rartment, and are doomed to abandon
ment II the plans announced by Secre-
tary Stimson are carried out. The sec.
retary, acting upon an exhaustive re-
port by the general staff. has decided
upon the concentration OF the United
States army In eight posts. instead Of
the forty.nine now in operation. BY
this means. he believes that the eff
cheney OF the army will be multiplied,
while at the same time the govern.
ment will make a saving Of $500, 900

OF Fort Apache. it is said possi-
bility Of Indian trouble near the post
still exists. and that Fort Jay might
be retained as headquarters OF the
Eastern division, and as the site Of
the Eastern military prison.
There is another formidable list of
posts, which, while not recommended
for immediate abandonment, are de-.
clared not to be located with a view
of securing economy Of administra-
ton and supply, or full measure OF
military effectiveness. Consequently
their garrisons will not be increased
and ultimately will be withdrawn to
such concentration centers as Con-
gress may authorize. These posts are

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cairo. Ill. - Thirteen persons are
believed to have been drowned in the
Mississippi river two, miles south Of
here, when q rowboat in which they
were being brought to this city from
Birds Point became lost In an ice
jam.
The passengers were part OF 1876
who left a noon Cotton Belt train at
Birds Point. Mo.
They were left without conveyance
across the river because the railroad
ferryman feared to risk his steamer
in the ice and heavy fog.
Three boatmen were hired to carry
: the passengers to this side OF the
gers each. Frank Jones. said to be an
experienced boatman, permitted
twelve to get into his boat.
The boatmen OF the two lighter fer
ries were about fifty yards ahead Of
Jones, when they heard shouts for
help. and. turning. saw Jones battling
frantically with a monster floe that
was sweeping his craft beyond con-
troll The heavy fog then hid the lost
party from view, and nothing has
since been heard OF the ferryman or
his passengers.
Most Of those in the lost boat are
thought to have been in a party that
boarded a train at Lilburn, Mo-, but
their identity has not been estab-
Mshed.
Searching parties on both sides OF
the river spent the afternoon and
early night patrolling the banks. but
at a late hour reported that their
searches had been fruitless.

DAVE LOOKS
 THINGS OVER
Sugar Situation Is Gratify ing; Marinette Project Is a "Humdinger" and the Maricopa Desert Looks Like Ready Money

R P Davie. president of tn" Southwestern Sugar and Land Co.,, and concerned in numerous other de- Nclopment projects in this section ar rived here yesterday morning, spent q busy day in running over the val lev. and expects to leave again this afternoon. to return about the 2oth when the sugar campaign begins.
 He looked the sugar beet and ac- tory situation over with Managing Director c. NJ Culver and Superin- tendent Lafayette Myers and when the day was done he felt like tha Hebrew scouts of old who peeped in to the promised land and reported it looked good to them Everything is ready for the sugar campaign or so near ready that the next ten days will find the wheels all creased and ready to turn the minute beet shows up to taunt them The beets are looking good and the sugar cane experiment k all that could be cN- pccted of il thus far
 The twenty-five acres of sugar cane planted in different parts of the val ley for experimental purposes are com ing along fine What the cane men call seed. is the stalk of the cane cut up into three foot lengths and planted as seed potatoes are planted. the roots and new stalks starting from the joints For the purpos, $ of these Experiments two carloads of seed" were brought from Culiacan. Mexico, that climate being quite sjmt- lar to this. and the seed cane had tp !,
 was no great amount available locally. though some of the local Mexican grown cane was also planted
 some readers may not know that the cane is planted only once in about seven years as it lives through tho winter season and sends up new stalks the following year In its cuI- ture therefore there is the saving of the annual planting expense. The twenty-five acres raised this year will furnish seed for about a thou send acres next year if it is decided to plant it and just now that seems quite probable If the cane business is gone into. says AIr Davie the factory would require about 5000 acres of it. The cane project in n, way nterfeTes with the beet growing industry but on the contrary will practically double the output of tho factory and its importance to tn. valley. giving the factory double sugar season with the added expense of installing d crusher. rolls and z Bdgasse conveyor, (which is rela- lively small to the big investment O. the factory proper.
