its first serious bank failure people became panic
stricken. It is an isolated State, especially as a
travel land. It is largely rural, with the excep-
ton Of the North or Panhandle, where the largest
silver-lead mines in the world are located.
Since the New Deal many Of these mines have
resumed operation, with about SO per cent Of the
men once employed The attitude of mining men
in the State has assumed healthy, optimistic
tone. There is something of boom in the placer
fields-in fact, all gold properties are looking up.
The increase in the price of wool made 1t
possible for many Of the wool growers to pay off
the interest and some of the principal to their
banks and the r. F. G. The cattle men, however,
have not Jared so well.
The only other industry with an important
payroll is lumber. Idaho has the largest stand of
white pine in the United States, the second
largest Of yellow. Lumber mills which were
suspended are opening up and large per cent
of the men are returning with double pay. There
are no labor troubles in the State.
FARMERS who have not Jared we'll, are looking
forward to better times. This year the farmer
is taking advantage of the general feeling against
mortgage companies and many loan companies
regard farm loans as hazard.
Merchants are feeling an increase in business
Women are buying new clothes The women in
this section-and all through the West and
Middle-Wes West-dress much better than the men
do.
Golf and tennis are popular in idaho. There
are municipal tennis courts throughout the State

are twilight leagues"
Furniture is bought in Idaho only when it
wears out. There is attempt to be in style. The
greatest improvements, lately, have been in the
kitchens, where electric labor-saving devices are
appearing.

helped some cases their pay doubled and
their hours cut in half. One grocery chains
payroll was increased $1,000 monthly and gro
Gerry clerks are getting twice what they were.
Employers are surprised to find that workers
who dragged through 10 or IL hours day for
as little as ST a week have snapped into their
jobs, accomplishing just as much in hours.
TTTAH is an area peculiar even in prosperous
- times. Salt Lake, the only large city between
Denver and the coast, is the hub of this inter-
mountain wheel. Mining is the chief source of
industry with sheep and wool, cattle and poultry
raising and agriculture following.
The average Utah citizen lives well because
foodstuffs are cheaper than nearly any place else
in the country. But during depression thousands
of families were cut down on food and 10000
were on relief agencies. This number has dimin-
ished with each succeeding week.
Women are buying clothes in Utah. They are
paying higher prices and feel they are through
with shoddy bargains.

0NHE West offers interesting contrasts in its
acceptance Of the New Deal, ranging from
only slight lifting of depression in some of
the more isolated sections to actual boom times
In some widely separated towns and cities. =.
Good roads and bad roads. And automobiles
actually selling at premium. Grocery clerks
with 50 per cent wage boost. Folks with more
money than they have had in years. Actual labor
shortage. And, in contrast, regions with little, if
any Improvement. In the aggregate, however,
the West is feeling decided and important i'm
provements in living conditions.
Dallas, Texas, has become quite emotional over
the New Deal People who have been boarding
are beginning to spend-but certain members of
the white-collar class, frightened by the expert
snces OF the past years, have suddenly learned
thriftiness.
Factories are working on anticipated orders,
and this means money for factory hands. But the
middle-class must buy or vast surplus will be
created, especially in women's apparel, which
will necessitate shutdown.
BECAUSE of new factory jobs real estate has
improved, though whte-collar men are look
ing for cheaper homes.
To the mill and factory workers the New
Deal has meant new day. Even in boom times
many were unable to earn the salaries they are
getting now. Nightclubs and dance-halls are
opening and motion picture theatres are doing
WELL
DallaS is enjoying sports. Inere are three
municipal golf courses with as many as 75O play
ing one course on holiday. Municipal swimming
pools, parks and tennis courts are popular and
there are supervised wading pools for the
children
People are beginning to read more and better
books in Dallas The Carnegie Library has taken
on new employees and has opened two new
branches.
Automobile sales have doubled there. And
because of higher salaries small new cars are in
such demand that they actually are carrying
premiums of $50.
People in Texas usually buy furniture only
when new house is built or when they go house
Keeping. They replace pieces only when neces-
sary. They like Colonial reproductions, oak and
walnut. Tapestry suites are in demand. Furniture
sales are increasing but prices are still low.
Ell Paso the biggest border city and the me.
tropolis of the nations mining and cattle empire
has not felt the effects of recovery as much as
Dallas. Isolated in the desert hundreds of miles
from other large cities, it Is more self-contained
than most other communities.
NEW business is just beginning to get better.
d Persons with money in safety deposit boxes
are spending it, confident that the worst is over.
The automobile business, especially in small
cars, is thriving in Ell Paso. And secondhand cars
are in such demand that dealers are offering
cash for them, instead of requiring them to be
brought into trade.

Ir Oregon, even during depression, the
farmers were well-fed.
Barter was introduced in small Oregon towns
and many a farmers wife traded eggs for sugar
and coffee, dried prunes for dentistry and
dressed hens for drugs. In larger cities food was
more of a problem, though there were few
families who did not raise enough chickens to
supply the family with eggs and fricassee for
Sunday dinner.
ALTHOUGH these people did not suffer for
- food, there has been no money for clothes.
Automobiles were used sparingly-or not
even licensed. Now licenses have been reduced
in price. But the high price of gas is holding
down the automobile traffic.
The roads in the State have been kept in good
condition and many highways have been widened
and improved by crews doing county relief work.
The regular work, as carried ON by the State
Highway Commission, which had been curtailed
for year, has been resumed.
Portland was the first city in the Northwest
to have real labor shortage. Such thing hadn't
happened since 1929. Large industries manu-
featuring millinery, leather coats, waxed paper
products and patterns, petitioned for exemption
to the code forbidding employees to work more
than IS hours. They will have to work their
men overtime to keep up with the rush of busi-
ness because all unemployment in their lines has
been absorbed
Every firm in Portland reports improvement
in business under NRA. Candies, tobacco, sodas,
the smaller luxuries, are selling now. Statesmen
of motor oils are happy over larger commissions.
Difficulties have been met in complying with
the various codes, most Of which have been
ironed out. The greatest seeming injustice is the
way the code is affecting the lumber business. A
single mill in Kalama with enough orders ahead
to keep working full time had to reduce to 30
hours each week, while lumber mill in Coos
Bay, working two shifts to fill orders, was forced
to lay off 500 men to keep within the code.
Freight business has increased because of the
lumber business and the legalizing of beer.
Fifty thousand people worked harvesting the
Oregon hop crop. Prices were 80 per cent higher
than last year, making it possible for girls and
boys of high school age to make So day, enough
in the seasons work to outfit themselves for
school. One hundred thousand bales of, hops
bring six to seven millions into the State.
Until October, 1882, when Nevada was the first
State to declare a Statewide bank holiday
it was Reno's boast that it had not begun to feel
the depression. However, Reno's situation was
unique in the State, for it's prosperity was largely
dependent on outside wealth from tourists and

On the whole, conditions
in Utah are improving. The
mines, however, are shll func-
tioning at q low level and real
prosperity cannot return until
they quicken pace. This
should come as q result of
improvement in the Eastern
financial and industrial fields,
which means demand for mine
products.
Salt Lake did not feel the
depression until a year after
it struck the East and it prob
ably will be that far behind
in complete recovery. But

United States last year was the
smallest since 1880 and the first year
in more than century in which cities

predicted, the United States may have
a population of only 13O,OOO,OOO and
may show only slight increase there
after.
Rural population increased during
the last year due largely to the de-
preston, the report stated, but city
population declined possibly as much
as 100000, it was estimated. The ma
tons population increased 10000 last
year, the report showed, decrease Of

has been a decline of go per cent. If
the growth continues at about 100000

Taxpayer Runs Afoul of the
French Bureaucracy.

Paris.-This is a sad story of tax
payer caught in the intricate net of
the French bureaucracy. Besides the
taxpayer it involves the sum of five
cents and tax collector poor at
arithmetic.
M. Lesueur is Paris dealer in hides
and leather. On May 8, 1882, he paid
his taxes, including a tax of 70 francs,
about So, which the government i'm
poses for each apprentice hired by
business houses. Having duly paid all
asked of him. NJ Lesueur thought he
was through for 1882, but he was soon
to learn that he had only begun.
In January of this year M. Lesueur's
firm was notified that the 70 franc tax
had been imposed in error and would
be refunded, and the refund was made
at once. Then another official got
hold of M. Lesueur's tax bill and de-
cided that the 70 francs should have
been paid after all, so he invited M.
Lesueur to pay it again, which he
did.
But early this month tax official
number three entered the scene. Dis
covering that 70 francs imposed in
May, 1882, had been paid this year, he
fined NJ. Lesueur for being late witch
his taxes. Having suffered a dozen
annoyances because of his good in
tentions, NJ Lesueur decided to un-
dergo one more, and he resignedly
agreed to pay the fine.
For reasons best known to the tax
collector, the fine was calculated at
10 per cent of IA francs, 40 centimes,
but at this point the arithmetic en-
tered. Instead Of demanding / franc
IA centimes, the tax collector asked

Wyoming Indians Given
Buffalo Meat for Food

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.-From near
extinction to such numbers that In
dams and relief agencies have been
donated surplus animals for their meat
supply, is the history of the Yellow
stone park buffalo herd, now totaling
more than 1000 animals
In 1902 official figures listed but
1,676 buffalo in the world. Emerson
Hough, after winter inspection trip,
said there we're but % Of the animals
in the park. That year funds were
obtained for establishment of a pro-
tected herd, and by 1925 there were
764 buffalo in the park.
Careful feeding, strict enforcement
Of protective rules, and even VAGINA
lions were required to develop the
herd. In 1912, 1919, and 1922 blood
poisoning disease threatened to wipe
out the herd, but vaccinations counter
acted the epidemic, and since that
time no serious outbreaks have taken
place.
