Will Mark a New Era.

~ GOD NEWS comes from
Washington to the effect
~ that many differences of
opinion which have existed
concerning the details of legislation
requisite for the restoration of an
American merchant marine, and
which have menaced the prospect of
getting any legislation through, have
yielded to conference and compromise
bright for affirmative action at this
session of congress.
We recently presented an abstract
of the shipping bill which is before the
senate and quoted from Senator Frye's
very lucid explanation Of it's provisions
poses to offer not more than $4,000, 900
IA year in inducements to American
citizens to go into the business of
ocean transportation by means of
ships built in American yards Of
American materials by American la
Dor, and manned, when ahoat, by
American crews underneath the
American flag at the masthead. We
now pay slsO,OoO,0o0 a year to foreign
ers to do this shipping for us.
Additional amendments to this bill
have been proposed and will, it is I'M
derstood. be accepted in both houses.
One of these gives the secretary of the
treasury authority to withhold sub
sidy compensation from vessels whose
owners enter into combination to
raise rates. to the disadvantage of
shippers and producers. Another will,
in case of a combination of American
ship builders to the disadvantage of
vessel owners, permit owners to buy
vessels abroad and yet retain the right
to subsidy under the main provisions
of the bill. The object of these
amendments Is obvious. and so is their
wisdom.
There Is some obscurity, which will
be cleared up. relative TO the status
under the bill of lake vessels running
from Chicago or other lake ports to
Liverpool or other foreign ports. But
otherwise the bill is now believed to
be a. nearly perfect in it's adaptation
OF means to ends as can be expected
prior to actual study of it's operation.
II has been safeguarded SO as appar-
emily to prevent injustice to any inter-
est while at the same time it's original
value as q stimulus to new enterprise
in American ocean navigation remains
unimpaired. Its enactment will marx
the beginning of a new and important
era in American commercial expansion.

OF maintenance of those committed
to penal institutions, and deducting
the income from fines paid for drum
kenness, the net cost is found to be
$316, 012.08. The large number of COM
mitments is due to the inability to
take advantage of the opportunity to
pay a fine, and herein the committee
of investigation finds an injustice. In
their view the system results in pun
ishing the innocent more than the
guilty. Mothers, wives and children
suffer in the absence of the bread win

amply able to pay escape practically
without punishment. There is only
one practical and economical way of

Sageh-usll Culture

Professor John A. Myers, former"
director Of the West Virginia Univer-
sity Agricultural Experiment Station,
has returned from tour Of inspection
of the Salinas valley with glowing re-
ports of the future of sagebrush cul-

take up such culture in connection
with stock raising instead OF fruit
growing it would be but short time
until the valley would be as famous for
stock as the Blue Grass region of Ken

will make it a valuable Commercial

A STRANGE CASE
A Man IN Prison for a Crime
He Was Not Charged With

For some days past rather curious
case has occupied the attention OF the
Supreme Court.
Since 1895 Joseph Della has been Occu-

been sentenced in Lincoln county for 20
years for the crime of rape. Attorney
MCGOWAN applied for his pardon on the
ground that he had been indicted for
murder and tried and when convicted it
was for crime for which he was neither
charged nor tried.
Della and a companion named Magroil
di had cabin at DeLamar, Lincoln Co.,
Nevada. Della slept in wagon box near
the cabin.

girl named Liza, was found dead by some
Of her companions in the wagon box.
