The floating wharf Il In use on the
Tennessee river. as seen in the wharf
boat at Paducah where the difference
between high and low water Is appar-
emily much less than ct Knoxville,
where the difference is forty feet At
RiTerton, Alabama, there is an inclins
with railway down to the water, two
tracks being used By cable cars, or
modernly likely, by auto trucks, which
could be assisted by cables. At any
rate, Keokuk should plan more for
low water and tow boat service than
for big steamers or barges either. and
1t Is believed the saving herein indt
Gated would be considerable. Yet the
boat house idea would imply ample
height Of wall for occurrence of high
water. and also provide landings high
enough for record floods. The viaduct
and boat house plan would avoid much
4.lling, and what I'LL would be made
could be with material on the spot
taken out in making foundations and
deepening the water under the wall
or wharf. but whatever IS planned, II
Keokuk really aims high, it will be
seen to that II railroads and boats are
to connect at all It must be at more
than one landing place and the ordi-
nance be 50 submitted to the people.
The city need not be the corporation
to provide the wharf boat, even IL It
uses its power to tax for such pur-
pose, though the city could control
the charges at the wharves- The Unit
ed States should stand a share Of the
expense owing to IDS interest in com
merce, preparedness, etc.

Floating Wharf W. Sea Wall.

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
Mr.. Nolen exhibited a picture Of q
combined landing and boat house that
looked fine. Not knowing whether 1t
Is possible to approach a landing from
both up stream and down stream d.
rections, it Is not easy to plan a COM
bination of viaduct leading to slop-
ing landing with a curve up or down
stream thus getting both a sea wall
and sloping landing with boat house
beneath the wall. There might be
two slopes and a wall and boat house
beneath, while a floating wharf with
crane could come later as needed and
be located far enough out in the riv-
er not to prevent access to the boat
house by small launches.

In the possibility OF man attaining

Mexican Commissioners Demand
Withdrawal Of American TroOpS

New London, Conn.-The fat has
been thrown into the fire, 30 far as
the American and Mexican commits
sioners are concerned, by develop
ments which took place here Thurs
day.
The Mexican commissioners precipi-
tated situation which bodies i'll for
success unless President Wilson
should back down.
Acting under instructions from Gen
eral Carranza, they demanded that
General Pershing's troops be with
drawn. The American commissioners
flatly refused to do anything Of the
kind.
The commissioners insisted their
government could not consent to pro
l-tracted negotiations SO long as Amer
lean soldiers were in occupation oi
Mexican territory. The American
commissioners inquired II General
Carranza were ready with troops tc
occupy the territory which, If the Mex
ican demand were needed, General
Pershing would evaeuate.
The Mexican commissioners declin.
ed to bind their government to any
condition, holding that as a matter OF
right they were justified in requiring
General Pershing to leave their coun,
try, and as a matter of justice, of
friendship, President Wilson ought not
to hesitate In directing him to return
north Of the border.
Here the matter rests. The Ameri-
can commissioners forwarded the
facts to Secretary Lansing, who will
submit the report to the president for
his decision.

Demand for Horses for Europe
Continues; Supply Seems Endless

Denver. - Continued demand for
American horses by British and
French governments for use on Euro
pean battlefields has robbed "broncho-
busting" OF its glamour and reduced
that time-honored industry and fea-
ture Of frontier celebrations to the
level Of mere drudgery.
Hundreds Of horses from all sec
tions of the Rocky Mountain region
are bought for European export at the
Denver stockyards daily. and many
other hundreds are rejected. Each
animal must be mounted and ridden
as part Of the inspection, and noted
riders from many Western states are
employed in the work. Well-known
busters" who have won champion
ships in the past now are riding as
many as so horses q day.
The supply Of "gun fodder" as the
riders call the horses, seems unend-
ing. The standard of requirements
was lowered somewhat when receipts
began falling off, and horses are being
accepted now that were rejected for.
merly. Shipments continue to be
heavy, and weekly purchases often
run into the thousands.

About Oregon
Oregon Has Overlooked Many
Valuable Permanent Resources

University of Oregon, Eugene. -
Among the coming great industries of
Oregon, H. B. Miller classes flax grow
ing, milk condensing, manufacture Of
fertilizer, raising of broccoli, and
manufactures from lumber. Mr.. Miller
is director of the state university
school of commerce, which makes in
vestigations of markets and possibili-
ties for industries.
Broccoli he pronounced we'll adapted
to the Willamette valley climate, an
excellent shipper, and usable when all
other green vegetables are gone.
The sources of fertilizer may be
two: from the nitrogen of the air and
from the beds of certain south central
Oregon lakes, notably Summer and
Albert lakes.
For the manufacture of fertilizer
from the air, Mr.. Miller said great
development of Oregon's 3,250,000 idle
horsepower would be necessary; and
this horsepower, he said, would play
the greatest part in future economic
growth.
"Oregon made a great mistake when
1t went extensively into the apple bust
ness" said Mr.. Miller. "Oregon's spe-
cial adaptation to apples was skilled
labor. Skilled labor is transferable,
and SO today other sections nearer the
big markets are producing as good
fruit as Oregon, with Oregon unable
to meet the competition because of
transportation"

Two Largest Companies Unite for I'm.
provement Of Public Service.
THIRTEEN STEAMERS INCLUDED
President Of New Company Declares
Great Increase Of Trade Makes
Move Almost Necessity.

Seattle.-Merger of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company and the Pa
cific Alaska Navigation company into
new steamship company to be known
as the Pacific Steamship company is
announced here.
The merger, affecting 13 large pas
senger and freight steamships of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company and
nine Of the Pacific Alaska Navigation
company, will go into effect November
1. The merger was ratified by the
boards of directors of the Pacific Coast
company and the Pacific Alaska Navi-
cation company, the former meeting
in New York and the latter in Tacoma.
The financial details Of the merger
were not given out in the announce
ment here, but the vessels involved
are said to be valued at more than
$12,O00,000.
In making the announcement, Man
ager A. F. Haines of the Pacific Alas
ka Navigation company, gave out the
following statement prepared by Pres
ident H. F. Alexander:
"The Pacific Steamship company
has been formed by the Pacific Coast
Steamship company and the Pacific
Alaska Navigation company to operate
along the entire Pacific Coast, includ-
ing Alaska, with the further purpose
of extending its service In other direc-
tions, and has made arrangements to
operate all Of the vessels Of the Pacific
Coast company and the Pacific-Alaska
Navigation company.
"In view Of the great scarcity of YES
sells on the Pacific Coast, due to the
greater demand for them in other
trades, and the inability to secure ad-
ditional vessels under existing condi-
tions for the trade Of the Pacific
Coast, the Pacific Coast company and
the Pacific Alaska Navigation COM
pany, after carefully considering the
situation, have decided that they can
best serve the interests of the public
with more efficien service and more
frequent sailings by operating the two
fleets under a management that will
eliminate the disadvantages to the
travelling and shipping public which
necessarily attend the operation of the
two fleets separately"
The merger involves ships having
gross tonnage of more than $4,000
tons, the tonnage of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company being more than
"a, 900 tons.

Movable Schools.

One of six day movable schools will
be conducted by the extension service
of the Oregon Agricultural college
throughout the year, the type OF school
work being changed during the various
seasons.
Any local organization, such as a
farmers union, grange or other or
ganization in which farmers Of the
community are interested, may pro
mote movable school. In counties
having county agents, 1t is necessary
to arrange for the school through
them. Such organizations or persons
interested in securing a movable
school, should take up the matter witt
the extension service, Oregon Agricul
tural college, Corvallis.
Owing to the heavy demand mad
for this type of work the past few
years and to the failure of some point
to meet the expectations of the or
ganizers and the extension service, {
few special requirements are beint
made of all communities requesting
this service.
/. Organize a class Of not fewer
tudu tWtuIy pSOplo Aoi q ohO uoy
school and Of not less than forty per
sons for a longer school, these people
agreeing to attend all sessions re
quested.
2. Provide a room in which to hold
the school or a place for demonstra.
ton, take care of heat, light and jani-
tor service, and furnish conveyance to
and from the railroad station for in
structors in charge of the work.
8. Furnish the demonstration ma
terial necessary for the type of school
desired.
4. Agree to issue 1000 copies of
program for the movable school and
distribute these as instructed.
5. To advertise the school as wide
ly as possible throughout the COM
munity.
The following lines of work will be
taken up in movable school work dur
ing this year: Horticulture, agron-
omy, poultry, dairy, animal husbandry,
home economics, and special subjects
as may seem desirable.

extension service, Oregon Agricultural
college, Corvallis, Oregon, or see the

BUSINESS GOOD IN NORTHWEST;
PRODUCERS RfAPMG BENEFITS

Washington, d. C.-Generally pros
porous conditions are reported
throughout the Pacific Coast in the
federal reserve monthly bulletin. OF
conditions on the north coast, the bull
letin says:
Grain crops, though of less than
the usual volume, are commanding
such prices that the money returns
are above the normal. Although there
have been large shipments of wheat
by rail from the Pacific Northwest to
the east, many farmers have not yet
sold, holding in the expectation of
higher prices. The barley crop fell
considerably short Of the earlier esti-
mates, but with the carry-over there
were approximately 100000 tons (near-
ly 100000 bushels) beyond domes.
tic requirements and available for ex-
port Prices are So and $40 ton
higher than last year.
"The apple crop of California, Ore
gon and Washington is estimated at
5,S00,OOO barrels, which is little
above normal. The quality is excep-
tional and high prices are ruling.
Hops will yield about 100000 bales,
or 10000 bales more than last year.
This is far in excess of domestic re-
quirements. The British embargo on
exports has affected prices most un-
favorably, bids of 10 to IL cents COM
pairing, for example, with 434 cents
in 1911.
"The salmon pack Of the Pacific
Coast, including Alaska, is about 20
per cent below normal. A leading
packer says that from the sellers
point of view the salmon markets Of
the world are in better condition than
at any time since 1900.
Mining continues its great activity,
with expanding output.
There has been no material change
in the unsatisfactory condition of the
lumber industry, lack Of transporta-
tion facilities being the greatest handi-
cap. Ships for the lumber trade, with
an aggregate carrying capacity Of 30,-
100000 feet, are now building on this
coast"

MeatIess pay Advised.

London.-One meatless day a week
for all not engaged in heavy manual
labor is the chief recommendation for
the regulation of food prices made by
the board of trade committee which
has been investigating the increase in
the cost Of living. The committee also
recommended the opening Of meat
shops In districts where retailers are
obtaining excessive profits. A third
step advised is the revision of pay
rolls.
