AUTHORITIES TELL WHY BUILDING
 IS SLACK

What is hoidina back building and construction work?
 More than five hundred opinions on this question have been received In the last two weeks by the Infor- nation and Education Service of the U. S. Department of Labor. Many building authorities blame Congress, others charge the financial interests of tho country with responsibility. In the centra! west, freight rates are said to be exertins an injurious in fiuenee. In the main. high costs of materials are held to be the chief obstacIe.
 Don't expect private capital to build merely for the sake of furnish Ing jobs for workmen," writes we'll known architect from Buffalo. "rhat Is the obligation Of the government, be it local, state or national. Let public works be started at once for the benefit of the public. The cost will be high and the public will have 10 pay the price, but the public will reap the benefit In the reduction Of unemployment, the absorption of the nroduets of many industries and the use of many works of which there is treat need"

The banking institutions and mortgage companies are making only small loans around here and, even where there Is ample security, will not con slider investing a-iarse amount of money in one place."
 Labor conditions and demands are held to be unfavorabie to immediate building operations by many of the authorities writing to the information and education service Lack of cooper stiorI on the part Of financial interests seems to be the outstanding obstacle ., many states,

AVALANCHE KILLS
 DISCHARGED SOLDIER


 fifty feet beneath slide of snow on the trail between Portage and Mile e3 on the government railroad Is tho body of Ralph X. Puiver, 2s years old. an honorably discharged soldier who lost his life while on his way to Anchorage to take position in the stores department Of the Alaskan En- aineering Commission. The body can not be recovered until warm weather in the spring or early summer re. moves the snow now on top of It. The young man leaves widow in Anchorage.
 Mir. PuIver. resigned form the stores department of the commission last year to enter the army. immediately after hls enlistment he was detailed to Fort Liscum at Valdez for train ing. Subsequently, he was assigned to the United Staes Guards On duty in Alaska. After several months la this branch of the service and follow Ing great deal of correspondence, he obteained an order transferring him to Clamp Lewis, Washington, where he was to report to military contingent for overseas service. At the time of the issuance of thls order, early In November, he was corporal in the detachment Of United statss Guards stationed at Anchorage He left for Camp Lewis at once, but had gone only as far as Seward, where he was waiting for a steamship for &c., attle, when the armistlee was signed and he was directed by telegraph to return to Anchorage barracks.
 With the war at an end, Mir. Puiv- CT was anxious to be discharged from the army. He arranged with the Alaskan Engineering Commission to resume his position with it and then was granted leave by his command ing officer at Anchorage to go to Fort Liscum to obtain from the eon1man- dant there honorable disn1issal from the servics.
 The young man, after having ac. 1 compIished his mission at Fort Lis cum, was SC eager tc return to An chorase that he did not wait at Val dez for the tardy arrival of an ocean steamship bound for Seward. He and companion, Joseph Robbins. took passage in a gasoline launch to Por- tase Bay. From there they started over the trail for Mile es on the raII. road, planning ~to follow the rail route from Mile 63 to Anchorage. They had travelled but four miles on the trail from Portage Bay. when an avalanche of snow down hillside caught and entonbed mr. Pulvsr. His companion, who escaped the slide made futile effort to recover the buried man and then hastily return. ed to Portage Bay, and from there few days later in lunch to Valdez.
 4 squad of soldiers. with Mir. Rob bins as guide. went from Fort Lis cum to the scene Of the slide. They soon realized, that any effort to find the body would be useless. it might have been carried fifty Or live hund- red feet from the place where Mir. Pulver was last seen alive and the snow was packed so tight that 1t was almost as solid as ice.

the hour Of his greatest triumph.
For say what you will America
stands better before the world today
than ever in all her history.
America had a reputation to main
tain when we entered the world war
We had set the pace for the world
in many ways. Particularly we had
laid up a store of wealth that won US
worldwide dislike.
Generally speaking we were re-
garded as nation Of money chasers.
A nation of people who would suffer
any insult rather than fight.
Germany was more impressed with
that idea, possibly, than any Of the
other world powers.
And tried to make the most Of it.
You all know what happened.
The world now admits that Uncle

without his help they would have been
defeated.
Every one of the early demands.
due to the world war emergency,
America met promptly and generous
ly.
Everything that was asked by our
allies was granted fully and freely.
Every sacrifice necessary was made
gladly and without hesitation.
Whether it was a call for personal
service or financial sacrifice that de-
mand never went unhecded.
And the result was that once Amer
ica's hosts had followed Americas
dollars to the fighting front the finish
came like lightning out of clear sky.
We have that reputation still to
maintain.
We must keep our toes to the line
Of duty until the finish.
We must lend to uncle Sam just so
long as he needs themoney.
We must prepare for the Victory

TEXAS WHEAT CROP
THE BEST IN HISTORY

AMARILLO, Texas. - Bumper
wheat crops, which are assured in
this district, are causing an unique
situation as regards crop values and
the present price of land. In many
instances the crop will yield as much
as twice the value of the land. One
farmer near here recently purchased
12O acres all of which was planted in
wheat, and his yield, as now estimated
will more than double the price paid
for the farm and improvements. Some
farmers are assured of SO bushels to
the acre, almost an unheard of yield
in this district.
Although for time it was thought
that a shortage Of labor in harvest
ing the crop would entail great losses,
this question seems to have been
solved. The United States employ
ment office here has secured the nee
essary number of men from the east
to handle the situation, it is said, and
with conditions remaining normal the
full yield will be saved. The crop in
the 32 counties comprising the Pan
handle of Texas, is valued at between
fifty and sixty millions.
