millions OF acres now unused in this
section, particularly in Montana, ac-

the Northwestern live stock and grain
show at South st. Paul last night.
Prof. Shaw's subject was Cattle
From the West. His talk was brim-
ming with optimism for the agricul-
tural possibilities Of Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Montana He argued
that, the popular belief that the rapid
disappearance Of the big ranges and
their absorption for farming purposes
would cause rapid decrease in the
amount of beef put on the market was
entirely unfounded.

Should Be No Failures In NJ. ..
There need never be such thing
as a crop failure in North Dakota IL
the farmers could understand the need
for alienation OF crops" he said.
more corn should be raised there and
consequently, much more beef. The
soil is being steadily impoverished by
the raising of small grains, while the
growing OF corn in alternate years
would conserve the moisture and make
failures thing OF the past.
IT believe that in the near future
cattle raising will be carried on to a
much greater degree throughout the
entire northwest than at present, and
South st. Paul is the logical market
for the bulk of the output Of Mon
tana and the Dakotas."

will admit of navigation by all Sec

while nearly 400 miles of the Chesa-

great proportion of the nations fa-

with the lost Of the most central of
all coaling stations. Deprived Of this
central base of operations, the ships
of our navy would be driven to seek
facilities, fuel and shelter in either
extreme northern or southern ports.
Not only could hostile fleet with
lmpuaity pass Fortress Monroe, but
a hundred-five hundred-troopships

Gated.
In possession of the peninsulas of
the Chesapeake, and the landing of
a large army, the enemy's position
for flank maneuvering would be most
advantageous, and the American
army sent to repel them might find
itself between the enemy's force on
land and the dead lines" across the
peninsulas wht1h would be raked
by the hostile ships in our rivers.
With such a disaster to our present
standing army confronting us, who
can say what. devastation might not
be wrought or what strategic ad-
vantages gained by the invading
nation? Who can confidently deny
the possibility Of not only Baltimore
and Washington, but the cities of
New York. Boston, Philadelphia and
in fact all the ports of the Atlantic
Saobard being laid under the ban of
heavy reprisals-pending the period
of army training of raw material?
The likelihood of any one nation
landing a force sufficient for wide
spread or permanent invasion, is of
course remote, but it is readily con-
ceivable that in the first stages of
hostilities, suddenly precipitated, our
own land forces might suffer an over
whelming disaster. while concerted
invasion by several powers at this
point, would seriously endanger the
cities, defenses and facilities of the
entire Atlantic and Gulf coast line.
The formation OF these western
peninsulas by the James, York, Rap
pahannock, Potomac and Patuxent
rivers, but a few miles between them,
presents a startlingly vulnerable
point of attack and possible invasion;

the necessity for which obtains be-

important Of all strategic situations,
and because, with the proper fortifi-
cation of this point, fewer battleships
in the event of war would be here re-

Some idea of the strategic value
Of the Chepapeake Bay for operation
in case of war may be CLEANED from
the fact that within its entrance
there are 700 miles of water naviga-

BILE for vessels of 20 feet draft; 425
miles for ships drawing 25 feet, and
nearly 400 miles which may be trav-
ersed by ships of 80 feet draft. The
II or 1S foot channelway admits
small naval fry, such as torpedo boats
and destroyers, gun boats and other
vessels of light draft. The 2O-foot
