KUs|LOF EOX FARMER HAS NARRDW ESCAPE.
 FROM BR0N|N DEAP

Pete Madsen, fox farmer of the Kuslof district, is reported to have had very narrow escape from death recently while hunting bears with Ed Lovdahl in the vicinity of Policy Creek, reports the Anchorage Times. MadSen and Lovdahl had shot at what they thought was a black bear, partially concealed in a thicket of alderS, and they were taken considerably by surprise when a big brownie, angered by 3 bullet wound, emerged from the thicket and charged them. Both men took to their heels but Madsen ripped and fell directly in the path of the infuriated bear. The brownie attacked Madsen without ceremony and undoubtedly would have Killed him had not Lovdahl gone to the rescue, at no small risk to himself. From a position not more than seven feet distant, he sent a bullet into the head of the bear, drop ped him before he could do any more damage.
 Madsen was taken to Snug Har- bor for treatment and returned to his Kusilof home in the M S Dis coverer. He escaped serious injury but he will carry the marks of the encounter for a long time.

GAS MAINS IN
D. {. JAN. |

Patrons of the Washington
Gas Light Company will be
furnished with natural gas by
the first of the year, according
to announcement made today at
the offices of the utility.
The 2O-inch mains have now
been laid to within three miles
of Rockville, the installation crews
continuing to make excellent
daily showings.
Natural gas which is to be
consumed locally will be brought
from the fields of eastern
Kentucky and West Virginia, 500
miles away. The branch main
to- Rockville, however, is being
brought from Coatesville, Pa, a
distance Of 100 miles. ....,
Engineers in charge Of the
routing and laying Of the big
mains have overcome stupendous
obstacles in bringing the pipes
across mountain ranges and
rivers. Each section of pipe is
welded, as it Is laid, the whole
forming a continuous unbroken
connection with field to local
distributing plants.

Sharp Recessions Over
The next point that impresses
me is that we have probably
passed through the panic stage
OF the cycle and have seen the
last Of the very sharp recession.
Judging by the past, we may
now expect dullness and irregu-
larity. Business is not going to
start upward soon Cor If it should,
it would suffer another setback .
But If we viii let prices and pro-
duction alone, sterilization will
soon develop and that be followed
in due course by recovery.
On the one hand, industrial
production has now been cut to
about 25 per cent below normal" !"
Mercantile inventories are very
moderate. On the other hand,
consumers are gradually using up
clothing, buildings, automobiles,
etc. And at the same time, saw
ings are accommodating, so that
when consumers must buy again,
many will have the means. Qn-
cidentally, we note that many
millions are being released from
Christmas savings funds). AL
these things are quietly working
to bring business revival.
Many Favorable Factors
Finally, a number Of favorable
symptoms can be pointed out
Department stores have held UP
well. Cotton textile manufactur'
ing has shown improvement
Wholesale dry goods sales gained
in October. Orders for new
freight cars have been placed by
the railways in good volume
Structural steel awards continue
fair, and some sections report
improvement in residential build.
ing. The early bringing out OF
new models by one or two auto.
mobile manufacturers indicates
hopefulness and has brought some
gafAS in employment and steel
demand.
Business Is not nearly as bad
as it could be, and I am hopeful
that by spring everyone will be
looking ahead to the coming good
! times.

BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University Bureau
of Business Research and FormeE
Economist of Federal Traoe
Commission

Frankly and without any arti-
ficial optimism, let US examine
the more favorable side OF the
business situation. There Is a
good deal to be thankful for in
the real facts. -.
In the first place, the credit
situation as a whole Is by no
means bad. This is very differ
ent from conditions in such de-
pressions as occurred in 1893 and
1907. The Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn is strong, with its gold re-
serve large and increasing, and
the reserve ratio up to 8l.4 per
cent against 7I.8 per cent a
year ago). It now has able
leadership.
Members Improve
The condition of the member
banks, while not perfect, is I'M
proved. Their liability on &C
count Of stock market loans has
been greatly reduced. Brokers
4OcsG4o d1C AOW. GNCn GOtS4 IVA
lateral loans are now being re
duced. The member banks are
borrowing at the reserve less
than one quarter as much as q
year ago. Direct bank loans on
securities are still pretty large
and total loans and investments
are more than 8 per cent above
total deposits, but these condi
tions are being corrected.
The numerous failures Of West
ern banks and some of the forced
mergers" may be considered as
wedding out the weak ones ano
establishing a stronger position.
The general soundnesS of bank
credit has some bearing on com
modify prices. These seem to be
approaching stability in So far as
the basic raw materials are con
cerned. 1t is really quite notable
that few, If any, such commodi
ties are making new lows. While
some articles, mostly manufac
lures, still seem out Of line, such
things as cotton, copper, rubber
sugar, silk, zinc, wheat and corn
seem to have hit bottom.
It can be said, too, that con
siderable progress has been made

Peace Conference Between
Huge Railroad Organizations
Ends in Definite Break
The Eastern railroad executives
conference to divide the

The Eastern railroad executives
peace" conference to divide the
systems east of the Mississippi
into four trunk lines and end
their battle of millions has
broken up, The washington Times
learned today.
One of the larger systems has
refused to continue negotiations
and the conference has been in
definitely postponed. This comes
right on the heels of widely cir
culated reports in the last few
days that an agreement had been
reached and would be submitted
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for approval.
The 7. G. G. about two years
ago attempted to solve the East
ern railroad fight and drew up a
tentative plan dividing the East
ern roads into five trunk lines.
The five systems were to be the
Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake
and Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York Central and Wabash. The
Chesapeake is the Van Sweringen
brothers Of Cleveland system.
Atterbury Blamed
The Wabash, now controlled by
the Pennsy, was the fifth trunk
line. It's creation is being fought
by the Van Sweringens and the
B. g. 0. with some help from the
New York Central. The Pennsyl-
vania, bitter foe Of the Van Swer-
ingen and the B. & O., has been
in sympathy with the plan.
The Pennsylvania is understood
to be the road that refused to
carry the negotiations for a four
line trunk plan any further.
Gen. william Wallace Atterbury,
the Pennsy's aggressive president,
is the individual blamed most
for the break UP Of the confer
ence. One Eastern executive is
reported to have said:
"As long as AtteFbury is head
Of the Pennsylvania there Will
never be any agreement on . .
four trunk hne."
PennSy Holding
In proposing the creation Of a
fifth trunk line around the
Wabash, the I. C. C.. urged combi-
nation of the Wabash, Lehigh
Valley, Pittsburgh & West Vir-
ginia, Wheeling & Lake Erie, Sea-
board Air Line, the old Ford line,
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton and
the Western Maryland. The
Wabash, Lehigh and Pittsburgh
g. West Virginia are controlled
by the Pennsylvania or interests
affiliated with it. These same
interests have a large stock hold
ings of Seaboard.
The Western Maryland is con-
trolled by the B. & O., which has
refused to relinquish it's hold. The
Wheeling & Lake Erie is con-
trolled by the Van Sweringens
and they want to add the Pitts
burgh & West Virginia. The New
York Central would like either
the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western or the Lehigh. Interests
friendly to the Central virtually
control the Lackawanna..
In addition to its stake on the
Eastern systems, the Pennsy, its
bankers and affiliates are about
the largest stockholders In the
New England roads.

Mail = Order Sales

Announcement that Montgom-
cry Ward sales for November
were 24.9 per cent below the
same month last year makes the
recent move in the. stock look
odd, especially since the COM
pany ran at a big loss in the
first nine months Of the year.
Earnings at present are. running
in the black, according to Presi-
dent Strawn, but the company
has long way to go to break
even for year. It seems unlikely
that sales of Montgomery Ward
or any of the other mail order
houses will show any decided up
turn for q few months. In view
of this, believe there is plenty
of time to buy the stock with a
good chance Of getting it lower.
