Amos Burg Sails Through
Straits Of Magellan Alone

Amos Burg, who will be remembered
by many White Bluffs inhabitants as
the boy who came down from the
headwaters of the Columbia in a tiny
canoe named the Song of the Winds,
has completed another of his perilous
voyages.
In a leased wire report in the daily
papers, it is stated that Burg had
sailed his 26-foot rebuilt yacht through
the Straits of Magellan safely. Veter-
an explorers told him that it would be
suicide" if he were to attempt the trip
around the Horn in so small a ship
alone "But if anyone could get through
I guess it would be Amos" his mother
said. And that is an opinion that will
be shared by many here who were
amazed and delighted ten years ago
when he landed at Henry Alards
place and spent several days here, re-
calling acquaintance with tales of his
trip from the Canadian interior.
Burg is now on trip for the Ma
tional Geographic society of Washing
ton, D. c., and is now in Terra del
Fuego, one of the few inhabited spots
on the southernmost tip OF South
America He plans to study the Gus
toms, language and daily life of little
civilized Indians who have carried the
secrets of their tribes high into the
mountain Businesses of the island. The
race is said to be fast dying out.
Burg left Portland last fall and !!
expected to return in July. Five year,
ago he made q second trip down tn
Columbia, accompanied by membe'
of the faculty of the University o
Oregon. Still very young man, HI
has made number of exploration
under the aegis of the Geographic
one of his articles being featured II
the magazines latest issue. He has ais
worked for newsreel companies.

Bank Reopens;
40 Per Cent Is
Now Available
DEPOSITS DURING YEAR OF RE-
STRICTION SHOW SUB
STANTIAL GAIN

The First Bank of White Bluffs was
re-opened this week, making available
to local people more than twelve thou
sand dollars.
The state supervisor OF banking
issued the license to reopen under
the provisions of the Washington bank
sterilization act Of March II, 1888. The
bank was closed for holiday declared
by Governor Martin on March 3, 1888,
followed by the holiday declared by
President Roosevelt.
w. j. Kincaid, cashier Of the bank,
took up plans for reorganization and
re-opening with the supervisor OF
banking last summer and plan was
proposed by the supervisor on Decem-
Der %, 1888.
Deposits available for withdrawal on
reopening this week were $12,830.55,
of which $4,000 are public funds de-
posted by the county treasurer. The
balance are funds Of local people or
of those having interests in the valley.
Cash on hand at the time of reopen
ing was $7,22760, and the market value
of bonds and warrants kept as assets
was $9,33242 Thus the bank has cash
or securities that could be immedia-
ately liquidated totaling $l6,56O.O2,
more than enough to cover deposit
liability of $12,83O.55. Bills receivable
were shown as $869458.
Bills receivable and other assets OF
the bank not shown on the bank state
ment on reopening were set aside in
trust to be liquidated and paid out
to depositors on the portion OF de-
posits waived. Depositors will be fur
nished certificate showing the am
cunt of their deposit that was waived
and set aside for future payment.
Trust funds deposited since the bank
holiday totaled $23,O84.33 on reopening.
This is an unusually large amount of
such funds coming in to a bank dur
ing it's period of operating under re-
strictions. The total Of local deposits
available on reopening, not including
public funds, is $10,333. Added to the
trust funds, this makes a total of
local deposits of $33,417 at the present
| time.
The total of local deposits at the
time of the bank holiday last March
was $32, $50, so that after setting aside
60 per cent of the deposits under re-
striction, the local funds are slightly
more than one year ago which, MIR.
Kincaid says, indicates an improved
condition in the valley.

increased prices for crops, according to
estimates by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics.
The gross income from agricultural
production last year was about So
O94,OO0,OOO, and farmers have received,
or will receive, rental and benefit pay
ments of approximately $4,000, 900
from the AAA for cooperation IN crop
adjustment programs during 1888. This
makes the gross income from produce
ton $6383 900 900. The 1882 gross in
come from production was $5,143 ,OOO,-

all groups of crops was more in 1913;
than in 1882 and, with the exception
of fruits and nuts, was larger than IL
1881.
The unusually low prices for live
stock products during the early month
of last year greatly reduced the 1913
income from these commodities, an
the Bureau says that present availabl
data on marketings and prices indicat
a gross income for 1888 only per cen
larger than in 1882, and 26 per cen
smaller than in 1881. Small increase
in income from meat animals and woo
were partly offset last year by de
creases in income from dairy and poul

Farm Rrecord Books Will
Provide Valuable Data

A specially designed farm record
book furnishing an easy way TOT grow
ers to assemble and keep information
on their farming operations has been
printed by the agricultural adjustment
administration and will soon be dis
tributed to all farmers who have signed
production adjustment contracts, &C
cording to word received from F. q.
Balmer, extension director, by y. Q.
Durdle, county agent. r. M. Turner,
extension economist, will head the pro-
ject.
The record books will serve as a
basis for information required in filling
out contract applications and proofs OF
compliance as well as helping the
farmer plan his crop production. They
will provide basic data of great value
in longtime planning for the agricul-
ture of the county and state as a
whole.
Forms for taking inventories of all
basic farm commodities at the begin
ming and end of each year, with the
farm values of the crops produced
are provided in the record books
Forms for keeping record OF crops
bought and sold; a crop production
summary, showing the usage OF land
and layout for crop-map of the
farm; crops processed for family food;
use of contracted acreage; and net in
come from production of crops, are
included.
While the new record book is espe-
cially adapted for obtaining informa-
ton necessary in contracts and for fu-
ture planning, it will also serve as q
basis for statistical reports and fol
applications for production loans from
the farm credit administration sale
Mr.. Turner. "The special record book
is not cost-account book, being pri-
marily for production and dispose
records of basic commodities. It is MOI
intended to supercede the complete
farm account books issued by the ex.
