MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

The river has furnished some attrac-
tion to visitors, though there is less
marine activity now than there has
been in months. The cotton export
trq. season is over. and the scores of
steamers that line along the wharves
loading then have sailed. The naval
stores season is just opening up, and
the vessels that usually carry these
PRODUCTS have not yet begun to arrive
in large numbers.
still the strangers have found points
of interest along the river, and among
them have been the Ocean Steamship
wharves, the Merchants and Miners
vharves, the Seaboard Air Line ter
minals on Hutchinsons island, and the
Atlantic Coast Line terminals below
town. There is probably more life at
the coastwise liner Wharves than else
where at present, and these have had
many visitors. Not a few among the
strangers saw their first ocean vessel
on their visit to the river. AS the port,
through which a large portion of the
products of the Eastern South are ex-
ported to foreign countries, Savannah's
harbor attractions have not been least
among those visited.
Trading in sail tonnage is light IN
all trade, says the New York Journal
of Commerce. For case and barrel oil
tonnage to the Far East and Europe
there is little or no inquiry, and as
owners are not Offering their vessels at
the rates recently paid, rates are en-
tirely nominal. In general cargo ton
mage to Australia there was nothing
done and but little demand for vessels.
South American lumber freightS are
steady. For West India tonnage there
are very few orders, but rates are fair
ly we'll sustained. There are numerous
orders in the market for coastwise ton
mage in the several trades, and as
handy vessels are scarce rates are
strong. With steam tonnage it is the
same old story, no demand for tonnage,
owing to the scarcity of cargo at the
shipping points. Quotations are I'M

there are no records to show how much

State.

Decatur County Has Credit of

There is no distinctive "oat belt" in
Kansas as there is of most other crops.
One can draw lines on wheat and bar
ley and fax and on corn to a large ex-
tent, but can not be done so definitely
on oats. Oats are grown all over the
state and their production is pretty
well scattered. At the same time there
is a chain of counties across the state
from north to south, just on the east
border of the wheat belt, which are the
big oat counties. Some of these grew
more than million bushels this year,
and all grew more than half million.
If it had not been a poor year for
cereals in the southeastern part of the
state, a number of counties in that To-
cality would have shown up well in
oat production, as they had a large
acreage, but grain crops gave COM
paratively light yields in that part of
Kansas this year.
The total acreage of oats in Kansas
the past summer was LIPS, $50 acres, on
which grew Is, OPS, 729 bushels, an aver
age of % bushels per acre. The aggre-
gate value of this crop was 8,04z, 764. 06,
or about % cents per bushel. At this
rate the average value of an acre of
oats was 1914.
AS in all other crops this year, the
northwest exceeded all other portions
in yield. Decatur county gave an aver
1
cents a bushel, would be worth $1120
an acre. Cove county, which leads tho
state on both wheat and barley yields,
| comes second on oats with SO bushels
per acre, worth $1,000 an acre. Graham
| and Rush counties each yielded SO
bushels per acre, Sheridan gave 80
bushels, and Norton "a. The acreage in
these western counties, however, was
| small. Shawnee raised 5.352 bushels,
with an acreage of 100, $50.
| In total production of oats Sedgwick
county leads with 1,349, ia bushels. Sum-
ner, Marion, Washington and Dickinson
also gave more than one million bushels
Thirteen other counties yielded above the
half million bushel mark.
The list shows that line starting with
| Washington county on the north and
drawn south. passing through Clay
Dickinson, Marion, Harvey, Sedgwick an6
sumner, passes through all of the five
million bushel counties, so that this line
would be about the center of the "oai
belt" if one were mapped out. Adjoining
Washington on the west is Republic and
Cloud and on the east is Marshall. ant
adjoining the other counties further south
are Mcpherson, Reno. Harper, Butler AND
Cowley. These comprise all the leading
oat counties with the exception Of Brown

CRISIS AT LIS BON.

Early Date.

New York, Dec. 12.-Grave dissen-
sions have arisen in the Portuguese
cabinet, according to Herald dis
patch from Lisbon. A crisis in the min
istry has been latent for some months
and is expected to manifest openly
lIpon the return, about January 1. of
Don Carlos from Villa ViacoSa.
The state of health of Luciano de
Castro, chief of the Progressistas, or

make it impossible for him to entertain
the idea of putting himself again at

will therefore in all probability fall to

GAVE RENEWED vIGOR.
Proceedings of Irrigation Convention
Prove Satisfactory.

Garden City. Kan, Dec. 12.-For the
past two days the Western Kansas
Irrigation association has been in an
nual session here and has been one of
the most progressive conventions ever
held in Kansas. More interest was
manifested at this meeting than in
any like meeting in the state for years.
The people of western Kansas are de-
manding that the rightful share by
virtue of the irrigation act law belong
ing to Kansas, be expended in Kan
Eas for experimental purposes. The
people i'll the upper Arkansas valley
are demanding that the government
experiment in tapping the undrefiow so
that It may be made certain to the peo-
pie whether or not this water can be
brought out by gravity or otherwise,
and in what probable quantity. When
this experiment is made and shows a
success capital stands ready to do the
rest.
Two sessions were held on Wednes-
day. John H. Churchill of Dodge City
addressed the convention on the Past
and Present of Western Kansas"
Senator F. Dumont Smith addressed
the convention at length in the after
noon on the relation of the Kansas
Colorado suit.
The people of western Kansas are
behind Senator Smith, and request a
decision at as early a date as it is pos
sible from the United States supreme
court on this question.
Thomas Loynd of Rocky Ford ad-
dressed the convention on sugar beet
culture which is one Of the coming
crops Of the valley. The delegates IN
the evening were entertained at the
auditorium by a basket ball game, con-
tested for by the two teams consisting
of the young ladies of the Garden City
high school.
Thursday morning the convention
was addressed by President Nichols Of
the Agricultural college of Manhattan
on irrigation topics and moisture il
soil culture. J. c. Starr of Scott City
delivered an address on ''Sheet Water
Irrigators.' Before adjourning at this
session the officers were elected for the

SWINDLED LAWYERS.
shrewd Man Induces Them to Cash
Bad Checks.

New York, Dec. IA PROSPEROUS
looking man giving the name of Gott-
man and bearing with him a touching
tale of domestic infelicity, has found
a profitable field for the accumulation
of ready money among the shrewd
lawyers of the East side. These men
of legal gift are said to have shown
great Willingness to part with sums
ranging up TO $50 in exchange for bad
checks and refrained from making the
tale public until someone told it on his
partner as a joke. Then reports OF
Gottman's operations came from many
leading law offices along East Broad
way, showing that the swindler had
been acting for several weeks on the
same plan.
Gottman's scheme was to visit a
lawyer and retain him in an action for
divorce, after telling of his troubles at
home. AS a retainer he offered an ap-
| parently good check for 800 and asked
for change, which always was forth
coming in cash. Gottman never came
back but the checks always did, and
they were Cancelled as being worthless

sum before the swindle was exposed

editorially:
"a New York paper, in a telegram
from Washington, states that Senator

1.-The senator from New York, yea,
both senators from New York, and
many senators from other states, rep

party, know too we'll that this defec-
ton exists, has existed for more than
three years, and for the last two years
it has spread like a virulent, eating
ulcer, until it has Slapped the vitality

there is danger in New York state to

Speculative Sentiment Increased.

New York, Dec. 12.-The activity and
irregularity of the stock market this
week have represented an improve
ment in speculative sentiment. al
though the profit-taking and occasion
al setbacks have left the net results
small. Traders felt disposed to avoid
large commitments pending the COM
pIetion of the annual settlements. The
possible effect of the expected decis-
ion in the Northern Securities case is
considered. Extraordinary showing in
our foreign trade for the two months
past is the ground for an underlying
confidence, which has its effect upon
speculative sentiment.
