pansion it is said that this industry
will soon assume an Importance equal
to that of the entire agriculture pro-
duction west of the Rocky mountains.
Lumber production, too, apparently
is at the maximum, stimulated by in
creased construction of wooden ships
and army cantonments
Contrasting with this rosy state OF
affairs is the labor situation. Short

and 1. w. w. activity are becoming
serious, according to the report.

report of the federal reserve bank of

day.
Food production will show a large
increase this year over last, the bank
finds. For instance, Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon and California this year
will produce 100000 bushels of po-
tatoes compared with 100000 last
year, and in Utah, Oregon, Idaho and
Nevada the sugar beet acreage has
been increased about 10000 in the last

Idaho, the bank finds, will produce
twice as many apples as last year, al
though the crop of Washington and
Oregon will be somewhat less.

HOW GERMAN.
SPIES WORK
SECRET SERVICE MEN UNCOVER
ELABORATE SYSTEM IN
SWEDEN
By Arthur E. MANN

STOCKHOLM-Allie secret servic
and intelligence officers, with the &C
operation of the police of the Scan
danavian countries, have recently sue
ceeded in unearthing and dispersin
large and well organized German
submarine intelligence office headquar
tiers in Gothenburg, Swened.
In their Investigations the officer
discovered naval intelligence map o
the waters surrounding the British
Isles and the North Sea. The watel
area on the map was divided into small
squares, each one numbered. An elab
crate code was also found for use in
conjunction with this map.
An Ingenious Scheme
Messages based on this code, al
though apparently reading like private
merchantile kilograms and cablegrams
could in reality be deciphered into ac-
curate descriptions of allied warships
or of belligerent or neutral merchant
men.
From the spy headquarters in Goth
enburg, agents were sent to Scandan-
avian ports and attempts were made,
whether successful or not, to get them
into England. These agents were sup
piled with the code and map men
toned and were reporting to headquar-
ters on the sailings Of merchantmen.
1t is supposed that in some way the
headquarters in Gothenburg commun-
icated the information to German sub
marines at sea, probably by wireless
stations hidden along the coast.
How Things Work
One of the chief branches of the
Gothenburg office was in Christiana
and Norwegian was actually engag-
ed there to 90 to England on the es-
pionage service, being supplied with
the code and map in addition of pro-
cess of invisible ink writing for mail
reports. Another branch was in NAL
mo, Sweden. 1t is believed that many
of the agents of the German spies in
Gothenburg were Scandanavians At
about the same time of the discovery
of the Gothenburg office, a German
giving the name of Klein was arrested
in Sweden, charged with plot to

What War Prices on Wool Have Done
to the Mems Clothing is
Sufficient

PORTLAND-There are only two
ways to secure an all-wool mems suit
now-either join the army. or navy or
pay twice the old price.
Clothing dealers say if an all-wool
suit is not already out of reach of the
average man, it soon will be. Govern
ment buyers have a habit of walking
into a wool warehouse and buying
everything but the building-all for
uniforms.
"The suit we formally sold for SIS,
will be $40 in the future, and they're
mighty near all cotton at that" said
one of the northwest's leading deal
ers here today. cts getting almost
impossible to buy all-wool cloth and
suits. The wooden mills and gar
ment factories are turning their en-
tire attention to army uniforms"

will not send their sales
men to the coast this year because
of the poor samples they have to
show"

Can Issue SubpOenas
The district judge is the presiding
member of the board in arbitration
hearings and he is authorized to issue
witness subpoenas, directed to the
sheriff of the county, for witnesses
who do not appear voluntarily. If
the parties agree, the board may be
increased to five by the addition of
of each of the two fac
lions engaged in the controversy.
All Awards in Writing
The boards award must be in writ
ing and must be duly delivered to
delegates of the contending parties.
Any failure to abide by the findings
made is deemed contempt of court
and is punished accordingly.

between fifty and one hundred and

we're injured. Following the explos-
len fire originated in the shrapnel
loading building where about four hun
bred men, women, boys and girls were
at work, but was confined to that build

hard fighting.
Later reports placed the number of
deaths at between 125 and 250, and
the injured not less than 300 One rail-
road official stated positively that near
ly three hundred were killed by the
explosion, but there was no confrma-
ton of this. Eighty bodies, seventy
nine of them those of girls, are at
various undertaking establishments
awaiting Identification.
The explosion, origin of which is as
yet undetermined, occurred in the

were employed, a second explosion

P0Y CRIED WHEN TOLD HE
COULD NOT ENLIST TO FIGHT

ATLANTA, Ga, April 10.--A bronze
faced country boy from county near
Atlanta walked into the recruiting Of
fee yesterday and applied for enlist
n.ent in the army. He said his age
was IS years, but a sister with him
claimed he was only II.
Inquiring into his circumstances,
Capt. Heidi, the recruiting officer,
found that the boys parents and ten
brothers and sisters are dependent
chiefly upon his supervision of the
farm for their support, the parents be-
ing advanced in years, and he being
the oldest of the children.
Il hate to do. it, son. said Captain
Heidi, "but / must turn you down be-
cause your family need you worse than
the government. Wait till yiu have
them provided for and then come
back
The boy went out with tears rolling
down his cheeks. I'm not going to
spend nickel until get the folks in
shape to live without me, and then
I'm going back" he said.
And his case is typical of many that
come before the recruiting officers in
the different branches of the service. a
steady stream of young men are pour
iEg into the recruiting stations, and
those turned down for various reasons
ere almost without exception bitterly
disappointed, and go away declaring
that they will make up whatever def
cheney prevents their acceptance and
come back again, and keep coming I'M
til they get into the service of Uncle
Sam.

the confiscation of a $4,000 touring car.

At this moment the legislator pass

he found it contained, just as he K

they certainly would have seized and
sold the car, as provided by the law,
said the legislator, relating the Incl

CULPEPPER CLAIMS HE WILL
BE ELECTED SPEAKER OF HOUSE

ATLANTA, Ca, April 10.-Now that
prohibition has been disposed Of, at
least for the present, the principal topic
o: interest among members of the
Georgia legislature coming into Allan
ia on court matters and other business,
is the race for the speakership OF the
house of representatives.
In this race there are three candi-
Gates: Representative N. F. Culpep'
per, of Meriwether county, who has
served in the house several years
Representative w. H. Burwel, OF
Hancock county. who has been speaker
If the house for the last four years AMI
Is running for another term, and Rep
resentative John N. Holder, of Jack
sen county, a former speaker of the
house, who has come back for the
1878 session and aspires to WELD
the gavel again.
Representative Culpepper was in the
city yesterday, comforting with friends
in regard to his race and gave out a
statement expressing confidence in his
election:
II will lead the ticket on the first
ballot if Mr.. Holder stays in the race
thus making it a three-cornered con-
test" he said. Mr.. Burwell will be
second, and probably a close second
Mr.. Holder will be third. Mr.. Burwell
lacks a great deal of having majority
of the votes in the house. Should Mr
Holder stay in the race, there proba
bly, will be no election on the first bal
lot, but my strength will increase on
subsequent ballots"
In the senate there is likewise a con-
test in which legislators are much in
terested, and it is remarkable coinci-
dence that the candidates are all men
who served in the house during 1856
and who are now elected to the senate
They are Samuel l.. Olive, of Augusta
Judge H, W. Hopkins, of Thomasville
eLd Walter p. Andrews, of Atlanta.
