wan STOPS TRAPPING

One of the many strange effects
industries in this country is its
discouragement of trapping in
North Dakota. Because of the war
there is dull time among ex-
porters of furs because of a lack
Of demand in Europe. As result
there is a decline in prices until
trappers no longer find the trap
ping business profitable.

COL. COCKTAILS JOB

Word comes from the Panama
canal that Colonel Goethals is run
ming laundry and store besides the
canal for the accommodation of all
passengers and ship crews that passs
through that artificial waterway be-
tween the continents.
AS soon as vessel comes to one
of the canal entrances it can turn
all the laundry Of the ship, crew or
passengers, over to the canal author
tiles, and Colonel Goethals will see
that It is ready by the time the YES
sci reaches the other terminus. I'm
til recently, ships stopping at Pan
anna have had to send laundry to VAL
paraiso.
Also Has Grocery
Until now the time of transit
through the canal has been ten hours.
Every week this limit is being re-
duced, so that seven or eight hours
will be the longest within the near
future.
These laundry prices are only the
smallest part of the inducements to
shipping men to use the canal. Col
onel Goethals now offers general food
stuffs, groceries and all the goods in
that line of ship supplies at prices
to quote his official language-susual-
ly less than the retail prices in the
United States Wholesale lists may
be obtained at the office of the cap
tain of the canal entrance ports.'
According to Colonel Goethals ships
may "take up fresh water from the
lakes without hindrance.' But mas
much as all of this water is not en-
tirely suitable for industrial purpos-
es the canal authorities will sell fresh
water to ships at rs cents per 1000
gallons, the minimum charge being
So.
Coal will be delivered in the ships
bunkers on the Pacific end of the
canal at not exceeding $6.4O ton. If
at canal wharf, the price will be
less. If at the Atlantic entrance, the
charge will be more than 81 less.
Fuel oil can be had at the canal
ports for $1.3O a barrel.
Dry Dock Facilities.
A vessel can go into the canal dry
dock at the Atlantic entrance at a
cost Of SIS for the first day and s25
for each subsequent day. If small
enough to 60 into dry dock with
another ship the charge is less. This
makes the Atlantic entrance to the
canal. where there are splendidly eff
ficient marine shops, one of the
cheapest places in the world to put
yachts and other small ocean craft
into dry dock. It is expected that
yacht owners who take their boats to
the West Indies during the Winter
will, on this account alone, make Girls
tobal a port of call.
At the Pacific entrance the dry
docks, that are to be among the
largest in the world, are not yet COM
pleted. However, should even the
largest ship afloat need dry dock
while near the canal it could be put
into one Of the locks, which, when
freed from water, as any one of them
can be faster than any other dry
dock in the world, would serve such
purpose.
The canal authorities are now op-
Grating three tourist hotels, one of
which is fourteen miles out in the
Pacific ocean, where the climate is
SO even that it has become famous
as health resort.
An 800-Bed Hospital.
Colonel Goethals also calls atten-
tion to the SO0-bed hospital of the
canal. By reason Of the success with

a foreign exchange market, and
thought the federal reserve bank
should invest in foreign bills, instead
Of solely in ,rediscounts to. domestic
banks. II was this class of business,
he said, that was sought by the
bankers of Great Britain and it's
ramifications extending all over the
world had made London it's financial
center.
He said 1t was a popular mis-
conception that with the opening OF
the federal reserve banks, govern
ment funds would be deposited in
those banks and the Independent
treasury system of the United States
and its consequent expense to the
government and to the business of
the country, would become a thing
of the past. "A careful reading of
the law" he said, "discloses the
fact that its authors had no such in
tention, and that If the government
funds are deposited in those banks
1t viii be at the discretion of the
secretary OF the treasury alone.
Just Criticism Of Measure.
at is just criticism of the
measure" he continued, ITO say that
II does not take the government
out OF the banking business, and
that It confers upon one of our
government officials an extraordinary
power and discretion unwarranted by
the spirit of our institutions and re,
pugnant to republican principles. =
THE power conferred upon the
secretary OF the treasury to control
money and credit, II attempted by
the members of this association,
would probably call for a special
act of congress to curtail their
activities. '@ "-S
He referred to the failure of the
bankers to have their say I'm the
modification of the federal reserve act.
IL was a representation to which
their interests clearly entitled them,
he argued but he believed the ad.
visory council of bankers which had
been authorized, similar to the one
in. vogue in Germany, should yield
an influence upon the administra.
ton of the system that was denied
them In its management. aN sE
"The experience in Germany. he
said. has been that the advice OF
its council in the conduct Of the
Reichs bank is rarely refused and
generally followed. The fundamenl
tai features of the bill organizing
the federal reserve banks are in the
main sound and the establishment
OF the advisory council may furnish
the balance without which the sys.
tenn might be deficient.
None more than the bankers have
for years been earnestly demanding
| some change In our former SYSTEM
and II may be confidently predicted
that their efforts to make II sue

those in charge OF Its operations. .
