Fatalities Among AIpinists.

In view of the fact that every man
] or woman who walks up mountain
I with alpenstock in hand is climber
! in the eyes of the public, it is not at
all strange that the appalling annual
fatalities in the Swiss Alps are laid
at the door of one of the noblest OF
sports. The truth is that these fatal
ties-there were 1O5 last year-are rel
atively few and far between in the
ranks of genuine alpinists, the anna
teur and professional mountaineers.
They who climb with ice AK instead OF
alpenstock are cautious-first, last and
always Considering the risk taken,
few of them lose their lives. Most
who meet this frightful death in the
Swiss mountains have always been
either unthinking or downright reck-
less tempters of fate. With complete
disregard of common sense, these I'M
fortunates go where they have no bus
mess to go save in charge of an exper-
fenced guide, and sometimes the mere
reaching out for a coveted wild flower
sends them to their doom.-Spur.

BY gibson GARDNER.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. IL
The Panama canal is already
making itself felt. In the ex-
element over world wars, and
elections, II has received little at
tention and few people know
that the vegetables canned in In
diana this year are already be-
Ing shipped to the Pacific coast
In large quantities via the Pana-
ma canal. Such, however, is the
case, and to such an extent that
the owners OF the transcontinen-
tai railroads are already getting
"het up" over 1t. AS usual, when
these gentlemen get "het up"
they rush to the interstate COM
merce commission to get some
thing done for them.
Railroads Buzzing.
In this case they want the
privilege OF reducing rates, in
order to institute "cut-throat"
competition with canal rates. One
bunch of railroad men Is asking
the commission to let them raise
rates, and another bunch wants
to reduce rates, and each bunch
Is shouldering the other for the
ear of the commission. Railroad
rate making is fine scientific bust
ness. 1t Is the science of "all the
traffic will bear" and people in
the Middle West will soon have
to wake up and see how much
they are going to bear.
Freight Moving.
The canal opened for business
on August Is, and since that time
40 ships, having capacity vary
ing from 5000 to 10000 tons,
have been engaged in handling
freight through it to the Pacific
coast. From as far west as Ohio
and Indiana freight is now NOV
ing I'm considerable volume by way
of New York to the canal and the
Pacific coast states. A shipment
of $1,000 tons OF wrought iron
pipe from Youngstown, Ohio, to
San Francisco is one instance.
The all-rail price across the con-
tinent for freight is 65 cents
hundred-weight.
The same freight sent by way
of New York and the canal costs
as cents per hundred-weight. OF
this sum, 18 cents Is consumed
in charges from Youngstown.
Ohio. to New York, and the other
80 cents from New York to San
Francisco, via the canal. Canned
corn is being shipped to the Pa
cific coast from indiana; cast
iron pipe from Alabama, via New
Orleans, and other freight in con-
siderable quantities from the Mid
die Western states. The journey
by the canal route takes about
20 days. which is not much more
than that by the all-rail trans
continental route.
Fear Competition.
The railroads fear this competi-
ton and want to raise their rates
from what they call the sea
competition zone" to Pacific
ports; in other words, from points
near enough to the Atlantic to
get the water traffic rates. They
do not WISH, however, to reduce
any rates in the central and west
ern, and particularly the inter-
mountain country. This revives
the old question involved in what
has been known as the Spokane
long-and-short haul case, where
In the intermountain cities like
Spokane, Denver. Santa Fe, etc.,

Ocean Changes

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IL
Remarkable changes in the ocean
floor off the Alaska coast were
reported here today by Capt. c.
u. Peterson, whaling master and
explorer. who returned from the
Far North several days ago with
the whaler Herman.
According to Capt. Peterson
the water between Hog island and
Amarknak island has shoaled
from an indicated chart depth of
nine and one-half fathoms to a
bare two fathoms at high water,
making it impossible for vessels
of large draught to use the pass-
age.
Capt. Peterson believes the
change is due to volcanic disturb
ances' on Bogoslof island and in
Unalaska.
