,O0O pounds in
addition.
Stocks Show Decrease
Stocks of refined copper at the be
ginning of 1915 amounted to 173, 610,501
pounds and at the close of the year
82,429,666 pounds, decrease during
the year of 91,210,835 pounds. In ad
dition to these stocks at the close OF
1915 there were at shelters, in transit
and at refineries 274,O00.000 pounds
Consumption of copper in the United
States was the greatest ever recorded
in any year.. Refined new copper
showed an apparent consumption OF
about 1 ,043, 100000 pounds, an increase
423,000,000 pounds over the 1914 con
sumption. Adding the 392,274,O O0
pounds of secondary copper and copper
in alloys produced during the year
brings up the total of new and old cop
per available for domestic consump.
ton to about 1,435 100000 pounds, the
exports of refined copper during the
year having been 681, 953,301 pounds.

While Some Are Never Paid, Others

Omaha, Neb.-Eber Smith, travelling
salesman Of this city, has received no
LITIGATION from San Bernardino, Cal,
that he was named sole heir to the es-
tate of Thomas Simpson, California
rancher, who died short time ago.
The estate is valued at 100000. Two
years ago, it is said, Smith saved the
life of Simpson when forest fire was
sweeping upon his California ranch
house, where he lay, alone, suffering
from broken leg. Smith was the only
man among the fire fighters who had
the nerve to attempt the rescue. He
wrapped sacks about his face and went
through the flames and carried the
rancher to safety. Smith did not see
Simpson again, but the rancher re-
membered him and for saving his life
willed him all his property.
