FLYING TO WASHINGTON
Miss Stinson Reaches New York, and
VIII Continue Flight
DIV.

ALBANY. y. Y, June 24.-Miss Stin-
son. who left Buffalo this morning on
Red Cross flight to Washington,
reached Albany at 6:45 O'Clock tonight.
She landed in a field on Van Rensselaer,
Island. about two miles below the city,
the point that had been picked out for
her prior to her arrival. There were
less than 100 persons on the island
when her airplanc came over the crest
of the hills and. after a few evolutions
la nded easily. The airplanc went about
200 feet along the ground before Miss
Stinson landed. She said she was
rather tired. but felt fine. After
making sure that her machine was in
good condition, she stepped into a
waiting automobile and was whisked
to a hotel, wherc she planned TO spend
the night. If conditions are favorable
Miss Stinson expects to leave here soon
after daybreak tomorrow She will
go to New York first and then to Wash
ington. She is taking with her
Washington checks representing Red
Cross contributions in Buffalo. and to-
morrow will take checks for the funds
already raised in New York City.

RATE DECISION THIS WEEK
Result of Interstate boards Inquiry
Into Petition by Railroads Eagerly
Awaited,

WASHINGTON. June 24.-Decision by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the Is per cent rate increase in rail-
road rates recently petitioned by the
railroads of the country is expected to
be handed down late this week. Per-
sons who have followed the cases from
their inception confidently expect that
some increase will be granted the East
ern roads. particularly. and that some
commodity rates in the South and pos
sibly the West may BIO raised. So far
not yet voted on any rates up to this
time but such votes will be taken
soon
Assuming that an increase of rates
will be granted in the Eastern section
and on some commodities in other sec
tions, there is a concensuS OF opinion
that the full Is per cent increase asked
will not be granted to any section. cx-
cept. possibly. on some specified com
modities. The case as presented to the
commission was argued by sections.
East. South and West. and. therefore.
represents practically three separate
cases. Whether the increase. IL grant
ed. will be in the form Of or 10
per cent general increase in the East :
ern section or a specified increase with
certain commodities excepted. is a mat
ter OF speculation here.
The commission must act this week.
creases expires July I. In the event Of
a tie vote the increases asked by tho
railroads would be in force, affirm
ative action was necessary to make the
suspension in the first instance. 1t is
believed, however. that Il majority OF
the commission will join together in
the decision, whatever it may be.

ITS SHIPS BEING BUILT
IN PHILADELPHIA PLANTS
Government Uns Not Yet Made Any
Move to COmmnndecr
Vessels.

PHILADELPHIA. June 24.-Present
conditions indicate that the United
States will soon resume its position in
the forefront OF ship building which il
occupied before the Civil War. While
the government has given the Shipping
BOARD the right TO commander any
or ALI of the vessels being built in
private yards. thus far 1t has not eH-
crcised that right. as was stated by a
representative Of one of the yards on
the Delaware River yesterday. Con-
tracts for new vessels are being let
every day by General Cocktails. but so
far none of those building have been
comma ndeercd.
No accurate statement cf the num-
Der of vessels, with their aggregate
gross tonnage, now being built on the
Delaware is obtainable. but up to the
last of April this year the figures were
fairly accurate. Roughly speaking
there are now under construction in
the private yards on the Delaware over
lis steel merchant ships with a gross
tonnage of about 100000 tons, having
an estimated value of something over
$500. 100000
In addition to this there has recent
ly been invested about $125,00O. 900
along the Delaware River in new ship
yards and extensions OF existing ship
yards to meet the increased dema nd
for more tonnage to fill the gaps made
by the U-boats. There are now seven
large ip-building plants on tho Del
aware River.
The New York Snipbuilding Com
pany. near Gloucester, y. j.. occupies
l20 acres and employs $500 men. 1t
is probably the largest ship building
plant on this continent and its con-
tracts at present total s22.ooo,0o0.
ONE FIRM CONSTRUCTING
NINE STEEL VESSELS
The William Cramp & Sons Ship and
Engine Building Company, on the west
bank OF the Delaware, one of the oldest
yards In the United States. Is at pres
ent constructing nine steel merchant
vessels with an aggregate of 61,500
gross tons.
The Chester Shipbuilding Company.
at Chester. Pa. is building fourteen
vessels of $500 tons.
The Harlan & Hollingswo Corpo-
ration, at Wilmington. Del, also have
fourteen vessels under construction of
5S.35S tons.
The Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Com
pany. of Gloucester. N. j., one of the
newer concerns. brought into cxis-
tence by the war. has ten vessels build
ing. with gross tonnage Of $1,000
tons.
The Sun Shipbuilding Company. of
Chester, Pa. has twenty-fours steel
ships under construction whose tom
mage will total 10000 gross tons
The Pussy e. Jones Shipbuilding
Company, Of Wilmington. Del. Is build
ing twelve vessels. with an aggregate
of 1850 gross tons.
Nearly all of these vessels arc being
built for private owners. most Of the
largest being intended for the Pc
troleum trade. While some are of the
passenger class, most Of them belong
to the class known as tramps, or

WE NEED HOGS

That man who works out plan for running a large
number of young hogs into this section this fall will
not only make fine profit the transaction but he
will at the same time confer great benefit the
community.
With the spread of the field industry the need
for hogs has been multiplied many times over. One
of the difficulties encountered in harvesting the pea
is to prevent from Smelling the ground This makes
it necessary to cut it and this cannot always be
done. The result is that there is material loss.
Here is where the hog becomes especially valuable.
He could go the ground after the harvesting is
through and pick that skaters from pod
and the value of the pea hog feed is admitted.
The field pea has stay standard crop
for Latah county. 1t is fellow with initiative
and to solve the problem bringing in the hog.

At the same time the eight-hour law must be made

cheaper and submits without murmur to conditions
