COST OF A SUBMARINE
German U-29 Believed to Represent
an Outlay of 100000.

Although actual figures, for obvi
Gus reasons, are not available, one
would be understanding rather
than overestimating the cost of the
German submarine U-29 which the
British admiralty reports to have
been sunk, at 100000 $4,000, 000),
saws London Tit-Bits This total is

Of our submarine fleet, which was
completed in 1913, cost G107,791;
and the Il class is neither. the largest
nor the most expensive tpye of sub
marine in the fleet today,
According to the admiralty state
nent, the cost of the hull, fittings
and equipment of the E-4 was e26,-
1871 E79,105 being spent on her pro
polling and other machinery. In adj
dition to this outlay there was an
item of G1S99 for Incidental
charges which relate to the proper
tionate costs incurred while the YES
sci was in the hands of the dockyard
authorities being finished off
When it is remembered that the
U-29 was one of the very latest types
of submarines, armed with two IA
FOUNDER guns and two smaller anti
aircraft guns, with oil engines of
1000 horsepower, giving her a nor
NAL speed on the surface of II to 10
knots, while her radius with oil in
the double skin with which she was
fitted is believed to have been over
5000 miles, and perhaps as much as
1000, it will be readily understood
that the cost of her construction
must have been very much more
than that of the E-4.

The Merchant Prince.

There was an old geezer and he
had lot Of sense;
He started up a business on dol
lar-eighty cents,
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in a
day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and lit
tie more space
And he played that system with a
smile on his face,
The customers flocked to his two by
four
And soon he had to hustle for regu-
lar store
Up on the square, where the people
pass,
He gobbed up corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the
best that he had
And he told em all about it half
page ad.
He soon had EN- coming and he
never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
one kit.
Well, he's kept things humming in
the town ever since
And everybody call him the Merch-
ant Prince.
Some says it's luck, but that's all
bunk
Why, he was doing business when
times were punk.
People have to purchase and the geez
er was wise
For he knew the way to get 'em was
to advertise.

DAM DEDICATED AT
 BOISE TODAY
Highest Dam in the World. Built by United States Reclamation Service, Will Be Formally Opened by Officials
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 4.-Arrow Rock dam. just completed near Boise by the United states reclamation service, and dedicated here today is 34S.5 feet high, measured from the low point of the foundation to the top of its surmount ing crest and is said to be the highest dam in the world.
 To anchor this structure, it was necessary to blast through 91.5 feet of volcanic rock. down to solid granite. Approximately 600, 900 yards of con crete, besides a large quantity of steel and rock were used in the dams con- struction, the cost being $5,500.000 or $2,000,00O under the original estimate. Work was begun five years ago.
 Back of the dam, the channel of the Boise river is converted into a reservoir extending eighteen miles into the mountains. with a storage capacity of eighty billion gallons. enough to water 234000 acres adjacent to Boise and other towns, in what is known as the Boise irrigation project. The install lation of the system cost the govern ment 12,000,000 which is to be repaid by settlers in twenty years. The water storage this year has saved the crops on 100000 acres, the value of which is estimated to be about equal to the cost of the dam.
 A feature of the dam is a device at one end for lifting logs from the reser-

sheir presence was a constant and in creasing source of irritation to the strikers just as the presence of the
 non resident Western Federation leaders was an irritation to the man agers. The managers took the un- questionable position that one human life was worth more than the mines of the Clifton district.
 Notwithstanding that the sheriff is carefully guarding the property of the companies, the district is in the absolute and complete control of the Western Federation of Miners. Wherefore. there was nothing left for the managers to do, and they could best serve their respective companies and the state by removing themselves from the district. Troops ought not to be needed now."
