Admired American Inventions.

As far back as 1876 some of the for.
eign commissioners to the Centennial
showed their keen appreciation of the
Importance of invention and the ad-
vantages derived by America from its
encouragement. One of the Swiss
commissioners said: Il am satisfied
from my knowledge that no people
have made in so short time so many
useful inventions as the Americans.
and If today machinery apparently
does all the work, it nevertheless by
no means reduces the workman to a
machine. He uses a machine, it is
true, but he is always thinking about
some improvement to introduce into

would be reflected in the price of
the Argentina product. Can it
be that competition between
English and American buyers on |
the Argentina markets brought
this advance in Argentina cattle?
If SO, does not the inference
necessarily arise that the de-
preston in cattle on the markets
of the United States is due to the
absence of competition between
buyers on our own open markets?
1t is fact that cannot be de-
MED that the number of cattle
in the United States decreased
by 100000 head, while the
population increased by 49,
00O,0 Tue producer is told
that all of the foregoing facts
are overcome by the fact that
the foreign outlet is limited be-
cause of the shortage of ocean
transportation. The answer to
this is that several times as much
beef has actually left the United
States for European ports as left
ID the same period of 1914, or
for the same period in any other
recent year.
The producer is also told that
the ocean freight rate is ex.
cessive; that it costs as much to
transport a live bullock or a
cavalry horse from this COUNTRY
to the European customer as the
American producer gets for tn,
animal. If this be true, it seem.
that all classes have combined

ADMIRAL | i N [ R LIN MAIDEN
 VOYAGE

The steamer Admiral Farragut reached Cordova at o'clock this morning on her initial voyage to Southwestern Alaska. With her in. terior repainted, her carpeting and other furnishings in a large part re- newed and althogether looking like a bran new liner, the double-bottom, twin screwed vessel was met at the dock by large number of people.
 The Farragut takes the place of the liner Admiral Watson, now submerged at the Bell street pier, at Seattle, where she was rammed by the freight CT Paraiso. On the Watson's return to commission, the Farragut, however, will remain on the Northern route, giving the company three vessels in the Seattle-Alaskan run, the third be- ing the Admiral Evans. The Farra- gut has been operated in the Seattle San Francisco service since she was purchased by the company last year
 The first-class staterooms on the upper deck remain as two-berth apart ments, this arrangement having been found popular with the travelling pub lie. Twelve new frst-class state rooms were added in the after main deck. Other additions include a bar Der shop a bar and an extra bath room. To handle the increased quant- ity of ship stores that the liner will have to carry on her new run, as com pared with the California route, her cold storage capacity was doubled. Her steerage accommodation were in creased from a limited number of berths to care for 1sO passengers.
 The Farragut's passengers were as follows.
