The high prices which have prevail ed for small grains for the past two years have caused a good many more farmers to stack their grain than for many years past due to their desire to hold 1t aud not market 1t with ' rush as soon as thrashed- This will result in a brighter and better quality of grain which of itself will fetch higher price than that badly discol- ored. More than this. the stacking of the grain has made possible good prog ress in the blowing of the srubble and the heading of of a scad of weeds in next years fields

F. Grant. driving an Alec
car, today won the Vanderbilt cup
race. There were fifteen starters.
When Knipper. In Chalmers nm
ished the third lap first in 1850, 1t
was evident that the records were
doomed to go by the board. This
was shown to be true when Chevre-
lot, in Buick car completed tho
fourth lap in 9:57, setting record
for the course. Knipper in chal-
mers was second, SO seconds behind,
with Lorrfmer, also in a Chalmers.
third and Harding in the Apperson
fourth. The first car to go out OF the
race was the simplex driven by Mitch
ell, who was doing splendid work
until he broke crank shaft on thu
third round. Strang was out OF the
race, as some one threw brick in
his radiator. Hearns in Fiat drop
ped out of the race on the fourth
round with a broken crank.
Harroun's time in the Wwheatly
Hills stakes was hours. 10 minutes
81 2-5 seconds.
AT this stage there was very pro-
nounced drag and the monotony was
only broken by the announcement
that Knox in his Atlas, had gone off
the course at Hicksville and was hav-
ing difficulty in getting HIS car back
in the race.
Knox succeeded in getting his car
back into the going and received a
noisy welcome as he flashed by the
grand stand on the twelfth lap.

"All over America" Mr.. Kavanagh
continued, "the waterway idea is
growing, and with 1t is coming 3
new stimulus. a new development
which promises, cheaper rates aud
quicker and better transportation to
the whole country.
Everything which contributes to
the cheaper handling of freight in
creases traffic and advances prosper
ity. The history of the Great Lakes
stands glaringly before us as the
story of an enormous increase IN
traffic. depending upon three things:
the deepening of the channels, the
Improvement of the steamboats,, and
the establishment of the fastest and
most economical loading and un-
loading machines.
Many OIL us who believe strongly
in the future of the valley have al
ready incorporated and set about
building up large line to use the
most modern types of boats and to
erect at every city terminal docks OF
the best European type. In ten
years We hope to be carrying 100000
600 tons of freight"
Mr.. Kayanagh spoke of the efforts
Of Germany to deepen her water
ways which he contrasted with those
of America.
In conclusion, he gave glowing
description of what might he expect
ed upon completion of the waterway,
and said that New Orleans will be-
come the port of the whole Mississip.

port in America.

past; nor do We believe that this

Mr.. kavanagh said. 'Engingeea
have surveyed the route and have de-
clared deep waterway feasible and
easy of accomplishment. The best
civil engineers have declared it inev-
table" he said. Chicago has spent
$50, 100000 cutting the channel
through the rocky divide, and Illinois
lis spending $2O,OO0.OOO to step 1T by
blocks down to the soSt-bottom por-
ton OF the Illinois river" the speak
er declared. From there to the
Gulf the way is clear and the plans
are ready"
Mr.. Kavanagh said: "The people
will no longer tolerate the pork
barrel method of compelling the
government engineers to allot funds
for river Improvements, according to
congressional districts, nor will they
allow the development OF the great
est of their highways to depend upon
uncertain appropriations"
The speaker said that when con-
gress convenes this winter, 1T will
have to consider seriously for the
first time the great problem of the
conservation of water, which Pres:-
dent Roosevelt foresaw. and among
other things, the establishment of
some big central bureau, probably
a department of Public Works. to
undertake the entire control of our
running water.
But" said he, "the deep water
way must not wait for this. In flood
and in low water, a fourteen-foot
channel can be easily maintained"
Mr.. Kayanagh quoted President
Taft as having said that in order to
solve the transportation problem we
must have. recourse to our water
ways, and continued: THE problem
of transportation multiply with the
increase of prosperity, and the Pres
ident of the nation who is SO certain,
that waterways are the solution OF
our trouble is the very one who Is
most determined to lead us on to the
greatest increase of prosperity. Pros

production OF a resolution
NEW ORLEANS, La. Oct. 80
''The plan for a deep waterway is
an accomplished fact. What we
need now is action" declared w. K.
Kavanagh, president of the Lakes
to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Assocla-
ton. in his address at the opening
of its convention today. THE history
OF the Mississippi river has been q
story of inaction and OF niggardly APP
preparations by; which have been
fought through the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee, and through Con-
gress without rhyme or reason
lsaid the speaker: 1.-The whole valley
| is sick with the congestion of Its
transportation system. and only this
deep waterway can relieve 1t. The
people of the Mississippi valley must
have definite assurance that this car
rier Is to be completed at certain
date, and that date must not be
much more remote than the COM
lpletion of the Panama Canal"
Mr.. Kavanagh said that the peo-
pie looked TO President Taft for the
execution of the great task. He re-
ferred to the executives trip down
the river, saying:
He has seen the richest farm
lands in the world crumhling from
its banks, dissolving in It's waters;
he has seen levees that protect 3D.
600 square miles OF this rich alluvial
threatened by these oaving banks;
he has seen the remains of uncom-
pelted reyetments that have been
torn away by the the river. because
a neglectful Congress had not pro-
v!ded for their completion, and he
has seen thousand mile channel
Iunburdened by a single modern yes
sci. the docks of Its many cities I'M
marked by single installation of
modern terminal apparatus.
There was a day when the Mis-
Isissippf was considered an untamo-
BILE stream. which shifted its chan
mel and devoured Its banks at will.
Today We are able to show the Pres
ident OF the United States two re-
markable changes; one Of these is a
river which. in its most difficult and
most readily-shifting parts, has been
bound down by the engineers to a,
fixed channel. with permanent banks,
that has been forced to scour its own
bed, and permit the passing Of
deeper ships.
The other is a great garden land,
of soil worth from 500 to 5000 an
acre, capable OF producing in crops
every year enough money to pay
many times over the entire cost Of
producing 14-foot channel from
Chicago to New Orleans. and this soil
protected from waste only by those
same engineering devices which
have held the river in. Its fixed bed
and which make the deep waterway.
I'VE have shown him this, and now
We are ready to ask him to extend
the revetments which do this work
into every bend on the Mississippi
river. and to carry this deep water
way and the protection to farm lands
adjacent to 1t throughout the course
OF the Mississippi.
I'VE wish to so further than this
improvement. revetment and contrac-
ton. and to see some broad general!
plan adopted. which shall cover the
whole control of the water in the
river shall lesren fin Aoods anJ
