Inere mas Deen very little I'M
employment except during mod.
crate recession near the end of the
year, and the rate of real wages
remained higher than anywhere
else in the world or than at any
other time in world history"
Hoover said.
"The high prosperity of the year
did not represent merely an up
ward swing in the business cycle,
but was the result of general,
permanent progress.
There were, to be sure, a. few
aspects Of American business which
were less satisfactory. as, for ex-
ample, the coal and textile indus
tries, the relatively low price of cot
ton with its depressing effect upon
the farmers of large regions Of the
South and some continued depres.
sion in agriculture of the midwest,
although improvement is taking
place since the fiscal year in both
sections"
Increased Output
Hoover declared that the volume
of output of the manufacturing in
dustry showed an appreciable gain
even above the extremely high level
of the fiscal year, 1925-192e. The i'm
provement was not the result of an
exceptionally marked increase in any
particular field, but was general in
practically every group of industries.
He called especial attention to the
fact that production in the textile in.
dustries, which had long been rela.
lively depressed, was materially
greater than in the preceding year.
Most conspicuous gains we're in
mineral production, freight trans.
portation, output of electrical cur
rent, and sales of five and ten cent
stores. The increase ;, in the last
two mentioned items is part of a
general upward trend more marked
than that in most economic phe-
nomena, according to Hoover.
wholesale prices were found to
The Washington times., 1927-12-02

have been on a very steady level
during the past five years, devoid
OF sharp upward movements due
to boom psychology, and no sudden
drops due to contraction in demand.
The wholesale price index for 1926.
1927 was per cent lower than for
1925-1926.
"The fact that the prices Of com,
modities in general have fallen con-
siderably for more than two years
past does not at all point to a re-
duction of demand Hoover ex-
planned.
1T may be partly the result of
the return of various European
countries to the gold standard, and
the regulation of the total amount
of currency, including paper, cir
culating in the world. There is
reason to believe also that the de-
cline has been influenced by the
constant expansion of production
and coverings of costs of commod.
tiles both in America and else.
where.
General Improvement
If there are more goods to be
bought and sold without an in.
crease in the volume of currency
in circulation the tendency is to.
ward lower prices. There can be
no question that as result of fall
ing prices there has been a ten.
dency to lower profits"
Hoover remarked that the situa-
ton OF the farmer has an important
bearing on the general trend of in.
dustry and commerce. While the
value of animal products showed
some gain, the lower prices of GER
tain crops. notably of cotton,
brought the total value of farm
products in 1926-1927 to a figure
somewhat less than the year be.
fore. According to estimates of
the Department of Agriculture, the
combined value of crops and animal
products, deducting crops fed to
The Washington times., 1927-12-02

animals, used for seed and waste,
amounted to $12,0SO, 200. 900. about
$500, 100000 less than 1925-1926.
Hoover said that the new corr
struction undertaken in 1926.1927
amounted to about $1,000, 600 900,
constituting a powerful factor in
maintaining general business activi-
ty and prosperity. Retail prices OF
materials for frame houses and the
general index of wholesale prices for
building materials declined in the
year and were given as lower than
at any time since 1922.
General improvement and greater
efficiency in transportation indus.
try was seen by the Secretary.
From the standpoint of banking
and finance Hoover remarked that
the year was one Of sound but un
eventful growth with ample money
at low, stable rates.

Alien Property Bill
To Get Early Action

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
regards it probable that the alien

the first disposed of by Congress,

Mellon feels that the bill should

property seized in wartime should
be returned as soon as possible.

ed ideal. Today it is ridiculed, maligned or, what" is still more ignominous, forgotten.
 This tragic victim of progress is the front porch. No longer is it considered by architects in the drafting of their plans for the modern home, and with the new" home-builder it is as obsolete as the wood shed and out-kitchen. While the solarium and roofless plazas which grace the mod ern home have replaced the old-fashioned porch, they can never fulfill the ancient duties of the old front porch. Once the home was judged by it's veranda. Formerly it was a coveted privilege to rock in a chair on the front porch, to see and be seen, but in this revolutionary age it is consid- CT very bourgeois to expose ones self in such an idle mood and reposing posture to the curious crowds. The porch has been abolished, so the house. hold can not sit out to see the world pass by on parade, and to perfect the conspiracy against tn e front porch high walls and hedges now pre- vent the parade" from look ing in.
 Some through sentiment will miss the old front porch along with the hitching post, cigar store Indian, watering trough and blushing maiden, but the viewers-with-alarm with their customary pessimism will see in it a confirmation of the re- port that people don't. build porches because the modern home is only a place to sleep in and the report that the automobile has supplanted the porch as the great American perspective and rest-resort.

MORE THAN ORE
 NEEDED TO MAKE MINES

Another pet platitude of cert ain mining journals is the par rot-like repetition: "It takes ore to make a mine," says Mining Truth, (Spokane). As matter of fact it takes more than. ore to make a mine. There are immense ore depos- it's scattered all thru this west ern land-but they aren't mines until someone digs into them. And even after they be- come mines they don't always pay until some fellow comes along who really knows bis business. Better mechanical methods, adequate financing and occasionally just blind

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Develop a community spirit.
 It is the community spirit that brings the citizenship closer together and eliminates the lines drawn by cliques. To accomplish anything for the good of the community, sent iment in favor of the proposed project must be created and it is easy to create this sentiment if the proper community spirit prevails.
 The main object of this life should be to make the world a better place in which to live but this cannot be accomplish ed with a citizenship pulling in different directions. The lesser differences should be forgotten when a project is put forth whereby the whole community will prosper and be benefited. If every citizen of the community would get together and eliminate minor prejudges, work with but one object in view and that to make Hyder the best town in the Territory in which to live, the things accomplished would form a monument to the pres ent generation that would live through the ages and be an in- spiration for future general ions to continue the good work.

PASSING OF THE PORCH.

making mlneS.
 The personality of the oper- ator is just as important in mining as in any other busi- ness, and conservative finan- cial publications such as Bar ron's and the Wall Street Journal never cease to empha- size the importance of the human element. There come to mind a few mining concerns in this district which beyond doubt have ore, but whose shares are not at all popular because of public distrust of the arrangements ability. There are also concerns which are engaged in development work and *have demonstrated roe bodies as yet, yet which can be readily financed be- cause people have learned to trust the men directing them.
 Sometimes a company organ iZed to operate in a certain property finds it's work there fruitless, transfers it's atten- tion to another and perhaps a distant field, and makes good. The Federal's great Morning mine was not part of it's original holdings, nor did the Consolidated when it was organized contemplate owner ship of the now famous Sul- livan. Two of the most promis- ing companies operating in Montana started their careers in Idaho; another one with favorable outlook in Idaho and Alaska was formed to mine an old alifornia property.
