u. s. CONSIDERS PLAN TO
OPERATE ALL ROADS IF
POOL SYSTEM FAILS

Washington, Nov. 26.--Government
operation Of railways, if the pooling
plan does not afford relief from the
present situation, was being consider
ed here today as the committee of vice
presidentsssof Eastern lines gathered
to perfect general plans to. put the
pooling arrangements into eject.
j. M. Hannaford, president and Geo.
T. Slade, vice president Of the North
ern Pacific railroad, and L. w. Hill,
president, and William P. Kenney,
vice president of the Great Northern
railroad, left last night for Washing
ton. where they will try to obtain a
clear understanding with the govern
ment on the conduct of their railroads
in the Northwest.
The four officials will also investi-
gate how far the government is going
in the railway pooling arrangement
announced in Washington Friday.
Although none of the officials in st.
Paul will discuss the matter, it is re-
ported the general pooling Of railroads
and their equipment by the govern
ment is not looked upon with favor.
Railroad officials feel the Western
roads should not be held responsible
for the inability of the Eastern roads
to take care of their traffic.
1t is said the four officials will also
take up in Washington the famous
Portland gateway rate case. The lum-
Der firms south of Portland seek joint
rates which the railroads oppose on
the ground it will work a hardship on
the lumber mills of the Northwest.

II u. S. MARINTS.

Quantico, Va, Nov. 27.-The drink
ing of water at frequent intervals
while on long hikes is not recommend
ed by U. S. Marines here.
While the average man should con-
sumo, according to medical authorities
from two to three quarts a day,
troops on the march should drink this
amount at regular periods and not sip
a mouthful at a time, say the Marine
officers.
In Haiti, the Philippines and other
countries where the Marines have been
compelled to hike long and hard, men
who constantly slipped at their can
teens were the first to become ex-
exhausted. On the contrary, the mer
who darnk their fill every two or three
hours and not between times, proved
to be the best mixers.
