Industrial Expansion
 Continues
Forward Business Trend Is Definite Wages
 Increasing

NEW YORK, June 2.-Continued industrial expansion is reported to- day in the weekly review of Dunn Bradstreet.
 The forward swing rests on a definite upward trend in consump- tion and employment, and also wage levels the importance of which is not fully realized as yet, as the transition had been such a sudden one and constructive de- velopments have been so rapid.
 Further stimulus to the upward movement was provided by general support of the Administrations s sweeping industrial recovery meas ures which open the way for the conduct of business on reason able earning basis and growing appreciation of the importance of sound credit practices in commerce and industry.
 Wage scales have increased now nearly twenty percent. Prices of farm products have increased dur ing the past two months and opened a new source of spending power which was not even faintly discernible six months ago.
 Both retail and wholesale buying continues to improve"

JUDGE NETERER
 QUITS AFTER 2S
 YEARS SERVICE
Jurist Hopes to Try Only Admiralty Cases
 Tn Future

SEATTLE, June 2.-After twenty eight years on the bench, Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer has for mally retired.
 But his retirement will mean no cessation of work, for he will car " on the full duties of district judge until his successor is ap- pointed and qualified.
 In a telegram sent to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Judge Net erar informed the chief executive that he is taking advantage of the retirement privilege rather than resigning, so that he may continue to hold court when his services are needed.
 Explains Action
 He explained to his friends that he desires eventually to try ad- miralty cases. and to accept such other assignments as he may wish.
 But after the new judge is ap- pointed, I shall try no more of the current criminal cases-I've had enough of them in my years on the bench" Judge Neterer said
 Court records show that during the seven months from September ], 1892, to April l, 1893, Judge Neterer disposed of $40 cases, not including bankruptcy and natural ization. He passed 666 criminal sentences during the period, the big majority of them for violations Of the prohibition law.
 Tries May Cases
 This tremendous amount of work was accomplished despite the fact that during the seven months he was absent from Seattle for nearly two months, holding court in other jurisdictions
 Judge Neterer was appointed to the federal bench in 1913 by PreSi- dent Wilson. He was superior judge in Whatcom County eight years be- fore that.
 He has been eligible for retire ment on full pay since January "A. 1892, when he reached his seven- tieth birthday.
 Word of Judge Neterer's retire ment heightened activity in politi- cal circles among aspirants for the vacancy. Among candidates either active or receptive are Superior Judges Clay Allen and Calvin s. Hall, Attorney John c. Bowen, Ben L. Moore, referee in bankruptcy; w. H. Pemberton, Fred w. Cat lett, John Binns and Lloyd Black.

cross IN this way were missionary
pioneers. DR.. Marcus Whitman 3
physician and Rev. Henry H. Spald-
ing with their wives, crossed to Ore
gOn IN 1886, sent out by the Ameri-
can Board of Missions to convert the
Indians. Most Of the fur traders and
missionaries had gone to Oregon bv
sailing vessels around the horn. But
In 1843, due to the activities of DR.
Whitman, who had returned east ov-

across the plains, and each spring
and summer would find fleet of
covered wagons moving west to set

THE MORMON EXEDUS

In 1847, Brigham Young and the
twelve apostles with a band of LAT,
set out for the west. Crossing the
plains and the mountains they looked
down upon the magnificent valley to
the south of Great Salt Lake, and
they chose the valley for their settle
nent, and selected the site for their
Temple and laid out Salt Lake City
setting up the Estate of Deseret'' in
territory then a part of Mexico. The
territory became a part of the United
States by cession in 1848. The
Mormon colony grew rapidly, those
remaining in Iowa and Nebraska fol
lowed the pioneers, and it became an
oasis in the great western desert
The l848 wagon caravans to Oregon
crossed the Mormon trail, also mark
ed by bones and graves.
