Market Was Active
And Prices Higher

New York, Sept. 3.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
Resuming business after the double

quite active relatively, and there was
a substantial expansion in prices, par.
tieularly among the industrial and
railroad shares.
United States Steel virtually recov-
cred the Az percent dividend which
came off the price last Friday, adj
vancing through lis. The equipment
shares we're strong and American Hide
and Leather, common and preferred,
were up to two and four points, re-
spectively in anticipation of changes
at tomorrow 5 stockholders meeting.
Union Pacific common, selling ex-
dividend; Southern Railway, Missouri
Pacific, Great Northern, Erie and Can
adam Pacific, were the outstanding
features of strength in the railroad
list. Bonds were but moderately ac-
tive and firm. Foreign government
issues and the French cities made sub
stantial gains.

Must Stand Trial For
Stealing Own Child Law
And Right Clash

After a hearing lasting all morning,
Governor Withycombe today granted
the ~extradition of Michael Bakanoff,
a Russian who is charged with steal
ing his three-year old child from the
custody of Miss Ruth G. Campbell of
San Mateo county, Cal, and he will
be returned to that state.
Bakanoff's case has attracted con-
siderable attention because the mother
of the child left him when she ae-
cidently found her first husband in
San Francisco after she thought he
had been executed. Her husband was
a Russian soldier who was captured.
She received word that he had been
executed.
Through an uncle she engaged in cor
respondence with Bakanoff, who was
in San Francisco, and she left Russia
to come to this country to marry Bak-
anoff, The next year a child was
born.
Her first husband escaped and came
to this country, where he enlisted in
the United States army and was sta
toned at the Preside in San Fran
cisco. There he ran across his wife
on the street. She returned to him and
the trouble between her and Bakanoff
over the child followed.
But before she found her first hus-
band, Palmer Fales, attorney for Bak-
anoff, brought out that she had left
him and the child three different
times for other men. Bakanoff took
care Of the child and each time found
the mother and persuaded her to re-
turn. When she left Bakanoff for her
first husband, Bakanoff filed suit for
divorce and possession of the child,
She filed a cross complaint and also
asked for the child, and through ha-
beous corpus proceedings the child was
taken from Bakanoff and ordered by
the court to be placed in the custody
of Miss Campbell until the habeous
corpus and divorce proceedings were
settled.
Bakanoff went two or three times ia
see the child and could not find him
Then he stole the child and came to
Oregon, where he has been employed
as an expert mechanic with the North
west Steel Company, He is considered
such a valuable man by the company
that it employed its attorneys to OBJ
tain bail for him and fight the ex.
tradition.
After hearing the case the governor
said his sympathies were entirely will
Bakanoff and he would not grant thu
~extradition were it not for the fact
that Bakanoff had defied the order o
the court. He said the courts SHOULD
be upheld, and for that reason he
would honor the requsition.

Lumber Trade Activity

Alexandria, La.

Dimension in both Nos. 1 and is also moving in large volume and prices show a very good increase weekly Railroads are still offering large schedules calling for heavy tim hers both in rough heart and No. 1 square edge and sound. and also for great quantities of one-inch stock and car material, at very attractive prices. Decking is in very good demand, prices showing a very marked and constant increase.
 Labor conditions are showing but little change, and few of the mills that heretofore have been able to operate are now shut down on ac- count of not being able to secure the required amount of labor. Mills in the Alexandria district have had a great deal of trouble during the last sew eral weeks on account of the extreme ly cold weather. Last Friday and Sat urday were the coldest days expo

 MT. Hoge: As information I quote below message dated Washington, D. C.. January IS, from MT. w. G. Mc- Adoo director general of railroads
 Tn view of the order of the fuel administrator for a five-day cessa- ticn of industrial activity in. this ter ritory for the purpose of accumulat- ing and distributing an ample fuel supply I urge and direct that every possible effort be made by the rail- roads to move coal and to cooperate to the limit with the fuel admins tration for the accomplishment of the desired end. I hope that the officers and employees of the railroads will dc their part so effectively that there may be no further occasion for inter- ruption of the industrial and normal activities of the nation"
 To which I have made the follow ing reply today:

THIS IS THE DAY
 OF BIG SUMS SPENT
 IN NEW INDUSTRY
Recent Contracts Awarded in This Section Show Magnitude of Oper- ations Under Way
Last weefss Industrial Index says:

Last weekSs Industrial Index says: Comparison is the basis largely of the estimate and measure of most conditions. This applies, for instance, to the volume of construction work and to industrial development as well as to other things. It has not been many months since the announcement of the awarding of a contract involving the expenditure of a half-rntllion dollars attracted the opti- mistic attention of those who are inter- ested particularly in such things And
 1t was naturally and properly so. But
 now-well, 6 million-dollar contract
 does not attract as much attention as 1t
 did and as it should. The measure of comparison Is used. There have been so many announcements of contracts for $1,- coo, GOO and many of them for more that
 we have become somewhat accustomed to them.
 The awarding of contract for the establishment near Florence. Ala, of a
 hydroelectric plant to cost $13,5O0,0o0 does
 not stir us so much. And the fact that
 this s13,5oo0O0 development is to supply
 electricity for a $30000,000 plant now be-
 ing established does not seem such a
 great thing as it would have appeared
 few months ago. But of course. 1t Is
 a great thing, and means much not only
 for the section in which the plants will
 be located but for the entire southeast as well.
 Contracts for the building of ships to cost an aggregate of s20.00o.0Oo have been, or will be, awarded at Jacksonville. and contractor who will install machinery in ships now being constructed at South
 Atlantic ports will make his headquar-
 ters in Jacksonville. bringing with him l5OO skilled mechanics. This contract IS for $2, ,0o0. 000 These items are apart en- tirely from the large sums expended in the establishment of an army camp near Jacksonville.
 A few days ago contract for addi- tional construction work at Camp Cor don, near Atlanta, was awarded. the amount immediately involved being
 about $750,000, and twice that sum will be expended ultimately.
 A contract has been awarded for the construction of the army camp near Au-
 gusta of additional buildings to cost a total of s400.000.
 ! Many other contracts of importance have heen awarded recently in the south east, and each of them helps to swell the construction activity and increase the prosperity in this section
