parts of the United States to discuss
with representatives of the miner1
to fix wage scales that would settle
the coal strike.
The coming conference. which IL ~
understood will assemble at 10 o'clock
Saturday, will discuss solely what
steps may be taken to get the wag&
negotiations on foot. 70 date tt
miners union has demanded q
uonal conference while operatorEs. @

Hopeful news of the conference be-

adjournment Of the anthracite general

the suspension into a strike. led the
miners to believe they would be back
in the mines by the middle Of July. 5
Many celebrations were held last
night and others were planned for

 Savings Increase
 Notwithstanding exceptions in Sa- at,le and Spokane, savings deposits generally throughout the district do rot show the decline which might have been anticipated, but, instead, al increase of 4.5 per cent in amour during the year ending December 15.
 'C 3cember sales Of 28 reporting r il stores were 24 per cent less ln dollar value than they were in Cae2mbar. 1890. Sales in San Fran cisco and Los Angele5 were larger in dollar value than in December, 192o. It is apparent that the holiday trade this year was appreciably larg- CT in physical volume than it was last ye2r.
 Figures are now available cover ing sales during the years 1920 and 1921 of the reporting firms in 10 lines of wholesale trade. These fig ures are based upon a comparison of dollar value of net sales and show a decrease in all reporting lines, carving from 1L7 per cent for drugs to 52.G Der cent for agricultural i'm plements. Excluding the latter, the average discount for all lines would not be far from 20 per cent. If cor rections of dollar. values were made to compensate for the price declines which have occurred in all lines dur ing the past two years, it is probable that the physical volume of merchan- disc moved at wholesale would show approximately the same as that moved in 1920 In November three wholesale lines, dry goods, furniture and automobile tires, reported larger dollar values of sales than in No yember, 1920 and in December two more lines, drugs and shoes, were added to the list"

The canned fruit and vegetable industry, which early last year was seriously embarrassed with an abnormally heavy carryover of goods produced at high costs. has been able thus far to dispose of this carryover and most Of the 1921 pack, which is repOrtel to have been 70 per cent of that O. 1920. Market demand at the end Of 1921 was reported good, and pres ent estimates are that the fruit and vegetable pack in the district during the coming year will be a large one.
 "In industrial activity the most notable contrast with conditions pre- vailing a year ago appears in the lumber industry December, 1921 was more active than customary Production of four associations of this district was 36 per cent greater than it was in December, 1920; or ders received were 179 per cent greater and shipments 55 per cent greater in amount; thrilled orders reported by two associations were 190 per cent greater at the end of 1921 than they were at the end of 1920. Exports of lumber to Japan during the first nine months of 1921 were 174 per cent greater than dur ing the first nine months of 1920, and recently slight revival in Aus tralian demand has appeared
 Building Activity
 Building activity throughout the district continues at record figures, December returns being only second 10 those of last October. The year 1921 shows an increase of 31.5 per cent in number and 179 per cent in value of permits compared with 1920.
 Business failures continues to be heavy, those for December being the largest reported during the past three years. They were greater by A. } per cent in number and 13 per cent in total liability than failures in De- cember, 1920
 Bark clearings of the 20 princ- pal cities during December of $1,627.- 956,000 were only Al per cent less than the clearings of December, 1920. This is the smallest percentage of decrease for any month of 1921, when compared with the corresponding month of 1920, and a considerably smaller percentage of decrease than occurred in wholesale and retail prices during the period.

 "Stefansson had made the pur- chase, but he had taken great pains to make the Karluk the northern partys vessel, the finest fitted out ship that ever left for Polar seas
 ''The Alaska. as ours was called, was in such a dilapidated state of lipreservation that the inhabitants of Nome were making wagers as to how iorg it would remain afloat.
 Then came the question of shar- ing the supplies S.efansson took nearly two-th:rds of these and prac tically all the provisions. He had purchased for example, with the gov arnment's money approximately sev- en tons of pemmican, prepared food. He generously allowed us 1000 pounds. He also appropriated every available dog that Scotty Allen, the Nome miner, could find. He excused himself by stating that we could easily get along without them as our work would not take us off the con- tinent."
 Ship Rented at 5000 Daily
 As an example of Stefansson's ex- travagance, Professor O'Neil stated that he once rented an American vessel, the Polar Bear, at $1,0O0 | day. The professor said:
 After the loss of the Karluk. Stef- ansson joined our party at Collision Point. As it was his intention to form a new enterprise to explore Beaufort Sea, via the ice route, he demanded what was left of our 1000 pounds of pcmmican. Our refusal to allow ourselves to be crippled, I be lieve he described as 'insubordina- tion' if not actual 'mutiny.' The gov ernment may now consider a full in quiry justified"
 Professor O'Neil characterized Stefansson's claim that a traveller could live on the game he encoun- tered in the Arctic as absurd The professor said:
 q travelled four times over a 200 mile route, and all the game I saw was two caribou and a few small animals Stefansson boasts that his party lived comfortably on what they shot and never missed a meal. asked one of his men if this was true and he replied that if they never missed a meal some of them were damned far apart"
