COST OF WATERWAYS
PLAN OF CONSERVING WATER
POWER SUGGESTED.
Would Put Tax on Power Furnished
to Consumers and Restrict
Construction Permits.

Observation-Disclosures every section of
as well as general interest in the prelim-
mary report of the National Waterways
Commission, submitted to Congress to-
day. This preliminary report recon-
mends, among other things, Il general
plan of conservation of water power,
with the shaping of projects in the light
of future needs of streams, resort to
Federal and State legislation, rather
than to unnecessary channel improve
ment merely to enforce reduction of rail
road freight rates, with inhibition. on
the other hand, of manipulation of such
rates to freeze out water competition, a
uniform system of distribution of cost
of waterway Improvement between Fed
eral, State and local governments, avoid
ance of multiplication of ports, r~estric-
ton of dam construction permits, inau-
guration of such water projects only as
can be completed within a reasonable
time, a Federal tax on power furnished
the consumers, reservation by the gov
eminent of power to alter or repeal
power rights.
The commission holds that the Fed
cral government has no proprietary right
or interest in navigable waters which
would authorize the collection of tolls.
1t believes that each consent to construct
a dam should provide that the grantee,
whenever necessary to subserve naviga-
ton interests, must construct and fur
nish power for a lock suited to the local
ity and to probable traffic developments.
The most essential requirements for
the rehabilitation of water traffic is as
serted to be the ishm of har-
mOniOus relations between railways and
water lines. In practically every case
of water routes the boats are operated,
the report says, in connection and in
harmony with railway lines. The com
mission believes transportation facilities
will be still further promoted by COM
pelling Joint rates and prorating agree
ments, through bills of lading and physi-
cal connection between rail and water
agencies, separate warehouse and ter
minal systems for railroads and water
ways being often a waste of capital.

FIFTY MILLION ROYALTY
WOULD PAY THIS SUM FOR
COAL PRIVILEGES.
Proposition L. Made-Would
Net $4,000 an Acre.

Waskington.-A new and somewhat
sensational factor appeared suddenly
Tuesday to add to the intensity to the
already sufficiently excited situation
over the Alaskan coal lands, on the eve
of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation.
John f. Ballaine, of Seattle, said to be
the largest individual property owner in
Alaska, made a proposition in writing to
the senate committee on territories, offer
ing to the government a royalty of fifty
cents a ton on coal mined, for the lease
of so 900 acres of some of the choicest
coal lands in Alaska, in the Katalla and
Matanuska districts. Such a tonnage
royalty would net to the government,
Mr.. Ballaine claims, amount as high as
$4,000, 900 per hundred acres.
This proposal contemplated a radical
departure from past practices in the
governments disposal of the Alaskan
coal lands, and it comes avowedly to do
battle with any proposition embodied in
yet introduced, designed to permit the
sale or lease of such lands at a rate of
$40 per acre.
1t is said that the general features of
the plan have the approval of officials
high in the administration and of infu-
entail members of both houses of con-
gress, including some of the prominent
insurgents and Delegate Wickersham of
Alaska.

ASK BAILEY TO DEFEND LEE
Texas Senator Will Defer to Vir-
ginians to Answer Hepburn.

Washington.-From Texas and other
Southern States Senator Joseph w.
Bailey is receiving kilograms inquiring
if he intends to answer Senator Hepburn
of Idaho, h offered objection to the
acceptance of the statute of Gen. Robert
i. Lee, which has been placed in Statu-
airy Hall of the capitol of the United
States as one of Nirginia's contributions
to the Hall of Fame.
By common impulse, Senator Bailey
seems to be looked upon as the one to
administer the rebuke which the Idaho
senator has merited for his own display
of bitter sectional spirit toward the
South and the survivors of the COnfed-
eracy. Senatorial courtesy enjoins Sena-
tor Bailey to defer his own feelings in
the premises to Senators Daniel and Mar
tin, of Virginia, both of whom are eX-
pected to address the senate in reply to
Senator Hepburn. Senator Daniel has
rot been i'll the senate since the Christ
mas holidays, and the impression is that
he has devoted some of his time during
his absence from the chamber to prep
~aratiOn of Il speech in answer to the
Idaho senator. No man in the senate
is more capable of presenting a just pic
ture of Gen. Lees privte and military
life than Senator Daniel, who is one of
the surviving heroes of the Army of
Northern Virginia.

ARMOUR TALKS MEAT
INCREASE PRODUCTION AND
PRICES WILL FALL.
5000, 900 Less Hogs Slaughtered
the Past Season Than the
Year Before.

Chicago.-J. Ogden Armour, at his
beautiful country home, Armouria, dis
cussed the present prices of provisions,
the cause and the remedy.
You can eliminate the meat packers
from the situation entirely" said Mr.. Ar
mour, and the high prices will remain.
The prices are high by the laws of ma
ture and natural laws cannot be changed.
The best we can do is to comply with
them. Increase production and prices
will fall.
The situation as regards the cost OF
living has become serious in this cOun-
try, extremely serious" said the head of
the great packing industry. The prices
of foodstutfs nave climbed upward until
they nave passed all reasonable bounds.
The cause is not difficult to find, and it
is most important that it should be RENE
died. Tho explanation is simply that the
consumption of food in the United
States has Overtaken production. The
result has been inevitable. Prices have
gone up.
The price of beef to the retailer has
advanced only one-half a cent a pound
in the last year-that is to say, the
average price per pound for the whole
carcass. The advanced cost of hogs and
sheep has been very heavy. 1t was only
a few days ago that we bought live hogs
at the rate of nine cents a pound. Think
of that. Such prices as these have been
unheard of for many, many years.
And yet at these prices there are few
er hogs offered than when we paid less.
haven't the exact figures at hand. but
approximately 100000 less hogs were
slaughtered in the last packing season
than for the year preceding. Surely; if
the farmers had the hogs they would
send them to market"

TREASURY HONORED LEE.
Postofdce at Newport News Was
Closed on January 10.

MISUNDERSTANDING that the Gus
tom house at Newport News, Va, had
been closed during January 10, the birth
day of Gen. Robert E. Lee, with the eX-
ception of two hours, with permission of
the treasury department, Secretary Mac
Neagh Monday sent to the senate a COM
munication in response to the Hepburn
resolution calling upon the secretary for
information.
Secretary MacVeagh stated that the
closing was authorized on the represen-
tation of the collector at Newport News
that as the day was a State holiday,
most of the business houses in Newport
News would be closed. He added that it
customary to grant permission to
close custom houses on State holidays
to the extent that public business would
permit.

BELLE SACRIFICES SKIN.
Saves Life of Child Burned Almost
to Death.

Atlanta, Cain order to save the life
of little Estelle Williams, Miss Alberta
Lively, a beautiful 2O-year-old society
girl, allowed great strips of skin to be
torn from her body and grated on the
little girl.
EStelle Williams was terribly burned,
the injuries refused to heal, and the sur
geons decided the child would die unless
fresh skin was grated on the burned
places.
Volunteers were called for and Miss
Lively, among others, offered. She was
chosen because of her Astounding vitality.
Miss Lively was put IN the operating
table, chlOrofOrmed and enough of her
skin removed to cover the burns of the
little girl. The operation was entirely
successful, the healthy skin of Miss
Lively is healing the burns of the little
girl and Miss Lively is recovering. Both
Miss Lively and the little girl are on ad-
joining cots in the hospital, and a great
affection has sprung up between them.
A Carnegie medal will be asked for Miss
Lively.
