EXPANSION St'MMEb The Industrial Finance company last week increased Its capital Mock from $75,000, to better accomniodatresidents seeking loans for homes and other purposes. Perhaps the best summary in terms of population Increase that these facts yield was expressed by N.

A. Becker, general superintendent of the Columbia Steel corporation, in an address last week to the chamber of commerce directors. "The rate of expansion at which Pittsburg Industries have proceeded in the past, if continued as heretofore, will mean a Pittsburg 'of 1 a 1 1 within five years," Becker said.

Consistently high prices, together with crops of unusually excellent quality, are the reasons set forth by Merritt for the prosperous con dition of the grain trade. "In other agricultural lines," tho banker declared, "the season Is up to par.

It ia a little too early to prophesy regarding fruits, but indications are that raisers will have normal crops and will be able to dispose of them at fair prices. "Truck gardtn acreage has not increased since last year, when many ranchers of thig district began to plant lots of smalt stuff. Lettuce growers were rewarded handsomely in the spring crop this year, but lost out last fall. "Truck gardening here is still In the experimental stage. I doubt whether large acreages here will ever be devoted to it, because of the perishable nature of the Wheat acreage, said Merritt, has increased this year at the expense of barley.

SACRAMENTO, July Iff. Over $14,000,000 in industrial and agricultural development in California Is anticipated by state officials as the result of the filing of 26 applications for water diversion from streams of the state with the state division of' water rights, department of public works, the pajit week. Included in the list are seven applications made by A. Heron, chairman of the state board of control under authority of the Feigenbaum act written for the purpose of preserving a portion of the -flow of mountain' streams for the counties in which they originate. The filings are of a general nature, and are of sufficient quantity of water irrigate more than a million acres? Largest 6t the applications that filed by John L.

The orders, which came from Nanking government, were a' surprise, though in keeping with General Chiang Kai-Shek's efforts to maintain silver currency' while doing his utmost to false a sixty million dollar loan (about $30,000,000 in American money) for administration and war expenses. The prohibition is likely to have a disastrous effect on trade with the interior, making Shanghai's business conditions similar to Hankow's. the Chicago Daily News.) i Fingerprints Transmitted ThroughRadio New Weapon Against Crime.

Is Found in Broadcasting Field. LONDON, July 16. A device for the transmission by wireless of finger prints hand writing and fashion plates Is beiirfe' perfected in the laboratory at Chetmford by G. Wright of the Marconi com. pany.

This Invention, If successful, will, result In one of the great-, est revolutions In wireless telegraphy of the century. Up to the present time such messages have been transmitted-over only a distance of a few miles and the inventor is now hoping to extend "this distance until the system becomes as extended as the radio. The developments which would be made possible by the success of this invention are amazing. An open letter or a postcard could re transmitted by wireless and received in the exact handwriting of the sender. A man in an airplane during an operation would be able to make notes or sketches of enemy activity and they would be transmitted automatically to headquarters -without his having to tap out Morse message's or1 speak by1 telephone.

It would make the Morse code obsolete in many important branches. The'finger prihts of a suspected person arrested in same' distant city would.no sooner be taken by police officials than they would be verified -by the police of another city, perhaps of another continent. The latest fashion piaiea of Paris could be sent in this manner to New York. And since pictures could be transmitted in the same way, it would mean that the, telegraphic news pages of the newspapers would be graphically Illustrated with telegraphic pictures. Wireless pictures are already oossible, of course, but the new system through its speed and clarity promises to supersede all others.

The invention would also result in remarkable changes in newspaper production. Tests that have been carried, out that in the simplest ways each page can be flashed from one office to another. Thift'; indicates that the time is not far distant when the copy of a New York paper could be flashed across the Atlantic to Paris for its European edition. It is "expected that at least several more months will be necessary before the scheme Is perfected for use. UMILLIONS IN PROJECTS SACRAMENTO, July 16.

Widening of 7.8 miles of the highway between Dublin and Hayward Is anticipated now 'at an early date as a result contemplated opening of construction bids by the state highway commission, at a meeting scheduled for August 1.
