TAFT SIGNS THE CANAL BILL.
Measure Regulating the Use Of ''Thc
Big Ditch' Now law.

Washington, Aug. 2i.-President
40 O'Clock tonight. Following this
no sent to Congress- a memorandum
suggesting the advisability of the
passage OF a resolution which would
declare that this measure was not
considered by this government "A vio-
latiOn Of the treaty provisions re-
garding the canal.
In discussing the British protest,
Mr.. Taft says the Irresistible con-
clusion to be drawn from it is that
although the United States owns,
controls and has paid for the canal,
1t is restricted by treaty from aiding
its W commerce in the way that all
the other nations OF the world may
freely do"
I'm view Of the fact" Mr.. Taft
continues, THAT the Panama Canal
IS being constructed by the United
States wholly at it's own cost, uDon
territory ceded to it by the Renuhlic
~ iNNa'ia Lu' llGi NurIpSu, I'' fhrt
unless Il has restricted itself. the
United States enjoys absolute rights

the ri&ht 20 ailnw ass own commerce

u sees IL, ne sole question is: Has
the United States (by the terms of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. deprived
itself OF the exercise Of the right to
pas its Own commerce free, or TO re-
NIT tolls collected for the use of the
canal?"
All Treated Alike.
The President points out that the
rules specified in the article Of the
treaty which is made the basis for
the British protest were adopted by
the United States as the basis Of the
naturalization OF the canal and for
no other purposc.' This article, he
further says, lis a declaration OF
policy by the United States that the
n shall be neutral, that the atti-
tudc OF this government toward the
commerce OF the world Is that all
nations will be treated alike and no
discrimination made BY the United
States against any one OF them OBJ
serving rules adopted by the United
States.
'Thus it is seen that the rules are
but he basis OF naturalization in
tended to effect the neutrality which
the United States was willing should
the character OF the canal and not
to limit or hamper the
United states in the exercise OF its
sovereign power to deal with its W
commerce., using its own canal in
whatever mannc it saw fit"
After notification to the House to-
night hat President Taft had signed
the Panama bill, Representative
Sims, OF Tennessee. ranking member
Of the House Interstate Commerce
introduced a bill rcpcal- |
ing the provision Of the law provid-
ing Tor free tolls to American ships
engaged in the cOastwise trade.
MI. Sims explained that tho bill
had h endorsement Of the majority
Of the committee and was intended
to avoid threatening International
over the free tolls prom
oSitlon. 1t will be acted upon
among the first bills taken up when
congress rcconvcncS in December.

GOOD YEAR FOR SHEEPMEN.
Nevada Sheep Owners Get Highest
Prices Ever Paid.

Sheep owners in Nevada are in a
position to do the listening, while the
agents of eastern and western firms
are flocking about them with all kinds
of offers to secure spring lambs.
This state of affairs exists from the
fact that the supply in other States is
not up to the average of the Nevada
product, owing to weather and other
conditions that have existed else
where.
At the present time there are sew
Reno bargaining for the Nevada sup
ply which is far above the standard,
in fact the best in the market
Shipments are being made every
week from points on the Nevada Cal
ifornia Oregon railway and the West
ern Pacific to the Chicago markets
and will continue for some time to
come.
On August the first shipment was
made from Spring Garden, of 5000
head OF spring lambs. began Bros,
of Denver, were the purchasers and
the IA carloads were consigned to the
Chicago markets. August 7 another
shipment of 5000 was made to the
same city by the same firm of buyers
and on next Thursday another like
shipment will be made The last tw ,
shipments have been made from Mad
cline, Cal
The first shipment of Nevada spring
lambs was sold by the Pyramid Land
and Stock Company and this com
pany will make further shipments in
the near future The other two were
of lambs owned by the Nevada Cali
fornia Land and LIVESTOCK Comany
who have their main. Offices at the
Golden hotel in this city. 1t is under
TODD that the last named compan,
has 10000 spring lambs ready for the
market and they will all go east.
Several coast buyers have bids for
the Nevada product, but the eastern
agents are offering the best prices AMI
the shipments are going east.-Reno

S. P. WATCHWoRD: SAFETY.
Many Devices Adopted That Are Sug-
gested by Employees.

Safety" which is the watchword
Of the Southern Pacific is to be moved
further ahead in its code. 1t was the
slogan, Safety First that helped to
make the record of NO Lives Lost
Through Collision or Derailment in
Nearly Four Years on this road
Now it will, through safety commit
tees comprising officials and en-
ployes, try for an even better record
for safety than heretofore and endeav
or to prevent accidents of all kinds
AS much regard shall be taken of the
life and limb of the employe as OF the
passenger
This move means the organization
of safety committee to be composed
of the division superintendent Then
there is to be a safety committee on
every division to comprise the super
intendent members of his staff from
various departments, conductor, en-
gineer, brakeman, fireman, yardman,
trackman, signalman, bridge AMI
building man shop man. Each of
these craftsmen will be the chairman
of another distinct safety committee
Between meetings, which will be
held every month, each committee
shall entertain suggestions that will
tend to prevent accidents in all
branches of the railroad service. Then
these suggestions are to be brought
up at division committee meeting and
then again at the general safety com
mittee meeting If shop employee
mashes his finger the shop committee
will investigate and try and find a
method whereby other fingers will be
protected from a recurrence of the ac-
cident The members of each com
mttee are to be furnished with a but
ton of artistic design
Many of the suggestions that come
from the employees may appear to be
of minor importance, but at the same
time easy to put in practice. This is
to be encouraged by the committees
as the men on the line see many
things that mean for safety that may
be improved and thus minimize dan
ger to life and limb

Waste in Coke Making.

If the 27,703.644 short tons of coke
beehive type had been made in by
product ovens the value of the by
products thus recovered, which were
wasted in the beehive ovens, would
have been between $35,000,000 and
$4,000 600 This interesting state
ment is made Edward w. Parker, of
the United States Geological Survey.
in an advance chapter on coke from
the volume Mineral Resources" for
1911. This estimate is based on the
value of the by-products resulting
from the 7,847,84 tons of coke made
in by-product ovens in 1911. The
value of these by-products recovered
in 1911 was equal to the value at the
mines OF the coal used in making the
coke
From information received by the
Survey from the superintendent OF
motive power of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Mr.. Parker esti-
mates that the quantity OF power
which might be obtained from the
coking operations in Connellsville and
Lower Connellsville districts by sub
shutting nonrecovery retort ovens for
beehive ovens and using the heat
which is now wasted would be more
than twice the quantity of power nee
essary to move every train on the
Pennsylvania railroad between Pitts
burgh and Harrisburg. The amount
of boiler horsepower obtainable from
these coking districts is estimated "
Mr. Parker at about 100000 horsepow-
err per hour for every day in the year.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. Dec. The cotton
market made no special response to-
day to either the days influences or
next weeks expectations. The early
price movement disregarded Liverpool
cables which were lower than ex-
pected, and "A rise took place which
made local short interest nervous.
The advance was about ten points.
and this seemed to satisfy the trading
requirements OF the day.
On Monday the census bureau will
issue from Washington an estimate
~ the number OF bales ginned from
the crop being marketed. This Is ex-
pected to reach or exceed IL 300 600
bales. The volume OF cotton here
represented Is not SO much n market
factor as it's possible percentage may
be OF the final yield. Last year, on
the same date. 100000 bales had
passed through gin houses--that Is TO
say. up to November 3oth, inclusive.
II afterward turned out that this was
about SEA per cent OF the crop. No
one believes that the crop coming into
the market now has not been forced
into maturity, and to the gins more
rapidly than the last crop, That Mon
days report will for this reason re-
strict high crop estimates seems to
be obvious
On wednesday the agricultural de-
partment will estimate the lint yield
per acre, and its application to the
number Of acres under plant. and I'm
ally picked for the season ending Sep
TENDER 30th, next Most forecasts
and expectations point to a govern
ment report giving IA, 900. 900 bales as
the result OF Wednesdays announce
nent IT IL usual for the government
to make its estimate irrespective of
Iinters and repacks. and the CONNER
cial crop. therefore. probably Will ex-
coed the governments estimate by
three or four per cent.
The cotton market reflects a degree
stances, is nothing short OF marvel
Gus. Up 10 the present writing fully
$4,000 00G bales OF American cotton
have been rinned. and are on the mar
ket. withstanding this, spot and
cotton contract prices are about SIT
Il bale higher than they were as OF
the same date last fall. Exports are
greater and spinners' takirgs equally
as great those Of last year up to
the corresponding date. The cotton
goods division of the dry goods trade
is in Is highly satisfactory condition,
ana speculation in cotton contracts has
been in the direction Of hardening
prices. and liberal selling
II is hard 70 believe, therefore, that |
even should the two government re- |
