Schwab's Big Surprise.
When it was announced the Bethle-
hem Steel had acquired control of
this plant, business and municipal
Baltimore invited Charles NJ. SchWab,
chairman of the board of directors Of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and
Eugene G. Grace, president of the
same concern, to a dinner last No
yember, at which these gentlemen
stated what would be done, as tersely
told above.
At this dinner Mr.. Schwab took
Baltimore and the country into his
confidence by telling them why the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation thought
the expenditure Of SO many millions
at SDarrows Point would be justified.
And here is, in part, what he said:
1--WE have undertaken this gigantic
program at O. time when the costs OF
making everything have gone beyond
all previous bounds. Many OF our
friends have urged us to 60 slow and
wait until the costs Of building plants
and increasing facilities are reduced.
But we believe that when facilities
are needed they ought to be provided
and that builders should not specu-
late on what they may be able to do
in the future. They should do it now.
Country Cannot Stand Still.
"Thfs country cannot stand still.
The United States produced only
], OO0. 900 tons. Of steel in 1880, while
this year 100000 tons will be pro-
duced. When the United States Steel
Corporation was formed 10 years ago
the annual steel production Of this
country was only 100000 tons and
many people believed that we were
then at the zenith Of the steel busi-
ness. My own belief is that we are
lust as far from the zenith today as
we were in 1901.
when this war is over there will
Of a necessity be a reduction in the
demand for ammunition steel and
there will be some recession in steel
prices generally. But the domestic
demand for steel rails. for buildings
and for numerous other purposes only
awaits a more normal condition of
trade to press forward for prompt
satisfaction.
Faith Tin America And Steel.
ct have great faith in the growth
of America and in the growth of the
steel business, which is the barometer
of American trade And / have even

W. T. Moody, homesteader of the
Upper Valley, after search lasting
eight years, has again found gold
mine on the east base of Mount Hood
near Badger Lake. The pioneer home
steader has declared to friends that
the find is a rich one and that an esti-
mated $500 can be taken out with but
little work. The announcement of the
refinding of the old mine, Lost Mine"
as it has become known, has created a
great excitement among the Upper
Valley families.

the Upper Valley district, despite the
fact that geologists say that gold will
not be found in paying quantities in the
district, spend the larger part of each
summer religiously engaged in pros
pecting.
