URGE Use OF
CANAL BARGES
Mississippi River Improve
ment Assn. Appeals to
Shipping Board
(By Associated Press.)

Winona, Mimi, Oct. 12.-An ap-
peal to the federal shipping board to
build. sell or lease upon the INSTALL
ment basis a large feet OF river
barges to enable the Mississippi
river to take it's place as Americas
greatest water highway as the Rhine
has become the greatest water high
way OF Germany, thus relieving the
railroads, already overtaxed in their
transportation problems, was voiced
at the closing session of the sixteenth
annual convention Of the Upper Mis-
sissippi River Improvement associa-
ton, here today.
The establishment OF a line Of light
draft barges. provided with power
full towboats along the German plan,
was urged as a necessity to enable
the Mississippi river to share in the
transportation burden OF the nation
during the war and be of aid to In
land manufacturers and shippers
after the war.
President wilkinson, of Burling-
ton, declared that the recent expert
ment in sending heavy barges over
the river with coal for st. Paul, re-
turning with iron ore for st. Louis,
was not an experiment.
There is no need to experiment
with the river on transportation
problems when you use river boats"
he said, but when you send battle
ships up the river 1t is an expert
ment. The steamer Nokomis, that
made the trip, drew 5lz feet Of wa
ter while the channel in many
places is but AZ feet.
The convention will close late to-
day with election of officers. Mayor
Irwin, of st. Paul, was a speaker at
the annual banquet last night.

A Philadelphia Idea.

Music and cleaning the parlor have
never been very closely associated.
When the housewife wants to play the
piano she generally waits until she
has cleaned the parlor, taken bath
and dressed herself in party clothes.
Now a Philadelphian has patented
dust-fltering attachment which can be
attached to the player-piano, and the
ordinary housewife can now seat her
self at the player-piano, obtain music
via the keys, work the pedals for all
she Is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
floor, she can have 1t clean in jiffy.
The bellows of the player are attached
to the vacuum cleaner by means OF
a special pipe, and in this manner the
needed vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

"SKY LINE" LOGGING LATEST
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps Of Oregon and
Washington skyline" method of log
ging Is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method of
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan Is to
run a cable through blocks or pulleys
suspended at a great height on giant
trees, so as to form sort Of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other obstruc-
tons to the rollway where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable. from which the
log is suspended, Is one of the main
lines, while the other Is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
Is lowered with its block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up;
1t Is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means of "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air log can, OF
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground.

"We should look upon such persons
who are willing as hosts to take the
best Of the food on the table, leaving

manners follows: Save and use ev-

and bones for soup. stews and hashes

need; clean out all bread and cake

many things to eat ut one meal; nave
only two courses at meals; use rice
instead Of potatoes; use rice water

This site has picturesque history.
A chalet camp was originally built
there several years ago by the con-
pany operating the east side hotel~.
Long after the close of the first season.,
and just before alternating time, big
hungry grizzly bear broke in and de-
voured everything eatable. He thea
proceeded to smash into bits every
thing In the chalet which was SMASH

undemolished.
The next season the hotel company
refitted the chalet and took care of

lowing winter an enormous avalanche
slipped down the eastern slopes OF
Mount Jackson and demolished the en-
tire structure as completely as the
grizzly had previously demolished Its
furniture.
This discouraged the hotel company

LOSE MILLIONS EVERY YEAR
Their Product In Firstciass Con-
dition for Market, II IL Said.

American wool growers lose between
six million and eight million dollars
year because they do not put their
wool up for sale in f1rst-class condi
ton. They get that much less cash
than the actual value Of the WOOL In
other words, foreign woods, Australian
particularly, bring in the Americas
warehouses from one cent to three
cents pound more than the same
grade of American wool because the
latter is carelessly prepared for mar.
ket. This difference is due to failure
to classify the wool, and to defects
from the use Of improper sacks, twihe,
branding paints and various minor
causes which lower value.
Uncle Sans department Of agricul
ture is endeavoring to help the Amer,.
can wool grower to save this $4,000, 0W
a year and has formed some simple
rules which the secretary of agricu1.
ture states no grower either on farm
or range can afford to neglect to eli
nance the value and reputation of his
clip. The extra work and expense

grower to secure this additional price
it is stated, are hardly worth consid.
ering. 1t is a matter of almost clean
additional profit.
1t is a wrong superstition that the
entire fleece goes into the production
Of garment so that the amount CT
finished cloth is equal to the amount
OF secured wool. A number of tests
reported by different mills show that

pounds of unwashed wool were rty
quired to make one pound of cloth
For worsted cloths from 21h to Az
