week as compared with 10.000,000 tons normally. Copper production vir- tually ceased in the early part of the year while the country absorbed the large leftover stocks In November production had reached 21,000,000 1 pounds. Wheat flour production, down to 5000, ,0O0 barrels in June, rose to 14.00O, ,000 barrels In November. Sugar was stagnant during the large part of the year, but nearly all the big surplus was assimilated as the year went out. A year ago revenue stamps were issued to cover 27,000, 900 pounds of manufactured tobacco; last month stamps were issued to cover nearly 35,o00,00o pounds. Crude pe- 1 troleum production rose to about 10000, 900 barrels month during the summer and dropped back to 35,ooo.- 900 in the fall
 Pig iron production dropped to i S0S.000 tons in July as against g., 100000 tons in October, 1920. Within four months, however, the produc- tion more than doubled. reaching 1, ,660, 900 tons in November last. A. year ago nearly half of all the looms in the country were Idle; today wool is going through four looms out of every five. Production of leather has jumped Is per cent since the first
 
 production Is up 60 per cent from the low mark of the year.
 A year ago 13.000 carloads of au- tomobiles were shipped from AmerI- can factories. The number jumped to 10000 carloads In June, dropped a few carloads in July and repeated the 10000 figure in August. Last November 14,000 carloads were shipped. The year was notable for price reduction.
 Millions Back at Work
 The story of the years production of raw materials and manufactured products parallels the story of labor during the year. Steadily the index figures dropped from January to July. Then the curve swung up ward; the worst had passed. On l July 31, Secretary Davis estimated, more than 5.000,000 men were out of employment. Tn November, Secre- tary Hoover estimated, more than 2,000, 900 of that number had gone back to work.
 Tens of thousands of these men went back to work in the building trades. The building trades are booming; Americans are building homes, The high tide of activity l came last October when permits for l s172,00O,O00 of construction were is- sued In 166 cities, as compared with l $95,0000,000 In the same cities g year before. Observers say that this great volume of work, which has been eclipsed only once In the country s history, will be greatly exceeded in | the spring.
 During the first II months of the year new capital was provided for l S7,O00 900, 900 dollars capitalized en- terprises, as shown by corporation charters. In 1920 the figure was double this amount. The other side of the picture Is shown in the num- Der of commercial failures. They to- tailed 17.17S during the first II months of 1921 and their liabilities neared the $500, 900, ,000 mark. In 192e there were 1856 failures with liabii- ities of $1Ss, ,000, 900,

POWERS AGREE ON CABLE QUESTION
 AT ARMS FARLEY
(Continued from Page one

cable advices regarding the confer ence at Cannes and indications among various delegations here revived dis cussion of possible change of atti- tude on the part of France which would permit an agreement in tthe not far distant future on submarines and auxiliary crafts. There was no official background for such an ex- pectation, but the Cannes delibera- tions between Premiers Briand and Lloyd George are to be watched hope fully from Washington.
 Along with these speculations has developed new interest in the pro- posal of President Harding for future world conferences that may be the beginning of an association of na- tions." That proposal although thus far one of the informal elements of the negotiations here, is one of the most persistent elements also, and may be brought to the point of final action before the conference quits.

CAPITAL THINKS HOOVER
 SUGGESTED TINKLES OFFER

Washington, December 31.-(Spe- cial. The proposed offer of c. c. Thinker of the American Construc- ton company for the governments properties at Muscle Shoals, has as- sumed apparently more importance than was originally attached to it. For the California promoter, who has built the water supply of San Fran cisco is said to have been moved to compete with Henry Ford for the governments plants by a suggestion from Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce in the cabinet of Presi- dent Harding.
 This within itself would not be COIL sidered of unusual importance in Washington but for the fact that 1t has always been the general under standing that MT. Hoover was pow erfui packer of Henry Ford.
 The proposed offer. however. judg- ing from the skeleton which has been presented in the press, does not ap- pear formidable. In a nutshell 1t ap- pears to be a proposition in which the government would supply the money, Thinker would operate the plants, and the profits would be equally divided between the two interests.
 Tinkler's representatives are said to be at Muscle Shoals at the present time. The Secretary Of War has agreed to receive them formally Jan- uarv 4

Laclede is about fifteen miles southwest of Standpoint on the Pend Oreille River.

SAYS NO SUCH TITLE
 AS CONGRESSMAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Any high school student, standing on his con- stitutional rights, is reminded that the next time Representative Me- VonGoogley, of the 753rd district of Delaware, for example, is intro duced by the teacher at the Fri day night speaking service-which preceded the refreshments-as Con- gressman McVonGoogley, he may rise and declare there is no such dignity.
 Digging through the musty rec ords, William Tyler Page, dlerk of the House of Representatives, has found-and printed in little hand book-that there is no official sanction for the title. The consti- tuition, says MT. Page, sanctions the use of the words representative" and members" as designating those persons composing the House.
 But like other words which have crept into use since Noah Webster's day, congressman takes it's place, and the average representative, over the telephone or to your face-if you don't know him-will say he is Con- gressman So and So. Some cabinet officers at House Committee hear ings, who don't happen to know the representatives by name, meet the occasion by saying Congressman The, easier method around the House these days, if a man wants to keep within the constitution, is to ad- dress a member as Judge" It hits the right spot, and he smiles af- fably-like the fabled colonel of Kentucky.

MORE DETAILS OF
LANDER SHOOTING

Friday evening. the 7th inst. be-
tween $3.50 and Z O'Clock, at the
Smith Creek ranch, 35 miles west of
Austin, w. T. Maestretti, owner of
the ranch shot Frank Abitua with a
5000 rife, the bullet entering the
left side and coming out on the right
side, severing all the intestines, says
the Battle Mountain Scout.
After the shooting Mr.. Maestretti
and his two sons placed the wounded
man in their auto and took him to
Austin where he died o short time
after their arrival. Mr.. Maestretti
gave himself up to Sheriff Parker,
who placed him in Jail and entered
a charge of murder. The defendant
refuses to make a statement, but
retained Ben F. Curler, of Reno, as
his attorney. The commissioners of
this county have retained C. E. Rob-
bins. of Winnemucca. to conduct the
prosecution, as the defndant is a
brother of the district attorney. Mr..
Robins went to Austin Monday even
ing with Sheriff Parker.
The preliminary hearing was set
for Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock.
The supposition in Austin is that
Maestretti and Abltua had words
over the latter grazing his sheep
near the home ranch of Maestretti.
and that the latter acted in self de-
Tense. Before dying, Abitua stated
that he and Maestretti were talking
when the latter grabbed him by the
shoulder. He pulled away and in do
ing so his suspender was broken. He
ran to his wagon some 20 yards away,
secured his gun and had 1t in front
of him when struck by the fatal bull
let from Maestretti's rife.
When the news of the tragedy
reached Battle Mountain there was
much regret. as both parties are well
known here, the deceased having
been in town about ten days ago on
business. Mr.. Maestretti has resided
on the ranch. where the unfortunate
affair took place. all his life. and this
is the first time he has ever been in
trouble.
A telegram received yesterday af-
ternoon at the Scout" Office from
Austin reads as follows: "Maestretti
discharged at preliminary hearing
to-day. Joe Parker"
