Wood Scarce This
Winter, According
to Present Outlook

Have you tonight about your win
ter wood supply!
Indications point to small re-
serve of both blocks and slabs In
klamath Falls when winter starts
four months from now,
Last year when money was easily
obtainable local wood dealers piled
up a wood surplus In the summer. o.
Peyton. one of the dealers, states he
had 1000 cords OF blocks on hands
last winter. but this winter expects
to have not more than $50 cords,
There's a cash demand for wood
In California now" he said. 1--WE can
dispose OF all we have and collect
Immediately, The dealer cannot at
ford to borrow the money. II he
could get It, to create a wood re-
serve here. Two 'or three thousand
dollars can be quickly tied up In a
wood pile and It remains there all
summer"
Three cars of blocks from local
box factories is said to be the av-
erage daily shipment from here to
California. and II looks like good
advice to the householder to suggest

supply while the getting is good y

Swift & Co. Earnings
Show Sharp Decrease

Net profits, after taxes, Of Swift &
Co. for the year ended October 81
were $5,170,382, equivalent to 1914
a share earned on the $150,0O0OOO
capital stock, against $13,870,181, or
1924 share, on the same basis in the
preceding year, according to state
ment issued to stockholders yester-
day.
Regarding the company's situation,
Louis F. Swift, president, said to stock
holders:
During the year we added to our
surplus S5,17O,38245 and paid divi-
dends Of 8 per cent amounting to Sl2,-
100000.
"a little more than half our divi-
dends, therefore, has been paid out Of
surplus earnings of previous years.
Our sales during the last wear were
over S1,100,000 200. This represents q
reduction from the previous year but
this was to be expected, because OF the
fall in values and the smaller volume
of livestock produced. 1t has also been
the tendency in other lines of busi-
ness. Our profit amounted to less than
half cent on each dollar of sales,
indicating that this profit had prac-
tically no effect on prices
81 am glad to inform you that our
inventories are down to marketable
basis, and l believe that our future
will be prosperous and satisfactory to
our shareholder

1t WAS pointed out, that the pressure
upon the corporation from special in

utilize uasi-governmental credit for
purposes of their own, would be heavy.
Proposals embodied in set of reso-

behalf Of the executive committee urg
ing restrictions upon immigration met
with opposition and were put over for
consideration at a special meeting two
weeks hence. At the same meeting
report prepared by the special commit
tee on industrial problems and rela-
tions will be offered for debate. The
report OF the committee on foreign
commerce and revenue laws, urging a
return to normal financing of foreign
trade, was adopted by unanimous
vote. The committee, among other
things, called attention to the tact
