CALIFORNIA TO BE OUTLET
FOR NEVADA LIVESTOCK

Western markets for lievstock con-
stantly are being developed and Ne
vada's natural advantages stand to
profit more and more by the situation
if they will rise to it.
This is the opinion of J. M. Fulton
assistant general passenger and freight
Reno, as drawn from the movements
of livestock as observed by him
In brief, California's lands are be-
ing turned more and more to agricul-
tural uses, while its population is
prowing-with the consumption oil
livestock products, says the Keno
Journal. 49,
"The movement of livestock with
which to supply the California mar
ket show very plainly that Nevada
livestock growers can rest assured
that at least certain percentage
must always come from the eastward
to the California markets in Calitornia
and the Nevana livestock men are bet
ter situated to sell, and at lower
freight rates, than the men in the
states lying further east.

THE GERMAN MARK

The decadence of the German mark
IS hardly realized by the people. A
single illustration of it came to light
yesterday when Henry Duessen, oi
this city, bought at the Hellman bank
draft for 10000 marks for ten dol
lars, sending the money to Germany
He paid SO cents for the exchange.
H. B. Auchincloss, writing to The
Facts short time ago, after the pub
lication of the table compiled by Vor
warts, of the price of commodities in
| Germany, has worked out a further
complication of what a small sum OF
American money will buy, when ex-
pressed in German marks. Mr.. Auch-
incloss remarked that the table would
be still more illuminating by pointing
out the widely different value of the
mark before and since the war. Pre-
war value was 1928 cents; now by late
quotations it takes 100 marks to be
worth one and one-half cents.
In pre-war money 1000 marks were
worth $23S, and bought twenty full
suits of clothes. Today the 1000
marks are worth Is cents.
Nine hundred marks were worth
$2l4.20 and bought a good piano, to-
day worth 13 1-2 cents.
Eight hundred marks were worth
$1,000, bought 100 fat geese, now
worth II cents, buying a gentleman S
hat.
Eleven hundred marks were worth
$160.60 bought kgs. expensive silver;
now worth 101 cents.
Six hundred marks were worth $142.
bought one motorcycle, now worth
cents, buys ky. cotton.
Three hundred marks were worth
$71.40, bought one car of potatoes
now worth 4 1-2 cents, buy 80 eggs.
Two hundred marks were worth
$47.60, bought months stay at the
seaside; now worth 3 cents, buy one
nights ordinary lodging.
One hundred and fifty marks were
worth $3.50, bought one sewing
machine; now worth 2 IL cents and
Five hundred marks were worth
$l1o, bought the furnishings for a
workingman's home; now worth 7 IL
cents, buys 2 pair ladies' hose.
Four hundred marks were worth
$3.50, bought one milk COW; now
worth 6 cents, buys 2 pounds butter.
Gan illustration of the depreciation
of the mark even more striking than
that of the Vorwartz tables seems to
be a comparison of the value of the
professors monthly salary of 5000
marks, in American money once $714,
for now 5000 marks are worth eX-
actly 45 cents.

restless. -Redlands Facts.

OPENS UP SUBURBS

How transportation plays a vital
part in the rise and fall of real es-
tate values is told by w. G. Murrin
in the August issue Of the National
Real Estate Journal
There is a distinct overlapping
between the business of real estate
and the business of supplying
transportation to the community"
declares Murrin. THE value of
property for residential purposes
and the prosperity, change or sta
oility of business property is due
to the operation of a multitude of
factors. many of them entirely un-
connected with the operation of any
transportation system, but it can
be safely said without fear of con-
tradiction that the question of
transportation. and, to be specific.
the street and interurban car serv-
Ice, has a very important bearing.
Transportation Indispensable.
With the growth of a village
into a town, and the town into a
city. its area becomes SO extended
that artificial means Of transporta-
tion are necessary. 1t is no longer
possible for citizens to transact
Sheir business afoot. and the larger
the city grows the more numerous
y and speedy must it's transportation
Facilities become.
The electric street car has been.
during the past twenty years, more
and more the recognized vehicle for
transportation, and. on this conti-
nent Is established and in itself is
the only vehicle which could ade-
quately take care of a large body
of the travelling public and meet it's
needs at all times at a compara-
lively low cost. The same system
has proved capable of development
for interurban uses and has made
possible the subway and river
tunnels. which were previously out
Of the question owing to the smoke
OF locomotives" continued Murrin.
by it's use travel has been made
as speedy as is consistent with
safety, and it has enabled business
to be concentrated in the centers
of cities and homes to be located
in the outlying districts.
1T has, in a few years, released
the city from the bondage of slow
transportation and has stimulated
urban growth in a way that would
never have been possible under
other conditions" he says.

l6 and were only 100000 feet
more than in the corresponding
week of 1921 though production
for the same period was -73.Ooo.ooo
feet greater.
The transportation congestion
seems to have developed to critical
proportions somewhat more su1-
denly in the South than elsewhere,
and the Southern Pine Association
effort to secure more cars from the
car service officials.
Pine Products Increases.
Southern pine shipments declined
the past week S,500.O0O feet in the
face of production increase of
100000 over the preceding week
and with a larger volume of orders.
The West Coast Lumbermen's AS
sociation was barely able to keep
shipments up to the level of the
preceding week in the face of in
creased orders and production.
WhilS the transportation outlook
is ominous some satisfaction is de-
rived from the fact that production
Is gaining on accumulated orders

that most of the building has been

on a scale of magnihcence never

Need for Uniied Service.

The first point l would like to
raise in this connection is that it
must be a system co-ordinated in
all its parts, so that it may. as a
whole, take into consideration all
the travelling requirements of the
community. No series of isolated
units run under different manage
ment could ever provide for this
allrouna service. as each unit wouio
endeavor to give that service profit
able to itself and ignore obligations
of an Improbable nature. l can
asure you that in attempting TO
give transportation facilities COW
ering the whole field of require
ments there are many phases. which
If standing alone are entirely un-
profitable.
Having decided that there must
be a system of transportation il is
important to look into the future
ana consider what system shall BE-
depended upon, and l. again state
That no system of transportation
las yet been devised capable of so
fectively and cheaply meeting the

The Eject on Values.

1T might appear at first sight
Hhat a system OF transportation
Which would make it possible for a
large part of the population to live
a considerable distance away from
the center in which il was en-
ployed. and to get from point to
point quickly under low cost, would
have the effect of equalizing values
over a large area and causing a
great diversity in the districts
where businesses and business
buildings would be located.
AS a matter of fact. il has just
the reverse effect That which
makes it possible to cover a large
area with residential districts is a
very powerful factor. making for
the concentration of the business
districts
"A slow and inefficient -transpor-
tation system reduces the practical
range of travel for the individual

yond a certain point. makes it nee
essary to decentralize. and for nu-
merous business districts. each with
a comparatively small radius of res
idential property tributary to them,

The better the transportation
system. the bigger the area that
