ICE EMBARGO. ON THE
GREAT LAKES At. AN END
.r ----- ----.-.-- - ~ ss$fIy54
------
Giant Vessels Once More Ply the
Midland Seas Growth of 9
y Shipping, *=.

Duluth, Mimi, April 2s.--Now that
navigation on the Great Lakes has re-
opened, these. inland waterways are
again thronged with mighty vessels. For
the past four months the icy grip of
winter has kept the hundreds of ships
engaged in lake traffic prisoners in the
harbors. This lost time must be made
up in the eight months to come.
A good deal of the size of the traffic
on the Great Lakes during the season
of navigation may be gathered from the
fact that, according to statistics COM
piled by government engineers in the
Lake Superior district, Duluth, a port
more than 1000 miles from salt water,
stands next to New York in respect to
mean monthly freight movement. Last
year the freight brought in and shipped
out of St. Louis bay amounted to 22,-
676,145 tons, valued at $196, 75l ,5S3, and
amounting to 34,2S5,OOO feet. The
average monthly value Of this com.
merce was nearly $25, 100000, so that if
there were open navigation all the year
round and the monthly record were
maintained the total would be about
$300,000000. These shipments and re-
ceipts represented an increase OF 6,059,
1913 tons, or 3646 per cent, over: the
total Of 1904, and an increase in cash
value amounting to $39, 9,5l8,374. -.,>}-
Compared with, 1895 last year shows
how tremendously fast the northwest
has been growing, for ten years ago the
of the Great Lakes amounted to but
6,325,351 tons, with a value estimated
at $95 100000. In these ten years the
receipts per ton were more than
doubled, while the shipments per ton
increased at least four-fold. :. g.

HARRIMAN'S YACHT H..
Z. " WAS ADRIFT AT SEA
Sultana, with Prominent Southern Pa
cific Steamship Officials Aboard,
Picked Up by Fruit Steamer.

New Orleans, La, April 2S.-An an
nouncement was made by the Southern
Pacific today that the yacht Sultana,
owned by E. H. Hartman, which was
towed into the mouth of the river by
the United Fruit company's steamer
Appomattox. having been picked up at
sea with her boiler blown out on her
trip back from Colon, Panama, will be
towed to New York by one of the Gal
veston-New York steamers of the line.
It was decided not to attempt to re-
pair the yacht here. s1.tE,z
On board the Sultana were Vice
President Julius Fruttschnitt Of the
Southern Pacific, General Manager G.
w. Jungen Of the; Southern Pacific
Steamship lines and others. Mr.. Fruit
schnitt was taken up the river on a
tug to Avondale, where he boarded his
special car for Chicago. Having come
frop an infected port, he was not per-
mitted to land here.

ELEVATOR RED TAPE
AS It Binds in Washington, and An
noys with It's Binding.

Washington, April 28.-The tribula-
tions Of the conductors on the elevators
in the state, war and navy building are
many. There is as much etiquette on
one of these cars on a. busy day as one
would find at one Of the big dinners
at the White House.
The approach of the secretary Of
state, Of war or Of the navy in the di-
rection of one of these ''lifts' is sig
nailed by a peculiar clapping of the
hands by all the messengers or veter-
ans who guard the approaches to, the
building ,s:@ 49, r. ~,;jT ~. = Z; #
So, at the sound Of "three bellsn on
the push button "a, secretary call), no
matter who is on the elevator, be he
an admiral or a general, the lever is
reversed, down or up it goes, as the
indicator reads, and the secretary is
carried at once to the floor of his des-
tination, for there is no stopping at
the floors to take on or let off any
body else. e
Now comes the time when the keen
discretion of the conductor-his remern-
brance of faces and his knowledge Of
ranks Of army and navy officers and
their precedence-is brought into play.
neral of General Schofield, the building
was alive with. officers in full dress
uniform on their way to st. John g
church to attend the ceremonies. A ma
jor of cavalry from Fort Myer, Vir-
ginia, having business at the quarter
master S department, was on the eleva-
tor and was being shot up to the third
floor, when ssthree bells'' announced
the secretary, of war at the ground floor.
Down went the elevator. The secretary
and the major saluted, and before the
salutation was over two bells''' rang
meaning that an officer Of high rank
wished to ride in a jify.
The secretary, of course, was Z { it,
and was first ushered out at the second
floor. Then up flew the elevator. TO the
fourth floor to answer the 7" two bells, !
to- take on a brigadier general whoSde
sired to descend, to the street floor
More. salutings by the major. Down
shot the elevator. The brigadier de
parted, and the major, who had beer
carried past his destination twice, now
breathed a sigh Of relief, but just ther
| tstwo bells' rang again on the secon6
floor, and this time the chief of staff
with the rank of lieutenant general, go1
aboard, and down the major went again
salute and all.
After the chief of staff went, the
ever-polite conductor, turning to- tht
Junior officer, and observing his ranl
and insignia, said: "Maior, what floor

/ lated officer, fbut the next time I wan

Washington, April 2s.-Unele Sam.
wants Portland cement and wants II
badly. With twentyfour big lrrlga-
tion projects under construction, re-
curing hundreds of thousands OF bar
rels of cement, the engineers are lind
ing it next to impossible to obtain any
thing like the quantity needed. The
unprecedented demand for this commod-
ity all over the west has already over,
taxed the capacity of the mills, and
almost without exception the govern,
ment's requests for bids are turned
down. Apparently no manufacturers
west of the Mississippi are able to sup
ply new orders. In reply to inquiries
from the government they state that,
owing to the unusual demand, new or.
ders cannot be accepted for several
months to come. Recently proposals
were requested from eight manufacture
ers and dealers in cement for 1900 bar
rels required on an Idaho project. Only
one proposal was received and that was
at rate so per cent higher than the
firm would have sold few months ago.
Still later invitations for bids for sew
eral thousand barrels were sent to
twenty three dealers. Again but one
firm submitted bid, and this was near
" so per cent higher than the normal
profitable rate of sale by this firm.
Other attempts to purchase cement have
been similarly unsuccessful.
The reclamation service is gravely
concerned. 1t has let contracts for
structures involving millions of dol
lars, and failure to secure cement as
needed, entering as it does so largely
in the work, will be disastrous. Owing
to the inaccessibility of many of the
government works, the transportation
of cement is difficult and costly. This
was particularly the case in Salt River
valley in Arizona, where the great dis
tance from existing mills and the ex
pensive wagon haul, made the cost pro
hibitive After making thoro investi
cation of the cost Of bringing in cement
for the Roosevelt dam and Other
structures, the government erected itt
own mill and for several months past
has been turning out daily hundreds OF
barrels of frst-class cement at a price
far below the cost Of cement shipped
in. It is known that materials re
quired for manufacturing cement o1
good quality exist near several Of the
other projects, and private parties
would do we'll to embrace the oppor
tunity to 90 into the business. From
the present outlook. however, the gov
eminent seems to have choice .:
shipping from the far eastern seaboar(
or from Europe, or Of manufacturing
its own cement.

Former Senator, Who Is Regain
ing Wealth, Predicts Ne
braskan's Nomination.
By w. W., Jermane.

Washington, April 2s.--Former 4Sena-
tor Pettigrew of South Dakota, passed
thru Washington this week on his way
back to New York. He made flying
trip to Sioux Falls, his old home, and
has now returned to New York Tor an
it is straining point to regard Mr..
Pettigrew any longer as a South Da-
kotan, altho he himself still declares
that he is a legal resident of that state.
His business interests are all in the
east, and he is rapidly becoming rich.
On a conservative basis, 1T is claimed
that he can now clean up several times
panic which had not little to do
with taking him into the silver repub-
lican party, and from there into the
ranks of the discontented and disaps
pointed elements, Of the country that
always are in evidence during panic
times. :. ..ls 4ngt.@
aIhile in Washington, Mr.. ~Pettigrew
was asked who, in his opinion, would
be the democratic nominee for the
emphasis, and without moment s hesi-
tation: .t-...< e.. n~5 s>@
Will Be Conservative. :.
"Bryan! He will be nominated on
what will then be termed a conserva-'
tive platform, and he will represent
the more conservative elements of his
party
It requires a lively stretch of imagin-
alton at this moment to see Mr.. Bryan
as a conservative, and yet there is
said here to be a good deal Of founda-
tion for the opinion expressed by Mr..
Pettigrew. With Hearst and the other
ultra radicals forging to the front,
Bryan may well pose as a conservative,
altho as compared with any generally
accepted definition Of that word he
will still be looked upon by many peo-
pie as a misft.
| Some of Mr.. Bryan's friends in
| Washington who have been hearing
from him during his trip abroad, and
who knew about his general plans be-
fore he went away, say that his study
of public ownership in Europe, which
is to be made: at first hands, and with
as much care as possible, will bring
him home an advocate Of that owner
ship in a limited way. He is expected
to stand for government ownership, or
operation Of railways, and his friends
expect him to modify his position as
to state ownership. :. |-;s -. 49,. -
Will Accept Hepburn Bill.
He will stand for municipal owner,
ship Of quasi public utilities, and in a
national way for. government regula-
tion of railways, express companies
telegraph companies and telephone
companies. In general way, it is
expected that he will indorse the 'Roose:
| velt position as to railways and accept
the Hepburn bill, should it go thru the
senate without amendment. : Qm the
railway question, it is claimed that he
will not be as much Of a radical as
Senator La Follette .. .,>. -
il It is not yet known just what part
i; if any, Bryan will take, in the coming
q views will be fully formulated il 7time
for an announcement ahead of the fall
elections: Some think that he! viii de-

i til the elections are over, thus enabling
him to- make his declaration harmonic
