WOOD SHIPMENTS FEWER.
But One More Cargo to Be Loaded
for Northern Points.

Shipments of railroad ties and pulp
wood from the Potomac to Philadelphia
and other points in the north are prac-
tically over for the season. and as far as
known only one more cargo is to be load
ed between this time and spring, and ice
may come before the vessel can arrive at
her loading point to take the ties abOaru.
Since the breaking up Of the ice in the
river last February schOoners and barges,
mainly the latter have been engaged in
loading ties for Washington dealers, and
it is estimated that in the past season
over 2iDO0O of them have been sent from
Alexandria and other points along the
river to Baltimore. Philadelphia, New
York and Boston for use in railway main
tenance and construction.
The barge Clara Brooks has just COM
pleted loading a cargo of about 5000 ties
at Alexandria for New York. and mas
sailed via Norfolk. If the river remains
open she will return at once to Alex
andria to load the last cargo that will
leave there this season.
In addition to the railroad tie shipping
business large quantities of poplar and
other woods used in making paper, have
been sent from the Potomac to mills in
the north, and many thousand cords have
been sent from Alexandria by rail to
paper-making plants In West Virginia.

Canal Tolls on American Ships.
The closing chapter of the report deals
with the Panama canal, Of which 1t is
said, that while the official date of open
ing is set for January 1, 1915, it is the
intention to allow vessels to utilize
it as soon as possible, probably during
the latter half of 1918.
In closing, the Secretary stated that
although he still believes the United
States can repay tolls to American yes
sells using the canal. he is strongly OF
the opinion that such remission of tolls
be not granted, as they are necessary.

great shortage in the supply Of field ar
tillery, which cannot be purchased
abroad in time of war and requires
years to manufacture. Secretary Slim
son says: 1.-The amount which we have
permitted to accumulate would be insult
cient for single engagement of the
character of the engagements in either
the Russo-Japanese or the present Bal
kan war;.
Strategic Points Needing Strength.
The immediate completion of the posts
at Panama and Hawaii he strongly
urged as by far the most important items
of military expenditure for the imme-
date future. 1t is said that the locks and
machinery at Panama have already
reached a. condition of extreme vulnera-
bility in case of sudden attack, yet no
greater force can be sent there than the
one regiment now on guard until new
quarters are constructed for them, and
such works should begin at once. On
the other hand. said the Secretary, the
base at Pearl HarbOr, Hawaii. is of far
greater strategic Importance for the pro-
lection of our entire Pacific coast from
attack than any of the positions on that
coast now so strongly fortified. No naval
tack upon any portion of our Pacific
coast unless it had first reduced our posi-
ton at Oahu, threatening it's flank.
Old Controversy Over River Dams.
Suggestions of the old controversy be-
tween the executive and Congress over
the construction of dams in navigable
streams without compensation to the gov
eminent are contained in long chapter
in the report dealing with the attempt
Of the War Department to protect such
streams from private separations. The
Secretary reiterates his views already
laid before Congress in connection with
the veto last session of the Coosa river
dam bill, and he again urges that existing
law be amended so that the grantee of
a dam privilege be required to pay
reasonable sum to the government, the
proceeds to be used for the developments
Of the stream where the dam is located.
For the Porto Ricans the Secretary
urges citizenship. declaring that it was
