The Fish Greek dredge of the Tanana Valley Gold Dredging Co., has been running for some time. 1t
 started 20 days earlier than last season and the early start coupled
 with the fact that there is a large area of thawed ground, makes the

BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, January 4.-The first
week Of the new year on the New York
Stock Exchange closed today with the
general movement of prices upward.
Final quotations disclosed a rather long
list of net gains ranging from to 5
points, interspersed with a number of
declines, most Of which were fractional
Trading showed a marked expansion
In volume, sales for the two-hour Ses-
sion totaling 1883, 700 shares as con-
trasted with 893, 500 shares in the first
two hours yesterday.
Technical Recovery.
There was practically nothing in the
days business news to influence the
price movement. such trade reports as
came to hand merely confirming what
already had been known. Today's rally
was characterized by many observers
as a technical recovery after the sharp
decline caused earlier in the week by
the heavy volume of selling for income
tax purposes.
Motors went through the usual
window dressing" coincident with the
opening of the New York automobile
show, but the demonstration lacked the
vigor of those of the past few years.
Hudson and Nash each showed net
gains of more than points and Mack
General Motors, which we're turned
over in rather large volume, showed
only fractional gains.
Coppers showed signs of increasing
activity and strength as the session
closed in expectation that consumers,
who appear to have adopted a hand
to-mouth' buying policy in recent
months. will shortly be forced to enter
the market on large scale. Anaconda,
Kennecott and Smelling advanced
from / to nearly 2 points.
Leaders in Advance.
Allied Chemical, Industrial Rayon
and Otis Elevator closed 5 points
higher, Pacific Lighting and Louisville
&c Nashville, 434 each; McKeesport Tin
Plate, 3L4; Auburn Auto, 3. and West
inghouse Electric, Standard Gas 81
Electric. Hershey Chocolate, Motor
Products, International Mercantile
Marine, ]. I. Case. National Biscuit
and S. H. Kress all showed net gains
of points or more.
Foreign exchange trading was quiet,
with most Of the European currencies
displaying an easier undertone. Sterling
cables were quoted around $487 9-16.
Recurrent weakness developed in the
Chinese and Argentine exchanges.

BACK FROM THE SHADES

THE K. H. S. Broadcaster
has. in this issue, taken
a new lease on life. Designed
primarily to take the place OF
a school paper, this depart
ment of the ourier-Reporter
has suffered of late through
lack of interest and the inter
ference of other school actlv-
tiles.
Broadcaster is reviving again.
1t serves not only as bulletin
of school news, but as a chan
mel for the budding literary
desires of the high school stu
dents. In this capacity it has
its place i'm this paper, whose
aim is to serve the whole COM
munity.
Now that the senior play
has rolled off the shoulders
of the class, there are bright
prospects for the Broadcaster
not only equalling but sur
passing it's former quality:
We hope that the students will
realize the opportunity afford
ed i'm their department to
make of it that which will re-
fleet adequately the life and
spirit of the Kennewick high
school.

THE BEST PLACE
ON EARTH
Sue Core

Probably one of the most laud-
able of all human characteristics
is that optimistic loyalty to ones
own home territory which will per-
NIT of no adverse criticism of Ii
by any outsider. 1t is this loyal at
tachment to personal hearthstones
which booms the real estate BUSH
ness and settles new territories
with folks who have not yet be-
come imbued with that one partic-
ular phase of patriotism. Further
more, lauding the virtues of our
own home section and throwing
slurs at that of the other fellow
comes as natural to most of us as
breathing.
No matter how much we per-
sonally may malign the climatic
conditions Of our. own respective
Vermont, Tennessee or Missouri,
a few caustic remarks on the same
subject by a Nebraska man will
precipitate wordy conflagration
through the glow of which the eli
mate in question will assume a
desirability second only to con-
versation between a Hub City-ite
and a Native Son. One wonders
that Providence could have
placed two such Meccas in the
same hemisphere; but at the same
time more than likely entertains
a SNUG pity for them both because
they have never known the joys
of living in Indiana!
During a recent trip by train
across one Of the scenically beau
tiful mountain sections of our
country, the conversation among a
little group on the observation
platform one afternoon gravitated
quite naturally to that of desirable
places to live. Among those pres
ent were a merchant from Chica-
go, a banker from Portland, Ore
gon, pugnaciously patriotic lady
from Seattle who had been lured
to a Florida which had failed to
meet her expectations, and a real
estate broker from Los Angeles.
The discussion changed rapidly
from one Of occasional desultory

about their own concerns: It
! makes us not only a United
States but a united people.
Every time we sing "The Star
| Spangled Banner" we feel
moved and lifted up by the
/ force of the thousands OF
others who share our common
traditions.
There is no mystery about
lit. A simple psychological phe-
Inomenon, practiced shameless
" by men who SWAY crowds.
But it has it's value as a tie
that binds us together as
Americans. 4

of the listeners-in.

fact that they decide nothing and
usually leave the active partici.
pants suffering from a virulent at.
tack of mental eczema, which leave;
ugly red scars in its wake more
often than not, / was brought back
to consciousness by the booming
voice of the man from Portland.
He was addressing Sam, a port
lily, white-coated aristocrat OF the
Told South, who had been the So
fictitious guardian of our comfor'
during the past few days. He had
been standing aside for a time
listening to the friendly word wal
being waged among his patrons
with an expansive grin on his eb
| ony countenance. He jerked to ac
commodating attention when the
Portland man, turning toward hin
land blowing cloud of cigar smoke
upward, demanded facetiously
How about it, Sam? Now, you've
been to all these places we've beer
talking about, so you settle thu
argument. Which place would yot
consider the best place Of all ?"
Sam had in him the makings Of
Ia diplomat, who under happier cir
cumstances might even have sur
vived tenure of office as me
diator in Latin American disturb
ances. His shiny, good-natured fact
assumed an intently serious ex
preston, which gradually changed
to one of usefulness as he glanced
back inwardly at the high light;
of we know not what humble mem
cries of happy days elsewhere
while the entire group waited tx

Gradually the puzzled crease il
his forehead smoothed away and 9
ripple of wide, white-toothed GOOD

as he answered slowly in the pic.
