AMERICAN SHIPPING
BEING DISCOURAGED

With the taking effect of the sea-
mans act coupled with the shortage
of tonnage, high freights and other
conditions due to the war in Europe
there has developed on the north
Pacific formidable fleet of Japanese
Ffreighters. 1t can safely be stated
that Nipponese tonnage now DOM
mates the trade of the north Pacific.
During the last few months Puget
Sound has built up an unprecedented
commerce with the orient, particu-
larly Vladivostok. With Archangel
closed, the Russian government
found that Puget Sound was the
ideal port thru which to ship its
thousands of tons of war material and
general supplies purchased in this
country.
In all this period of record busi-
ness by water, the Japanese freighter
has protited. The following data
showing clearances from Puget Sound
and Vancouver, B. c., during the first
six months of 1916 will give an idea
of the extent of this great trade
which mas been more than treble the
normal: January, IA; February, IA;
March, II; April, IL; May, %; June,
16; total, 100.
In nationality this great feet was
divided as follows as to number of
vessels: Japanese, 73; British, IL;
10; Norfeigian, Q; Rus
sian, 2; Mexican, 1. Thus it is easily
seen that of the vessels sailing for
the far east in the last six months
the Japanese furnished 73 per cent

OF ENEMY SHIP
STEER THE NEW TORPEDO

Considerable notice has been given
of late to a marine torpedo which is
so constructed that its movements are
guided by the sound waves issuing
from the vessel serving as its target.
This strange device is described in
the December Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The instrument is equip
ped with so-called mechanical ears.
Before the weapon is launched, the
latter are tuned to receive the vibra-
tions produced by the specific craft
that is the object of attack. With
this relationship established, the tor
pedo's propeller whirls and the rud-
der adjusts itself so that the missile
darts thm the water at it's enemy.
It's speed is twice that Of the fastest
naval vessel, while any change in the
enemy's course causes 1t to shift its
direction of travel correspondingly.
II it's approach is observed and the
engines of the vessel are stopped, the
torpedo's propeller also ceases revol-
wing and the instrument submerges
safeIy out of reach. 1t ascends and
continues the pursuit when the en-
gines in the ship are again started.

d. r. Jones, whose death was an
nounced recently at his old home at
Malad, was for many years a resi-
dent Of Blackfoot, and held the posi-
tion Of cashier for D. W. Standrod &
company and later Of the Blackfoot
State bank,
Mr.. Jones was man of rather un-
usual business ability and had q
happy faculty of taking unusual risks
and having things terminate all right.
He would grant loans to men whose
applications would be refused by the
average banker, and contrary to all
expectations of others, the fellow
would pay off the debt. A man want
ing a loan for business venture
could apply to Mr.. Jones and get it
on showing that was insufficient
with most bankers, and Jones would
seem to sense success or failure and
grant or refuse 1t on an inner sight
that would prove to be right. A.
stranger might walk into the bank
and Jones would be cashing checks
for others and yet he would size up"
the stranger by the time he got to
the pay window, and without any
identity but his personality he would
get a check cashed. II Jones pushed
sum of money thru the window at
the stranger he might not have any
thing more definite about the mans
worth than smile and an Elk watch
charm, and yet IL crook tried the
same approach Jones would apply
the rule requiring an endorser.
"hnn Mr. Vnnno OF hfc
when "the light within" was support
ed by all his energies and his intel
lect, he was the peer of any man in
the state at bank window, but he
was not always at his best, and con-
tlicting wishes and ambitions strug-
Cling for the mastery brought him
within the range of bad decisions,
troubles multiplied till he lost the
scepter, his activities were confined
to spheres in which he could not ex-
ercise his transcending powers and
the end of his career was reached.
