Toward Prosperity.
Bank Clearings Increase
Omaha Hra Imm4 Wlr.
Chicago, June 30. The business of
the country enters the last half of
the year July 1, with good prospects.
The present promise for generous
harvest, the low price of credit,
gradual expansion of industry and
dwindling unemployment augur for
steady progress toward prosperity.
The monthly reviews of banking in
stitutions and the midweek commer
cial reviews comment optimistically
on the general situation.
"The half year just ended brought
a distinct advance in business, with
nost of the gain in confidence and
actual transactions achieved during
the second quarter," K. G. Dun &
Co. say. "Despite various drawbacks,
recovery from previous depression
has been substan lal, if highly ir
regulr. Many inte:v.:. will -be more
active this summer, than was antici
pated. There is clearly more work
to be done this year and shutdowns
will be less general and extended."
Situation Satisfactory.
Officials of the United States treas
ury say the business situation
throughout the country is considered
satisfactory, in spite of the coal
strike and threats of some disturb
ances in the transportation field. The
federal reserve board reports retail
trade of department, grocery, drug,
tobacco and shoe stores in the last
three months has been better than
the average month of 1919.
Improvement in the middle west is
reflected in the record of Chicago
bank clearings. Clearings for June
increased about $375,000,000 over
June, 1921, but were slightly less
than in May, this year, which was
the high month since December,
1920. For the first half of this year,
clearings increased nearly $493,000,
000 over the corresponding period
in 1921.- June clearings aggregated
$2,481,274,663 and for the first half
of the year totaled $13,578,099,386.
Rail Earnings Increase.
Railroad and telephone earnings
also attest the expanding tendency
in business. Earnings reported for
May by 53 railroads show total op
erating income of $43,779,783, com
pared with $24,599,276. for May,
1921, an increase of nearly 78 per
cent. According to these figures,
net operating income for. all class 1
roads for May is- estimated at about
$65,600,000, equivalent to a return of
4.20 per cent on the Interstate Com
merce commission's tentative valua
tion of $18,000,000,000.
Reports of 72 telephone companies
for April show operating income of
$10,454,418, an increase of nearly 4
per cent over May, 1921. For the
first four months of this year, oper
ating income totaled $40,435,543, an
increase of more than 13 per cent
over the corresponding period in
1921.

Fargo, N. D., June 30. (By A. P.)
Defeat of Porter P. McCumber,
senior ' United . States senator from
North Dakota and chairman of the
senate finance committee, who
sought renomination on the repub
lican ticket, was indicated in returns
available at noon today from
Wednesday's state primary.
Unofficial figures from 1,515 of the
state's 2,064 precincts gave McCum
ber 65,890 votes, as against 67,541
polled by Lynn J. Frazier, Nonpar
tisan league choice, who was gov

he and two other league-endorsed
state officials were recalled last fall.
Dakota Primary Victory
for Nonpartisan League
Omaha lire Leased Wire.
Washington, June 30. The out
come of the republican primary in
North Dakota appears to be a vic
tory for the Nonpartisan league in
naming 4he republican candidate for
senator, former Governor Lynn J.
Frazier, but a defeat for the league
in the effort to regain complete con
trol' of the state government, to re
vive the original socialistic program
of state industries.
The defeat of Senator McCumber
for renomination may fairly be at
tributed, in part, to the revolt against
conservative statesmanship, mani
fested in the primaries in various
parts of the country and partly to
the dissatisfaction of the republicans
in North Dakota with McCumber,
who they thought had not aided them
in their fight to extirpate" the Non
partisan league.
Frazier, who was recalled from
the governship of North Dakota last
vpar is Wnmvn as a radical, but in
the senate he is likely to prove much
less radical than he is painted as has
been the case of Dr. Ladd, the first
senator put over by the Nonpartisan
league.
Senator Ladd said today that Fra-

son. The surrender was uncondi
tional. "
The free -state troops engaged in
the operations against the-irregul?rs
in Dublin were apparently . turning
their attention today to meeting the
insurgent measures in the outlyin ,
parts of the city, taking up position-,
in dozens of buildings ' here and
there, fortifying them strongly and
establishing observation posts.
The city is thus rapidly becoming
a huge fortress, with hundreds of
snipers firing almost continuously
and the peril to people in the streets
hourly becoming more acute.
Lorries Fired On.
Talbot street, where in front of
Moran's hotel two lorries containing
British soldiers speeding toward the
north wall were fired on by the mu
tineers shortly after noon today, is
becoming one of the greatest danger
points. The fire from the hotel was
maintained throughout the morning
in the direction of the Nelson pillar,
where the free staters occupy an op
posing position.
The irregulars, in their scattered
outposts, are displaying frenzied ac
tivity. In ' Marlborough street they
are occupying a number of houses
and have made them resemble fort
resses by cutting loopholes in the
walls.
The insurgents also are in occupa
tion of 12 hotels and a number of
public houses, school buildings busi
ness premises, etc. Several of these
are in Parnell square and other van
tage points in central Dublin.
The newspapers appeared this
morning, but in abridged form.
The street cars are continuing
(Tarn to Fare Fonr, rolnntn One.)
