EXPECT WILSON
TO PREVENT STRIKE

Washington, Aug. livery eyi-
dence OF confidence was shown this
afternoon by administration officials
that President Wilson will succeed In
his efforts to prevent the threatened
open war between the railroads OF
the country and the 400, 900 employees
represented by the big four brother
hoods. This was the situation when
the committee representing the man
ayers OF the railroads went into ses-
sion with the president at 8 O'Clock.
There will be no strike" one
high government official asserted, but
like others displaying the same op-
timism, could not offer anything to
substantiate his belief.
The cheerfulness shown by the
brotherhood representative follow
ing their morning conference with
President Wilson was generally re-
Elected. The opinion grew that the
employees representatives had indi-
Gated to the president willingness
to have the differences arbltrated,
provided II we're confined strictly to
the issue Of an eight-hour day and
time and half for overtime. and
that the managers had indicated -
perhaps through Judge Chambers Of
the mediation board--that they
would cease to insist that their count
er-proposals be considered at the
same time.
The railroad managers. twenty in
number. arrived at the White House
at 1855. None would make any com
ment.
The president followed the same
procedure with the railroad men as
he did with the employees. Elisha
Lee was spokesman for the group.
Judge Chambers introduced the
managers to the president. Upon
leaving the White House afterward
he said
"The Ice appears to be melting q
little. u feel much better about the
situation than when came down this
morning. am very optimistic that
the president will be able to ac'
complish something. II ls unbeliev
able to me that there will be
strike"

About 25 farmers gathered in the

the appointed demonstration meeting
to see the results Of superphosphates

This field Of 20 acres was treated
with 200 pounds OF superphosphates

plication in the spring of 1916 with
the exception of one acre through the

just have an account where the
bureau of plant industry at Wash

1913. or over 81 percent of these ad-
ulterated with timothy seed. These
1873 samples were taken from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast. The
highest percent of purity was S2.1
percent while the worst was 1859
percent. and there were all grades
between these. Why did they use
timothy seed? Because 1t Is cheap

COMMERCE. AND THE GOVERN
MENT

( COMMERCE AND THE GOVERN
MENT
Present willingness Of both sides
interested in the railroad troubles OF
the nation to submit their conflict
ing claims to thoroughly reliable
arbitration medium. shows plainly
the need for such an institution. To-
day the only commonly acceptable
medium seems 10 be the presidentsof
the country. The executive head of
the United States is called upon to
bear the hrunt of negotiation be-
tween 100000 employees on the one
hand, and managers Of 225 railway
systems on the other. The enormity
OF the problem and the gravity OF its
results are only fully realized when
each hamlet on one OF the railway
systems brings home to itself the
meaning of a stoppage OF transporta-
tion. The entire adjustment is in
the hands Of one man. He is not
especially prepared on this question,
He has myriad of other important
matters to occupy his attention. He
has his own political future to work
for. Can one man whose life has been
spent in different world than the
railroad work now do justice to that
which is before him? Even II ne
does satisfactorily serve in this oc-
casion are we justified In leaving fu-
ture trouble for such emergency
remedies? The method has no sys-
TEN. It is slip-shod.
The next question arising is. "How
evade such methods, when neither
the federal board OF mediation and
conciliation nor the interstate COM
merce commission was acceptable by
the employes?" OF course, no man
can answer this question with in
fallibility, but to many 1t looks very
much as IL the Democratic admins
tration cut OF its own chance for
serving the nation to the best ad-
vantage in such cases when II abol-
ished the commerce court which had
been established under Republican
administration.
The United States commerce court
was established in order to make up
the very deficiency in the interstate
commerce commission OF which the
employees today complain, and which
is the chief reason for their unwilling
ness that the commission handle their
trouble. With the commerce COM
mission decisions and orders OF the
interstate commerce commission we're
handled with expedition and the long
delays in the courts suffered today
were eliminated. With such ef-
ficiency Of business established the
100000 employees today involved

"Love Routev

At the Dream the Love Route" which opened last night, has a title that leads one to believe that the play is @ wishy-wishy sort of produc- tion. Nothing Is further from the truth. There is no feminity about it.. that is, in the turtle dove line. The characters are real western charac- ters. Even Hazel Dawn, Q dainty lit- to actress. is strong and when she does fall In love. she does 1t without going head over heels into the platcn- ic tub-of gush. Every character is a display of western humanity. There are shooting stunts and lassoing stunts but they do not leave bad taste in ones mouth They are brought in SO easily and fit Into the story SO cleverly that they are all right. The railroad building scene is great one. There Is enough vim and dash about this scene that sends the blood @ tingling. "The Love Route" Is a snappy show and will be repeated tonight.

uThe Eacle'a Nest"

It is seldom that an audience wlt- nesses the man who writes his own play, doing the leading part. That is however what the orpheum goers witnessed last night. Edwin Arden wrote "The Eagles Nest" and played the leading role on the speaking stage for a score of seasons. Then he put t in the film drama and not only played the principal character. but superintended It's production and se- lected the different outdoor scenes.
 "The Eagles Nest" is Q real Western play but not of the wild and woody west. There Is one of the prettiest love stories running through five of the six reels that has been seen in Juneau. All of the characters are excellent and the play itself makes good. Same bill repeated tonight.

Little Local Interest

But little interest was taken in the big fight by the local sports and the betting was light At the local hang outs for fight fans today 1t was stat ed that there was less interest talk en in the Willard-Aioran bout than in any championship battle which has been pulled off in many years. Some money changed hands as a result. One man from a nearby mine, who is evi- dently an admirer of Moran put up s1OO and gave odds of to on the little man. One other man put up a couple of hundred on Willard, but taken as a whole. the betting was sur Drisingly light and the result of the fight was not very surprising to To- cal fight fans.

NEW YORK, March 27.- At MaH son Square Garden Saturday night Champion Jess Willard outponted Frank Moran in their ten round slug ging match and Willard received the decision notwithsta.S,snc the fact thai he broke his right in the third period.
 The match was staged before 12,- 900 spectators which made up tho lar gest crowd that ever witnessed an in- door pugilistic contest in the State of New York.
 Willard's best fighting was done in the third round. in spite of the fact that he broke his right hand A small bone on the back part of his hand was fractured when he shot a right smash to Moran's jaw No one in the vast audience knew of Willard's mis- hap until the battle was over
 Bout Was a Surprise
 The match was a complete surprise to the spectators inasmuch as both men battled as hard as they could from gong to gong. Moran was the aggressor in all except two rounds and he frequently rushed the cham pion to the ropes However, Moran's timing was bad and he exhibited lit- tic boxing skill. Willard landed three punches for every one of Moran's but the Pittsburger seemed to have more power in his wallops Willard failed to show wonderful boxing abil- ity with which he has been credited. Moran had absolutely no trouble in breaking through his guard There was no question however as to Will lard's right to the decision. Every one of the sixteen New York news paper sporting editors agreed

 Frank Moran made the following statement in his dressing room after the match: 'I think the fight speaks for itself There was not a moment when any blows hurt ne There were a good many times when my blows hurt Willard. am feeling fine and was never in better shape in any fight than the one ] went through with Willard. ! felt fine throughout the contest.
