FAVORED REDUCTIONS
in FIRE DEPARTMENT
Former Head of Commission Took
Stand in Matter several Months
AGO, is Report Now Heard

Had the board of fire commission
ers not experienced the upheaval Of
several months ago which resulted
in the departure of Chairman Fred
Macomher from that commission, it
is believed that a recommendation
would have been made for cut in
salary for the entire department.
IN-Chairman Macomber has been
quoted as in favor of adjustments"
to present conditions. During his
tenure of office he made no public
statement to that effect, hut is under
stood that he was in conference with
the chairman of the salary commit
tee, and that both coucurred in the
belief that cuts were timely.
The present commission has not
gone on record as either favoring or
disappearing cuts. A letter was re-
ceived from Chairman Eichstaedt at
recent meeting. in which adjust
ments" were recommended, but the
message was placed on file without
action.
The commission will be heard by
the salary committee either in the
latter part of this week or the early
part of next week for the purpose of
receiving arguments pro and con on
the question OF adjustments

Farm Outlook Good

Washington, Jan. 2.-(By the AS
sociated Press)--"The farmer can
enter the new year in spirit OF
hopefulness and good cheer" Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace stated in
a New Years message to farmers.
Il see nothing which indicates boom
times for the farmers in the near
future he continued, but there does
seem to be promise of better times
both for the farmer and for those
whose business is largely dependent
upon him" While unwilling to make
any hard and fast prophecy" the ESQ
cretary said that there are sign>
which indicate 'the coming wear
should be a better one for the farmer
and for those who deal with him than
was 1921"
Among the hopeful signs enumerat-
ed by the secretary were the improve
ment In credit conditions through
regular channels and by special agen-
cles created to meet the farmers
needs, bringing a lowering of interest
rates; reductions already made in
freight rates on farm products; re-
duction in the cost in 1922 of promis-
ing farm crops; and a probable in
crease In the price of grain following
what seems likely to be a decrease In
acreage planted to such crops.
FARMERS are coming to see more
clearly that the task of putting their
farming on a Nund business basis ia
really up to them and through organ
l2ation they can reduce marketing

Value of Alaska's
Product Decreases

Washington, Jan 2.-Alaska's min
eral production during the year 1921,
according to preliminary estimates
made public today by the geological
survey, was valued at S16,109, 600
compared with s23,303,757 during the
previous year. The decrease shown
Is accounted for by loss of about
s6,000.00o in the value of copper
mined; $4,000 loss In silver; s100
600 in lead; S155, 900 in platinum and
$i&0.00o IN petroleum. An increase
of about SlS5,o0o was shown in the
production of coal. The decrease in
both copper production and develop
ment was ascribed to the, low price of

Wall Street Optimistic

l'ress)--Wall street views the passing
OF 1921 with few regrets but looks
hopefully to the future, although real
izing that the new year will put before
1t even greater test of its resources
and stability.
Leaders of industry and finance en-
phasize their belief that return to
normal conditions cannot be ac-
complished until everybody settles
down to earnest work, economy and
saving.
For the most part, however those
who hold the purse strings and con-
troll the countrys important indus
trial enterprises believe the United
States is destined to grow as a world
power.
This belief is largely founded on
the fact that Europe is leaning more
heavily upon this market All for.
eign nations. it is pointed out, look to
the United States as almost the only
market for the capital needed to effect
the rehabilitation OF the Old Word
The latest case in point is that of
