F riends About His
Trip In Northwes,

E. Frank Jones, of 1855 E avenue,
writes friends here from Hugo Ore,
where he is stopping for few days
on tour of the coast and the north
west. Jones mentioned in his letter
that he will visit his son, Ed Jones, in
few days. Ed is located in Seattle
and is an employe of the treasury
department.
Mr. Jones also mentions Mrs. d. E..
Heller his sister and also a former
resident of Douglas with whom he is
visiting in Hugo. He states that he
expected to go on north and east fin
ally to Salt Lake City and on down
to the Grand Canyon and finally home
to Douglas about the latter part of
November.
Jones relates in his letter that he has
noticed editorial comments in Oregon
newspapers about the great prosperity
that is sweeping Arizona, He states
that these articles tell the truth about
the great wealth of this safe and in
dicate that the rest of the country is
being notified of the prospects here.

Smaller dependence of farmers up
on bank loans, is indicated by the re-

This decline in loans is due partly
to the fact that the farmers have
liouidated some of their loans con-
tracted earlier and in part to the fact
that their borrowing at the banks in
the spring of this year was somewhat
smaller than the year before.
This decline in loans of agricultural
