ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-By the election
of E. S. Conway of Chicago as perma-
nent chairman and w. F. Saunders of
st. Louis as secretary the nrst step
toward the permanent organization Of
the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways
Association was taken late this after
noon at the first days session of. the
waterways convention at the Odeon.
Congressman Henry T. Rainey of Illi-
nois, who addressed the convention to-
day. said that this country has been
divided into spheres of influence by
seven great railroad groups. which do
not infringe upon one another's terri
tory. -
I'VE cannot regulate freight rates by
legislation he continued The only
way of improving railroad rates Is by
opening our great national waterways
to commerce by making the channels
navigable by boats capable of carrying
thousands of tons of cargo"

row the report of a committee appoint
ed to prepare an address 10 the pub

To G.. w. Norton, an old resident of
Arizona, should be given the credit of
exploiting the irrigation scheme from
Laguna dam. He attempted several
years ago to enlist capital in the work,
and it was his idea tc take the water
out of the river near Ehrenberg. The
work that the Government is doing at
the Laguna dam is almost incredible.
There are several locomotives dragging
long trains of rock and gravel along
narrow levees, camps are pitched on the
mountain sides, rock crushers are busy
and two concrete walls, both nearly one
mile long. have already been built.
Sixteen miles below Yuma Cory has
his camp on the California side. He
and his assistants have just brought
the river to obey the will of man and
have also built big concrete intake

ants are essaying the task thirty-two

Never before in the history of the

On these two reclamation schemes and
the railroad there are now employed
nearly 5000 men. Cory has the more
picturesque camp 1t is on Mexican
territory, and the vast horde of In

Engiishmen and Swedes are kept in

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Harri-
man lines make a better report for
September than any of the other i'm
portant roads which have reported
both gross and net earnings for that
month, with the exception of the Rock
Island. In respect to the volume of
gross earnings, their showing was sim
liar to the September record of the
railroads generally, namely, that their
gain was much less than the average
Union Pacific gained $4,000 in gross
in September, as compared with $685..
GOO in August and $S35,000 in July.
Similarly the Southern Pacific gained
but sS32,o00 in gross. as compared with
$1,120,000 in August and more than
$1.000,000 in July.
But the showing of the Hartman
lines is radically different in the mat
ter of expenses. In proportion to gross,
both Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cifc show lower operating expenses
than in September, 1905, contrary to the
records of all but a few of the large
systems. These results contrast par
ticularly with the performances of the
one case substantial gain in gross
was wholly wiped out by the higher
costs of operation.
The most recent addition to the Har-
riman group, Illinois Central, fits in
admirably with this record. In fact it
surpasses the other two roads, having
made radical reduction in the operat-
ing ratio for September and a substan-
tial reduction for all three months of
the new fiscal year.

the Southern Pacific makes the best

Not only does the gain in the gross

STRIKE OF PIPEMAKERS
RAISES PRICE OF THE BRIAR

NEW YORK, Nov 15.-Advices from
London say that smokers of pipes are
threatened with an increase of so per
cent in the price of briars. This is ow-
ing to combination of circumstances.
The chief cause is strikes in the two
great pipemaking districts, ST. Claude
and Nuremburg, which have prac-
ticalIy stopped the output for three
months.
There has also been a scarcity of
good briar in Italy, which produces
the best roots.

A DELICATE QUESTION

According to the statements of the
Southern Pacific people, the Imperial
Valley district is at present the third
largest shipper in the southern coun-
try. If the Colorado River had not
been turned into its old bed the whole
district would have been submerged;
ten thousand people would have been
made homeless and a sea would have
been formed.
There now arises a delicate question.
Who is responsible for all this?
1t is claimed that few settlers have
lost their farms through the agency of
the flood, and il is now known that
twenty-five men intend to bring dam
age claims against the republic of Mex
leo for allowing La Sociedad de Irriga-
cion Terrenos de Baja California to
tap the river on Mexican soil and divert
the entire river on to the desert.
1t is also claimed that these men
cannot make good their claims, but
that the real sufferers We're the South
ern Pacific and George w. Durbrow-
the Southern Pacific because it had to
change its tracks more than once and
then has had to spend several million
dollars in diversion work and George
w. Durbrow because the salt works
were swept out of existence.
Whether these claims of the land
owners viii ever be pressed is not
earnest and said to oe advised by law
yers that they will have a good stand
ing in court If this is the case there
will come before an international tri-
bunal nice subject for discussion.
The claims against the neighboring
republic will not, however. so take up
the time of the farmers as to prevent
them from going ahead with the work
of improving their holdings Work that
hnan hoc
menced. numerous sales have already
been made and Imperial promises to
live up TO its name.
In this valley there are 10000 acres
of cultivable land, and If a population
of 10000 has come into existence in
this territory within the space of Ave
years what will IL be in twenty?
OTHER RECLAMATION SCHEMES
Then it must be remembered that
this is not the only territory that will
be put under water. The Government
at Laguna. sixteen miles north of
Yuma, is at work on a gigantic irriga-
tion project and has appropriated the
sum of $4,000. 900 for its construction
Out OF this sum $3.50, 600 is to be ex-
pended upon the dam, which is being
built across the river, and the rest upon
the main canals and their laterals
Twenty thousand acres are to be put
under water on the California side
$4,000 acres on the fiat lands about
Yuma and $4,000 acres on the mesa
The ella River on the Arizona side is
TO be crossed by an inverted siphon
There is to be a ump at Yuma and
another pump at Ivalon.
The story is told at Yuma that the
reclamation service viewed the Imperial
canal project unfavorably because it was
the intention of the Government to
bring Imperial Valley under irrigation

ment engineers declared many times
