Purpose to 'sRetain Their Fair Share
 of Business.''


 of Business New York. Feb. 20.-Judge E. H Gary. chairman of the United States Steel Corporation. issued statement in which he said: "The leading n1anu- lecturers of iron and steel have deter mined for the present at least to sell at such modified prices as may be necessary in order to retain their fair share of the buSiness.'
 The Steel Corporation was organized in 1901 largely as a. result of the price war of 1900. in which the price of steel billets went down from $33 a ton to $17 within six months and rails from $35 to $26 Ever since it's organization the corporation has been studying influ- ence on prices. and this announcement that it will hereafter depart from ob- serving any schedule is taken to imply that another price war threatens.
 The Street yesterday was full of rumors of radical reductions made in advance of Judge Gary's statement. A report that the Carnegie Steel Com pany had cut steel bar $4 a ton was followed by a report from Chicago that structural steel was cut $7 a. ton and from Pittsburg that tubes were quoted from $10 to SIP a ton lower.
 One hundred and Seventy-nine thou sand nine hundred shares of Steel common were sold on the Stock Elk change yesterday. It opened at 49A and closed at 4Sss, the net change be- ing 1ss off. Steel preferred lost a point, closing at 112.

1t is announced that, during the
holidays, those interested in legisla-
tion looking toward the providing of
immediate funds for the reclamation
projects will hold a conference and
decide on line of action.
The following is from an interest
ing Washington dispatch which ap-
peared in yesterdays Denver Repub-
lican.
Senator Jones today conferred
with Speaker Cannon with reference
to legislation to raise additional
money to facilitate the construction
OF government irrigation works.
"The speaker did not commit him
self, but indicated a preference for
the issuance of certificates of indebt-
edness. rather than an issue of bonds.
He said he would insist that
whatever money was raised should
be reimbursible from the reclamation
fund. and that money SO raised should
be applied exclusively to projects al
ready begun.
Furthermore, he said such legis-
lation should be referred to the ways
and means committee. and suggested
that those Interested confer with
Chairman Payne.
1T is proposed that all those in
terested in this legislation shall get
together during the holiday recess
and agree upon some plan of legisla-
tion which will stand the best chance
of passing, and then enlist the presi-
dents support.
Senator Jones believes, II this is
done and some practical plan adopt
ed. the speaker will not place any
obstacles in the path of its passage. .

Members of the expedition state
that they found navigation via the
Green river much more feasible than
they anticipated. They believe that
no difficulty will be experienced in
establishing light draft packet line
that will handle successfully the
tourist and freight business of the
Grand canon, and will open for set
tlement $4,000 acres of the most val
liable fruit land in the world. includ
Ing plenty of available land in the fa-
nous Moab district.
The investigators found that there
has been very little frost in the
Grand canon, and on November 26
picked Strawberries at Moab.
The people of Moab gave the expe-
dition a grand reception, and were
enthusiastic over the news that the
building of boats for the packet line
would probably begin within two
months.

the members of the party as one OF

1t is planned to establish numer-
GUS camping places along the river,
with hotel accommodations, so that
tourists may be able to stop over at
any point they wish. The ultimate
plan will be to get the river improved
for navigation from Moab to West
water. so that tourists going west
wishing to take the side trip can take
the boat at Westwater and go to
Green River. and those on their way
east can take the boat at Green Riv-
er and go to Westwater.
