feet in length. The projectile was shell
Is inches i'll diameter and feet in length,
containing a charge of 500 pounds of wet
gun cotton, the whole, including the shell,
weighing 1850 pounds. The claim of the
inventor was that with a charge of 80
pounds of powder, his shell or torpedo
would disable, by the defamation of the
wet gun cotton, any battleship in exist
ence at a distance of $500 yards. The
target used in the test was a Kruppized
steel plate, II inches thick, backed by >
feet of steel. To the rear of the target
was a bank of sand s feet high and GO
feet long. The gun was located 500 feet
from the target and the powder charge
was reduced in the test. so as to repre-
sent the distance of $500 yards. When
the shell struck the armor plate, the lat
ter remained uninjured, while pieces of
the shell flew in every direction. Two
other tests We're made and while the tar
get was cracked and otherwise damaged,
the experts are of the opinion that the
impact of the shells did the damage and
not the composition entering into them.
Gathman, however, declares tae asser-
tons of the experts to be false. lie says
the cracking of the plate was caused by
that had the target been a battleship, no
human agency could have stopped the in
coming water and the explosion of the
400 pounds of gun cotton Mould have kill
ed everybody on board

NICARAGUA ROUTE FAVORED.
Isthnian Canal Com mission Makes Its
Renort to Conpreas.

The report of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, as predicted several weeks
ago, favors the Nicaragua route and
makes an estimate of $1S9, S64 ,O62 as the
total cost of construction of the cana
through Nicaragua.
The estimated cost Of the Panama
route is S144 233, 1913, but, the report
says, it would cost $109 141 600 to obtain
the Panama concession. The commits
sion values the work done at S40O00,0O0
The report says the Panama route Is
feasible as 4 sea level canal, while the
Nicaragua route must be by locks, but
Lake Nicaragua will furnish an mex
haustible supply of water for the canal.
The Nicaragua route has no natural har'
bors 1T either end, but satisfactory har-
bors may be constructed. Harbors al
ready exist at each end of the Panama
route. but considerable work must be
done at the entrance of the harbor on
the Atlantic side.
With adequate force and plant the
commission estimates that the Nicaragua
canal can be completed in six years, eN-
elusive of two years for preparation. Ten
years is estimated to complete the Fan
anna route.
The total length Of the Nicaragua route
is 1886 miles and the Panama route
1900 miles. The estimated cost of OPP
Grating and maintaining the Nicaragua
canal annually is 81 $4,000 greater than
that Of the Panama canal The estimat
ed time for a decp-draughL vessel TO pass
through the Panama canal is twelve
hours ana through the Nicaragua canal
thirty-threc hours.
The Nicaragua route. the report says,
is more advantageous for commerce save
that originating on the west coast OF
South America. For the gulf ports the
advantage is two days and for most Of
the ports on the Atlantic and Pacific one
day. The Nicaragua route is said to be
better for sailing vessels on account Of
favoring winds. Hygienic conditions also
favor Nicaragua.
The commission says the United States
should acquire control Of a strip of ter
ritory ten miles wide from sea to sea
through which to build the canal. The
consent of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
mSst be obtained to construct the canal,
but the report says this can be secured
easily. The concessions granted by the
Colombian government 10 the Panama
Canal Company have many years to run.
and new concessions cannot be granted
the United States.

braska and Chief Statistician Powers of
the census bureau were among the promi-
nent agriculturists who were heard dur
ing the convention. Secretary Wilson
addressed the delegates on the subject of
''rhe Value Of Live Stock to the Farm
en-" Mr.. Powers preceded him with a
report of the net result of the census on
live stock, which was taken last year
under the auspices of the association in
classified form. Mr.. Morton talked on
"Oleomargarine Legislation"
A number of important subjects came
up for discussion. The association asks
for an Endorsement Of its fight in oppos-
ing the policy of State sanitary boards in
imposing a reinspection and fee on inter
state shipments of live stock after it
has been inspected by a federal official.
The matter is now before the Supreme
Court of the United States. The associa-
ton holds that federal inspection is sufli-
cient.
Another important matter was the dis
cussion of a bill to provide for the feder-
al inspection and tagging of wooden
goods, so as to prevent the sale of shoddy
and waste as pure wool; also a bin pro-
Agriculture, whose department shall be
the live stock industry exclusively Means
for the eradication of poisonous plants
on ranges and a plan amicably to settle
the question of limited grazing on forest
ranges came up fer consideration.
The formal exercises opening the big
international show at the great union
stock yards took place at the Dexter
Park pavilion. The addresses were by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Gov.
Yates, Mayor Harrison and r. W. Hall
of Texas. The attendance at the exposi-
ton far exceeded the expectations of the
management, more than $4,000 people be-
ing present each day The exposition
grounds and buildings were thronged, and
the car lot exhibits in the stock yards
proper were attended by even greater
crowds Many OF the prize winners at
the last international show again com
peted for honors.
The great live stock center Us the coun-
try, the union stock yards of Chicago, are
abundantly equipped for doing the enor-
nous business called for. The valuation
of live stock receipts at the yards lasI

Wheat got over 80 cents in Chicago, the
highest price of the year. Corn is near
40. Only twice in twenty years has il
been as high. Oats for May delivery
sold at 461s cents, the point from which
their price descended back in 1884. Pork
has gone as high as Sir Thomas Upton
put it in his corner of a year ago. Lard
was selling for half as much, almost III
cents pound for May delivery. The
whole provision list was at the top
prices of the year.
This buying of grain has not been con-
fined to the Chicago market. according to
a dispatch from the Windy City. All over
the West elevator men, storekeepers and
farmers have been busy buying for days.
The provision market holds up strong,
and all kinds of live stock are bringing
good prices.
The men of the West have been work
ing for six months for a bull produce
market. They had the rich professionals
against them for months, the Chicago
correspondent says, but they kept up
their crusade for higher corn and oats
and pork and wheat until the present
prices have been reached.

ARIZONA'S AM BITION.
Her Citizens Now Demanding Admis-
sion TO Statehood.


sion TO Statehood.
The citizens of Arizona are making ev-
cry effort to get the favorable attention
of Congress to their appeal for admission
to statehood. They point out the Won
derful development of their country, its
increase III population, the construction
of new railroads and the establishment
and encouragement of schools and pOpu-
lation as sound and sufficient reasons
why they should be admitted to citizen
ship. New Mexico and Oklahoma are
also demanding admission into the sister
hood of States
The population of Arizona has greatly
increased in the decade 1S90-1900 rising
from 59.260 to 10, 1871. The material
development of the territory has kept
pace with the increase in population.
Some of the richest copper regions of the
country have been developed and are
now putting out ores worth many mill
ions of dollars annually. Besides the
copper, gold and silver ores there are
valuable deposits of the rarer metals
which are being worked to profit.
The arid climate of Arizona has been
one of the obstacles that the homeseeker
has had to contend with and the absence
of water for mining purposes has serious
ly interfered with work in many of the
valuable mines. 1t is a problem that the
people do not consider beyond their abil-
ity to solve however, and one of the
greatest works of the present time is the
construction of an immense storage resor-
voir that will cost several million dol
lars and furnish water to a large dis
trict. The climate is such that the pres
ence of water in abundance makes it
profitable to raise the semi-tropical fruits
and vegetables that have proved so yalua-
HE in other sections of the country.
