ALL SET NOW
FOR HIGH LINE
Club Raises Quota for Soil
Survey = To Ask
for Agent b

About eighteen hundred of the
+,uentv-five hundred dollars necessary
was raised at the regular meeting of
the Commercial club held last Thurs
dav night at the Highlands club
house. The money will be used for
the purpose of securing soil survey
II the lands under the Kennewick r.
rieation district, which is the next
federal project to be considered in
this state.
The reclamation department re-
nuires. on all its future projects, a
soil survey of the entire district uri-
der the proposed ditch. All land unfit
for cultivation will be excluded from
the district and its feasibility deter
mined from the net cost per acre Of
tillable land. The estimated cost for
the survey Of this project will be in
the neighborhood $2500 half Of which
must be raised by the district.
The money is in the form of loan,
however, and not donation. Subscrib
ers are given bonds on the district
bearing lHteiSSI dt SiA pei CSHI, Iuc
money to be returned when the pro-
ject is in operation.
The Kennewick high line has al
ready done much of the preliminary
work required by the government,
has acquired water rights, damsitese,
ETC., and this final survey is the last
step to be taken before the govern
ment takes over the work. 1t is hoped
that action may be started even be-
fore the completion of the $9,0O0,OO0
Kittitas project now under way.
The club voted to endorse the res
olution asking the county commits
sioners to provide for county agent
in their next budget.

SWIFT IS REPORTED
SEEKING BIG CHAIN
Held to Be Negotiating for
ITO Butcher Shops in
BuenOS Aires.
BY JOHN w. WHITE.

By Cable to The star and Chicago Daily News
BtENOS AIRES, Argentina. March
23.--It Is perSistently reported in
banking and stock exchange circles
here that Swift & Co. of Chicago is
negotiating for the purchase Of ITO
chain butcher shops in Buenos Aires.
Present conditions in the Argentine
meat business and that companys ac-
ton under similar conditions in the
United States 20 years ago, add Gre
dence to the report.
The quality of Argentine beef has
been declining seriously, with the re-
suit that there has been a decrease of
$4,000 tons in exports to Great Britain
III the last year. The decrease is 8
per cent OF the previous years ship
ments, and represents n loss Of $4,-
10000 compared with 1924.
The poor quality is the outcome of
crisis in 1921 which followed wild
speculation In lands and cattle during
the war. During the crisis breeders
sold their herds to meet obligations at
subsequent low prices
There was an unjuStified renewed
importation of thoroughbred bulls to
maintain the high quality necessary
for chillerS. The British market is
complaining that Argentine chilled
meat is unsqual TO the former quality.
1t is feared here that this will lead
to increased importation of, live cat
tie from Canada since Canada is max
ing every effort to compete with Ar
gentine beef on the Smithfield market.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Preferred Stocks Neglected.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


In the preceding article we discuss
ed the criticism made of preferred
stocks as Investments on the ground
that they do not have the security OF
bonds, which of course Is true. we
showed, however. that some OF them,
as far as regularity of income is CON
cerned, are just as sound as bondS.
The other objection to preferred
stocks is that they do not afford the
holder the opportunity of sharing III
the prosperity of the company as 90
common stocks and that their pre-
ferred position Is not sufficient recon-.
penSe therefore. 1t cannot be denieu
that from one standpoint the obJectlo''
is valid The answer is that all those
matters are taken account OF In the
market price.
The compensation for those draw
backs comes i'm the return preferred
stocks give compared with other Sc
curities. This is strkingly brought out
in times of rapidly advancing prices
for common stocks. The market tor
the entire year 1925 illustrates IN"
point. All those IL months was d
period of rising prices i'll the STOCK
market. Bonds advanced also, quota
tions reaching the highest point IN
eight years. But all during that
period the preferred issues were neg
lected On the one hand, the investor
who insisted on bonds for reasons al
ready stated would not consider the
preferred stocks under any circum-
stance. On the other hand, the spec
ulator who was looking primarily Tor
price appreciation in the market value
of his holdings would have nothing
but common stocks. He was not In
terested in preferred issues because
he knew that the fact that they were
limited to a fixed dividend rate also
limited any increase in the quotations
The result was that the investor
who was willing to overlook the disad.
vantages inherent in the preferred
stock was able to get larger return
on his money than he could In any
other form of investment with equal
safety.
