For PinaI County
Fourth county in state in sales
= gains during past 10 years; in

county is fourth in the state In
increase of sales during the past
ten-year period.
Greenlee leads the state with a
gain OF 309 &c "a sensational gain
due largely to expanded mining
operations at Morenci. Santa Cruz
comes In second with 224 per-
centage and Maricopa third with

gain. 1t must be remembered that
this gain has been a steady one,
that this countys advance has
been of the sound, solid type
based on agricultural economy and
comparatively small community
business.
Statistics on retail volume by

heretofore except in census years.
However. commencing In jan
uary of this year the State Tax
Commission has compiled such in
formation monthly.

sales for the first six months Of

which is 227%o OF the business
done within Pinal county. On this
basis the yearly sales should be
well above the $4,000, 900 mark.
as the fall season with an expand
ed population due to migrant
workers will exceed the first six
months OF the year.

Work to be carried on under

Hinze Reports
On Reclamation
Is Speaker at Billings
Meeting: Says Progress
Is Really Substantial

Work under way on Bureau
Of Reclamation projects in
Montana was described by
Charles T. Hinze, Region 6
planning engineer, to highlight
the Tuesday session of the
fourth annual meeting of the
Montana Reclamation associa-
ton.
Mr.. Hinze, speaking to the
group in the Northern hotel,
explained that although few
projects are under actual con-
structior, very substantial
progress" has been made in
preliminary pre- = construction
work.
Members of the association,
who met in Billings on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday, heard the
engineer review the planning
work necessary for all reclama-
ton projects. He pointed out
that determination as to land
resources and economic feast
bility are required at the earli-
est possible date. For example"
he said, 1T is not possible to
properly lay out a canal sys-
tenn until the land under study
has been classified and the To-
cation and amount of land
susceptible to irrigation has
been determined. Also of vital
Importance are economic de-
examinations, such as ability of
the lands to return costs allo-
Gated to irrigation and benefits
to the local area, the state and
the nation arising from con-
struction and operation of a
project"
The planning engineer, speak
ing on behalf of H. D. Com
stock, regional director, present.
ed a resume of major events
taking place during the last
year.
He explained that in Deem
Der, 1945, Congress made a sub
stantial deficiency appropria-
ton for beginning construction
and preparatory work on units
of the Missouri basin project
The presidential order restrict
ing expenditure of federal
funds and the Steelman mora
forum on new construction,
both issued in August, were re-
viewed by MIR. Hinze.
Other factors which have re-
strlcted activities of the Bureau
of Reclamation during the last
year, Mr.. Einze said, are per-
sonnet ceilings and scarcity of
certain construction materials.
The regional engineer re-
viewed by unit, work under way

some commercial and munich
pal loans, the regional power
manager explained.
Fort Peck power delivered to
Garrison dam substation will
be used initially by the army
corps of engineers for con-
struction of the dam. After
completion of Garrison dam
and power plant, the line will
be used primarily as part Of
the backbone transmission syS-
tenn to interconnect the plants
and interchange power.
The line from Glendive to
Miles City will follow the gen.
eral course of the Yellowstone
river and will be approximately
70 miles in length. The trans

is reported that a shortage of
railroad cars has held off the
movement OF quite a number
of cattle to market and these
cattle have shown some shrink
age and are not in as good
condition as earlier. In addi-
ton, the holding of cattle has
depleted supplies of feed in
many instances. The number
of cattle going to market has
increased as a result of in
creased feed demands.
Wet November storms were
reported to have affected sheep
to some extent and caused them
to shrink relatively more than
cattle; however their condition
is still good. There has been
an additional movement of
sheep to market. Due to the
early SHOWS and a limited sup
ply of feed, the incentive to
liquidate sheep is greater than
ever this fall, according to re-
ports.

Ask for Return

HESITANCY about asking for the
return of something loaned is often
mistaken courtesy. When someone
does not return borrowed item, there
is no reason you can't ask. Have you
finished the book? John Jones would
like to read it," Or, Henry would
like to cut the grass this evening.
Have you finished with the lawn
mower?"
The fact that you are very dear
friend or close relative does not mean
that you have license to abuse these
borrowing privileges. And as for the
lenders, the fault that borrowed things
are not returned is in equal measure
theirs.

you something, you have
certain obligations
CoR that big party which now and
then becomes must for those
of us who live in hospitable neighbor-
hoods, it is natural to ask nearby
friends to help out You may call on
them to lend items such as bridge
tables, chairs, glasses, teacups, spoons,
forks and the almost inevitable punch
bowl and ladle.
At other times, perhaps you will
want to requisition a folding cot or
two when the house is overfilled with
weekend visitors.
In any case, this borrowing and
lending is so habitual that we often
hear the saying that the possessions
of certain well-supplied hostesses can
find their own way around the neigh
borhood and home again.
But even so, borrowing is not an
admirable practice. And the problem
of how to check it is difficult, mainly
