Referring to the termination of the
conflict an official Of the American Com
pany said to representative Of the AS
ISOLATED Press: ..:
TT is the first combination, to my mind.
on right lines, and one that assures real
unity Of interests where powerful Amer
lean and English concerns go out hand in
hand to seek the trade of the rest of the
world. It has been difficult matter re-
quiring the most careful consideration.
THE negotiations have been proceed
ing since Aug. 10. 1t was subject which
could not be discussed in the press while
they were in progress, but now that they
concluded, have decided to issue
an authoritative statement to head off
garbled accounts. Personally think the
lines on which this combination is formed
are destined to affect the larger field of
general Anglo American commercial re-
lations.''. - -.
The official announcement shows that
the amalgamation of the British and
American interests takes the form Of a
new company, to be known as the British
American Tobacco company, in which
both the Imperial and American compa-
MES are represented. - .:
The American and Imperial companies
agree to respect each others domestic
trade while the British-American Tobacco
company will compete for the trade Of all
the rest of the. world. The papers were
finally signed to-day. The new company
will be registered in London on Monday.

Eau Claire, Wis, Sept. PA marvel
Gus railroad accident happened on the
Omahas west bound train No. last night
between Fall Creek and Altoona The
train was running at least fifty miles an
hour when one Of the driving rods on the
engine broke loose. This caused the
wheel to SWerve and break releasing the
driving rod on the opposite side. This
itself broke and one part of the trucks ran
at least mile free from the engine.
One rod smashed the steam chest and
the forward part of the engine and cut off
the ties for a long distance. The other
rod smashed the engine cab on the fire
mans side to pieces. Fireman Gausteen

Before the train stopped of it's own
accord, the engine cab was knocked from
the track by the rods. The loose wheel
tore a hole in the ground into which six
men afterwards jumped at time. The
train was enveloped in steam and the
brakes would not work. The passengers
were terrified and shaken up. Only the
engine left the track, however. Conduct

ABOUT rs EARTHQUAKES
Some Damage Done to the Tehaun-

. Mexico City, Sept. 27.-Advices from
Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus Of the
Tehauntepec National railway which is
being rebuilt by the English contractor,
Sir Westman Pearson states that Tues
day seventy-five shocks Of earthquake
were felt An immense lotion crane
used on the construction of the break
water was thrown from the track into the
bay. majority of the smaller cranes
are also reported to have been thrown
out Of place.
It is probable that the construction OF
the artificial harbor will be delayed sir
months, as the crane was thrown into
deep water and it will require time to re
cover it.

states, show that in the past three years
enough water was turned into the heads
Of bitches during the irrigation season to
cover the land irrigated to a depth Of 4.45
feet; or, stated another way, 4.45 acre
feet of water were taken from streams
for every acre Of land irrigated
A large part of this water supply was
lost in: transit through seepage- Meas
urements at the heads Of laterals showed
an average loss in the main canal Of IL
per cent Measurements at the margin
Of fields on six large canal systems showed
that only AZ per cent of the water turned
in at the head gates was delivered to
farmers. This large loss shows that, in
the direction of better construction of
distributing works, great Improvement is
possible
Another interesting table shows the
value Of the crops grown for each acre
foot of water used. They vary from $l.32
to 1922 an acre-foot, water bringing: the
least return when used on alfalfa and
the largest on nursery stock. Crops that
require irrigation in the last half of the
season have a far greater value than those
which require irrigation in the first half,
the average value per acre Of crops 1rr1-
$685. While those in the first
half have a value OF only $3.50. AS
rule, this late season water can be Sc
cured only through storage and the cost
of reservoirs has to be charged against
the extra value of the crops. Experience
shows, however, that the storage pays
farmers and will increase largely the pro-
ductive value of irrigation lands. - - -.
"Arid Land' Produces Crops. ~ H.,
Arid land crop conditions in central
Montana heretofore unknown to~theT de-
partment of agriculture, were discovered
by MIR. Mead. He found much larger
areas Of arid land there with crops in sue
cessful growth than he had ever supposed
possible In majority of seasons, he
says, crops can grow on these tracts
without any irrigation and with very lit
tie water, much less than is usually re-
quired for growing crops. The area in
volved is along the mountain slopes south
| and east of Great Falls Mont. The de-
| partment of agriculture regards the dis
! covery of these arid land conditions as
| important and cooperative work will be
undertaken by the government. 1t Is
purposed to study the means available to
save the water supply from the noun
! tain slopes. The government work will
be under the direction of Professor For
tier, the director of the Montana agricul-
tural experimental station. Similar non
irrigated arid land crops are grown In the
Milk river valley in Montana and in many
/ ma rts Of the DakOtaS. -

HIGH COAL PRICES
The Barons Say They Will Protect
Consumers From the Rapa-
cious Retailers.
Coal Will Be Put on the Market
After the Strike at the
Regular Price.

From Tho Journal bureau, Room, %, Posi-
Building, Washington.
Washington, Sept 27-Announcement
is made In Philadelphia and New York
that anthracite coal operators have made
a combination to protect consumers from
mercenary retailers, and that as soon as
the strike is over coal will be put upon
the market at the usual price, the retail
ers being required to consent to dispose
of stocks at that price before securing
supplies.
lin this way, the operators hope. to show
that the oft-repeated story that they
wanted a strike in order to reap large
profits is false.
In considering what might follow the
opening of the mines, it was said that the
operators concluded that if coal were sim
ply turned upon the market, speculation
might keep the price at a high level for
several months after the strikes terml-
nation and that the retailers would be In
no hurry to scale the prices down This
led to an agreement to check the retail
ers
There is a feeling here that the strike
will come to head quickly after the cleo
ton. The price of coal in Washington
to-day is higher than it has been before in
the history Of the city except when in
1864, the confederates blocked the lower
Potomac Coal then went up $40 a ton
but as soon as the blockade was released
it went back to the normal figures.
The postoffice department coal supply
will last only a week longer. Superin-
tendent Baird Of the state, war and navy
building has been obliged to purchase soft
COAL Wood has doubled in price and the
dealers in oil and gas stoves have trebled
and sometimes quadrupled their orders.
Washwomen are the heaviest sufferers.
Some Of them are begging money from
their customers to buy coal.
