INVITATIONS SENT RAILROAD
COMPANIES OF COUNTRY
TO MEET SURVEY.
COOPERATION IS WATCHWORD
Scheme to Gather Facts as to the
Amount of Water Flowing in Riv-
ers Under Certain Conditions and
at Different Times.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Direc-
tor George Otis Smith, of the United
States Geological Survey, has invited
officers of the leading railroads of
the country to conference on CO.
operative plan by which it is expec-
ted the railroads will be able to save
thousands OF dollars year, The plan
also contemplates most effective as
sistance to the Government on the
part OF railroads. The time and place
of the proposed Conference is to be
agreed on later,
The scheme, which has already
been approved by number Of the en-
gineers OF the big lines, is one for the
gathering OF facts as to the amount OF
water flowing in the rivers of the
country under certain conditions and
in different periods OF the year Ma
turally, the railroads have been chief
sufferers from floods in the basins
where their tracks lie. They have
suffered not only from damage to
their own property but they have
been sued by other corporations and
private citizens on the ground that
their bridges and culverts we're the
causes of food damage, The rail-
road authorities have felt that many
judgments against the roads might
not have been rendered if they had
been able to produce authentic figures
on floods. But they have not been
able to do this. The National Con-
servation Commission has been ad-
vised of the proposed plan and what
ever results come from it will un-
doubtedly be considered by the Com
mission at its joint meeting with the
Governors of the States or their rep
resentatives, here next December
The Survey suggests that the rail
road companies establish cages on
their bridge and culverts and appoint
some Of their employees to take dai-
ly readings The Survey agrees to
have its experts make frequent visits
to these station and take actual cur
rent meter measurements so that ra-
ting table of each channel will be
available.
For many years the survey has been
studying the difference in the flow of
rivers in various basins in the coun-
try. AT present it is engaged in put
ting the information gained by its
study into shape for the use Of the
National Conservation Commission,
together with other information which
Il is gathering especially for the in
ventory Of the country's natural re-
sources that the Commission is pre-
pairing.
The Survey has been unable to ex-
tend its observations to many regions
where the information would be Of
vital Importance becarse II lacks
funds. The cooperation Of the rail
roads would permit the Survey to CO.

EUROPE HAS BIG

MARKET.

There is no activity in the wheat
market, says the West Coast Trade,
ih's week. Continued excessive arriv-
ais from this country and Argentine
have surfeited European markets for
the present, and there is no present
demand, while a gradual sagging in
quotations has been one of the inevi-
table attendants of the situation. Lo-
CaIly business is practically at a stand
STILL
|, The absence Of export inquiry is ac-
companied by a strong position on the
part of interior holders, who show no
anxiety to part with stocks which have
been held through a period of much
higher values than those at present
prevailing, and the limited wants of the
mills readily absorb such stocks as are
forced upon the market.
Exporters are devoting attention
largely to the dispatch of business al
ready worked on foreign account, and
are rapidly clearing out spot stocks at
tidewater, which will practically wind
up the season, with probably ten or a
dozen cargoes yet to be dispatched
practically all of which have been pro-
vi led for.
Owing to light offerings, and the
rominal position of the market, prices
have not responded to the general
weakness to any extent as yet, and
quotations are maintained at 74c for
bluestem and SIC for club, but the pre-
MUM paid by the mills is not so great
