AS a fruit importer, Dan West
had better stick to assessing and
collecting he decided this week in
between mild explosions against
"red tape" and bureaucracy. Dan,
recently home from vacation back
in the Middle West, recounted how
he brought a bushel basket of
Jonathan apples from the orchards
of Missouri across five states. Stop
ped for inspection at the Arizona
California border, Dan proudly
showed his apples.
= Inspector Bill Quick raised his
Ihands in horror. DAM" he howled
you couldn't have brought any
thing worse They are poison to
California
Dan bowed to the inevitable under
a barrage of statistics quoted by
Quick concerning how dreadful the
apples are to agriculture. He tele-
phoned a friend in Yuma to hop
out to the line and get the apples.
The friend hoped and stopped at
the Arizona customs on the way
home, only TO have the Arizona
officers go California one better by
confiscating and burning them
RRs tip would be to make cider
out Of any apples Dan wants to
bring across in the future. You
can't burn cider.

Useful Chart
Cleveland Plain pealer)

(CleVelafld Plan Dealer)
 The voluntary registration of the jobless con- ducted in late November fails to give very definite picture of unemployment But it does provide a more accurate estimate than any which the nation has had in the six years during which mass unemployment has been a major social problem. This is an important gain.
 John D. Biggers Toledo business man who d- rected the effort has done excellent job with the means at his disposal In quarter of the time which would have been required to gather and tabu- late an actual enumeration of the jobleSS the results of the November registration at hand. The cost has been fraction of that of a regular census
 Bggers' report shows that 7382912 men and women registered themselves as jobless Before the count was fairly under way it became apparent that many who should return the cards not doing so. Some had fantastic idea that the count had something to do with military draft A house. showed 28 percent failure to fill out the cards It IS significant that the American Institute of Public Opinion, conducting similar check in typical areas found that 26 percent of those who deemed them selves unemployed did not return cards.
 Together they go far to justify the Biggers esti- mate of a possible maximum" of l0870OO0 unem- ployed last November. This approximate the current estimates of unemployment made by the American Federation of Labor. These federation estimates issued monthly for many years have been substan- tialy higher than those of the National Industrial Conference Board, a business organization which likewise keeps tabs employment.
 Biggers recognizes that both the nearly 80000OO actually registered and the 10870000 maxlmum in- clude some who, while they would like additional work are not fairly to be classified unemployed in the commonly accepted sense of the word None the less the census figures formidable They utterly dis credit the efforts made business circles few months ago to show that all current estimates of were grossly exaggerated This ar gument was pushed in effort to force drastic re- auctions in relief appropriations Federal and state
 Moreover it is important to remember that since the Biggers registration and check was made in Mo- vember there has been large increase in unemploy- ment. Estimates of this group of jobleSs range rom 100000 to l0O0OO0 Its numbers will grow daily so long as the present business recession continues
 The Blggers report is not cheerful reading But 1t has the merit of calling timely attention to an issue not to be lodged It means that relief reoure menus Will continue high at least in the early months of 1888.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 2S, 1888

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1888 l Mingled good and evil planetary influences are discerned in the hor- oscope for today. According to as trology the morning may be less lucky than later hours. Mars in threatening aspect en- lcourages conflict in groups large and small Domestic differences may be widely prevalent; the men are more culpable than the wo- linen.
 ; The planetary government seems to favor girls who are willing to work hard The sway is promising to those who seek positions. Brains count more than beauty under this rule of the stars. @
 There is a good sign for those who launch new projects. Initiative is we'll directed
 A sign threatens those who wield power. Again an assassination of Ia high government official is prog nosticated. Lawlessness will be ap- parent in many parts of the world As the day advances good news will effect the stock exchanges and business centers of American cities. Trade will be stimulated in metal products.
 Warning is given that devastat- ing fires may cause great danger. | Theatres and school buildings should be watched with extra care. Relief agencies now will be over whelmed with applications for aid ,as extreme suffering is reported in many places. Severe weather will accentuate the needs of the indi- gent.
 Warning is given that a financial scandal with widespread percussions may be expected next month. Care in handling investments should be redoubled to avoid losses.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of prosperity, but there may be unusual tugs of the heart. Progress and popular ity will be the lot of many Aquar- ians.

LET'S DISMISS THOSE BASELESS
 RUMORS IN JUNEAU

w There may be a condition called recession" in the States but there isn't any such a thing Juneau
 This is the concensus of Alaska and Juneau busi- people returning from trips Outside Juneau they find is situated, with a guaranteed payroll that it need not heed of distress emanating from the States
 With the virtually inexhaustible Alaska Juneau gold mine producing at normal rate and providing employment for some 300 at good wages, with an established government payroll and with other businesses of the community able to carry on at a normal pace as result of this sound foundation Juneau is particularly fortunate these travelling Alas kans point out.
 Some of us who do not get around much can do well to heed their conclusions and go ahead lv- ing in normal way; buying within means paying our bills and looking forward to the future with optimism based on fact With established market for gold at $35 residents of Juneau have no worry about the future business in this community
 Recently the Chamber of Commerce made an in- dustria survey of Juneau and the surrounding trade The following paragraph from its report clearly reveals what those making the survey found out to be an established fact:
 The growth of Juneaus population has been due to great extent to the increased employment of the Alaska Juneau mine and the growth of the Federal and Territorial personnel Directly indirectly the bulk of the growth be traced to these sources prosperous business condition created by the heavy payros of the mine and the government offices has attracted others to come to Juneau; many of them, have remained either the employment of others or in businesses conducted by themselves"
 Some of have been having hallucinatons It's tune dismissed them and settled down to enjoying a normal, healthy and happy existence in darn good town instead of stirring up a lot of baseless rumors.

 Own More Acreage

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 27.-State agriculture authorities have noted great increase in the number of farm owners and a corresponding decrease in tenants during the past half-decade in Texas.
 Landowners increased by more than 10000 while tenants decreased by at least 15,000. The change is attributed to gov ernment loans.
