REPRESENTATION IN THE
%, CONVENTION
Four Large CouTtIes Have Only 20
Delegates Out of 1877.

Th9 plan which has been adopted
for the Aswsaesa tation of the people
in the ps0nesed Constitutional Con-
vention is the fairest representation
that has ever been offered the citi-
zens Of this State In, any legislative as
sembly.
For the first time In Tennessee's
history, EVERY COUNTY, no matter
how small its population, will have its
OWN INDIVIDUAL. DELEGATE. IL
will be the first time that several coun-
ties have ever had an independent vote
in any legislative gathering And those
counties should show their apprecia-
ton OF this maiden right by voting
strongly for the convention. Hereto
fore these same counties; so small is
their population, have had to be con-
aent with Representations Jointly with
ather counties
2 The delegates in the convention will
be 1877. All counties under 10000 pop
ulation according to the 1910 census
will be each entitled to one delegate.
The counties exceeding shat popula-
tiOn will be entitled to an additional
delegate for each additional 10000 Of
population or majority fraction there
OF: On this basis the various counties
VIII be entitled to the following dele
gates:
Shelby, 10; Davidson. z Knox, s,
and Hamilton 4.
Fayette. Gibson. Giles, Green, Mad
ison, Maury, Montgomery, Rutherford
and Weakley will have two delegates
eZch.
All the other counties in the State
will have one delegate each
On this basis Of representation, one
fact stands out pre-eminently, viz.
that the delegates from the less popu-
lSus counties will be in tSe great ma
Iority IN the convention. The counties
containing the four large cities will
rave together only rs delegates out Of
the 1877. Therefore the control OF the
convention will rest with the delegates
elected by the farmers and by their
business and professional friends in
he nearby towns.
This one fact should make all pro-
gressive citizens Of the. rural commun-
ties strong advocates 5or the conveM-
dsn.

WHEAT SITUATION.

The wheat situation in the
United States as regards 1917
crop, according to the government
Crop Report for June, looks lit
tie better. 1t is forecasted that
the total crop will be 656, 900, 600
bushels. an increase over the final
production of last year of 16, ia, =
900 bushels. In the state, how
ever, there is estimated a deficit
of 3, 1853. 900 bushels from the crop
of last year which was 1858, 900.
Wheat in Marion county does
not show an extensive acreage,
altho there are quite a number of
good fields, which have developed
wonderfully in the last thirty
days. In order to defeat old h. C.
of l., our people should purchase
wheat at the thresher this year
and store it in we'll ventilated and
protected place just as they would
buy corn from the farmer in the
fall of the year for winter use,
and have it available for bread
stuff. This wheat can be made
into the ordinary commercial flour
at the local mills, but the manu-
facture of it into whole wheat or
graham flour is more economical
and really much more nutritious.
Anyway. whatever is your prefer
ence, prepare yourself to buy
enough wheat at the thresher to
last you this winter and till
another crop comes in. This idea
may not please the Spectator but
it is the best scheme for you, so
do not fail to make use of it.

CHROME DEPOSITS OF ALASKA

The deposits of chrome ore in AL aska have, until recently beon rather overlooked by the industrial com- panies of our country and 1t was not until the rise in the price of chromite that local operators have undertaken to market the ore. The more important known deposits are on the extreme far point of Kenai peninsula, while the zones of miner alization may be traced eight or ten miles inland. Although no systematic prospecting has been done to any great distance from the edge of salt watr, there are nevertheless several areas where important deposits of chromite has ben explored. Notable among these are the deposits of Red Mountain, described in the U. s. Geo. logical Survey Bulletin 5S7.

C. MURPHY
 ASSIST. DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Jeremiah c. Murphy, the we'll known lawyer of Anchorage, is slat- ed for assistant district attorney for the Third Judicial Division with head quarters in Anchorage, according to advices received here yesterday by leading democrat. Word of the inn pending appointment of MT. Murphy is said to have been sent by William Munly, the new district attorney, who formerly was the assistant district at torney in this city but who is now To- cated at Valdez.
 MT. Murphy was not a candidate for the office. His appointment was first suggested and then actively urg- ed by his friends. His selection for the place and his acceptance of it. democrats declare, would compose slight fractional differences in the party here, which arose over the re- cent appointment of MT. Munly to the district attorneyship. Some Anchorage democrats were free to characterize MT. Munly, who came to the territory only last spring, az carpet bagger, and frankly voiced their exceptions to his obtaining, br reason of politi- cal influence in the States, such a lu- crative office in Alaska after such comparatively shore residence.
 MT. Murphy has lived in Alaska about eight years. Most of this time he has spent in Fairbanks and other interior camps. About three years az" he located at Knik. where he remain ed about a year. When Anchorage was laid out, he came to this city and has since practiced law and been en- gagged in the newspaper business here. Before coming to Alaska he practiced law. in Minot, N. D. He is an able lawyer, and in the event of his ap- pointment to the assistant district at torneyship the legal business of the federal government will be capably handled.-Anchorage.

BUILD SHIP IN FIVE MONTHS
Others of British Standardized Typs to De Turned Out h About
 Sixteen Weeks Time.

The first of the standardized mer- chant ships built to order for the Brit ish government recently went through successful trials of very exhaustive character. says the Scientific Ameri- can. The type has been designed to provide a good cargO-carrier, in the shortest time, and with the least ex- penditure of material. The keel of this trial ship was laid last February, and in less than six months the ship was completed, loaded and ready for trial.
 The standardized vessels, which are of 5000 tons capacity. are built in two types-one a singls-deck for grain and the other twO-deck ship for general cargo. It is also intended te build two similar types, each of 5000 and 8.OOO tons carrying capacity. Not only the hulls but the engines are standardized. They have extra large hatchways to facilitate quick loading and discharg- ing-a most important feature. The first vessel was built in five months time, and 1t is expected that future vessels will be turned out In from four to four-and-one-half months

in . very unstable market. Should the present demand for chrome ore continue, however, throughout the coming year a more thorough pros pecting and development of thls belt will take place. g.
 Al though the conditions for mar keting have not justified large ex- penditure in this region, there are de- posits, nevertheless, so close to salt water as to make the shipment of this ore we'll worth while. Approxi- mately 1000 tons of ore, containing from 46 to 59 per cent chromium oxide, was removed from this deposit during the past summer. No develop ment work has been done to deter mine the extent of the deposit, and there remains approximately 1000 tons of ore in sight above the line of high tide. The ore between high and low tide is IS to 20 feet wide and con tains from 4S to 52 per cent chrom- ium oxide. No development plans for the working of this deposit below the line of high tide have been made. Some shipments of this ore were made by barges to the docks at Port Ora ham and Seldovia and thence by freighters to Seattle. but the greater part of the shipments were lightered a,.oo< srop, tho heach n steamers an- chored about 300 yards off shore. The present freight rate on 100-ton ship ments to Seattle is $3.50 per ton. From Seattle to Atlantic Coast points the railroad rate is $12 per ton. AS this material Is essentially a war product. no difaculty has arisen in obtaining cars. and satisfactory de- liyeries to Eastern points have ac- cordingly been made.-W. P.

TO COOPERATE IN RESEARCH
Dritish Plan sa Msthed ef Bringing About osst Possible AesuIts ses
 varieus lndustPies.

Realizing that many industrial firms are barred from the benefits of scien- tiflc research into their particular lines of activity by the great cost, re- ports Consul Franklin D. Hale, Hud- dersfleld, England. the Committee of the Privy Council for Scientific and h. dustrial Research proposes the intro duction of the cooperative idea. In this way firm that is unable to bear the entire expense of research could contribute to the cost and share in the benefits accruing to an industry as a whole. It is planned to establish trade research associations In England to be formed as needed for each in- dustry or group of industries, and aided by certain funds which the com mlttee has In charge. One association b about to be organized. for the cot ton industry. and others will be form! ed us soon as possible for the wool, flax, oil, and photographic industries.
 The work that has already been ac- cOmplIshed through the conmittee's efforts. according to Mir. Hale. includes the discovery of three kinds of optical glass. the investigation of light alloys for use in aircraft. and the production of . new hard porcelain from purely British ra'v material. Researches Into the recovery of tin are expected to save that industry . very large amount each year.
