New York, Oct. 19.-Walter Well
man and the crew Of five men In the
big dirigible airship America when
started from Atlantic City at o'clock
Saturday morning, were found In dis
tress and picked up at sea S7o miles
on the North Carolina coast by the
Royal Mail Steamship Trent. The air
craft was in sight shortly before
o'clock, hundreds Of miles outside ner
course, where she was lowering near
the water with her crew still In the
Rondola. Jack Irwin, the wireless
operator, was at his post in the life
boat suspended below the gondola but
evidently tired OF calling for relief,
after having been 4S hours out OF sight
and touch with land or steamer even
by the magic Of his wireless, mad
ceased to work his instruments saving
his battery for the last &c. @. D."
Thus 1t was that the Trent travelling
out Of the line OF |coasting steamers
sighted the big airship and signalled
her before the exhausted and practi'
cally hopeless Wellman and his crew
knew that succor was at hand.
Answered Wireless Call.
Jack Irwin lost no time In respond
ing to the wirelss call from Operator
Louis Ginsberg Of the Trent and told
aiim that the airship was In distress
and that the crew wished to abandon
It.
Then followed the strangest and
most dramatic scene ever witnessed

NORTH COAST WILL
BUILD FEEDERS
Survey Made on Both Sides
of Columbia Accord
ing to Strahorn.

Spokane. Wash, Oct. 10.-A net
work of feeders north and south
through the Inland Empire connect
ing at various points with the main
line, which will exceed the mileage
between Spokane and Seattle, and
which will traverse some Of the most
fertile c6nutry in Washington, is to
be built by the North Coast railroad.
President Stfahefn today admitted
that surveys have been made on both
sides or the Columbia river to the
head of navigation from point on
the Columbia river not far from Bos-
ton, on the main line of the North
Coast. He also admitted that two
surveys have been made from Cow
creek to Davenport. The first sur
vey follows the banks of the Col
umbia to Vulcan, where they follow
the Great Northern to Wenatchee.
At Wenatchee the surveys continue
to hug the river to Brewster, along
the proposed Great Northern extern
sion.
That the north and south line
from Davenport to Walla Walla will
be extended north to the Columbia
river, and that the line will be con-
tinued through the fertile valley of
the Columbia to Kettle Falls was not
denied by President Strahorn.

Last year Wenatchee lost the first
prize at the National Apple Show for
the sole reason of water-core. Il
the fruit had been picked at the
proper time, this disaster would have
been averted Water core means at
least 20 per cent deduction from the
price of box of apples. If half the
crop of the valley should be affected,
it would deprive the growers and ul-
timately the entire business of the
community of 100000.
On the other hand, the grower
must have help to pick and pack his
crop. Not one-fourth enough help
is in the valley to meet the absolute
demands of the situation. 1t is a
matter which is vital to the entire
community. What shall be done
about it?
Ii has been suggested that the
schools be closed for period of two
weeks in order to make it possible
for the pupils to assist in the har-
vest of Wenatchee's great crop. A
teachers institute is scheduled to
take place in the near future. Dur
ing that time it is customary to have
a vacation of at least one week. II
| that event could be arranged at this
time, it would work in nicely with
the needs of the hour. A report on
this matter will be made tonight.
The invitation of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce to join in its
excursion to the Hawaiian Islands
next February will be read and ar
effort will be made to induce a good
representation from this city.

FACTIONS WAR
At MOSES
LAKE
Pettigrew Serving Warrants
for Criminal Trespass
Making Fight.

Hostilities at the lower end of
Moses lake are rapidly approaching
a crisis. Yesterday the employees of
iSenator Pettigrew constructed four
wire fence covering four or five acres
and completely surrounding the two
parties of men at work on the dam
site.
The Pettigrew attorneys, includ-
ing Graves. Nicer & Graves. of Spo-
kane, Daniel T. Cross and James
O'Sullivan of Ephrata, were busily
engaged all day yesterday in the pre-
paration of legal papers and this
morning warrants were served for
the arrest of the men at work there
in charge of the opposition as GRIM
| inal trespassers. These men We're
unable to bring their teams and ma
chinery out of the enclosure without
mutilating the fence. Their pres
ence in the enclosure or their in
Jury to the fence would constitute
criminal trespass.
Pettigrew Has Prior Right.
The contending faction is not the
Milwaukee interest, as stated Satur-
day, but H. l.. Hollister, of Chicago,
the former partner of Senator Petit
grew in the purchase of the Moses
lake project. He has allied him
self with Ham, Yearsley, Ryrie &
Phillbrick, real estate firm of Spo-
kane These parties own project
of 10000 acres lying % miles south
of the lake. These people filed a
water right on the water flowing
from the lake in order to use it on
their project. but their filing was
made six days after the Pettigrew
filing and they began their work
three days after the Pettigrew oper-
ations. Both were within the three
months limit required by law
Senator Pettigrew has another adj
vantage in that he has riparian
rights, holding a deed to all the land
on which the work must be done to
control this water.
The sentiment of the property
owners at Moses lake is decidedly in
favor of the Senator Pettigrew con-
tention for the reason that he will
use the water for the development
of the lake region. The HOLSTER
Spokane people desire to convey the
water a distance of 25 miles, to dis
trict in which the Moses lake prop
erty owners are not interested.

NEED Of HELP IS
REAL PERIL

Is the help question serious enough
to justify closing the schools for two
weeks?
Is 1t necessary to pick all winter
varieties of apples at once in order
to save the valleys crop from water
core?
These are two vital questions of
the hour which will receive thorough
discussion at the regular monthly
meeting of the Commercial Club this
evening.
The apple crop is now being pick
ed, packed and marketed. 1t is of
vital moment to the entire commun-
ity that the grower receive the high
est possible return for his years
work. To aid him in doing so a
large part of the time at the meet
ing tonight will be devoted to the
consideration of the problems which
he is forced to meet at this time. He
must solve them rightly or suffer
losses which in the aggregate will
mean hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to the valley and all the people
doing business in this city and val
ley.
Inspector Darlington is quoted as
saving that even Winesaps should be
picked at once; that some of them
are water-coring already.

course the one with weak teeth can

Dame doesn't smile quite so cheerfully
on them.
You know. children and adults must
use the teeth and grind freely to make
them grow strong and to preserve
them. Then the act of chewing brings
down the much needed saliva from
the gums, and that helps amazingly in
the digestion of foods of various

lover two hundred railroads are
interested in this contest, while trar-
dc men representing something IKE
three hundred commercial organiza-
lions of the larger cities of the central
west are exerting all their power to
defeat the contentious of the railroads
because they feel that the proposed
increases are not warranted by the
financial condition of the roads as
shown by their reports to the inter-
state commerce commission.
THE railroads are having their
inning now, but the shippers are quite
confident that they can prove to the
commission when the proper time
comes that Notwithstanding the in
creased cost of material, supplies and
labor, the railroads of the central
west, as well as those of the whole
United States, have been able to pay
larger dividends on the stock out
standing, and on a greater portion Of
the stock than ever before, and after
meeting all obligations and maintain
ing their roads in better physical con-
dition, have accumulated larger sur
debt have been greatly increased in
the past few years. Ten years ago
about 10 per cent of the outstanding
stock of the railroads of the United
States received no dividends, while
today, with a large increase in the
stock issues, only about 80 per cent
did not receive dividends. The aver
age rate paid has also increased per-
haps 10 per cent to IL per cent. The
funded debt upon which fixed interest
charges must be paid before dividends
are distributed has likewise increased
something like so per cent.
President Ripley stated that the
Santa Fee paid last year approximate
ly 6 per cent on its entire capitaliZa-
ton which aggregates 1919, 900, 900.
He commended, however. that his COM
pany should be permitted to earn 10
per cent to IL per cent instead of 6
per cent. .
This is doubtless but the beginning
of the greatest contest in railroad his
tory between the carriers and the
shippers. The railroads are lighting
for existence and the shippers are
bending their energies to prevent

Thought little consideration should be
given to the value of the property OF
the carrier or to the cost of the ser
vice rendered in determining what a
reasonable rate should be. He SAID
that there never was better denm-
ton of a reasonable rate than what
the traffic will bear'-not necessarily
all the traffic will bear but that which
will permit the freest possible move
ment of commodities with the least
possible burden on the producer and
on the consumer.
"Mr. Ripley contended that improve
ments should be paid for out of cur
rent earnings, while the shippers ar
gued that such expenses as that of
$500, 200 for refining the Ration tunnel
should be distributed over number of
years and a share of the burden borne
by future generations which will en-
joy the benefits of such improvements,
and the total cost should not be paid

FEED IN ARKANSAS VALLEY.
Colorado Changes Its Shipping Points
on Santa Fee.

The dry weather conditions in north
ern Colorado and elsewhere in the west
have forced cattle and sheep men in
the sections affected to seek new feed
ing grounds for the coming fall and
winter The Arkansas valley will have
the bulk of this business. The valley
has yielded immense crops this year
and the farmers therein are prepared
to share their abundance with their
less fortunate neighbors at a hand
some profit. The three and four crops
of alfalfa have furnished sufficient feed
to meet heavy demand, and the prod
uct now is selling in the stack at from
IS to SO ton. There is plenty of
other feed in the valley, including kat
fir corn, millet, maize, sorghum, and
sugar beet tops, the latter not the best.
but satisfactory in an emergency.
Farmers close to Santa Fe shipping
points from La Junta east into Kan
sas are building temporary feeding
quarters for the accommodation OF
stockmen in the dry territory. The
alfalfa acreage in the Arkansas valley
is increasing rapidly.
