 DISTRICT, EXCELLENT,
 REPORTS SGHALLERER

Providing mining developments continue at the present encour- aging pace in the Valdez region that once foremost Alaska center will again blossom forth as one of the Territory's busiest mining areas. It would surprise the aver age person, not in touch with conditions there, to know of the many mining men of prominence who have come up from the Out side, during the past year, to in spect old and new properties and strikes brought to light this year are really astonishing.
 This is the good message brot to Seward by Otto Schallerer, of the Alaska Shop, who return ed the other day from three months iaunt up and down the highways and trails seeking and snapping hundreds of the mag nificent beauty spots found no where else in Alaska but in those regions
 Contrary to the belief of some of the wild yarns heard here for some years past, Valdez is far from being dead" but, on the other hand, is more than hold ing it's own. The business houses are not over crowded thus, all seem to be quite busy
 MT. Schallerer stated Seward can we'll take a leaf from Val dez's book of experience with re- gard to the small boat situation He himself counted at least 3C small craft in port at Valdez in one day. These represented boats owned by the many fox rancherS who have made thriving indus try of the business in that area fishing craft and boats from tht various villages located along the adjacent shoreline
 The business section and resi- dential district of Valdez art in good repair and new improve ments can be noted. But it is the mining activity, the large number of prospectors in the hills, which points the way to the future steady growth of Valdez, Mir lSchallerer stated

Sessions Will Enable Brok-
ers to Catch Up.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 9.-The
stock market was closed today after
ending its week with session Of nor
NAL trading, which, in the opinion Of
bankers, indicated return to sta
bility.
The Stock Exchange and the Curb
Exchange will be open Monday, Armis-
tice day, with two-minute suspension
of business at noon in recognition OF
the day. Three-hour sessions, from 10

Total sales on the Stock Exchange
yesterday we're 3,214,660 shares. The
turnover for the week was 22,5l6,4I0
shares. The ticker was 81 minutes late
at the close.
Readjustments after the frenzied
trading of the last two weeks resulted
in an irregular market which showed
the general level of prices lower at the
close, although several issues made net
gains for the day.
The group Of bankers who organized
to stabilize the market at the beginning
of the collapse said they planned no
meetings over the week end. They
pointed to the orderly character of the
trading, the reduction in volume and
the absence Of selling pressure as indi-
cations Of improved conditions.

There was nothing about the ap-

"CEILING" Is PLACED
ON UTILITIES PROFITS
California Railroad Commission
Establishes Precedent in
Telephone Case.
BY BEN G. KLINE.
special plspAtch to The scar


SAN FRANCISCO, November e.
The California Railroad Commission In
establishing new schedules Of telephone
rates for Los Angeles and the San
Francisco Bay district has served notice
upon public utilities with far-flung in
tereSts in this State that q ceiling"
exists for their profits in the State as
a whole, and that II they are earning
a fair return on their investments In
the whole State they cannot expect q
rate increase in any one district with
out corresponding decrease somewhere
else.
This is the first time that this So
called ceiling" rule has been stated by
the California commission and it is the
outstanding feature Of its decision in
the 212-year-old San Francisco tele-
phone case.
This is the way It worked:
The Pacific Telephone & telegraph
Co. early in 1927 asked the commission
for a higher schedule Of rates in the
San Francisco area, which would have
increased the company's annual revenue
IN this district by about $1,000 900. The
commissions engineers made a thor
ough study OF the company's investment
in San Francisco, Oakland and adjacent
cities, and of its operating expenses and
revenues, and found that the existing
rates, which have not been revised
since before the World War, are too low
to yield a fair return on the invest
ment.
However, its data showed that the
company's total earnings in the State
as whole were little more than sum-
ctent for fair return. It decided, then,
that II rates were increased at San
Francisco they must be lowered some
where so that the total income through
out the State would not be too high
It investigated the company's opera
tons in Los Angeles and found rates
out OF line with those here.
In its final decision, publicly an
nounced today, the commission reduced
rates in Southern California, looping an
estimated $2,310,000 OF the yearly
revenue Of the company there, and re-
yised the schedule upward in the bay
district to the extent of adding $2,100.-
900 to the company's revenue. The
commission estimates that the new
schedules will net the company Z pei
cent income on a proper valuation OF 1T
properties.
