8 Billion Wealth
Along 6 The Santa
Fe Announced

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15-More
than eight billion dollars repre-
sent the wealth from farm, ranch,
mine and forest garnered from the
twelve states traversed by the
Santa Fe system during 1926, ac-
cording to announcement by j. Il.
FARRELL, agricultural development
manager, Topeka.
California is second in the list,
and is only exceeded by Texas.
The agricultural, mineral and
lumber output of California for
1926 reached the staggering total
Of $1,170,000, represented by $780,,
100000 in fruits and agricultural
products; $200,0O0,000 in livestock;
mineral output worth $450,000, 900,
and $60,00O,00O in lumber. Texas
produced SILL 100000 in wealth
this year.
Dairy and poultry were includ-
ed under the livestock classified
ton, while oil and gas are given
in the mineral column The live
stock represented the sales and
not the stock left on the farm or
range; also the lumber totals do
not include the timber left stand
ing in the forest.
"The year 1926" says Manager
farrell, has brought to the peo-
pie of the Southwest a fair meas
ure of prosperity, as indicated by
the table. Rails Of the Santa Fe
serve the twelve states named.
From third to half of the coun-
try's foodstuff for the year, includ-
ing 5 per cent Of the winter wheat,
was produced in these states. CAL
ifornia and Louisiana take credit
for having produced 80 per cent Of
the rice; California alone practi-
cally all the lemons and 81 per
cent Of the oranges, and 95 per
cent of the grapes. The twelve
Santa Fe states have produced
this year half Of the nations crop
Of corn, half the peaches and
pears; half the oats, more than
one-third of the barley and a
fourth of all the potatoes. Texas
produced nearly third of all the
cotton, while Oklahoma, Kansas
and Colorado produced all the
broom corn
The twelve states and their to-
tai crop values are as follows:

Arizona Livestock
Situation Better
Expert Declares

That conditions of the livestock
industry in Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas are greatly improved
over last year is the opinion of
T. f. Ramsay of Red Bluff, Cali
fornia, president and general man
ager Of the Pacific Agricultural
Credit Corporation, who recently
completed a trip through the
southwest.
The six years droughth has been
broken with ample rainfall and
feed is good, Ramsay declared af-
ter visiting cattle ranges in the
Wilcox, Globe and Phoenix sec
tions of Arizona, Silver City ad
Roswell New Mexico and Ell Paso,
Alpine and Maria, Texas.
"While it is true that there has
been good deal of liquidation and
cattlemen have been forced out Of
business" Ramsay states, "those
cattlemen who have survived are
optimistic and are having less trou-
BILE financing themselves. The idea
that Arizona, New Mexico and Tex
as cattle are inferior stock is err
roneous and has resulted from the
sale Of old Mexico cattle as Ari-
zonas.
Thousands Of head of cattle
which ] saw in the three states Wis
tied cannot be excelled anywhere"
Ramsay declared.
nnm addition to-. being the head
Of the credit corportion, Ramsay
is past president of the California
Cattlemen's Cooperative Marketing
Association, which is operating in
the five western states of New Mex
leo, Arizona, Nevada, California
and Oregon. This organization, ac-
cording to Ramsay has done much
to improve the cattle situation and
the membership in New Mexico and
Arizona is particularly strong.

FINANCIAL NEWS
Wheat On Upturn
AS Buyers Ignore
Reports OF Surplus


CHICAGO, Dec. Is (AP)-Vigo-
rous upturns in wheat values to-
day resulted from more attention
being given to domestic conditions
and less to reiterating reports OF
world surplus stocks.
Closing quotations on wheat
were firm, 1 Is to 1 5-8c net high
er with corn half to 3-4c up, oats
showing 3-8 to / 1-8c advance, and
provisions at gains of five to 7c.
At first the wheat market here
had a downward slant induced by
lower quotations at Liverpool, but
the fact soon became apparent that
sellers had over reached them
selves.
Spectators Are Active
Active speculative buying quick
ly developed, and prices went
climbing throughout the remand
err of the day. Most Of the buy
ing appeared to be based on small
ness OF Chicago wheat stocks and
on falling-off in the domestic crop
movement. To some extent, low
temperatures over the United
States winter crop region were
also accounted a stimulating in
fluence.
Friends Of higher prices for
wheat pointed out that domestic
primary receipts have of late been
averaging only about half as much
in volume as year ago, notwith-
standing that the United States
raised small crop last year and
large crop this year.
Extra Fine Wheat
1t was also asserted that United
States wheat this season has been
of extra fine quality for milling
and has gone into consumer use
at a more rapid pace than as in
general supposed.
Under such circumstances, it is
contended, that Chicago is unlike
ly at present to attract wheat from
cities >fC
Corn went up in value with
wheat, but Jagged a little on ac-
count of possibility Of larger corn
markets. t
Country advices indicaed thai
oats were scarce and the cror
quality low.
: Provisions responsible tc
higher prices on hogs and to more
liberal shipping sales of lard.

Fresh Fruit Haul Down to Science
With fresh fruits and vegetables
becoming more generally consum-
ed in homes, hotels and restaur-
ants, President w. B. Storey, of
the Santa Fe Railway devotes his
monthly Bulletin for December to
some Of the interesting phases of
refrigerator transportation, and
tells how the proposition has been
reduced to a science that has re
suited in the saving of millions to
growers and shippers of these pro-
ducts grown in California, New
Mexico and Arizona particularly
The average haul on the Santa
Fe lines Of citrus fruits is 1900
miles; other fresh fruits 1,700
miles; fresh vegetables other than
potatoes, 1900 miles. Many of
these shipments move hundreds of
miles further over other lines to
final destination, says the presi-
dent.
Such service" reads the Bulle-
tin, "also includes expedited train
service heavily insulated and cost
.ly refrigerator cars, icing facilities
and an organization specializing in
the transportation of such perish
able freight.
"The Santa Fe was the pioneer
in California and the states it
serves in using refrigerator cars
for handling fresh fruits and, vege-
tables, such cars being first used
in the movement of oranges AID
other fresh fruits from California.
Prior to the entry Of the Santa Fe
into California in 1885 fresh fruits
were handled in ventilated boz
cars. AS result Of this COM
pany's pioneering, refrigerator
equipment for handling Of fresh
fruits and vegetables has become
general.
"In 1925 the Santa Fe handled
under refrigeration 20,562 cars Of
citrus fruits; 46,475 carloads Of
other fresh fruits; 1881 carloads
OF fresh vegetables; 14,010 car
loads Of potatoes in addition; 49,
404 carloads of dressed poult1y,
fresh meats, eggs, butter ami
cheese"
1t is further stated that the av-
erage load of perishable freight
handled by the Santa Fe in 1925
was about 1856 tons-only ~ per
cent of the cars capacity, While
the average load Of other freight is
about rs per cent of the cars cap
acity The Santa Fe has invested
more than $4,250,000 in ice plants
to insure adequate supply for pro-
per refrigeration and protection of
the commodities. In 1925 the
company used for this purpose
alone over 100000 tons of ice.

Strong As Baldwin
Declines Slightly

- NEW YORK, Dec. Is (AP)-
Heavy selling for both accounts in
recent speculative leaders, coinci-
dent with resumption of pool op-
$ erations in a number of standard
industrials and specialties, impart-
: ed considerable irregularity to
prices in today's stock market.
~ Trading was again on a large
scale with orders spread over
broad list, including an expansion
in public participation.
The principal news develop
ments Of the day were favorable.
Call money dropped from 5 to A
IL per cent as funds began to

announced as unchanged at 4 per
cent. Directors of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad declared an eX-
ira dividend of fifty cent but made
no change in the regular Sc an
epual rate. The weekly trade re-
views reported little change in op-
erations.
Baldwin Drops Slightly
-, Such selling as occurred was re-
garded as a natural development
after several days Of steadily rising
prices. Baldwin, after establish
ing a new high record for all

CREECH BROS. REFUSE
PILE DRIVERS DEMAND

On October s, 1895, the Pile Drivers
Union notified local pile driving cOn-
tractors that on November /, they
would contend for the wage scale
authorized BY their international
Union SIX months ago, and the scale
which has been paid in practically al
sections of the Pacific Northwest dur
ing the past three years. There are
three pile driving csncerns on Graya
Harbor: two Of which have agreed to
pas, and are now paying the scale de-
manded by the union, namely Creech
d Walker Of Aberdeen and the Grays
Hafbor Construction Company Of Ho-
duiam. Cfeech BfotIiers Construction
Company. the third concern, have not
only refused to pay the scale, but
have emphatieRlly refused TO consider
plans for arbitration, and imported
non-union men into the city to drive
Che piling on the new City Retail
Lumber Company's building on Mar
ket street.
When officers Of tie Pile Drivers
Union and the business agent for
the Building Trades Council sought
an interview with Mr.. Creech
he declared that the union had not
acted fair in demanding an increase
Of pay on the job in which he is now
engaged in driving piles with noa-
union men. They assured him that
the job would be completed at the old
scale, provided he would agree to
grant the conditions as agreed to by
the other two concerns. This he
fatty refused to. do, declaring that
he was through with union labor.
