ficiently to enable him to discuss the
subject. Some shipping associations
have been tried out. he said. the most
popular plan being the one followed
by the fruit growers of California.
This plan has been modified to meet
the needs of various sections.
In the cities along the route Presi-
dent Ripley found a strong sentiment
in favor of cooperating with the
transportation companies in efforts for
developing the territory, including
railway extensions. Mr.. Ripley pledg-
ed Santa Fe support to the extent of
its ability in the development, but
declared that the general situation is
not encouraging for construction or
new railroads.

Heavy Toll First Week.

London. Feb 25-The German
blockade of the British Isles had
been in effect for a week yesterday,
with the result that so far as Is
known two Norwegian, one French
and five British steamers have been
sunk or torpedoed by submarines,
with the surprisingly small loss OF
four lives. Two of these steamers,
the Belridge and the Dinorah, sue
ceeded in reaching port.
On the other side of the account
it is reported that two German sub
marines are missing and that a third
had been hit and possibly sunk by a
French destroyer.
Besides the vessels which fell vic
tins to the submarines, one Norwe-
gian and two American steamers have
been sunk by Minis in the North sea
and the Swedish steamer Specia and
one or two British steamers are over
due, and it is feared have been lost
with their crews.
In almost every case the steamer
sunk by the submarine was a small
and slow vessel and at least three Of
them were caught while at anchor
or while they were barely under way
This, with the failure of the sub
marine to hit fast cross channel
steamer at which it fired a torpedo
apparently proves to the satisfaction
of British naval writers that the
steamers with modern speed, which
observe obvious precautions, can in
variably escape the underwater craft
and such vessels are continuing to
cross the seas.
