DETROIT. Mich, May ia full
discussion of the tariff and other prob
lens confronting the Wilson admins

session of the National Manufacturers
Association this afternoon, despite
the fact that such discussion was in

head off consideration of the admin

convention. Since the formation of
the manufacturers organization such
topics, especially the tariff. have been

There is another big advantage TO
agriculture in this proximity of the
live stock markets. Iowa farmers

can buy feeders on these markets and
ship them to their farms at compare
lively low transportation expense. In
a period from April /, 1912, to April
IL, 1913, Iowa feeders bought on the
Omaha market 1925 head of cattle,
504,327 head of logs and 136,575 head
of sheep. They bought on the Sioux
City market, 95,5s2 head OF cattle, g.,
707 head of hogs and 1904 head OF
sheep. Large consignments were pur-
chased in Chicago, Kansas City, St
Louis and ST. Joe as we'll as other
markets. All of these afford com
paratively short haul to Iowa farms
Thus it is seen that Iowa is un,
usually fortunate in her proximity to
market. Markets constitute the very
life blood in the commerce of any
region and the railroads are the ar
teries.

Worlds Best Assured.

During the executive meeting held
yesterday, Mr.. Hanley told the repre-
sentation that at a meeting in Chi
cago week ago, he had ASSN ance
from Commodore Pugh and others of
the worlds fastest speed boat owners,
that the cream of the craft would
come to the Mississippi for the M. v.
P. B. A. regatta in August.
There was some discussion yester-
day as to calling the regatta at Keo-
kuk the close of the Perry Centennial
celebration. 1t is believed that this
can be done and that it will be adj
yertised as such. The Perry Centen-
NAL celebratios commences at Toledo
and goes from there to Put-in-Bay,
Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago. The
finest boats will be shipped from Chi
cago to Keokuk by rail.
Possible to Get Marine Band.
The United States Marine band, the
finest organization of its kind in the
world, will follow the regattas of the
Perry Centennial. After they reach
Chicago, 1T will be possible for Keo-
kuk to bring the musicians here, if
they are wanted. 1t would be neces.
sary to pay for transportation of the
band and give them grounds on which
to camp during their stay here. Aside
from that there would be no expense
attached.
1t is believed that the band would
be one of the greatest dsewing cards
for the regatta and dam celebration.
Meeting Tomorrow Night
There will probably be meeting OF
ths motor boat clubs executive com
mittee and committee from the dam
celebration organization tomorrow
night. At that time, some definite
plans for getting busy on the finances
will be made.

COKE OUTPUT LARGE IN
STATE OF ILLINOIS

The production of coke in Illinois in
1912 amounted to 1.764,944 short tons,
valued at SS,069,903. against l,61O,212
tons valued at $6,39O,251 in 1911, &C
cording to +. w. Parker of the United
States geological survey. The aver
age value per ton advanced from 1897
to S4.57. In spite of the increase in
production Illinois dropped from fourth
TO fifth place in rank among the states
because Of the much larger increase
in Indiana that followed the putting in
blast of the entire plant of 500 Kop-
pers ovens Of the United States Steel
Corporation at Gary. which advanced
that state from sixth to third place
All the coke produced in Illinois in
1911 and 1912 was made in retort
ovens, much of the coal being drawn
from West Virginia mines; no beehive
coke was produced in the state. In
some of the ovens the charge consists
of mixture of West Virginia and Illi-
nois Goals in the proportions of to l.
This has been found to make an en-.
! tirely satisfactory coke. There were
four retort plants, with a total of SOS
ovens in operation in 1912 One OF
these plants consisted of 240 Semet-
Solvay ovens, operated by the By.
Products Coke Corporation at South
Chicago. The plant has been enlarged
three times, the latest addition OF
forty ovens being completed in 1912.
Thirteen of the same kind of ovens
were operated by the North Shore Gas
Company Waukegan, having been com
pleted in 1912. These ovens are heat
ed by producer gas made from the
coke. All the retort gas gees to the
/ city mains.
A plant OF ESQ Koppers ovens was
operated by the Illinois Steel company
at Joliet. built in 1908 and 1909, and
another OF thirty-five by the Coal Pro
ducts Manufacturing company. also al

plus gas from the former is used
at the steel plant and that from the
latter is furnished to the city mains
