Of farmers desiring to hold products

titicates of deposit or warehouse re-

TO farmers who produce non-perish-
able crops such as grain. wool. tobac-
co. apples, etc. Its immediate value
will depend upon the number and
location Of warehouses that qualify
under the act and the reception given
the warehouse receipts by banks and
business houses The Grain Standards
Act Is a companion act, long DELAYED
but necessary to the success of the
Warehouse measure. The Standards
Act Is obligatory. Itrequires the Sec
retary Of Agriculture to establish
standards for grains and make those
standards obligatory in all interstate
and foreign shipments # grain. 1t
provides further for inspection of
licensed persons acting under federal
authority. This law was necessary
to the successful operation of the
Warehouse act, giving a standard
basis upon which values could be cal.
culated. 1t should also prove of
value in foreign shipments. There
has been much complaint of the
quality of grain going to European
countries in the past year. and a fed
1ral system of inspection and grading
appear necessary to Give our grain a
'af" footing in future foreign trade. -

Government regulation Of market

says the Pennsylvania Farmer. 'Per-
haps it is well so. The session Of
Congress just closed pissed two laws
which are expected to have rather
far-reaching influence in general
marketing. They are known as the
Warehouse Act and the Grain Stand
ards Act. The Warehouse Act. which
is.permissable rather than compulsory.
permits any wsrehouseman who COM

himself in position to issue warehouse

ceptsble as security on loans. The

The subject Of permanent interest
so far as Delaware was concerned at
the meeirg Of the Waterway Conven.
tion last week was the widening and
deepening Of the Delaware and Chesa-
peake Canal The Wilmington Star
on this question says; Nothing that
was said at the Waterways Convention
here last week was more apt than the
brief speech of United States Senator
du Pont. and one sentence from his
Smyrna times., 1916-09-20

remarks might well serve for the plat
form of the advocates of the purchase
and enhancement of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal by the govern
ment. Deepening and widening the
canal are worth five times as much 10
the national capital as the same
amount spent for other purposes. >"
said the Senator. 1t is difficult 10
understood the letharpy and lndlfer-
ence Of Congress to the whole coast
canal project. Its value to the com
merce Of the country in time Of peace
and as means of defense in time Of
war have been so clearly and effect
vely shown by all who have carefully
examined the project that il would
seem no further argument would be
needed to inspire the government to
immediate action. Let Us hope that
By the time the next WATERWAYS Con.

peake and Delaware Canal will be
owned by the government and that its

 Adams is a graduate in aeronautics of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and with Donald w. Douglass, also of Boston, designed the hydroaero- plane of the biplane type in which the flight will be attempted.
 'I selected San Francisco as a start ing point" said Adams, because the machine will require a ship yard for assembling. The craft will be 1SS feet wide and S5 feet long and will be driv- cn by 8 motors working alternately by fOurs 1t will carry seven passengers. ."

Y SPORTS Y
STATE RIFLE SHQOT
 AT TUCSON IN APRIL
Crack Teams and individuals of State Will Compete for Prizes in Big
 Meet Held In April

Adjutant General Harris yesterday received some aditional information regarding the big southwestern rifle match to be held in Tucson on April F, 13, l4 and 15. All National Rifle as sociation clubs of this state have been invited to participate, as well as the National Guard companies and com panies of the regular army. There will be team and individual matches, most ly individual ones, however and there will be plenty of chances for the sportsman to prove his ability as a crack shot.
 Matches will be held in all ranges from 200 yards up to 1900 yards and there will be ten matches with trophies and cash prizes as well. The official program will be issued and distributed about March lst.
 According to the rules governing the shoot, any military organization or rifle club in the state may affiliate with the association upon payment of a membership fee of five dollars. and an nual dues amounting to five dollars Ten dollars will entitle any individual to life membership, and will exempt the holder from all further assess ments. If an annual membership is desired by an individual, fee of three dollars is charged and an annual due
 of two dollars. Heretofore the fees | thus collected have never paid all the i expenses incident to the holding ot
 the shoot, but it is hoped that more
 interest will be displayed in the contest
 this year so that it may at least be self supporting.
 Further particulars regarding the
 match may be obtained by addressing
 George J. Roslruge, secretary of the
 state rifle association at Tucson.

 STORM OF THE SEASON

The steamer Admiral Evans arriv- cd from the westward early yesterday morning. Passengers tell of the ter rife gale the ship had to weather. which delayed her arrival in Juneau. The storm reached its height in the vicinity of Port Graham. blowing over 80 miles an hour. The ship was heavily loaded with an outbound cargo.
 H. Lawrence of the Union Pacific one of the Junesu passengers. in speaking of the trip yesterday. said:
 Ut was the worst blow I ever was in aboard ship; we actually saw trees being blown up by their roots on the hills near Cordova. and one of the most aggravating things was the fact that our southern fried chicken. the piece de resistence for Sundays din ner. would not stay put. but flew all over the diningroom when the ship climbed up on the breakers. which came one right after another. ."-Ju- neau Empire.
