THE VALLEY SETTLER
 Mrs. Marie Wilson, who formerly lived in Moose Pass, is managing editor ot HE VALLEY SETTLER, newspaper published for the settlers of the Matanu ska Colony pro- feet. Issued from Palmer, THE VALLEY SETT- LER is an page letter-size mimeo5raphed paper of attractive appearance.It carries two full-page Ads, a number of smaller Ads. The Ads are adorned with some excellent hand lett ering and drawings. The paper IS very newsy and the settlers being scattered over large area outlying from Palmer, it is very valuable to them with it's announce ments of Grange meet ing, Cooperative Assoc iati on affairs, Ext ension Service bulletins and church and social events.
 letter to the editor from Mrs. Ebing states that she and her mother are now the sole occuoants of their island in Sitka Sound. Alice is in Seattle tending school and Mr. Ebing and John are away Il sh- ing, getting back home but two Sundays out of each month. Mrs. Scrimpser is not at all we'll has had all of her meals in her room since April.
 Mrs. Ebing enjo her island home very much. She had fine garden this summer, has fish for the catching, clans for the digging, quant ities of wild berries for the picking. She says radio reception on the island is splendid. "BUT"- she says, 1T certainly do long for my Moose Pass tr1enos. Harbert Hi1 scher, magazine writer and rowing ter, wrote from Anchorage: "The appointment of pr. Ernest H.

I The rest of them took up the cue as they lined up. Dan almost had to fight to keep the tears back. He knew how they felt.
 Pitt went into a single wing to the right. The Tech line shifted out with them. Dan nosed up just behind his tackle when the ball was snapped, and was right in his diagnosis. They thundered toward an opening but Dan knifeo through and dropped the runner on the line of scrimmage.

 The first few exchanges oi downs indicated what was to come. Theirs was to be @ defen- sive battle. They had to stop For- rest and McCarroll and wait for 8 break of their own.
 No use springing much till we get a real opportunity" Tommy panted in their first tiIneout :. Just hold 'em make 'em punt on third down if we can we can't take this pounding long"
 But the mighty Pitt forward wall slowly pushed them back Dan and Tony Mangano played up close, plugging gaps desperately.
 The Partners bruised their way down to the Tech 30. First and 10. The Pitt quarter took the ball from center spun. Hank Butt Ter, Tech tackle smashed in and was mousetrapped beautifully. Hal For rest took the ball from the spinning quarterback and sailed through the hole for five yards.
 Forrest pounded for two more before Dan and Marty Gallagher ganged him.
 Pitt gave it to McCarroll on e deep reverse and the crowd stood up with a roar. The Panther blockers were carrying out their assignments with mechanical per- lection. Barney Hughes was rid- den out by wave of interferers and and McCarroll cut inside with with plenty to spare.
 Out of the corner of his eye Dan saw Marty Gallagher gt down in a heap and he knew he was the last one on that side oi the line who had a chance to stor the flying Pitt ball carrier.
 He pounded across the field and trapped McCarroll on the Ave- yard line in the coffin corner
 He lunged forward to make the tackle and was hit at the same time by the Pitt end completing his downfield blocking chore. Desperately Dan flung his out stretched hand toward McCar- rolls leg largely succeeded in tripping him as he went down.
 Dan hit the turf hard. A sharp, piercing pain shot through his hand at the impact. Without look ing at 1t, Dan knew he had re- broken the bone.

be able to lead them to Joan and Dan. Tommy swore excitedly as he raced to tell Bill Slocum.
 He raced across the running track. Just as he approached the gate on the other side of the field he almost stumbled from shock.
 Dan Webber and Joan Johnson, escorted by three policemen, were being rushed into the stadium.
 Tommy shrieked and dashed toward them.
 "No time for talk now" Dan aowled happily. Gotta get dress ed".
 He hurried toward the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms, sud- denly stopped and ran back to Joan. He grasped her shoulders, his eyes sparkling.
 "ThisIl have to do until later" He kissed her hastily and dashed off again.
 Tommy howled and threw his arms around Joan. He shrieked in her ear but she hardly noticed. Her eyes swan with happiness as she watched Dan disappear into the tunnel,
 Hey, snap out of 1t wake upp Tommy pleaded. What 2 Where .? C'mon, tell me some- thing or I'll pass out!"
 She told him as much as she could in a rush of words. It didn't occur to her that she ought to be resting now. This was no time for convalescence. She'd call her father just as soon as she could get to phone.
 Tommy stopped short. "Tell me was there guy named Rocco 2"
 "Rocco2' she echoed. "Yes, but how did you P"
 Wait here" he ordered. Don't cross the field yeti"
 Never had there been such scene in the Tech dressing room. Tears actually flooded Bill Slocum's eyes as he smothered Dan in his arms. Joe Donchek danced around in his stocking feet and howled in native Slav. They all acted like bunch of Comanches, hurling helmets into the air in their delirinm.
 It took Dan just one minute to convince Slocum he was strong enough to play. Slocum slapped him on the back and showed him toward his locker.
 Keith came over and embraced him. Gee, it's swell to have you back Danny boy"
 Thanks, pal. We're gonna take these guys, aren't we? Any new stuffP"
 very little" Keith informed him. Well steer you on one new formation and you know all the old stuff"
 Dan felt like telling him that wasn't all he knew, but let Keith find out for himself, he figured.
 The public address system had broken the news about Dan and Joan, and when the Tech Squad raced onto the field, bedlam of sound arose.
 Get yourself warmed up good" Johnny White advised. You're probably little soft and this is gonna be murder"
 He wasn't far from right. Bar ney Hughes won the toss and chose to kick of. The referee blew the whistle, the Tech line moved forward, and Tony Mangano sent the ball end over end down to the five.
 There was was roar as Hal For- rest took 1t, moved in behind his interference and started up field under full head of steam. There was a flash of maroon as Joe Donchek, chortling like kid with a new toy, smashed in from the side and brought him down on the IA.
 Joe got up chattering furiously. "Okay, Danny boy welcome home that one was for you let's get 'em let's get 'em, Danny Boy!"

 Tommy Peters, leaning upon his megaphone, stared up at the stands. '"They1l hit 75,O0O sure today" he remarked to ar assistant.
 Suddenly his eyes froze on a spot six or seven rows above him. There sat Rocco Petronel Tommy dropped his megaphone. Take over till I get back!" he yelled, and dashed for the Tech dressing rooms.
 There was still 20 minutes be- Fore the kickoff. It was a bare chance, but Rocco Petrone might

Building Outlook Good
Despite War Effects
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-Viewing the
building industry from the stand
point of current trade prospects and
possible effects of the European war
recent survey prepared by Fenner
& Beane, New York Stock Exchange
firm, comes to the conclusion that
domestic factors are favorable and
that war influences will not be i'm
portant unless the United States
enters the conflict.
The firms economists forecast a
80 per cent gain in residential build
ing for this year and further i'm
provement in 1910 despite war con-
ditions.
Building industry observers have
been unduly concerned in recent
weeks with the possible effects of
the European war on building ac-
tivity, according to the study.
Fears of a recession have been
inspired by recollections that a
sharp slump in building activity
was witnessed in 1917 and that the
subsequent recovery did not start
until 1919, after the war was over.
The three chief differences be-
tween conditions then and now are ::
There is little danger of runaway
prices for building materials, due
to larger margin of unused pro-
duction capacity and the Govern
ments desire to prevent monopolis-
tic practices; labor scarcity need
hardly be expected with millions of
unemployed to draw from; this time
the war comes when the building in
dustry is in its sixth year of re-
covery from the 1888 low point"

Electric Equipment
Orders Expected 10
Rise Sharply
Financial World Sees
Big Expansion in
Utility Spending
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 23-Orders
for new electrical equipment seem
destined to expand significantly, in
the opinion of the Financial World.
Where the early stages of the last
war found utilities reducing pur-
chases for new facilities, with the
result that equipment manufac-
turers' sales and earnings declined,
no such dip now seems in sight
but, on the contrary, improved
business lies ahead, the magazine
points out in its forthcoming Oc-
tober Is issue.
I'm 1914, the utilities were utterly
unprepared for the tremendous in
crease in industrial demand that
developed in response to the World
War" says the publication. with
no precedent to follow, they were
naturally reluctant to order prompt
ly much additional equipment at the
sharply advanced prices necessitated
by soaring prices for copper and
other materials. AS result, revenues
Of the two outstanding companies
In the industry declined SIS and

But thereafter, despite cost and
financing difficulties, electrical equip
ment sales rose vigorously, expand

mo such initial dropping off in
revenues is anticipated, should the
present conflict give signs of con-
tinuing over a considerable period.
Even prior to the outbreak of this
war, the utility industry evidenced
desire to expand its facilities and
now, with increased indications that
the Government has no current plans
for further competitive projects,
orders for new equipment seem
likely to show marked increases.
Power output has been hanging
up new weekly records, and unless
private productive capacity is kept
we'll ahead Of prospective demand,
some quarters would doubtless again
agitate for further construction Of
generating plants by the Govern
ment. Government buying of equip
ment for power projects has ap-
parently passed its peak. but its
place may be taken by orders for
numerous turbines, motors, controls
and other expensive apparatus for
building and reconditioning battle
ships, coast defenses, ETC."

Cotton Prices Edge
Still Higher in
Latest Week
Distunt Deliveries
Continue to Show
Most Strength
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Cotton
prices worked upward last week,
continuing the trend of the previous
week.
In the future market the more
distant deliveries continued to be
much stronger than the nearby, with
the result that premiums on the
nearby deliveries were substantially
reduced. Old type contracts in the
New York Cotton Exchange showed
net advances for the week of II
to 81 points.
Bullish influences included the
high rate of domestic consumption,
large exports. the passing of the
peak of picking of the new crop,
and strength in some outside
markets, brokers said.
The lesser strength of the nearby
than of the distant deliveries during
the last two or three weeks was at
tributed to the fact that, with the
demand for spot cotton in Southern
markets moderate. the spot cotton
basis in terms of the nearby de-
liveries has recently declined.
Merchants have not been in a po-
sition to buy new-crop cotton in
volume to stock against sales later
in the season because of the dis
counts on the distant futures con-
tracts. The inverted situation in
the futures market. analysts said,
was due to the relatively small sup
ply of free" cotton in this country,
which in turn is due to the huge
Government holdings.
Domestic mills have sold only a
small volume of goods in the last
one or two weeks. but they have con-
tinued very busy on large orders
booked in September. Shipments
of goods against the old orders con-
tinued heavy.
The large movement of cotton
into export channels has created a
more optimistic feeling in some
quarters as to prospects for total
exports by this country this season.
There has been no evidence to date
that shipments of cotton from this
country to Europe have been slowed
down by the submarine menace.

Much Of Business
Upswing Laid 10
Natural Forces
Trade Service Sees
Markets Ignoring
Real Factors
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Oct. 23.-Much of the
hesitancy in security markets can
be laid to lack of general recogni-
ton that the current business up
swing is more than a speculative
war BOOM which would be quickly
debated by an early peace, says the
United Business Service in its latest
weekly report.
The underlying business trend in
this country has been upward since
June, 1898. While there was tenn
porary setback early this year, busi-
ness again turned strongly upward
IN June-three months before the
outbreak of war From May to Au-
gust the Federal Reserve production
ineeX rose from 90 to 102
This rise, during period of acute
war fears. gives ample indication fof
the strength of oasic recovery forces.
Since September / business has
surged upward. Production is now
25 per cent greater than a year ago.
yet stock prices are almost exactly
where they were last October.
Admittedly. much of the recent
buying wave was due to anticipation
of war orders and higher prices. On
the other hand, inventories have
been abnormally low and prices so
far have certainly not been over
inflated. Hence, even an early peace
would not bring a period of drastic
inventory and price liquidation COM
parable to the situation in 1887.
Even had there been no war it is
probable that normal recovery forces
would have carried the Federal Re-
serve index to ITO this fall.
The stimulus of war has simply
accelerated the uptrend which was
already under way. 1t would be
absurd to expect production to hold
at near-capacity levels indefinitely
without some setback.
Yet, even allowing for a 10 to IL
per cent dip in activity from the
indicated fall peak, average stock
prices would still appear under
valued at present levels on the basis
of current and prospective industrial
earning power.
