Jay Galligan, Caldwell Miller, Bases
Figures ON Last Years Yield and
Increase in Acreage

The wheat crop of the Boise valley
this year is estimated at approximate
ly 100000 bushels. The basis OF this
calculation takes into consideration
that the crop of Canyon county last
year amounted to 100000 buhels, that
of the Meridian country to 100000
bushels and that the crop of the Boise
country, including Blacks creek, Dry
creek and other sections tributary to
Boise, reached 100000 bushels, which
is held to be a conservative estimate.
The estimate acreage of this year is
one-third greater than that of last year
in the opinion of Jay Galligan of this
city, manager of the Caldwell FIGURING
mills.
The storage capacity of the mills OF
which Mr.. Galligan is the manager is
approximately Sos, 900 bushels, the dis
tribution of this total storage being as
follows: Caldwell, $4,000 bushels
Parma, 100000 bushels; Nampa, $4,000

As to the Victory Loan, the expert
ences of the past week have confirmed
the conviction that little or no dis
turbance, either to the speculative
markets or to the domain of general
business, is to be expected from the
campaign itself or its aftermath. Ev-
cry district throughout the country
having received in advance its allot-
ments to the loan, many of them in a
businesslike manner apportioned their
allotments through the banks or other
agencies and announced their subscrip-
tons completed on the morning of
April II. For them there will be no
campaign, no disturbance to the even
tenor of business. In New York,
some of the prominent banking insti-
tutions for their Gown account and the
account of their depositors" filed APP
plications for the total of their allot-
ments on Monday morning. The larg-
est of these was that of the Irving
National Bank, in the amount of
$40,000,000. 'ss
AS the success of the Victory Loan
campaign will be measured in terms
Of distribution rather than in the pill
ing up Of an enormous over-subscrip-
ton, it is obvious that the various
committees should emphasize the i'm
portance of the $50 and 500 subscrip-
t ions. Secretary Glass has sought to
stabilize the market for the outstand-
ing issues in two ways, in the Victory
Loan Act itself which provided for adj
ditional tax exemptions on the inter
est on $4,000 of any 4 or ~ per
cent bonds, so that with certain COM
binations a maximum amount of $780,
600 of Liberty Loan bonds may be
held, the interest on which may be ex-
empt; and secondly, in the attractive
terms named on the Victory Loan.
The first aim was to stimulate de-
mand for outstanding Liberty bonds
on the part of heavy taxpayers. while
the second plan indirectly aims at the
same purpose by limiting the amount
of the Victory Loan to $4,000, 900, 900,
naming an attractive interest rate on
notes free only of the normal tax to
encourage wide distribution to per-

turn of the railroads to their original
companies is closely associated with
that of an increase in rates. This NAV
not be the most agreeable contempla-
ton for shippers and users of the rail-
roads generally; but it is obvious that
rates must be increased whenever and
wherever necessary to provide for fix
ed charges and for reasonable ex-
penses and dividends. 1t is general
confidence in the certainty of such an
adjustment, when the proper time
comes, that stabilizes the market
prices of many of the railroad shares.
1t is to be hoped that the month to
month financing of the railroads will
not continue much longer, even
though an extra session of congress
will provide the only remedy to re-
lieve the situation.

RED GROSS NOTES i'm RUSSELL GULCH|

1t will be satisfaction to the many
loyal workers of our Chapter to know
that again we have not failed in our
share of the work of our great organiza-
tion.
Our quota of Refugee Garments has
been, completed and shipped to Division
warehouse in time. The executive Off
GERS wish to express their appreciation
of the generous response and the ex-
cellent quality of work done by our
members in this emergency call.
The quota comprised 445 garments in
all. A few of these were shipped early
in January but the remainder filled two
large regulation Red Cross packing box
es-the kind that go overseas. In addi-
tion to the Refugee Garments. there
were sweaters, ~2I pairs of socks and
20 comfort kits. and a donation from
the Russell Gulch Auxiliary of two chill
dren's petticoats and one baby quilt.
We have had no further ailotments
from Division headquarters for the
present there will be no new work. But
we must be prepared to be called upon
at any time to resume our efforts.
The five comfortables which We're
made in the Chapter workroom have all
been sold. The three convalescent robes
have been sent to the recuperation hos
pital at Aurora for the use of our SOL
diers. The beautiful table scarf which
was donated by Miss Flora Peck has
also been sold. We still have for sale
one crotcheted yoke, also a donation.
All Junior memberships will expire in
February. 1t is, earnestly desired they
all be renewed. We realize there can
be little or no work done this year be-
cause of time lost in school work but
it is important that the organization
be kept up.

MINING WAITING READJUsTMENT

Gold production in the United States
in 1918 fell to S,313,0O0 fine ounces,
worth s6S, ,49S. 900, the lowest in twenty
years.
Silver production dropped to 67,S79,-
900 fine ounces, worth s67 1875. 900, at the
standard government price of 81 an
. ounce.
This is the smallest record since 1913,
according to government reports.
California led as a gold producing
state. the estimate showing SS2.3S9
ounces, valued at s17,2O7, 900.
Colorado ranked second with 621. 791
ounces, valued at s12,S5S, 900.
Montana, with 15.341.oOO ounces, was
the principal silver producing statA.
while Utah gave 1s.4Se,o 900 ounces. Idaho
1o,1Ss,O00 and Nevada 1O.115,0OO.
The nation has not met the problem
of declining production of the precious
Z metals.
Total copper production fell off in
1918. Was far under normal. The low
price prevailing for copper and lead.
coupled with high cost of production,
has necessitated a great curtailment of
production since signing OF the armis-
tice and pending return of somewhat
normal conditions.
