STATISTICIAN SEES BUSINESS
RECOVERY SOON IN NORTHWEST

Roger w. BabsOn, recognized as the
most expert business and financial
statistician of the country, is making
some observations and statements re-
garding the financial and business
conditions of the country at large and
can see and points out wherein the
improvement is to come.
Business and financial depression,
he states, follow regular paths just as
do storm conditions, and their record
can be charted just the same as storm
maps and can be predicted and fore
told and in his opinion the time is to
come when business maps can and
will be issued that will enable people
to know when and where the indus
trial centers of the northwest, that
was the first section of the country
to feel the adverse business condi-
tions, and according to the law of
action and reaction will be the first
to clear up. The agricultural west
will follow suit and participate, in
due time, and inturn with the activity
now apparent in the northwest Bust

drinkers who are anything like per-
sistent in their efforts to kill them
selves by drinking the supposed and
sc-called whiskies and other liquors,
are just as certain of death as though
ii were tuberculosis.
Analytical chemists in the employ
of the government have been making
tests of the various brands now being
sold all over the country; they find
that in nearly every case it is green
whiskey," full of fusil oil, or gin inn
properly compounded, or old stock
tampered with and adulterated to in
crease the quantity.
One of the most dangerous condi-
tions found is the placing of ether and
other harmful drugs and narcotics in
the liquor in order to give the desired
effect, with the result that the unfor-
tunate drinker is not only quickly
intoxicated, but is frequently driven
off of his mental balance and becomes
a menace to himself and to the COM
munity, but particularly so to those
most intimately associated with him.
A great deal of the suicide, crime
and insanity the past year is credited
to the highly drugged whiskey that
is sold in this country masquerading
under the tables of we'll known brands.
The United States is being flooded
with liquors OF this kind that are sold
at high price and so dangerous has
become the menace that the federal
government has undertaken a public
ity campaign, not in the interest OF
prohibition, but in order to save men
from themselves, telling them of the
danger that turks in bottles of i'm
ported goods that are made under con-
ditions which make the liquors high
poison content and dangerous to an
extreme.

that fair weather is on the way
Referring to the far west" Babson
says, the outlook is complicated by a
peculiar circumstance. The mountain
states and the northwest generally
have suffered, but in broad way CAL
ifornia has escaped Business on the
coast held up when it was distinctly
dull elsewhere. Business on the coast
may remain stationary when there is
a real activity elsewhere.
Sales during the past few months
the country over show general right
ing of conditions; for the months of
September and October sales totaled
within 20 per cent of the same period
last year. November shows a five per
cent Improvement over that. An 80
per cent increase for December is
forecast. AS a whole, the year 1922
will compare well with 1921 with the
difference that in 1921 there was a
downward tendency that will not be
noticed in the new year. In total vol
ume of sales the two years will be
about on a par. The late fall of 1922
will complete the gradual rise in the
barometer of business, which will
mean sounder industrial conditions for
the year.

LET TAXES GO DELINQUENT
Northern Pacific Railway Co. Fails To
Pay First Half Of 1921 Taxes.

County Treasurer E. Des Voignes
and his deputy, Mrs Anna Callahan,
are working early and late to check up
on tax payments for 1921, last Satur-
day having been the last day for the
payment of the first half of the 1921
taxes without penalty.
Mr.. Des Voignes states that the col
lections made this year will average up
well with those made at this time last
year although not so many taxpayers
paid the full years taxes this year as
last.
The Northern Pacific Railway Co
let its first half taxes go delinquent, al
though in many counties of Northern
Idaho the company has paid the 1921
taxes in full. The. total amount of
taxes paid in this county by the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. is over
$4,000. In previous years the COM
pany has paid taxes on some of its
lands under protest and last year il
started suit in the federal court, claim
ing the valuations of its holdings in
Boundary county were too high and
asking for refund of taxes paid in
previous years. Last year the county
had several sections of Northern Pa
cific land cruised in order to deter
mine whether or not the contentious
CT the railway company were well
based. The cruising was done under
the direction of E. Des voignes who
has had many years of experience in
this work in Northern Idaho.
County Assessor w. G. Reid states
that Boundary county is one of the few
counties in Idaho to show an increase
OF auto license money in 1921 over
1920. In 1920 the total receipts from
the sale of auto licenses in Boundary
county were $1,000 and in 1921 the
total receipts amounted to S6,35421

DANGER FOUND IN DUST BY
 U. 5. PROBE
Dusts of Various Types Are Intensely Harmful and Occasion Many Big Ex- plosions.
Dy HARRY WARD

(By International News SerNicc1
 Washington, Oct. 20-lnyestiga-
 tions being conducted by the Feder-
 al Bureau of Mines have emphasized
 the fact that dusts of various types
 are intensely harmful, oc2asioning
 in some industries terrible explo-
 sions that produce great loss of
 life and property. lD other trades,
 they are responsible for highly
 increased death rate from lung dis eases.
 The fact that coal dust has tre- lscoffed at by the veteran miner, is now demonstrated frequently by the bureau in it's own coal mine at EX- pertinent, Pa. near Pittsburgh. Pull verized coal blown into the furnace through compressed air lines, is au ideal fuel in certain industries, but Ithc bureau points out that clouds Iof dust released from such pipes are as dangerous as body of uncon- filmed natural gas when liberated in close proximity to open flames or lred-hot metal.
 Aluminium dust has also been found to be quite explosive, and sey- eral disastrous explosions of this Idust have occurred in manufacturing establishments The dusts of various grains have been found by the De partment of Agriculture to be re sponsible for a number of severe iexplosions ill flour mills and grain elevators. Hard rubber dust is also declared to be explosive. The dust of rock containing free
 silica, found in some metal mines in the west, settling in the lungs
 of the miners, is responsible for q
 heavy annual death rate from tu~
 berculosis. The Bureau of Mines found ill an investigation of con ditions in the Butte, Montana, copper mining district, that the tubercular death rate of Butte miners was nearly thirteen times as great as that of residents of the state of Michigan. Pulmonary diseases due to rock dust among the miners of
 the Joplin, Mo, lead and zinc dis
 trict affects probably as high as 30 per cent of the miners employed

 ILLITERACY
 IN ARKANSAS
Among Twelve Southern States Arkansas Now Ranks Fourth-Improve- ment Past 10 Years.

|, Little Rock, Oct 19,-Gratifying improvement has been made in Arkansas during the last ten years in overcoming illiteracy, according to statistics made public by the federal government.
 According to these figures, Ark ansas ranks number 3S among the states in the number of illiterates above ten years of age, as compared with number 37 ten years ago. While it appears that Arkansas has thus fallen one point, it Is never theless true that the relative amount of illiteracy has been decreased dur ing the decade from 1926 per cent to 9.35 per cent. The loss in rank is due 10 the fact that other states have made q greater proportionate gain.
 Among the 12 southern states, Arkansas ranks fourth. Taken al together. the conditions are consid- cred to be most gratifying and the improvement is considered relative ly great
 Louisiana is at tho bottom of the list, with a percentage of 21.86, due largely 10 the foreign born and negro clements; while Iowa is at the head of the list with an Hitter. acy of only 1.07 per cent
 With the arousing of public c0n- science and the definite work that is being done to eradicate illiteracy, it is believed that the next ten years will see Arkansas much further ad~ vanced toward the total edalication of illiteracy.

in certain classes of mines, Remedial measures are being found by the of better ventilation and through the use Of water in drilling and in the ore piles to prevent for nation of a dust cloud in the air.
 Not all dusts are the enemies of mankind, however. The Bureau of Mines is encouraging the use in coal mines of barriers of certain rock dusts which, when jared by the ex- plosion of coal dust, scatter and act sas a screen for the stoppage of the exploding coal dust. The dust waste from slate quarries, amounting to about 30 per cent of the entire material mined, has been found by the bureau to be peculiar ly adapted to use as filler in the making of asphalt road surfaces.
