arbitration law through congress. Ihe
employees, he recalled, had consistently
refused arbitration and he believed it
was impossible to gain it in the pres
ent controversy. President Wilson
urged again that the railroads accept
the plan, adopt the S-hour day at least
temporarily and then allow the pro-
posed commission to fully investigate
the facts. He pointed out that the
railroads brought forward one set of
statements and the employees another
and it was impossible for him to tell
which was correct.
In conclusion President Wilson said
he believed his plan was the only
equitable way of settling the contro-
versy and that under it both sides
would be treated fairly. He consid-
cred it useless to discuss the principle
of arbitration when it seemed impos-
sible to bring about an arbitration in
the present situation.
Urges Acceptance of Plan.
Mr.. Holden Gave the president estf-
mates of the cost of the eight-hour day
to the railroads. President Wilson IN
reply urged that the railroad officials,
with the committee of managers, very
carefully consider his plan before Civ
ing any final answer. That was agreed
to by the railroad executives.
It was learned definitely that n
their acceptance of President Wilson's
plan the employees made no reserva-
ton.
One of the railroad presidents said
after the conference that he did not
consider the situation hopeless but
that it was very serious. President
Wilson, he said, had asked for a
Showdown" and that the railroad Off
Gals would give a final answer as soon
as possible. After the conference
President Wilson telegraphed to 4
number of presidents of western roads
inviting them to come to Washington.

PLAN TO TAKE Up
TRACKS AT ONCE
Spur to the Arsenal Span on Forty
Second Street to Be Removed
Immediately, Decided.
ROUTE MOLINE CARS NEW WAY
Island WOrkmen Living I'm Neighbour
ing City VIII Ride to Rock Island
and Then on Bridge Line.

Decision was reached today at a
meeting held in the Office of Mayor
McConochie which will permit imme-
date tearing up of the Tri-City Rail-
way company's tracks on Forty-second
street This will give the Moline Plow
company full rein in the construction
of it's buildings in the east end of the
city.
Officials of the railway company and
the Moline Plow company attended
the meeting. Colonel George w. Burr,
commandant of the arsenal, was con-
ferred with and he endorsed the plan
as outlined by the officials of the com
panies.
Employees of the arsenal living in
Moline will leave for work Is or 20
minutes earlier each morning, begin
ming Tuesday. The cars will be rout-
ed through Rock Island. They will
pass over the Third avenue line, but
instead of branching off to the arsenal
at Forty-secOnd street, will continue
to Rock Island and proceed to the
arsenal over the Bridge line route.
Workmen on the arsenal living east of
Twentieth street will be entitled to
board the cars.
The new ruling will be in effect IN
til the tracks are laid on Forty-third
street, at which time the Moline en-
ployes again will be transferred to
the arsenal over the bridge in the east
end of the city.
This will make possible the early
completion of the work on the con-
struction of the six factories by the
Moline Plow company. If the matter
had not been so arranged delays
would have been encountered, as the
work would have been held back until
the tracks were constructed on Forty
third street
Grading Street Now.
Work of grading Forty-third street
is in progress. Within a short time
the track work will be started The
new plan will be explained to arsenal
workmen SO as to apprise them that
it will be necessary to leave their
homes a quarter Of an hour earlier.

which the Nautilus in her early days did not
have. If she had been equipped with periscopes
in 1866 and 1867. it is probable that she would
not have been in collision with the Columbus the
Shannon, the Helvetia and other ocean steam
ships during those years, much to the annoyance
of their owners and the mystfcation of the
public. Also, the Nautilus in her rencarnation
has wireless telegraph equipment. something
which she did not in her early days, because
Marconi had not then been born. For the rest of
1t. the Nautilus is the Nautilus still.
"a very full description of the Nautilus is con-
tanned in the log written up by Mr.. Aronna1
from the dctatiOn of Captain Memo. He men
tons that the captain showed him the plans

the original drawings made by Mr.. Verne,
perhaps tracings of the originals If they had
been blue prints, Mr.. Aronnax would doubtless
have spoken of them such; but. of course.
they were not, as blue prints not in use in
those days. The captain went on:
"'Here. NJ. Aronnax, are the several dimen-
sions of the boat. 1t is an elongated cylinder
with conlcal ends. 1t is very like a cigar in
shape, shape already adopted in London in
eral constructions of the same sort. The length
of this cylinder, from stem to stern is exactly
232 feet and its maximum breadth is % feet. 1t
is not built quite like your long-voyage steamers.
but its lines are sufficiently long and its curves
prolonged enough to allow the water to slide off
easily and oppose no obstacle to its passage.
"'When the Nautilus is afoat one-tenth is out
of the water Now, if have made reservoirs of
a size equal to this tenth and if fill them with
water the boat weighing then 1,507 tons, will be
completely immersed. These reservoirs are in
the lower part of the Nautilus. l turn on taps
and they fill. and the vessel sinks.
"'Also, when 1 have a mind to visit the depths
of the ocean, make of slower but not less
infallible means. To steer this boat following a
horizontal plan, use ordinary rudder fixed

AGRICULTURAL WORK
 SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Extensive Operations for Or charding on Bloomquist
 Ranch, Hog Canyon.

A story of decided development, along the lines of agriculture and fruit raising was brought to the district, yesterday, by Richard Davis and Mrs Davis who returned from a few days spent at the ranch of Oscar Bloom wuist in Hog Canyon, some miles northeast of Douglas.
 According to Davis preparations are now being made by Bloomquist to plant five thousand fruit trees on his property In order to adequately take
 care of the trees the rancher is hay
 ing installed a thirty horse power gas
 oline engine which will drive his pump and which will be used to fill fifty
 thousand gallon tank now being built The trees will all be planted during the coming spring. and will be divided into one hundred varieties but peach
 will predominate in the selection. That Bloomquist will have one of the most extensive orchards in South ern Arizona is the contention of Da- wis and that his farm will be a revela- tion is another assertion. Of the cat tie industry, in which the former Bis bee man is engaged Davis declares it is iourishing with the stock in ex- cellent condition
