FURTHER CUT IN PHONE
Rates MAY Be ORDERED
Utilities Board Possibly Will Require
Additional Reduction After Study
ing Valuation Report.

\ further reduction OF telephone rates
in the District may be ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission after officials
OF the commission have made a closer
study of the report of the valuation bu-
reau on the financial affairs Of the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone Company.
This was learned yesterday from an au-
thoritative source.
The voluntary reductions made by the
company on Tuesday were prompted. it
Is believed. after the company had stu
died a copy of a tentative report made
by the valuation bureau Of the Public
Utilities Commission on the property and
financial condition of the company.
The Commission itself has given prac-
ticaIly no study to the report yet and
will not be ready for some time to
consider the tariffs Of the telephone COM
pany with that report as q basis. A
further reduction in rates will be ordered
II a thorough Investigation Of the re-
port warrants such action. It was stated.
The Commission probably will submit
similar tentative reports to the other
public service companies as soon as they
can be prepared, thereby enabling these
CORPORATIONS to make voluntary reduc-
tIons before the Commission formally acts
on the reports.
The work Of valuing the public utilities
is rapidly being completed. The engineer

NAVY NEEDS MONEY
FOR ITS DRAUCHTSMEN
Work k on Ships Will Be Delayed if
Congress Don't Get Busy.
1t Is Said.

Unless Congress appropriates an addi-
tional sum of $4,000 for draughtsmen in
the navy none Of the warships proposed
in the administrations naval building
program can be started before April.
1917. II the appropriation is granted the
Navy Department will be in position to
let contracts within six weeks after Con-
gress passes the program.
The situation has been put up to Chair
man John ]. Fitzgerald, of the House
Appropriations Committee. by Acting
Secretary Of the Navy Franklin d.
Roosevelt. 1t was learned yesterday. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Roosevelt, the $4,000
asked for will provide for sixty to sew
enty additional draughtsmen, or an in
crease Of 80 per cent With the present
force. he said. plans for the big Dread
noughts could not be completed in less
than eighteen months.
At the present time the draughting
room is at work on plans for types of
vessels which 1t is thought Congress will
be certain to approve. But as Secretary
Daniels himself has not definitely deter
mined on the type Of Dreadnought to be
built the plans for these vessels will not
be started until after the naval building
bill Is passed. The general board has
urged the adoption Of a type larger than
any ever before constructed In the
world and calling for a tonnage OF 5000
tons.

SAFETY FIRST WITH FREIGHT

Ninety-ninc Railroads Save Sj,6OO,-

AFTER having conducted q safety first

Gently achieved some very good results
by applying safety first principles to
the handling Of freight" says the Rail-
way Age Gazette. THE Committee on
Packing. Marking. and Handling OF
Freight. in Its recent report to the Ameri-
can Railway Association, submitted
statistics showing that ninty-nine roads
had saved g 10000 by the reduction Of
their payments for loss and damage to
freight, during the first six months or
1915. as compared with a similar period
In 1914.
''The reduction Is about q per cent.
and as the freight revenues for this
period indicate a much smaller decrease.
these figures mean not only an absolute
saving, but an improvement in relation
to the volume Of the traffic. 1t would
appear from these figures the COM
mittee says, that the railroads have
checked the tide in payments for loss
and damage which has been rising, ana
rising rapidly. since the fiscal year 1903.
This represents only one Of the ways
in which the railroads have been in
creasing their efficiency. but that it Is
an exceedingly important one is in
dicated by the fact that the freight loss
and damage payments OF the railways
of fhe United States and Canada for the
fiscal year 1914 amounted to $;s.O000o0.

RIVER OLDER THAN MOUNTAIN
Ogden Valley VIII Not Widen Un-
til Heights Stop Growing.


The guidebooks to western travel
issued by the United States Geological
Survey explain some things which at
first sight seem inexplicable..
Ogden Canyon, a deep notch with
bare cliffs of hard pink Quartzite on
both sides, was cut in the solid rock by
the river which flows through II. Run
ming water carrying sand and gravel
acts as a saw or file and, given time
enough, can cut through the hardest
rocks. Ogden River was flowing west
along its present course before the
lofty Wasatch Mountains came into
existence. The raising Of the mount
tains went on slowly for ages. SO slow
ly that the river kept its place by
cutting down Its ever-rising beds.
carving a deep and narrow canyon
straight through the block of the
earths crust as II rose.
In no other way can scientists ra-
tionally account for a river rising on
one side of the range and flowing d.
rectly across it Movement of the
mountain mass has continued down to
the present time-at least there has
been recent disturbance along the base
of the Wasatch Range, as Is shown by
faults which traverse the lake de-
posits and the modern alluvial aprons.
Some of the breaks are so new as to
be devoid of vegetation. The upward
movement of the mountains has been
80 continuous that the river has had
no opportunity to widen its valley, a
task which It will begin a. soon As
the mountains cease rising. Overland

Ingenious Methods Enployed by
Him to Escape TrapPers.
Maybe you've seen him playing in a
stream or pond, diving, swimming and
circling about like children at a game OF
tag. You would hardly think you were
builders of the world. II by any chance
you discover his home burrowed in the
bank Of a stream or pond, you'll see
how he has earned his title. His name
is muskrat, also called mushquash, and
he's at home throughout the United
States, except in the South.
When q muskrat builds his home he
makes . door along the bank under the
surface Of the water. Then he burrows
upward, sometimes many yards. ending
the tunnel in a room above the water
line, where he can sleep without fear of
hunter or trapper.
Trappers are his worst enemies. for
the muskrat fur has q commercial value.
1t is a reddish brown and Is used as a
substitute for beaver. The animal Is
about fifteen inches long. and his tail.
which he uses as q rudder in SWIM
ming, is about ten inches long.
He eats grasses, roots and acorns, and
II he's near q garden or truck patch
he will make a raid on the farmers
turnips and parsnips. He's also q can
nibal. II one member Of the muskrat
colony is injured. his mates will set
upon him and eat him.-Philadelphia
