Washington, Dec. 26.-Democratic
plans for governmental economy and
a desire to improve the navy along the
line of auxiliary and secondary YES
sells, will result in the refusal of con
gress at this session to make appro-'
priation for the construction of more
than N %battleship. 1t is even pos
sible that battleships may be elimi-
mated entirely this year from the au-;
thorized naval building program, par.
ticularly in view of the fact that the
house has passed the Sherwood dol

crease the annual expenses of the gov
eminent from $28, 600, 900 to $35,OOO,-
600.
The secretary of the navy in his an
nual report has recommended the con-
struction of two huge and costly bat.
tleships. At the same time he has.
shown the necessity of having many.
additional auxiliaries and accessories,
which constitute what is known as the
secondary and defensive navy. These
auXiliaries consist OF Golfers, repair
ships, ammunition ships, hospital
ships and so forth, while the defensive;
types are the scout cruisers, de-
stroyers and submarines.
The cost of a dreadnaught has been,
a frequent source of speculation on
the part of members of congress, as.
the navy department, whether inten-
~tionally or otherwise, has made it al.
most impossible to delve into the COM

large totals to arrive at the figures for

TURE OF LUMBER.
'stumps, Slabs, Etc, ETC., Left to Rot
Away Represent Annual Loss of
$3o,ooo,0oo.

Washington, Dec. 23.-A great I'M
developed industry, worth millions of
dollars annually, lies at, the doors of
the people of the far Northwest and
the South in the immense wastes of
wood incident to the manufacture Of
lumber. An amazing statement of
these wastes and the consequent loss
in wealth and conservation OF timber
resources is made as a result oil a two
years government investigation, not
yet concluded, by F. P. Veitch, chief
of the leather and paper division of
the bureau of chemistry, and Mr.. G.,
Donk, assistant chemist. whose pre-
liminary conclusions have just been
made public.
."The waste wood of the Northwest
and South from the lumber industry,
in tops, stumps, slabs and saw dust,
and the dead and down timber from
fires and storms furnishes one. of the
great u~ndeveloped of this
country" says the Investigators.
From this wood, by industrially de-
veloped chemical methods, the entire
output of naval stores, embracing tur-
pentine, rosin, tars, pitch, resin spir-
it's and rosin oils, having an annual
value of at least 100000, 900, may be
obtained without boxing or turpen-
timing a single live tree.
"It is possible to ecover from the
waste of the yellow pine lumber in
dustry (%including dead-and-down tim
ber) as much or more turpentine, ros-
in and rOsin oils as are now produced
by the ordinary methods of turpen-
timing from the live tree. The profit
able utilization of mill wastes in this
way would add materially to the
wealth of the South and help|to con-
serve it's timber resources.
"There is more than sufficient waste
material to yield annually all the pa
pers Except news), paper and box
board and building board required, for
which wood is suitable.
more methyl alcohol, acetate of
lime, and acetone can be produced
from this wood than is now made in
the country, and large quantities of
ethyl alcohol may also be recovered.
There are millions of acres of cut
over land covered with stumps and
dead and down timber, all of which,
because of it's resinous nature, decays
very slowly. enduring for years. There
is enough of such materials to supply
all demands for the above mentioned
products for a very long period. The
processes, equipment and technique
for the utilization of these materials
are either in operation Or may be
readily devised" 49,

for which the government appropriates
and it has staggered the Democratic
economists.
In consequence the plan is for the
construction of smaller craft, particu-
larly as their need is pointed out by
the secretary of the nevy, and also in
view of the shortage OF men necessary
to man new ships. In his report the
secretary of the navy publishes an in
.teresting table showing the manner in
which the navy has grown top-heavy
by the building of big battleships to
the neglect of the auxiliaries such as
scouts, GOLFERS, d~estroyers, subma-
rlnes, repair, ammunition and hospital
ships. There are now in commission
SO battleships which, in order to be
effective, require a certain number of
secondary vessels. On the basis of SO
battleships, Secretary Meyer shows
that the deficiency in other ships is
IL golfers, 80 d%estroyers, % subma-
rines, three hospital ships and in like
proportion various other supply, re-
pair, ammunition and miscellaneous
vessels. ~.
The house members have found
that the up-keep of a battleship an
nually with it's scores of officers and
1000 to 1000 enlisted men is 81, OOO,-
900 a year. The destroyer which costs
originally only $750,00O is manned by
four officers and 80 men, costs for
maintenance only about $85, 900 a year,
and the submarine which costs origi-
nally only 100000 is manned by one
officer and about ~ men, costs about
$4,000 for maintenance.
Notwithstanding the recommends.
ton of the secretary of the navy for
two dreadnaughts, there never was a
time since the Democrats came into
power that they were willing to au.
thorize more than one of these big
ships a year, and many Republicans
have Joined with them and taken the
same position. In view of the fact
that the navy is always popular with
the people, it has been thought that
n battleship might be provided for
but now in view of the heavy drain
upon the treasury incident to the
pension bill, it is said that there may
be no provision for b%attleships al
all. Instead those of charge of the
matter are talking of making the navy

they believe to be better defense by

SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, "dry farming" does not
indicate all that might be implied. III
does not mean assystem Of irrigation!
but where all the rain fall and;
precipitation is stored up and con-.
served in the soil, to be drawn upon,
by scientific and sane processes when.
1t may be required to forward and in
crease the growth Of grain.
In certain sections Of the Canadian,
West as we'll as in the Americans
West, there is a portion Of the coun-;
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative;
position to the rain avenues, do not;
give the advantage that other parts;
possess in the matter Of precipitation
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress duringiI
the past few years, and it is now ash
certained that it is not altogether the,
number of inches of rain that is es-i
sential to the growing of crops, but.
its conservation, and that is the,
meaning Of "Dry farming" DRY.
Farming" may well be applied to dis
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better. results will follow. The;
education Of the public, into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such;
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing: them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses are. attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts Of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
katchewan, has taken a vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year. the Province of Al
berta took prizes ten to one in excess
Of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six. and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying OF
one sweepstakes. When it came to
a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City Of Lethbridge,
which had put up a%~splendid fight for
1t, secured the Congress by a unani-
mou vote. It is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge,t one of the speak
ers said he had Just received a tele-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that Of one thousand acres Of
wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and

ton, tells of hundreds of splendid
