BUSINESS ORDERLY
IN DALLAS AREA
Reserve Board Report Shows
important Readjustments
in Financial Quarters.
epecial Dispatch to The Star.


DALLAS, Tex. February 6.-Orderly
establishments in finance, business and
Industry we're the outstanding develop
nlents in the eleventh Federal Reserve
district during December. Most notable
among the establishments was the one
in financial quarters. Member bank
borrowings at the Federal Reserve Bank,
which during the current year reached
the highest point since 1922. we're
reduced from S30,876816 on November
30 to S13.290,916 on December 81.
While there was a temporary in
crease after the turn of the year. Fed
eral Reserve Bank loans had fallen to
Sl2.943,005 on January Is, and on that
cate were $7,353.579 less than on the
same date in 1929. The high level of
these loans during the Fall months,
which consisted principally of borrow
1ngs of Reserve city banks, resulted
from the cumulative effects of financial
developments in Eastern markets.
THE easing of money rates in these
centerS, the increased demand for COM
nlercial paper and bankers acceptances
and the improved bond market enabled
these banks to rearrange their port
folioS. to reduce their indebtedness at
the Federal Reserve Bank and to place
themselves in a position to meet the
normal demands for credit during the
coming year. 1t must be borne in
mind. however. that member bank de-
posts reflected a further slight decline
in December and were considerably
smaller than a year ago.
There was further curtailment of
production in the districts industries
to prevent the accumulation of stocks
and to make possible better alignment
between demand and output. The VOL
,F
denced by the valuation of building
permits issued at principal cities, was
larger than in November. but was con-
siderably below December last year.

Representative Gable remarked, lit is

Francis I. Jones, director of the pres

planned that while it has offices in 80

represent donated and causal aid to
its functions.
Community organizations, such AS
chambers of commerce and occasionally
city governments, associate with our
regular staff in extending the service
we are now able to Offer Mr.. Jones
said.
To illustrate what the new bills would
do. 1t might be said that our appropria-
tons for the employment service during
the coming fiscal year to maintain the
present form of aid will be 1896, 900.
while some of the new bills propose to
appropriate $4,000,0 900 for the first year
of operation of an expanded service.
There has been some decrease of I'M
employment during recent weeks and
it is probable that the low point for
most industrial pay rolls was reached
in December. Nevertheless. the number
of people out of work is probably greater
this season than during recent years,
and all of this new legislation is in
tended to equip the Federal Govern
ment with additional means of better
ing conditions.
Now that Charles Evans Hughes re-
turns to the Supreme Court bench,
from which he stepped in 1916 to be-
come a. presidential candidate, there
will be much scanning of old decisions
for evidence as to what may be his
bent in viewing new problems of bust
ness and politics that will again be laid
before him. Mr. Justice Hughes wrote
a number of weighty opinions for the
court between 1910 and 1916 and sew

Golden said. "Of this number. about
500 are in Europe. 400 in the Far East

Several European countries have at
tempted to restrict by legislation the
showing of American films to their ma
tionals, but Mr.. Golden considers that
the experiences of 1929 with these poll
cies have demonstrated that they are
relatively Intellectual in limiting the
film exports from this country. He does
not expect to see the foreign campaign

ROAD OILING TO
TO BEGUN SOON
Valley Road to Finley to Have
Modern Dustiess Surfacing
Pay with Gas Tax

Delayed for various reasons, the
oiling of the valley road will be
undertaken soon, bids for which
are being called in this issue of
The Courier-Reporter. County
Commissioner H. S.. Hughes today
stated that the work would be un-
dertaken and completed during
August.
Mr.. Hughes says the new work
will include the main highway from
the city limits southeasterly to the
crossing just east of the Finley
store, a distance of seven and a
half miles, and continuation of the
oiled road west of town to the Ka-
dow corner at the top of the hill,
a distance of about three quarters
of a mile.
The original plans included oil
ing on the Highlands to the bridge
crossing the canal on the Plymouth
road, more than a mile further.
Owing to the inability to secure the
additional right of way along one
side of the present road to make
it of the required width, and also
owing to the fact that some of the
Highland water pipes are laid too
close this portion of the work will
have to be delayed.
Several thousand dollars have
been spent this summer by the
county on the valley road, in buy
ing right of way for the rounded
corners, new grading, moving of
fences and so forth. The county
road funds have also been used to
make one or two fills thru low por-
tions of the road. The long fill
just south of the Hamlet place will
be included in the contract soon to
be let.
The road will be oiled 10 feet of
the 24-foot roadbed. Drains will
be laid at all crossings and farm
entrances.
The money for this Improvement
is this districts portion of the
farm-to-market money being raised
by the state with its additional
one cent per gallon tax on gaso-
line. This fund will add $43,7 ZOO to
the road money for Benton county
this year.

NEWS COLUMNS
Sunday Papers Tell About
Highlands Development
To Start Soon r..

The Sunday Associated Press
carried the following news item:
With 100000 available and
$4,000 to be ready for use on
July 1, indications are that more
than 5000 acres of land in the
Yakima valley will be reclaimed
this year and ready for produc-
tion by 1881. Of this number, near
ly 1900 acres are in the Kenne-
wick Highland district which will
be rehabilitated and provided with
sufficient water to insure crops
from failure. Six thousand acres
are in the Status pumping unit on
the Yakima Indian reservation.
Work Near Redy
With the willingness of the state
to assist the Kennewick district
in refunding its 100000 bond debt
and the deciding of the Prosser
dam site and right of way for a
power canal to the federal govern
ment, work is expected to start
soon in the Kennewick district. Ad-
ditional water will be pumped to
the acreage on higher land by
means of a power and pumping
plant to be built.
The Status unit of 5000 acres is
south and west of the Toppenish
unit of the reservation or Wapato
project. Of this land, $500 acres
are under part flood water reclaim
alton. Estimates on productivity
of the land involved are between
$50 and $50 gross an acre.
To Pump Water
Water to be used for reclaming
land under the new unit will be
drainage water taken from the
canal and from Toppenish creek.
The pumping station will pump
water from Toppenish creek. This
will be the second pumping unit
to be established on the Wapato
project, the other being in the
north central part of the reserva-
ton, where it furnishes water for
10000 acres.
Work is also to start soon on
surveys and investigations of ten
tative plans for increasing the wa
ter supply of the Ahtanum pro-
ject with water from the Klicki-
tat river. The government has ap-
propriated $4,000 for this work.
The Ahtanum project, if found
feasible, will involve tunneling for
seven miles through the divide.
A number of miles of canal will be
constructed and some storage ar
rangements may be necessary.
