I. J. Mahoney Re- Enters Clothing
Business

Tim Mahoney, formerly associated
with Jim Huyck in the clothing bust
ness in this city conducting the Mems
Shop on East Central avenue, has pur-
chased an interest in one of the lead
ing clothing stores of Rochester Mimi.
The Independent received clipping
from the Rochester Post and Record
in which mention is made of Tim in
the following gratifying terms:
"T. J. Mahoney is the third men,
Der Of the new company. He is new
to the business here but not new to
the people of Olmsted county. He
was born and reared south Of Roches
ter on a farm. He subsequently left
here and for sixteen years has been
in the clothing business. For long
time he had store in Minot, N. D..
Desiring to return to the home coun-
ty, he disposed Of his interests at
Minot and secured the opportunity to
become partner in the local enter
prise.
"He has a pleasing personality, is
first class man in his business, and
will he warmly welcomed to the COM
mercial life of the community"
E. r. Walker to Locate in Minnesota
E. r. Walker, who disposed Of his
farm southwest of Sawyer, will hold
a sale March 8, notice Of which will
appear in the Independent next week.
Mr.. Walker visited Wadena, Aitken
and Carlton counties in Minnesota IN
January, but did not buy land as
there was so much snow he could not
see the soil properly. He will 90 back
later and will probably locate in that
section. Land can be bought in Min
nesota for $50 to $3.50 an acre. Mr..
Walker has lived in North Dakota for
nearly twenty years and likes the
state and the people. He fully be-
lieves that North Dakota will make
record equal to that of Minnesota in
the not far distant future, when every
farmer practices diversifcation. Mr..
Walker says that he knew better than
to try straight grain farming, but
somehow or other he just slipped into
the habit along with many other
North Dakota farmers and it did not
pay him. The Walker family have
host of friends who regret to see them
leave.

today, that no anti-Japanese legisla-

quiries. 1t follows:
"The movement in California to re-
cast the state laws affecting alien
land tenure has been receiving, since
its inception, the close and interested
attention of the department Of state.
The relations Of certain treaty pro-
visions to the proposed measure are
being discussed clearly and ably In
California and will doubtless prove
an element in the states decision as
to tho adoption, or rejection OF the
proposed measure. In the meantime
the department has had numerous
discussions Of the most friendly and
candid nature with the ambassador
of Japan, and 1t is believed he thor
oughly realizes, as we have sought to
make clear, that no outcome of the
California movement will be accept
able 20 the country at large that does
not accord with existing and applic-
able provisions Of law and, what is
equally important. with the national
instinct OF Justice
The statement was the frst is-
sued on the California land question,
which long has been a matter OF con-
yersat1on between the department
and the Japanese ambassador to }
Washington.
The fact that 1t was issued on the
eve Of the election in California at
which the proposed new state law is
to be voted upon was declared by
state department officials to have no
political significance.

reduced the scale OF operations or
have closed down during the month.
"Cotton mills continued to operate
on part time schedules due to lack of
orders, and while there are not many
complete shutdowns. the percentage
Of operating capacity in the industry
is low.
The Boston district reports that
Lowell cotton mills are operating at
about 60 per cent Of capacity. Some
mills in the district are said to be
manufacturing for stock In the
absence of orders.
THE Philadelphia district reports
that weolen yarn spinners are re-
ceiving practically no orders, altho
September and October are usually
the busiest months.
mills in the district are VarlOusly
reported to be operating at from 10
per cent to 80 per cent Of capacity,
those more fully employed running
on back orders. One factory, working
at 80 per cent of it's capacity, stated
that from 80 to 40 per cent Of the
work was being done for. stock.
mills engaged in the manufacture
of underwear in the Philadelphia dis
.trict are also either shut down or
running at small fraction Of ca
pacity. The uncertainty in regard to
yarn prices as we'll as lack of orders,
helps to explain the existing situa-
ton.
"In hosiery plants the closing Of
plants is general. Instability in yarn
prices has made for frequent changes
in prices quoted by manufacturers,
with a resultant hesitancy on the
part Of jobbers and retailers to place
orders.
l"Garpet and rug mills in the Phila-
delphia district are receiving prac-
tically no orders. according to reports
altho some Of them are manufactur-
ing for stock"
The report states that statistics
relative to net sales for several i'm
portant wholesale lines, including
dry goods and boots and shoes reveal
the lack OF demand which has been
responsible for the inactivity In
manufacturing.
The retail trade situation shows a
moderate increase of net sales over
the same period last year, but it does
not show the usual fall activity.
