EMPlRE.-INLAND COMMERCE.

Vitebsk, Russia, Oct. 21-A mighty
project which is expected to rev
olutiopize the commerce of Russia
had its inception today when, with
elaborate ceremony, the first shovel
of dirt was thrown to begin the
canal which will connect the Drina
ril er with the Dnieper at this place
and Orsha. The Gar was represent
ed by members of his personal
staff and a spade of solid goll was
used in the ceremony. In addition to
uniting the Drina with the Dnieper,
the project will eventually involve
the Joining of the Drina with the
Volga, by means of canals and the
Obsha. Mesha, Moskva, Okla and Wa
rusa rivers. This will give great

The new transportation system Is

or $40 acres of land classed as non
agricultural Some OF the latter Is
rough and some is very fair land. In
the Choctaw and Cherokee nations
the toughest class of lands will be
found, while in the other nations OF
the five tribes there Is very little
mountainous country.
AS a basis to get at the value OF
the land, the government has fixed
the price as double the price that the
land was classified at when allotments
were made several years ago. The
best agricultural land was classed at
$3.50 an acre, and some of the regu-
lar land sold as low as so cents an
acre. This will make the average
price about from 500 to $1S an acre.
These prices will not be standard,
however, and this classification Is
made merely to determine the actual
value.
Muskogee will be headquarters OF
the government during these sales
and information regarding the land
will be furnished by the commissioner
of the five tribes.
Following is the amount Of land to
be sold in each of the five nations:
Creek nation, $1,000 acres; Semi
mole nation, 3,44S; Choctaw nation,
$4,000; Chickasaw nation, $4,000;
Cherokee nation, $4,000.

STARTS CAMPAIGN
TO EDUCATE SHIPPERS.
Aim Is to Correct Evils in Pack
ing Freight.

In furtherance of its campaign to OBJ
tain better packing of articles offered
for shipment over it's lines, the Penn
sylvania railroad will distribute thou
sands of copies of the pamphlet Just
issued by the department of commerce
and labor, entitled Packing for Ex-
port"
The Pennsylvania has in the last
two year been adopting every possible
.expedient for reducing the number of
damage claims by shippers. 1t esti-
mates that last year it paid out $685.,
900 on claims due to poor and insecure
packing.
The many complaints received from
consular agents that American eX-
porters do not pay sufficient attention
to the packing of-merchandise for ship
ment to foreign countries has caused
the department of and labor
to issue a pamphlet describing in de-
tail the so-called packing evils. These
booklets will be distributed to the
roads shippers.
Railroad managers estimate the
freight loss and damage in the United
States to aggregate $40, 900, 900 yearly.
Many reports show large consign-
ments of goods practically ruined be-
cause of inadequate packing. For in
stance, out of 1000 bags Of cotton seed
meal shipped to a European port, 500
were badly torn and damaged because
of inadequate wrapping.
The Pennsylvania has recently en-
deavored to educate shippers by talk
ing parties to freight stations to see the
poor condition In which packages are
received. This campaign of education
is to be extended to cover the entire
railroad.
