POWER SHARES
FEATURE OF
CURB RISE
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, June 20 Q.N.S0.
Curb stocks worked moderately
higher in fair volume in later trad
ing, with good gains in the power
shares outstanding. Metals and
petroleumS were again displaying
tagging tendencies.
A new peak for the year was
again established in United Light
preferred as the issue climbed
more than 2 points. Electric Bond
and Share and Northern States
Power A were notably improved.
Cities Service preferred added 112
points.
Gains in the miscellaneous
shares were somewhat more re-
stricted. American Hard Rubber
climbed more than a point and
Bliss gained almost a point. Cata-
lin Corporation, United States Foil
B, and Technicolor worked slight
ly higher. Last prices were frac-
tionally under best levels for the
day, but the difference was slight
in most cases.
In the oils, Creole Petroleum
and Louisiana Land showed light
gains, while Pantepec eased. The
list was rather quiet.
Dizziness also characterized the
mining shares. Pioneer Gold
Sagged "a point to 812, while Sun
shine held about steady.

STEEL ACTIVITY
RATE HIGHEST
SINCE 1880

Steel activity last week set a new
1885 record at tbs per cent of
capacity, a 1-point rise, under a
rush of last-minute orders to
evade the third-qparter increase
in prices, according to Steel.
The rate was the highest since
May, 1890. The July 4 holiday
will pull down operations for this
week.
Producers will enter the third
quarter with large accumulation
of specifications to cushion the
tapering-off in July, the magazine
said.
Automobile assemblies dropped
below the 100000 mark by a mar
row margin for the first week
since March %. However, several
manufacturers thought to have
completed purchases Of material
for this season placed orders for
additional steel.
Shape awards increased sub
Stantially to a total of $4,000 tons,
the summary said, and railroad
car construction, including the
placing of 4,720 cars, 1000 steel
underframes and six locomotives,
was the highest since the week
of May %. Tin plate producers
see no serious cut in activity fol-
lowing seven weeks Of full opera
tons.
The market tone Of scrap last
week was slightly stronger. al
though the index remained at
$12.47 for the third week.

The Lomen Commercial Con- pany has under way the con- struction of a new warehouse just west of their large ware house on River Street. The new building will be 60 by 100 feet, together with the necessary land- ing platforms, one story in height and covered with galvanized ir- on.
 The foundation is already laid, and the structure will be complet- ed in time to accomodate fall shipments of freight. The Con- pany will be enabled to release space in other warehouses to pro vide cover for their winter coal supply. due on the last boats.
 Construction on the warehouse is not a contract job, says Alfred J. Lomen, general manager of the company, but is under the sup ervision of their superintendent J. I. Anderson, the work being done by their own crew augment ed by the necessary local labor. MT. Reed, who lately completed work on the new Nome school building, is assisting as foreman, it was declared.
 It is gratifying to see the build ing program continue, and Nome is fortunate in gaining this addi- tional warehouse space which adds materially to her already excellent lighterage facilities.

Only short time ago trunkful of
spurious French national lottery tickets
were confiscated by U. S. Treasury agents,
when the steamer bearing the trunk locked
in New York. It was said that possible
customers were saved 100000, and that
the tickets would have been sold easily,
had they once been slipped past the Ein-
spectors. The account in the New York
Times states that "the appetite of Amer
leans for the extraordinary long-chance:
gamble is an important--and sometimes
the al-stock-in-tradea Of sweep
stakes and lottery operators in a dozen
countries. 1t is estimated that every year
Americans buy from eight to fifteen mil
lion dollars worth of bona fide sweep
stakes tickets and 100000 more fake
ones that do not give the buyer even the
everal-thOusandtO-on chance of the
legitimate lottery" Probably fewer per-
sons vould risk their money, however, if
it were not for the immense publicity given
to the winners of the money that, as the
reporter says, comes back to make
wealth people out of skinny handful of
poor ones and weather. people out of an
equally skimpy handful of well-to-do win
ners'

ONCE UPON A TIME

Once upon a time there was a man.
who lived in town, and spent all his
money away from home. He was sure
that he could take care of himself, and
that his town didn't mean anything to him.
After few years, his business wasn't
as keen as he had hoped it would be, his
friends didn't seem to think he was quite
as important as he thought he was, and
trade seemed to flow by his doors.
He began to watch his competitor,
who he found was an intelligent adver-
tiser, contributor to the public purse,
mar anxious to give some of his time and
thought to community projects, and a be-
lever in the fact that it pays to keep
money at home where it can keep floating
around between the stores and businesses
there - STE
And, after noting all these factors, he
continued to wonder why some of his old
customers went to the newcomer, and why
almost everybody had the idea that he was
tightwad and his competitor a public
spirited leader of community life.

EV,ADING GAS TAXES

Because of the lack of uniformity
among the states in the matter of gasoline
taxes. considerable traffic in bootleg"
gasoline has grown up, in spite of all eff
forts of officials to suppress it.
The plan is, of course, to buy gaso-
line in a state with low tax, transport it
across the line and sell it in state having
a higher tax, without reporting the sale to
the authorities. This has been done on a
large scale by means of tank wagons, but
through increased vigilance by state in
spectors a great many such law violators
have been apprehended and made to pay
the tax and fine besides.
In Missouri alone $178,574 in evaded
taxes and fines were collected in four
years, while no one knows how many of
the "bootleggers" escaped detection.
The practice will no doubt continue to
a greater or less extent as long as differ
ent gasoline tax rates exist among the sew
eral states.

STATISTICS TO ORDER

If one depends on the conflicting
statistics put out as argument in favor of
this and that, it is difficult to get much in
formation of satisfactory nature. While
it is said that Figures cannot lie,'' ex-
perience has amply proved that statistics
not only can, but often do. .-s.
A case in point is seen in statement
by a church board which claims that pro-
hibition increased the national wealth by
~ billion dollars, while the National In
duStrial Conference Board gives statistics
which indicate that prohibition caused a
decrease of It's billion dollars. One or
both of these statements must be in error,
perhaps both.
This recalls a story of the late pub
Usher, E. W. Scripps, who decided to en-
ploy an expert to compile some statistics on
matters of national Importance, making an
offer of $4,000 for the job. The expert
wired Mr.. ScrippS:
