GOOD FOR NICARAGUA CANAL
Senator Turpie's Defeat Will Help the
Great Engineering Project

BY the apparent defeat of Senator Turpie
in Indiana the Nicaragua canal has won a
decisive victory. The big ditch had many
opponents In the senate, as matter Of
course, but most OF them were among the old
southern state rights Democrats, who based
their opposition largely, if not entirely, upon
constitutional theories, their speeches being
so dry as to produce little or no interest.
Senator Turpie, on the other hand, was in
deiatigable III his opposition, and his speech
in opposition to the canal has been the
source from which' his colleagues who
thought as he did drew most of their inspira-
tlon. He laid some stress upon the constr
tutional question, but he attacked the con-
struction of the canal itself and the compo-
sltion of the company which secured the con
oession, bringing to bear multitude of facts
and figures which seriously exposed some of
the engineering difficulties, and at the same
time cast suspicion upon the good faith OF
the promoter. At one time, when the
canal was on the point of winning in the
senate, Turpie's attack was so vehement as to
force postponement and the practical
abandonment of the scheme until the next
session. With him out of the way the
Nicaragua canal scheme should have plain
sailing in the senate, in view of the fact that
the Republicans are assured of an over
whelming majority
Senator Turpie not only relied upon argu
ment, but was sufficiently well up in tiIibus-
tcring tactics to force a delay time after
time, and he was given to long -wnded
speeches at critical moments, and always in
voked the courtesy of the senate in his own
behalf His reelection was dreaded. and
his defeat is now being rejoiced over by the
friends OF the great engineering project

experience of the war has been of the great
est Importance to the nation.
The one defect of the war was found in
the carrying of troops and the handling OF
supplies of the campaign.
The navigation bureau recommends that
congress must increase the naval force to
&c, 900 men for general service and send 1000
apprentices, and more armament is neces-
sary.
The report recommends the passage of
house bill No. l043l, which also carries with
it an increase of 80 in the number of line and
engineer officers and 100 machinists, all very
much needed.
The report does not enlarge upon the ne
cessities of the service in regard to the per-
sonnel, Captain Crownnshield believing
that the department and congress are so well
acquainted with the requirements OF this
detail of naval organization that the state
ment of the bureaus will be all that is needed
to secure the action of congress.
A tribute is paid to the general work Of
the naval militia, in manning the coast de-
fense ships and the vessels of the auxiliary
naval force, and furnishing material for
crews for the auxiliary vessels serving with
the regular fleet The bureau recommends
the passage of the Cummings bill, which
provides in substance for appropriations for

one quarter of those who employ the facil-
tiles of the postal departments of civilized
governments speak, as their native tongue,
English, two-thirds OF those who correspond
do so in the English language.
This situation arises from the fact that
so large share of the commercial business
of the world is done in English, even among
those who do not speak English as their ma
tive tongue. There are, for instance, more
than 10000 postofticcs in India, the business
OF which in letters and papers aggregate
more than 30O0OO,OO0 parcels in year, and
the business of these offices is done chiefly
in English, though of lndia's total popula-
ton, which is nearly 300000,OO0, fewer than
100000 persons either speak or understand
English.
Though 90,00O,000 speak or understand
Russian, the business of the Russian post
department is relatively small, the number
o. letters sent through the cars empire
amounting to less than one-tenth the num-
her mailed in Great Britain alone, though
the population of Great Britain is consider
ably less than one-half of the population of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Far out of the
lines of the ordinary annual report of the of
fcers is that of Captain Crowninshield
chief of the bureau of navigation, navy de

ne member of the war strategy board, but
he was responsible for the execution of the

of every crew. Consequently no bureau of

IRON ORE EASILY QUARRIED
Rich Surface Deposit Is Discovered in
Newfoundland

A st. Johns N. F., correspondent who
has just paid visit to the new iron mine
at Belle Isle, Conception bay, describes the
deposit as the most extraordinary of the
kind in the world. There is no gaping shaft,
no tall chimney, no putting of steam engines
or clanking of machinery. About 200 men
were at work upon the surface of the
ground, scattered over a. considerable area
some with pickaxes, shovels and barrows
putting the ore into wagons; others drill
ing, by steam or hand, holes into the bed of
the ore, which were to be charged with
dynamite.
Instead of mine it is an open quarry
of red hematite iron ore, which is detached
from its bed far more easily than stone in
quarry. The ore lies in horizontal stra-
tum three miles in length and more than
quarter of mile in breadth, and is about
five feet in thickness. This bed is covered
on the surface by about two feet of rock.
This is just stripped off, and sections of
the ore laid bare. Then, by blasting, masses
OF the ore are detached and long terraces
are formed, rising in shelves above each
other, and in these the men 90 to work
with crowbars, pickaxes, wedges and
shovels. AT certain intervals along these
terraces the steam drill is at work, or the
sedge hammer or jumper, making holes,
which. when charged with dynamite, are
exploded by electricity.
On penetrating this first stratum of ore
a bed of rock is reached, some three or four
feet thick, similar to the surface rock.
When this rock stratum is pierced another
bed of iron ore is reached of about the
same thickness as the first. For anything
yet known there may be third iron ore
stratum underneath this bed.-American

MILK WILL GO UP
NO PROFIT TO THE DEALER AT
PRESENT PRICES
Association Of Los Angeles Dairymen
Is Forced by the Price Of Feed to
Raise Its Scale

The Association of Los Angeles Dairymen
met at Odd Fellows hall last evening and
discussed the price and supply and demand
of milk.
President j. S. Starr presided, with II. &.
Hamilton acting as secretary. The first
t,siness coming before the association was
concerning the relation of the association
with the health officers, and it was decided
that all interference on the part of the board
of health had been justified, and in the long
run had resulted in benefting the seller OF
good milk. Reports from the board showed
that the present standard of milk sold in Los
Angeles was very high compared with that
retailed in other cities.
The question of milk supply was started,
and it was the general consensus of opinion
that but few dairymen could get milk enough
to more than supply their customers, and
that the supply would decrease from fifteen
TO twenty per cent within the next month.
c. L. Shattuck and George f. Platt showed
how the price of feed had increased to $l6
per ton for alfalfa and feed meal to 1914 per
ton. This increase in the price has not been
met by any marked increase in the price re-
ceived for milk. This has operated so much
to the disadvantage Of the dairymen that
out of $50 dairymen in the county at the be-
ginning Of the year only 80 remain, the
others being forced out of business. The
number of cows in the county was shown to
be small, many having been killed for meat
by reason on the high price for feed. There
is practically no pasture, and if rains come
within week the grass will not be sufficient
before a month or six weeks.
For these reasons it was decided, with one
dissenting vote, that the schedule price for
milk, as governed by the association, will
be- One pint for one month, $3.50; one
quart $780, quart and half, 1913; two
quarts, S.; all over two quarts, 1925 per
quart.
1t was resolved that before the next meet
ing, which will be held at l2l South Broad
way, November 28th. all dairymen be mott
fed of the raise in prices.
AT the next meeting the question of the
grocerymen who retail milk will be dis
cussed Last evening it was the opinion of
those members present that the issue would
be best met by raising the wholesale price
of milk to the grocerymen to such price
that their competition need not be feared
in regard to the success Of the new schedule
of prices.
