THIS COUNTY
Rates 105TH
Leads 2,965 in U. s.
in Wages Paid by
Manufacturer


Pierce county stood 105th among
the 500 counties in the United
States in wages paid by manu-
featuring establishments during
1887, Secretary Of Commerce
Harry L. Hopkins announced Fri
day in Washington, d. C.
The survey was made, Hopkins
said, to assist distributors and
manufacturer in marketing their
products more effectively by CIV
ing them a key to consumer pur-
chasing power and trends in the
various counties.
Based on the biennial census of
manufactures, the study showed
comparative figures for 1929, the
peak prosperity year; 1888, turn
ing point of the depression, and
1887, the latest year for which
census of manufactures figures are
available and whose tabulation was
recently completed. The census of
manufactures covering the calen-
dar year 1899 starts on Jan. 2.
Pierce county's position in terms
of wages paid by manufacturing
establishments is traced back to
1929 when it stood Ssth in the
nation, with 24,196.311 in total
wages paid. In 1888 total wages
paid were $7,ss0,63s or 674 per
cent less than in 1929. The census
shows that total wages paid in the
county during 1887 fell ISL per
cent as compared with 1929. From
1888 to 1887. total wages paid in
the county, rose 1855 per cent to
place the county 105th in the coun.
try with q total of 1882

England has just completed some
new and incredibly fast small men,
o'-war. The first launched was
scheduled to make her trial run
along the coast OF Scotland.
However, as matters actually
developed, the high governmental
official selected to decker for the
loan from the u. s., was secretly
put aboard the new man-o'-wsr.
Then, instead Of an innocent
trial spin, the swift little craft
headed westward ut full speed
and IS hours later was
sighted In American coastal
waters!
Engines of the craft were q

strapped, but the miraculous cross

two days was well worth the sac
