New York, Aug. z. (CP)-Actually
there is little ground for the extreme
passimism that is prevailing in the
stock market. Europe cannot under
stand it. There seems to be an effort
to paint business conditions worse
than they are. If there is real danger
in Europe, funds will be sent to the
United States for investment.
Except the railroads, the majority
Of large corporations are in splendid
condition financially. The summer
decline in trade really has not been so
bad as had been expected. Indeed, in
many lines, it has been better than
had been expected.
Considering that the drought has
curtailed an enormous amount Of pur~

Washington, Aug. 7 (AP)-A gigan-
.c crop control plan which would
leave control of 1885 supplies in the
hands of farmers who grow them is
Matching in the Farm Administration.
Modelled after this years corn and
cotton loans, the plan will call for gov
ernment loans on a wide range of 9TH
or crops There will be a stipulation
that supplies must be sold when pric-
es rise to a certain point
Last year the government advanced
farmers ten cents a pound on store
cotton and IS cents a bushel on corn
sealed IN cribs or warehouses. This
uegged prices at those levels and of
fi,as say the plan was a success.
As prices advanced beyond those
levels recently, farmers begon seE-
ing crops, paying off loans and MAX
inc profit for themselves. The far
mer was continuously assured of
those prices and the government was
sure of recouping IFS investment as
long as the prices stayed at or above
loan values. NyA&
In the case of cotton, the plan said
u must be sold when the price reached
l5 cents. This, officials said. prevents
the price from rising too far, since
II etlow to market when cotton
reaches that point will tend toward
sterilization.
The Farm administration declares
ne idea will assist farmers in holding
their crops instead of selling at har-
vest time, when marketings are ordi-

EMPLOYMENT OF LOCAL
 LABOR ON RIVER URGED

In anticipation of the prob- able early passage of the Di- mond bill for flood control on Salmon River at Hyder, the Hy- der Chamber of Commerce launched this week an effort to secure the employment of local labor in the event that the project is undertaken under the contract system, ina.ead of under the direct authority of the War Department Engin- eer's office.
 Those interested in the move- ment point out that in the event that the work is carried on under a contract, the con- tractor may import labor, to the exclusion of local laborers, who are seriously in need of employment.
 AS a first step in the cam paign to forestall such an eventuality, a communication has been addressed to James G. Truitt, associate engineer of the War Deparment Engin- eer's office, who surveyed and planned the project in it's pres ent form, urging him to c'2,op- crate in the effort to avoid it, if possible.

Morgenthau Urges Tax
 On Silver Spectators

The administration is very anxious to keep the proposed spectators tax" in the new silver bill now awaiting action by the senate, according to a statement made by secretary of the treasury William Mor- genthau to the House ways and means committee.
 Referring to the proposal to tax silver speculators 50 per cent of their profit, Morgen- thau explained that the levy was "just a profit tax on those who bougth and sold silver after the 18th of May, 1884.
 If the bill becomes a law, legitimate manufacturers of silver would be exempt and the only others to be affected are specula' CTS who would buy in Girect competition to the government. There is no reason why he (the speculator) should not pay the tax, Mor- genthau said. The secretary added that in his opinion the tax is a modest one.

Scientists Say Alaska
 Getting Slowly Warmer

That Alaska may at some far distant time rival Califor- mia in climate balminess is suggested in a recent an nouncement by Professor Rob- ert P. Griggs, of the George Washington University that the climate of Greenland is appar- ently growing colder while that of Alaska, on the opposite side of North America is growing warmer.
 As evidence that Alaska is growing warmer, Prof. Griggs said he found an advance of I.he forest line in the treeless tundra at a rate of one mile per century. This was the first forest since the glacial period, as no spruce pollen from former forests were found buried in the bogs where spruce trees are now growing.

ALASKA FOOD
 SHORTAGES ARE
 BECOMING SERIOUS

Acute food shortages are ap- bearing at several Alaska points as a result of the long continued strike of longshore- men on the Pacific Coast.
 Anchorage reports Monday stated some supplies were al- most exhausted in that import ant center, especially butter and eggs. The largest bakery there had exhausted it's last flour and restaurant managers were rationing various food commodities.
 Governor John w. Troy was asked by the Anchorage Cham Der of Commerce to call g special session of the legisla- ture to set up a Territorial shipping system to obtain SUD- plies from Vancouver, B. C. by Canadian steamers if 'the Unit ed States Pacific ports failed flo provide immediate relief.
 Seattle reports early this week indicated a possibility that the federal government would charter and operate vessels for the Alaska service to combat the critical food sit uation in the north.
 The 30-day strike tie-up is threatening the canning, min- ing and other basic Alaska in- dustries to the degree that many thousands m a y b e thrown out of work and be left destitute during the coming winter.
 Bulletin
 Temporary arrangements be- tween Seattle shipping inter- ests and the striking longshore- men for the relief of the acute food and industrial supply situ- ation in Alaska were an- nounced from Seattle by radio Friday evening.
 Under the agreement six ves- sels will be loaded with food, merchandise and cannery sup plies for the north during the weekend, the reports said.
 The arrangement leaves the questions of hours and wages for later settlement.
