Plainly About Waterway.

Captain w. G. Clark, who is fight.
ing to have the Delaware and Rari-
tan Canal opened to free commerce,
has written the following open let
ter to Governor Wilson on the sub
ject:
Honored Sir:-On the surface II
may appear impertinent for an anna
teur like myself to call your imme-
date attention to the State of New
jerseys most wondTous natural and
artificial advantages, over all other
states on the seaboard, not even ex-
cepting the Empire state, New York
as a vivid illustration of this fact
by commencing at it's boundary line
neal Piermont, N. Y, and noting the
superb stretch of water frontage in
land along the noble Hudson River
to New York Bay, thence along the
New York Bay to Staten Island
Sound, thence along the Staten Isl
and Sound to South Amboy, N. j.
thence following the Raritan River
up as far as Princeton, thence by
waterway advantages to the Della
ware at Trenton and thence to Bor-
dentown. thence back across the SUI
perb C~rosswicks Creek and fat coun-
trytry to the Cheesequake Greek
back to the Raritan Bay near South
Amboy, which is now known as ShiI

YOU State in a position to reap 9
golden harvest from New York's
vast expenditure of over 800, 900,

State of New Jersey would then by
a comparatively small expenditure

Also, please note the magnificent
possibilities of the improvement of
the Delaware River above Trenton to
It's headwaters; also the improve
ment of the Passaic and Hackensack
Rivers, and last but mt least the i'm
proVement of your great connecting
water links known as the Delaware
and Raritan, the Morris & Essex
Canals to meet the requirements up
on them.
Whyl my dear Governor Wilson,
1t would be suicidal for the state of
New Jersey to abandon a single rod
of the Delaware and Raritan, the
Morris and Essex or any other part
or parcel of New Jerseys magnih-
cent waterway system unexcelled in
this world; for coal carrying or 9TH
er essential transportation purposes.
This stubborn fact should not be
lost sight of in dealing with the wa
terway problem, that is, railroads
have never and never can supercede
canal or water transportation In
n~eatness, cheapness OF dispatch in
moving vast bulky products, and well
the modern railroad bandits are con-
vinced of that pertinent fact. With
the peoples canals and public water
ways reclaimed from railroad graft
ers by the interested states of New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, etc, and declared free from
barbarous canal tolls and other rank
ukases, thus placed beyond the with
ering grasp of aRilroad Standard Oil
domination and control in freight
rates as well as Tonnage, the people
would then Immediately thereafter
reap the benefit of a reduction in an
so per cent. which would also Jolt
down railroad piratical coal prices in
that prime necessity of heat, power
and light.
Now, you, as the chief executive of
the State of New Jersey, are clothed
with ample power and supreme will
to bring about forthwith such bene-
fetal results by consulting the char
tiers of the Morris and Essex canal,
granted by the State in 1919 and the
Delaware and Raritan canal, whose
charter was granted In 1880, for
thirty years and thirty years only, as
well as the charter of the Camden &
Amboy Railroad, each and all of said

Gould, Vanderbilt, Roebling, Chaun-
cey Depew, Alec. Orr, ct al, and their
English and foreign allies in whole
sale crime Of public looting on every
thing that goes to make up the well
being of the human race.
! will close by quoting a brief par
agraph Of sound logic from that
great statesman, ex-United States
Senator and ex-Secretary Of the
United States Treasury, the Hon.
william Window, to-wft:

that the State could be in a position
to take them even before they were

with ample power to do anything
they choose with their own public
property. For proof of this please

If this people are all consummate
fools in tolerating such an outrage

In conclusion New Jersey not onlv

PROTEST AGAINST
WOOL TARIFF

A very strong protest against
any reduction in the present
wool tariff, OF any legislation
leading to a reduction of the
present duty, has come from the
Meagher County Wool Growers
Association, and has been intro
duced into the Senate by Mr.
Dixon Of Montana. The protest
was printed in full in the record.
The Association at a recartmeet-
ing passed resolutions which re-
cited that before any change is
made in the present laws relating
to this subject, that the cost of
production should be fully inves-
tigated and the Association asked
that it be given an opportunity
to present to the Tariff Board,
facts and figures relative to the
cost Of producing wool and NUT
ton. The communication goes
on to state that the Association
will act with the Tariff Board in
arriving at the solution of the
proposed legislation, and states
that I'VE demand for our en-
ployees and ourselves the same
protection which is accorded 9TH
er industries, whose hours Of
labor are from eight to ten hours
while ours range from ten to six
teen hours, sometimes all night
and on Sundays" The resolu-
tons reclte that the wool grow
ers are in favor Of the remodel
ing Of Schedule K so that the
protection intended to be con-
Veyed to the wool growers inter-
ests under it would become a
fact instead Of & theory. A sug-
gestion is made that the Difficult
~ is with the manufactures of
VOllen garments.

IF Senator Robert M. La Toilette an.

would liko to see him nominated and

those who have asked the question, u
said Senator Miles Poindexter Monday.
Il have been working with him in

honesty to such an extent that I will
support him if he becomes a candidate.
He has not signified to me, however,
his intention to announce his candi-

Heidrich's batting eye was open
Sunday, getting three hits out of four
times up.
Pop" Lee still believes he can slip
it over on Wenatchee. Give him a
good day, and he'll do it, too.
J. M. Cromm, our star outfelder,
arrived the first of the week from Idaho,
and will from now on call this place

Next Sunday the champs will again
meet the Wenatcheeites on the local
diamond. The game promises to be
the hottest yet seen on our field.
In every game the champs have
played this season the squeeze play has
been attempted-and has resulted dis
astrously in nearly every instance.
Firstbaseman Kelso will be out o.
the game next Sunday, on account ol
sickness. 1t is reported that Gliding,
Snohomish man, will be here to hold
down the first sack.
Arthur Brown, who has been on the
pitching staff of the Wenatchee team
for the past two seasons, was released
last week. It is possible that he will
be signed by the Leavenworth manage
ment. Arthur shut out the champs the
first of the season, 5 to 0, and any time
they do that trick they are welcome

TAME GAME PLAYED ON SUNDAY
knights Of Columbus Ball Team of Everett
and Leavenworth Team Cross Bats, but
Former Team Does Not Gross Plate

The K. OF c. team OF Everett never
had much chance Sunday. In the first
inning three runs came in for the locals,
and they continued to pile up until the
ninth inning, when II scores had been
registered.
At only one time in the game did
the visitors come anywhere near scoring,
and that was in the seventh inning.
With a runner on second and third,
Souder had a passed ball. The runner
attempted to score, but was retired at
the plate, Arnold taking the throw.
Arnold did nice work for the champs,
letting the Everett bunch down with
three hits and getting nine strikeouts.
Campbell, the twirler for the visitors,
who, it is reported, has signed up with
the Portland crowd, had bad day and
the champs tapped him for II hits.

On Fire Fifty-one Years

According to Herbert M Wilson,
chief engineer OF the Bureau of Mines,
81, 100000 has been spent in fighting
a metal mine fire at Deadwood, S. Oak.
Moreover, there are fires raging in coal
and metal mines in various parts Of The
country, which, having gotten beyond
control, have burned for many years,
devouring hundreds OF thousands Of tons
OF coal and miles of mine galleries.
OF these fires, one near Carbondale, Pa. +,
has burned out such a vast area Of an
thracite coal in the past ten years as to
result in subsidence of the surface and
destruction OF surface property. Near
Summit Hill, Pa, a fire is estimated 10
have destroyed $4,000, 900 worth Of
coal after burning ffty-one years. Near
Jobs, O., a tract of coal valued at sew
eral million dollars has been burning
since 1884. In some Of the deeper
metal mines of Butte, Mont, fires have
been burning in the old mine timbers
since 1889. In the Comstock vein in
Nevada, thousands Of feet OF tunnels
whice have been opened and timbered
at great expense are being burned out,
causing falling of the roof and disloca-
ton Of the metal bearing vein, thus rem
dering future recovery Of the ore diff
cult, if not impossible.
