NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The stock
market advanced today in the most
active trading since May 5, 1890
when the turnover was 8,279, $50
shares and paper values of various
quoted issues we're increased by Q
billion dollars.
The new high speed tickers-in-
augurated after the tremendous
markets Of 1929 and early 1890
we're swamped by the orders which
came into the market.
At one time they were running
ten minutes behind the actual floor
trading.
Group after group of stocks shot
forward. There was, of course,
pro1t-taking, but this served only
TO bring new buyers into the mar
llet. All stock offered was absorbed
easily.
Tickers Are Crowded
Around noon the tickers were
crowded and prices were at their
highs of the day.
Gains of five to more than six
points were made before noon by
such issues as Westinghouse Elec-
trio, Industrial Rayon, Union Car
bide and j. L. Case, while advances
Of one to more than three points
we're made by Auburn Auto, Radio
Corporation, Air Reduction, COlumb-
ian Carbon, Vanadium and Worth
ington Pump
The entire copper group moved
up sharply on expectation of an ad-
vance in the price Of copper metal.
Around noon Anaconda was at
ATS up 22s American Smelling SO,
up IL; CRANKY 229s, up 215; and
Kennecott 81, up l. Others gained
fractions to a point.
Utilities were strong with Amer
lean Telephone, Standard Gas.
American Water Works and Amer
lean and Foreign Power up to
more than points.
Change in Psychology
Buying was induced by further
reports of slight Improvement in
business conditions. a change in
market psychology and further
participation in the market by the
small traders.
There was no outstanding change
in the general business situation,
but the turn in market sentiment
was held to be of sufficient weight
to send prices upward on only
small improvement in industry.
Then, too, the expectation of adj
journment of congress without an
extra session was considered of i'm
portance as factor for the bullish
element.
Oil Shares Join Rise
Oil shares were attaining feature
proportions on the Stock Exchange
in the afternoon trading along with
a strong utility group.
Leading induStialS maintained a
fair portion of early substantial
gains; amusements eased off; rails
tirmed up from early declines: mo-
tors moved up l to points, but
Auburn lost its snap; motor equip
ments were up with auto shares;
coppers rose in early trading and
turned dull in the afternoon.
Leading induStrials maintained a
more than points, with Westing-
house the feature. Steel eased about
a point from its high of 1901. Ra-
dio was in good demand.
Special Issues on Upgrade
Sales volume was almost parallel
to that of May 5, 1890. when VOL
llme crossed the S0OO,O0O-share
mark. Sales by periods calculated
by the Stock Exchange compared
with May 5. 1880, as follows:

s.soo.ooo

The majority of the difference
was made in the first half hour
when sales we're $4,000 under the
day compared.
The contrast of today and May 5
is that the latter date represented
the end of a period of decline while
today the market was in the third
week of q rapid advance.
Special issues did more than the
leaders in points of gain. New York
& Harlem scared 1915 points to 227.
Houston Oil, spurted Az to 6815.

WASHINGTON MINE HAD ORE REVEALED
 BY ELECTRIC BOLT

The death of J. E. Yoder, 73-year old Alaskan argonaut and retired wealthy miner of Stevens county, removes one of the most colorful mining characters of Washington,
 according to the Denver Mining Record
 Yoder, who knew the lore of the mountain lodges and had roamed the placer camps of the far north and the gold Higgins" of the West without much success, finally had homesteaded in northern Washing ton. With a smattering knowledge of geology, whenever he could find any one who would listen to him he recited on rocks, especially gold rocks.
 He was destined to come into possession of riches from the rocks, but not from the yellow metal, and not from any prospecting skill. A blast brought him wealth from the mountain fastness, but not a dy- namite blast, but one from the heavans, a terrific bolt of lighning, which yankel a large fir tree from the ground like radish tore from it's garden bed.
 This happened when thunder storm in July of 1915 whipped the top of Gladstone mountain, Joseph Johnson, Swedish prospector cut ting wood in the region, stumbled across the fallen tree, and rubbed his eyes. The roots were studded with fragments of pure, shining galena, an ore of lead, and in the shallow excavation made by the torn roots the hole had the ap- pearance of ornamentation because of the abundance of rich ore.
 Then Yoder stumbled across Johnson and acquired a half in- terest. What he paid for it is not known, although it was believed to have been not more than $5,O00. He rang in his pal from Alaska gold hunting days, Roy A. Young, on a 50-50 basis in the interest, altho Yoder was believed to have paid for it all. Young was one man Yoder liked, and whether Young. had no coin to pay for the interest didn't bother Yoder.

is being taken in the growing OF
the beautiful than ever before.
1t is surprising how many people
go hundredssUf4 miles to see beauti-
full flowers and gardens. Those OF
us who live in the garden sections
of the country see literally thous-
ands of people each year make
journeys to the famous gardens and
many towns and cities are putting
forth more effort each year to
beautify their streets and properties
Home owners too, are taking more

all these things are what make life

People are truly becoming more

MOVING TO HIGHWAYS

Leaving the farm and moving to
the cities has been in progress on
a large scale for a number of years
and new movement is now in the
making.
These of you who have been
travelling the highways have no
ticed for some years the gradual
building up of farms along the
newly built highways and with the
easy transportation afforded by
buses, trucks and family automo-
biles right by the rightaway farm
doors, this movement to the high
ways is gaining momentum.
People are leaving the back
country farms for the highways
and people are leaving the towns
and cities for small highway farms.
In many sections, once sparsely
settled, homes are going up and
with rural electrification expand
ing the number Of these highway
homes will materially increase.
It is rather enticing to think OF
a nice home, in the open, with
passenger and freight service at
your doors, near enough to city
facilities and where one can still
farm, unmolested and free.
Businesses too are being built ur
on the highways and we predict
that before many years American
highways will be one continuous
main street.
