.Business Activity
Boosted in West

Far western business activity fol
the year 1886 was maintained at q
higher level than in any of the
previous four years, according to
the Bank of Americas business in
dex appearing in the current issue
of the banks monthly Business Re-
view.
The index stood at 1876 at the
years end, which is the highest
point since April 1881, and only 1914
per cent below normal.
The banks annual summary re-
veals not only the broad geographi-
cal extent of western business gains
In 1896, but also shows that the
gains have been generally distribut-
ed through the various channels
of industry, agriculture, trade and
finance. 1t also points out that gains
/, were consistently made Throughout
each month of the year over the
corresponding months of the previ-
Gus four years.
Building activity in California
contributed heavily to the general
speeding up of BUSINESS in 1886; per-
mits showed 71.8 per cent increase
over 1885 and the best showing in
the past five years.
The 1896 average index of Cali
fornia farm prices registered 107
per cent of the July ls1O-June 1915
average, being 70 per cent above the
depression low, and considerably
higher than the yearly averages of
the five previous years.
The total farm value of principal
California crops was estimated at
$439, AIS 900 in 1886, higher than any
year since 1929 and $68, 8,499, 900, or

Encouraged by the response Of Of
ficials and civic organizations to
their proposal for establishment
of a boys club here, to be pat
termed after the Metropolitan Pc
lice Boys Club of Washington,
Frank E. Hayes and group OF
citizens sponsoring the project to-
day proceeded with plans Whtcn
would have the club in operation
early in the spring. .
A mass meeting will be called
some time this week, Hayes said,
to consider details of organization
and methods of financing the
club. One of the. aims, he said,
is to make the club self-support-
ing, once it is established, by hav-
ing the members cooperate in mat
ters of financing and manage
ment. Sponsors of the plan hope
it will lead to construction of a
recreation center for the use OF
both men and boys. ...
The proposal has recently been
indorsed by the Community League
of Iakoma Park, and both its
president, Judge Herman c. Hett-
ner, and Mayor John r. Adams

wrote a letter to her mother,
saying she was going to Spain.
"There was no suggestion of
her marrying, and the reason
for her disappearance is a COM

expressed any undue sympathy
for one side or the other in
