Despite the all day drilling rains
of Saturday, Roy Cope of Topeka,
drove from Harrington to Topeka, a
road distance of 104 miles, in y
hours. including two stops, Sunday.
Cope carried five passengers in his

The trip has made a new friend
for the Old Santa Fe trail said Cope
in speaking of the trip. I'VE went to
Harrington on the Golden Belt where
we fought bad roads, mud holes and
bad curves.
1.-THE old Trail was as smooth as
pavement-and it had been soaked
with a heavy rain the day before. The
Trail is lined with boosters. Every
telephone pole is marked, every Gull
vert is constructed of cement, the
curves we'll indicated and plenty of
signs guide the traveller. We met
scores of coast-to-coaSt tourists. Even
the school houses along the line are
named in honor of the highway"
Mr.. Cope was accompanied by Mrs.
Cope and party of friends.

CAIN IN SHIPPING
L. $. Forging to Front as Mari
time Nation.
Record Growth Held Due to
New Registry Law.

Washington. Aug. 30.-The Ameri-
can flag now floats over more ships
in the foreign trade than at any time
since 1863 and the United States is
pressing close on France and Norway
as n maritime nation.
Figures made public today by the
department of commerce show a rec
ord increase in American shipping for
wear ended June 80. on that date
there were registered in the foreign
trade 2,76S ships, totaling 1.S13, 115
gross tons, an increase of 1853 ships
and 1888 tons for the year. Pracl-
cally all the increases are due to the
new American registry law Assistant
Secretary Sweet of the department OF
commerce said today:
This s about triple the increase in
registered tonnage for any previous
wear in American history. Our regis
tered tonnage is now much greater
than at any time since 1868, when we
had 2,O26,114 gross tons in foreign
trade 1t is many times more efficient,
however, as the steam tonnage now
amounts to 1,273,067 tons, while in
1898 it amounted only to 1929 tons.
The increase from the ship regis
try act of August IS, 1914, to June II,
1915, was so rapid that tonnage under
the American flag now employed IN
foreign trade is nearly equal TO such
tonnage under the French or NorWe-
aian flags. British tonnage, of course,
is more than ten fold greater"

deavor to execute coup etat against

vided among several state depart

made today from the office of l.. T.

the hotel inspector came along and
gave the place the once over. The
next week. perhaps. an inspector came
from the board of health and smelled
the cheese and measured the sheets.
Then the city milk inspector sent a
man to look at the milk and butter
After this army of inspectors had
come and gone, someone from the Ia
Dor bureau dropped in to give advice
rs to regulations of public buildings
The system brought forth howl from
the hotel keepers Now the inspec
ton system is to be changed.
Policies adopted today will place
the hotel inspection work under the
jurisdiction of the state hotel inSpec-

partment. The plan will not only re-
duce the work in several departments,
