slept on a .couch until awakened at

Chicago, Oct. 80. Discussion of -tn- .
vestments ranged from electrical se
curities to railroad bonds at the clos
ing business session of the investment :
bankers association of America here
today. '
Delos A. Chappell of Los Angeles ;
addressed the convention on the "Fta- j
anclng and Development of Hydro- (
Electrical Power." The enormous
amount of power consumed In Cali
fornia for irrigation and agricultural
purposes had been responsible, he
said, for many reckless ' promotions
calling for the Introduction of some
financial methods to stamp them out. :
; Bonds on- new or construction -properties
should be issued only as the
work progressed. In the opinion of Mr.
Chappell, upon a percentage basis of
money expended, as certified to by the
construction engineer. Receiverships
and re-organizations then would dis
appear, '.he predicted and the securi
ties of public . service corporations
then would be elevated structures 10
plane where they.rightly belong.

few Individuals, of the enormp.u.stlin-i -..j. liJ

responsible lor xne comparatively
small amount of timber land bonds
outstanding In the hands or Investors,
according to Clark I Poole of Chi
cago. ' There were less than $160,000.-
000 worth of these bonds outstanding,
he said, although the value of stand
ing timber, together with plant and
equipment of the lumDer inausxry,
reached the enormous total of $10,-
000,000,000. -
Official government investigate
had showed, he asserted, that tnree
persons owned nearly 11 per cent ot
the privately, owned timber in the en
tire oountry.'and 196 own more than
42 per cent. The government estimate
that at the present rate of consump
tion our native timber supply would
be exhausted in 60 to 76 years, ne
said, had had and would In the future
have marked effect on the sranaing
timber. He declared that the price
tendency could not be otherwise than
upward, therefore giving an unusual
element of strengtn to any securuj
whose basis was standing timber.
