First Cotton via Panama Canal.

The first shipload of cotton from
the south, amounting to 3279 tons,
went through the Panama canal Oc-
tober % last, on the steamship Pen
rith Castle. 1t was bound from Gal
weston for Yokohama, Japan. The
same steamship made the return trip
through the canal in February with a
cargo from Seattle for Liverpool, made
up principally of wheat for Europe.
1t was estimated that on her cot
ton cargo the vessel saved $1,000 by
using the canal instead of going
around South America to get to ia
pan Even on the trip from Seattle to
Liverpool there will be a saving of 20
days at sea, or $11SS, by the canal
route.

for Making Of Bases in High tx

to American People.

Washington. Two discoveries, both
Of vast Importance to American in.
dustries and one regarded as a price
less military asset, were announced
Monday by Secretary Lane of the in.
terror department. They are chemical
processes, developed after years of re-
search by DR.. Walter r. Rittman.
chemical engineer of the bureau Of
mines.
One is expected to enable oil refin-
ers to increase their output of gaso-
line by 200 per cent; the other makes
possible the production from crude Pc
troleum of toluol and benzol, bases for
dyes and high explosives, for. which in
the past the United States and the
rest of the world have depended al
most exclusively upon Germany.
DR.. Rittman has applied for patents
upon his processes to prevent the pos-
sibility of any monopoly in their use,
and will dedicate them to the Ameri-
can people.
These processes" said Secretary
Lane, 'are fraught with the utmost
Importance. The Standard Oil com
pany has a big advantage over the in
dependents in production of gasoline
having a patented process obtaining
three times the amount of gasoline
from a given quantity of petroleum the
independents now obtain.
Nov the federal government,
through the efforts of DIR. Rittman,
proposes to make free, for the use of
all, a process confidently expected to
increase their yields of gasoline fully
200 per cent and perhaps more.
DIR. Rittman claims has process is
safer, simpler and more economical.
With a steadily increasing demand
for gasoline for automobiles, motor
boats and engines this fortunate dis
covery comes at the proper -ime. 1t is
but two years ago that the automobile
industry, fearful the supply of gasoline
might not be adequate for it's rapidly
expanding business, offered a $10O, 900
prize for a substitute that would cost
less than gasoline. This new process
adds to the hope hat in spite of the
wonderful growth in the use of gaso-
line there may not be any shortage
in the future.
Il am led to believe it will not only
be of inestimable value to refiners,
but to limited capital as well as those
of wealth, and also to the hundreds of
thousands of users of gasoline. When

IDAHo

Failure on the part of the present
legislature to cut the general appro-
priation bill now pending will result IN
a call for an extra session of that body,
according to reports.
When our state becomes a prohibi.
ton district, January /, 1916, as pro-
vided by the terms of house bill No.
142, which passed the senate and was
signed by u governor, and the terms
of senate bill No. so, which also pass
ed the legislature making enforcement
of statewide prohibition possible, this
state will probably be under the strict
est dry laws ever enacted by any state
in the union. If the constitutional pro-
hibition amendment question is acted
on ~favorably in the fall of 1916 amend
ing the constitution of the state to
make Idaho permanently prohibition
territory the last word in dry legisla-
ton will have been said in this state,
and the saloon banished forever.
Passage of a stringent act, the Iowa
abatement law; recommendation for
passage of the Conner workmen's COM
pensation act, drafted by a commits
sion appointed two years ago by the
governor; and calling off of the con-
flict between the two factions for and
against the public utilities commission
act and passage of a compromise meas
ure amending the utilities law, were
features in Saturdays long session of
the legislature. The senate authorized
the appointment of a joint sitting com
mittee of five senators and seven mem
bers of the house to sift the calendar
and bring before the legislature bills of
the greatest Importance to the state
at large.
Legislative leaders in both parties
Monday viewed with seriousness pros
poets OF an extra session of the legis-
lature in the event that a deadlock
develops between the lawmaking body
and the governor over the general ap-
preparation bill.
The governor is insisting upon the
general appropriation bill being item
lied for each state department. AS in
troduced it carries blanket appropria-
lions for them. Il carried a grand to-
tai of 1868 ,126. In addition there is a
$4,000 deficiency bill. The educa-
tional budget carries over SOC. 900.
The governor is satisfied with the
last-named budget. The house wants
to pass the general appropriation bill
unitemized and without material re-
duction.
The senate cut the educational bud
get $4,000 and the house has still TO
concur in the amendment.
Although threatened with death by
a fanatic who declared in an anony-
nous letter that he would kill him II
ne signed the statewide prohibition
Dill, Governor Alexander attached his
signature to the measure at 8 o'clock
Monday afternoon, as he publicly de.
clared he would, and all doubt about
Idaho becoming dry territory January
L, 1916, was removed.

STOP ALL SHIPPING
BLOCKADE OF UNPRECEDENTED
CHARACTER AS PROPOSED
WILL BE RuINous.
ENGLAND STATES POSITION
Try to starve Germany and Austria
Our Government Awaits Develop
ments-Rules Followed Since '56
Not Now Binding.

Washington.-A blockade of unpre-
cedented character, liable to involve
many complicated questions of inter
national law, is being considered here
by officials to be the likely import of
Great Britain's reported notification to
neutrals of her intention to hold up
all shipping to and from Germany anC
Austria.
The position of the Washington gov
eminent, it was pointed out, must
wait upon full information before any
one a undertake to say whether the
United States will recognize as bind
ing upon American shipping the pro.
posed limitations.
The proposed declarations by the
allies created widespread interest
among diplomats, as we'll as officials.
Some of the foreign ENJOYS from neu-
trail countries were interested partic.
ular1y in the intimation that England
did not intend to maintain a blockade
of the German coast, but would hold
herself at liberty to stop all shipping,
~ hlulIcl where uul on CD6
high seas, if bound to or from Ger
many.
There is no exact precedent for such
a policy but it was considered likely
in diplomatic circles that discussion
as to its validity and recognition by
neutrals would be based on the the
DRY that a blockade was being at
tempted"
The Declaration of Paris in 1856,
which proclaimed that a blockade, to
be binding on neutrals, must be eff
f%ective, has been followed by rules
since adopted by virtually all nations,
and was added to in The Hague con
ference of 1907 and the Declaration of
in 1909, which later document,
with certain notifications, has been
adopted by England and France as the
base of their international procedure
in the present.
