Gus London music halls Alfred Lester,
who was the original melancholy jockey
IN ''rhe Arcadians," has been making
audiences scream, of late, with quite
original sketch called, 1.-The Village Fire
Brigade" Needless to say the brigade
therein depicted-consisting of lester and
another man-is highly inefficient, but
what makes audiences laugh hardest is
the fire engine around which most of
the action centers, an antediluyian con-
traption whose workings the two members
of the brigade understand only dimly
and in the inner parts of which hens are
kept,
1t all has been taken, as a gorgeous
joke 'frightfully exaggerated, of course,
don't you Know" for nobody believed
that, even in the most behind the time

a fire engine would be tolerated. Not

TAGES OFFERED BY PANAMA

Orders Placed by Three of Leading
German Companies for New YES

Berlin.-Germany above all other
foreign nations expects to profit by
the opening of the Panama canal. Mar
thine experts here point out that
while the United States naturally will
receive the greatest advantage. owing
to its lack of ships il will not be in
position to profit by the great in.
crease in the carrying trade which the
German shipowners have roreseen and
prepared for.
Orders placed by three OF the lead.
ing German companies for new yes
sells designed particularly for service
by way of Panama. large increases
of capital stock by the same compan
les, and the announcement that the
four big lines now running to the ori
ent. Australia and the Pacific coasts
of North and South America will be
diverted to pass through the canal as
soon as it is open to commerce, speak
plainly of the importance attributed
in this country to the new waterway
German authorities say that the ef
feet of the opening of the canal will
manifest itself chiefly in a great com.
mercial boom in western Canada and
the Pacific coast states, from which
shipping interests generally will profit
in increased freights as result OF the
opening OF hitherto undeveloped or
slightly developed states on the west
ern coast of South America stored
with raw material; in the diversion
and expansion OF the streams ri Euro

ARDOR OF RED MEN

AGENT is NOW HOPEFUL THAT

TERMINATION TO FIGHT.
Medicine Men Continue Efforts to In
duce Others to Join in Uprising on
Shiprock Agency, But Are Meet
ing With Little Success.

Pennington, n. M.-Continued rain
for twenty-four hours had rendered
the position OF the recalcitrant Nava-
10 Indians, encamped on Beautiful
mountain, near the Shiprock agency.
very trying on Thursday and had
cooled materially the ardor OF their
sympathizers. These conditions gave
encouragement to agency officials
who have been trying to secure a set
Element without bloodshed. The
hope was expressed that continued un-
favorable weather would cause the In
dams to weaken in their avowed de-
termination to fight if any attempt
was made to capture the seven braves
wanted by the United States court in
New Mexico.
Another hopeful sign was the action
Of one of the accused Indians on
thursday in surrendering TO Indian
Agent w. t. Shelton at Shiprock. The
brave was confined in the county Jail
awaiting orders from United States
Marshal A. D. Hudspeth at Santa Fe.
That order will be restored and the
present differences adjusted with Lit.

opinion expressed by Agent Shelton.

The OFFICE OF MARKETS
IS NOW IN OPERATION
II is Believed II VIII be OF Great
Benefit to the Producers and the
Consumers of the Nation.

Northumberland recent act OF
congress. the secretary of agriculture
has undertaken the establishment OF
an office OF markets in the depart
ment. which it is believed will be OF
great benefit TO the producers and
consumers, and result in the lowering
of prices of fOodstufis
Congressman have been furnish
ed the following information by the
acting secretary OF agriculture, with
reference to the scope OF the work
to be undertaken:
The broad authority is given by
congress TO accumulate and diffuse
among the people OF the United
States useful information concerning
duets. The problem OF the Office OF
markets. broadly stated. is to study
present systems of handling and
marketing farm products with a view
to locating definitely the wastes OF
material. time. energy and money
which now operate TO needlessly in.
crease the cost OF farm products.
II hopes TO be able to make suS.
gestions which will lessen some OF
those wastes and which will in some
cases shorten the time between pro-
Queer and consumer and reduce the
number OF landings. Ii hopes TO de-
termine what systems and processes
are now giving most satisfactory and
economical service and TO encourage
their introduction wherever present
conditions may warrant.
To this end it will take up some
specific studies and undertake cert
amin definite leins OF work.
