RADIO EQUIPMENT WILL GREATLY REDUCE DISASTERS AT SEA

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10---In- creased use of radio appurtenances on ships, revealing the proximity of other craft and their courses, will greatly lessen the number of sea disasters. This was the gist of a talk by John c. Rohlfe, president of the Pacific American teamship Association, at the recent Washing ton conference on ship safety. The newest radio devices, according to Rohlfs, enables ships to continue at normal speed without need to slow down or stop. Their use would tend to lower insurance rates by elimin- mating danger, he said.

MAKE STRIKE IN UPPER YUKON COUNTRY

Word of a strike in Yukon Ter ritory was received in a letter writ ten to Andy Mckenzie, owner of the California Hotel, by Standish O'Sullivan, former Fairbanksan who for the past few years has been around Dawson and Mayo. Writing from Dawson MT. O'Sullivan says:
 There is a little hum of a strike up the Yukon around town during the past week. Yesterday I received letter from John Sten- brater, who as present is at White horse. am enclosing his letter so it will give you the correct ae- count of the strike.
 The letter referred to by Mir. O'Sullivan follows:
 rom Kernish came in to White horse from Livingston Creek two days ago with his first cleanup for few weeks work. He has 153 ounces of the best looking placer gold that anyone has seen in years. These 153 ounces are just about half of it, he tells me. Tom got the whole creek. It was abandoned

MILD WEATHER KEEPS DREDGES BUSY AT NOME

Unusually favorable weather con- ditions are prolonging the mining season in the Seward Peninsula dis trict and the result will be "a ma terial increase in the gold output of the camp over last season, accord ing to James Frawley, pioneer at torney of Nome.
 Weather conditions in the Nome district at the time MT. Frawley left there. were about the same as they are here. with winter seeming ly some distance away yet. The season has been a very good one all the way through and by the time the cold weather halts opera tions, the drcdges will have made a splendid showing for the year, with yield substantially larger than last year.
 The old camp has been producing steadily since the discovery of the beach 'diggings thirty years ago, and there are many more years of activity ahead, MT. Frawley believes more than 8 score at good pro- duction, with always the possibility of bringi..g ia new producing areas to prolong .he life of the camp be- yond present expectations.- An chorage Times.

DALI ISLAND QUARRY
 TO WORK THREE SHIFTS

SEATTLE, Nov. 10-A program of a 24-hour day and seven day week without the usual midwinter suspension of operations is an- nounced by the Pacific Coast Coal Company.
 The increase in working hours will add more than a quarter of a million dollars to the payroll of more than 900 workers, including those at the Dall Island quarry near Ketchikan, the lime plant here and men in the mines.

Halibut Season Closed; Superior Is High Boat
CAPT. NELS FORD AND HIS CREW WILL SHARE MOST MONEY OF THE FLEET

Wages for the high boat of the season of tue Pacific halibut fleet will soon be paid with the broom at the masthead of the Superior, Capt. Nels Ford. according to the KetchilOan Chronicle.
 Dealers, fish buyers and halibut men all declare that there is no further Io .bt about the Superior being the high boat. The Clipper, Zenith and Daily, next in order for money distributed among their crews, already have arrived from the banks ,.ud sold their cargoes. Until the Superior arrives and sells the exact amount of shares for the season will not be definitely known.

Failure of National Dairy

disappointment especially in view
of the dividend increase. I under
stand a big block of the stock
was recently sold privately quite
a bit below current levels, and
that this is coming out on the

pressure.

forced liquidation of a big block

DEADLOCK SEEN
OVER SHOALS

New energy was injected into
the Muscle Shoals controversy to-
day when Representative w.
Frank James (R0 of Michigan,
chairman of the House Military
Affairs Committee, declared Con-
greSs must redeem a promise and
order fertilizer manufactured at
the $135, 900, 900 war-built nitrate
project.
His statement forecast his op-
position to the bill passed by the
House last session, and which
now is tied up by a disagree
ment between Senate and House
conference committees.
After struggling with Muscle
Shoals for years-helping frame
one bill which met a presidential
pocket veto''-Chairman James
was forced to relinQuish his post
as chairman of the Military At
fairs Committee temporarily last
year because of illness.
It was during his absence that
the committee, with Representa-
tive RanSley R.) of Pennsyl-
vania acting as chairman, re-
ported out the bill drafted by
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Reece (R) Of Tennes-
see.
With Senator McNary (R) of
Oregon, chairman of the Senate
Conferen Committee, and
Reece, both declaring they will
stand by the bills of their re-
spective houses, another deadlock
is forecast.

CANADA 5 BEEF
EXPORTS GAIN

MONTREAL, Nov. 14-Resump-
ton on a big scale Of Canada's
beef cattle export trade with
Great Britain is seen in the
recent shipment of a shipload Of
steers from Montreal, consigned
to Manchester for the English
market.
The shipment included $50 two,
three. and four year old steers Of
Shorthorn. Hereford, and Aber-
deen-Angus breeds. Both fat and
store type animals were among
the cattle exported. On arrival
at Manchester. the cattle viii be
put up for sale by auction. Some
of the ranchers from Western
Canada who supplied the cattle
sailed. on the ship to visit the
British cattle marketing centers
and become acquainted with the
requirements and operations of
these markets.
Successful marketing Of this
shipment overseas, it is pointed
out. means the reopening Of a
profitable trade for livestock
breeders in Western Canada.
A marked tendency toward
livestock raising is evident in the
prairie provinces of western
Canada, with the spread of the
gospel Of mixed farming, a bull,
letin issued here by the Depart.
ment Of immigration and Coloni.
zation of the Canadian Pacific
Railway sets forth. Farmers find
greater profits by diversifying
their operations instead Of rely
ing entirely on grain crops for
their income. The report says:
"An evidence of how the
livestock industry is developing
in Western Canada is shown by
the experience Of the province
of Saskatchewan, which regis
tered an income from livestock
products of SIS, ,000. 900 last
year, compared with S23, ,OOO,-
900 in 1928 and S22, 2,OOO, 900 in
1927"

COAL MINING UP
REPORT SAYS

Commercial stocks Of bitumi-
nous coal used largely for indus
trial purposes amounted to 35s
10000 tons on october /, 1880.
according to the quarterly sur
vey just completed by the United
States Bureau of Mines, Depart.
ment of Commerce. In compari-
son with the amount on hand at
the beginning Of the previous
quarter, this is an increase Of s..
100000 tons but 1t is 1900, ,O0O
tons less than the quantity ia
storage on the same date last
year.
Exports during the third quar-
ter Of 1880 averaged 382, 1000 tons
a week, as against 100000 tons
during the. same period last year
The weekly rate Of consumption
within the United States during
the third quarter amounted to u
$1,000 tons, as compared with
7,6l4,O00 tons in the previous
quarter. In comparison with the
same period last year, the rate Of
home consumption plus exports
shows a decrease of, 1871 900 tons
per week. or $50 per cent.
In addition to the stocks in the
hands of consumers there was 9,I
804, 900 tons Of bituminous coal
on hand on the docks Of Lake
Superior and Lake Michigan on
october /, as compared with "a
883, 900 tons on July 1.
Stocks of anthracite In retial
yards on October show the usual
seasonal increase over the amount
In storage on July and are alsd
greater than on the corresponding
date of last year.

DECLINE STOPS'
ELECTRICAL
GROWTH

Although the combined sales
billed by General Electric and
Westinghouse Electric in the first
six months of 1880 amounted to
$500, 100000 as compared with
1894, ,000. 900 in the corresponding
half Of 1929, the Brookmire Eco.
nomic Service, Inc, in its latest
Analyst. conclude that the pres
ent worldwide depression has now
resulted in a definite halt in the
growth of the electrical equip,
ment companies. The pinch of
hard times was reflected in the
third quarter of 1880, when sales
billed by the two companies
named totaled only $126, 900 900 as
compared with $167, 900 900 in the
corresponding period of 1929. Of
course, adds the report:
These companions are hardly
fair since radio business in the
third quarter Of last year was
quite important. But on cOmpar.
ing sales billed in the third guar
ter with those billed in the sec
Ond, we find that the total for
the two companies declined 1S
per cent this year, while in each
Of the past three years there has
been an increase in the COM
bined bookings of the two CON-
panies for the third quarter.
Looking ahead, there Is rea-
son to believe that operations
in the electrical equipment in
dustry must be curtailed dur.
ing the next six months. Resi-
Dental building Is already
sharply reduced. Commercial.
industrial, and utility cOnStruc-
tiOn are now facing q decline.
Some improvement may soon
appear in residential building,
but any increase in demand for
electrical goods from this source
will be more than offset by
poorer demand from other types
for some months. Purchases of
household appliances cannot be
expected to show material I'm
provement until employment
conditions are definitely on the
mend.
The consistent and high rate
Of increase in use of electrical
energy over the past few years
made it necessary for the pub
lie utilities to carry on an ex-
panSiOn program designed to
take care of a rapidly increas-
ing load. The high rate Of con-
StructiOn maintained SO far this
year in the utility field indi-
Gates that the programs mapped
out prior to the business depres-
sion were carried through. Now
that the increase in cOnSump.
ton of electrical energy has dis
tinctly slowed up, IL is but nat
ural that public utility cOnstruc.
tiOn has pretty well caught up.
As stated above, we expect a
slowing up in this type Of con-
structiOn.
Railway electrification pro-
jects are likely to be delayed
until traffic and earnings i'm
prove. The railroads will not
be anxious to rush through large
projects requiring millions Of
dollars Of expenditures with
traffic the smallest in 10 years
and with earnings so drasticalIy
reduced that in many cases COM
mon dividends are in jeopardy"
