 MT. O'Hara says there is now avail able for extraction a body Of ore capa- ble of producing 15O tons a day for three years
 If Mr. Sulzer carries out his plans and he generally succeeds where he starts there are possibilities for de veloping several Kennecotts in the White River country, as stated by Dr. Brooks and mining men who have vis-
  ited the region, which would mean possible extraction of between $30,- 100000 and S5O,OOO,OOo annually, and payroll exceeding 5000 men. It is said Mir. Sulzer is pressing for the connection of the copper region with the Matanuska coal fields and to tidewater at Seward because of the need of Matanuska coal for smelting, the Copper River Railroad being en- crossed with it's own primary objec- tive, the serving of the Kennecott mines and not caring to extend into territory where they do not hold cop. per mines which they contemplate developing.
 Mir. O'Hara departs on today's out going steamer for Cordova, from which point he will go to the mine.

Farm Real Estate Drops 80 Per Cent
In Value In Years, Government Finds

Farm real estate values in the
United States averaged about 80 per
cent lower on March /, 1926. than on
March 1. 1920, according to report
by the United States Department of
Agriculture
Values, says the report, have de-
clined much more in some regions
than in others. Indeed, some local
tiles show increases. In general, the
most severe declines in farm valua-
tions since 1920 have been recorded
in the grain and live stock raising
States Of the Middle West. There
have been severe declines In several
of the Mountain States and In GER
tain cotton States.
In region comprising primarily
the North Atlantic States and extend
ing westward into Michigan and Wis
consin and southwark into Delaware,
Maryland and the Virginias, farm land
values declined comparatively little.
The same is true of the cut-over cOun-
try of northern Minnesota, northern
Wisconsin and the upper peninsula OF
Michigan. In the Texas Panhandle
sharp increases In farm values have
accompanied the conversion of cattle
ranches into cotton farms.
Sustained or increased values in
western Kansas have been associated
with increased acreage of wheat, in
turn partly the outcome of a shift
from grazing, which was aided by the

CONSTRUCTION HITS
NEW RECORD IN 1926
$500, 600, 900 Spent Dur
ing Year-0perations 2 Per
Cent Greater Than in 1925.

Construction operations in the
United States set a new record in 1926
The volume of these operations during
the year just concluded was per
cent greater than the similar figure
registered for 1925, when all previous
records were broken, according to
statistics made public today by the
Associated General Contractors of
America.
Expenditure of $500, 000,0 900 is esti-
mated to have been involved in con-
struction operations last year. OF
this total, $500, 100000 was spent for
construction Of dwellings,, office build
ings and other commercial and indus
trial structures. The expenditure for
highway construction and mainte-
nance is estimated to have been in
excess Of 81, 900, 900. 600, with a similar
amount involved In construction Of
public works and the building opera
tons Of public utilities.
Record i'm December.
The volume Of construction work
carried on during December was the
greatest ever recorded for that month
of the year. This unprecedented De-
cember activity was in keeping with
the present tendency toward increa sed
"cold weather" operations. Although
a sharp decline from the November
figure was shown last month, the
volume indicated for the last 81 days
of 1925 was 4 per cent greater than
the volume registered for December,
1925.
The December volume reached the

development of improved power ma
chinery. Increases noted in western
North Carolina we're in no small de-
gree attributable to residential and
recreational development, situation
true also of sections Of Florida and
California.
1t is estimated on the basis OF the
data collected by the department that
the average value of farm real estate
per acre in the United States, on
March /, 1926, was $76.47, compared
with S1O7 SO on March l. 1920. These
figures are somewhat higher than
those given in the 1925 census. They
show about the same relative changes,
however. More Importance is at
tached by the department to these
relative changes than to the absolute
values indicated.
In relation to the dollar, now worth
in purchasing power but two-thirds OF
its pre-war worth, farm real estate.
as indicated by the United States aver
age, was really worth In 1926 from ~
to 20 per cent less than before the
war, although In terms of current
dollars It was from one-fourth to a
third higher. The general price level,
as indicated by the average. of whole
sale commodity prices. has for the
last four years fiuctuated within rela-
lively narrow limits about level so
per cent above pre-war, but land
values in 1925 were only 20 per cent
above and still easing off.

COMPULSORY AUTO
INSURANCE is URGED
Chicago Judge Would Compel
Motorists to Hold Liability
Policies.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, January Conn
pulsory automobile accident insurance
was advocated here yesterday by
Judge Robert s. Marx of Chicago, in
an address before the American Eco
Monies Association. Such insurance,
he said, would largely prevent the
heavy death and injury toll, elimi-
nate personal injury suits and provide
prompt and certain redress for injured
persons.
Experience with workmen's accident
compensation, Judge Marx said, has
proved that lit is effective in reducing
industrial accidents and similar re-
suits could be expected with the gen.
eral adoption of required automobile
insurance.
Upwards of %, 200 human being are
killed annually in America by auto
mobiles" he said. 1.-THE total number
of injured exceeds half million. In
the majority of cases the automobile
owner or driver is not financially re-
sponsible, and not one cent can be re-
covered by the injured person or the
dependent family of the dead"
DR.. E. w. Kenmerer of Princeton,
president Of the association, pointed
out that the United States has become
the money market of the world, and
that foreign governments, seeking
financial advice, prefer American COM
missions.
There are three principal reasons
for this" he said. First, the belief
that the United States is comparative
~ free from ambitions of political ag-
grandizement, particularly in Europe
and the Orient; second, the economic
and financial prosperity of the United
States in recent years. and, third, a
desire to attract American capital"
The American people, by their pre-
occupation with psychology, psy-
chiatry and psychoanalysis, are re-
freshing democracy by rediscovering

THREE HELD IN BOND
IN KIDNAPPING PLOT
Two Accused of Planning to Hold
Texas Banker for 100000 .
Ransom.
By the Associated Press,

SAN ANTONIO Tex, January i.
Three men accused of conspiring to
kidnap Dan Sullivan, aged San An
tonic banker, and hold him for $780,
900 ransom, waived preliminary hear
ing here Wednesday. Their bonds
were fixed at $4,000 each.
John Adams, a fourth man arrested
in connection with the alleged plot,
was released on his own recogniZanCe
after confessing and becoming a
States witness.
According to Adams, he and the
other three - William Kemp, Tom
Stanley and Clyde Jennings - first
planned to seize Sullivan as he walked
to the post office. When the banker
drove to the post office, accompanied
by his chauffeur, the plan fell through.
They then planned to set his garage
afire Christmas night and kidnap him
as he ran from his home. Detectives,
however, had learned of the plot, and
made the arrests a few hours before
the attempt was to have been made.

TWO MAIN FEATURES
IN LUMBER INDUSTRY
Shutdown in West Coast Softwood
and Curtailment of Southern
Hardwood Cited.

In its weekly review Of the lumber
market the American Lumberman,
Chicago, says:
1.-TWO important developments in the
lumber markets during the last week
were the shutdown of West Coast
softwood operations and the curtail-
ment Of Southern hardwood produc-
ton as a result of transforms.
''Softwood producers everywhere
during the last year had to sell at
prices that were too low, largely be-
cause of the heavy output of Western
mills, and curtailment there viii do
much to bring mill returns to a fairer
level. While hardwood output has not
been excessive, good weather during
the late Fall stimulated production at
a time when demand was slow and
caused weakness, so that the present
bad weather in the hardwood belt is
bound to stiffen quotations.
THE softwood mills during the so
weeks ended December Is had shipped
the full equivalent of their production,
SO that they have no surplus stocks as
they enter the new year, and dis.
tributors' stocks have been kept to
the minimum. Demand has naturally
been below production during the last
lew weeks anu suldy COulIiluS 50 utIIAl
buyers generally begin stocking up
for Spring trade. The outlook is for
an early start on Spring buying, as
late reports from mill and distributing
centers tell of heavy inquiry, Some
Of this would, of course, be for the
purpose of pricing inventories, but it
has resulted in a good deal of business
being placed on the books of the soft.
wood mills for shipment early in Janu-
airy. 1t is generally admitted that
softwood prices are at their low point
and early buyers viii thus have an
advantage.
Hardwood buying has been slow
and some mills have recently been
willing to grant price concessions.
Most Of them, however, have been
holding their quotations firmly and
passing up orders and it is not posi-
BILE to buy at all freely at the low
range. The probability of a heavy
curtailment in mill output will put
new strength in the list. Stocks of
manufacturing consumers are reported
to be low and prospects are for re.
sumption Of heavy buying as soon as
the results of the furniture and auto
mobile shows enable these groups to
gauge the style trends

MERCHANTS BODY GETS
TRAFFIC Department
Branch Under j. w. Smith to
Handle Problems of Freight, Du-
ties Of Railroads, Etc.

The board of governors Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
.tion hhave voted to create a new
section of the organization to be
known as the traffic department.
This department will handle all the
traffic problems of the members. 1t
will handle the question of freight
rates, embargoes, the duties and liabil-
tiles of railroads, transportation
changes and the checking and audit
ing Of freight bills. The department
will be handled by j. w. Smith, a traf-
fic expert.
The association also will appeal to
Congress for change in the corpora
ton taxes. They feel that the present
income tax rate on corporations of
1914 per cent is forcing number of
business men to dissolve corporations
and form partnerships to get the bene-
fit of the lower income tax rate.
Report was also made by Joseph
Burkart, chairman of the special in
dustrial committee and representative
of the association on the joint COM
mittee on industrial interests formed
by all the local trade bodies. He stated
campaign was being worked out that
would include the Virginia and Mary

to create more interest in business op-
portunities here.

REALTORS OPPOSE
L|ENLAW PASSAGE
Baltimore Board Holds Pro-
posed Measure Would Aid
Crooked Builders.

BALTIMORE, January l (SpeciaD
The Real Estate Board of Baltimore
IS proposing to make a strenuous
fight against the passage of the old
lien law at the coming session of the
State Legislature. according to c,
Philip Pitt, secretary.
Mr.. Pitt said:
"a lien law such as is demanded
by some provides that any one who
employs a contractor to erect a build
ing must be responsible for the con
tractors debts or pay casualty
company to- assume the responsibility
"Aids Crooked Contractors"
"A law of this character imme'
diately sets up a condition where
every crooked contractor and f1yby-
night builder can obtain unlimited
credit.
There is absolutely nothing to
prevent manufacturers and dealers
from refusing to give credit to those
who are not trustworthy or to pre-
vent their demanding from them Sc
curity for the credit asked. Why
should they ask the State to pass a
law which sets up an artificial credit
COnQltlOn Wnlcn QOeS not apply W S1Iiy
other line of business?
LAS has been pointed out before,
under a law such as this, it would be
possible to make an innocent home
buyer pay for the brick or furnace in
his home two or three times. This
would apply particularly to new
houses which had just been COM
pleted.
Bond Only Safety.
IF the purchaser was not familiar
with the law and paid cash for his
house; if the builder took the money
and failed to pay for any of the ma
terial in the house, those who fur
nished the material could demand pay
ment from the purchaser, or execute
a lien on the property.
1.-THE only safe way home buyers
could obtain adequate protection
would be to demand a bond against
liens. In connection with this, it is
interesting to note that the president
of a large local company which writes
such bonds heads a committee ap-
pointed by Secretary Herbert Hoover
to draft a uniform mechanics lien
act with view to standardiZing
such laws in all States.
I'VE already have a mechanics lien
law, but it does not provide for liens
