The State Board OF Immigration has
succeeded in obtaining fairly complete
statistics Of crop acreage and pro-
duction from nearly every county in
the state in 1917, and hopes within
the next two weeks to make the list
complete. This is the first time data
of this kind has ever been collected
by the counties in this state, though
most Of Colorado's progressive neigh
bors have been compiling these statis-
tics for years. An effort will be made
to compile these data ever year in the
future, making them a permanent rec
ord for all those who are interested.

SUNKEN LOC MAY HAVE BEEN HIT BY FARRAGUT

Captain Charles A. Glasscock of the wrecked steamship Admiral Evans re- ports that several times the pumps have practically emptied the ship and that she was rolling on the bottom, just ready to raise, but each time the incoming tide has beaten them to it and filled the ship with water again
 Material has already left Seattle for Hawk inlet to be used in building a cofferdam around the ship. This is comparatively easy task, as the ship has an open deck and an iron railing to fasten the cofferdam to. The work of building the dam will take about month, but there is no doubt of the boat being foated when it is com pleted," says Captain Glasscock.
 When questioned regarding the trouble with the Admiral Farragut he gave it as his opinion that the Farra- gut struck a submerged snag or stump which rolled along under her bot tom. "Offcers and passengers of the Farragut tell me that whatever she struck seemed to roll along under the ship. This would indicate a log or a stump. Frequently in navigating the navrows, or in fact any water where there is a swift current, logs and snags are found just barely floating along. Later, when they get little more water-soaked, they sink. With only five feet of leeway under the ship, it would not have to be a very large stump to dent her bottom con- siderably," he said.

NEW EQUIPMENT FUR
 INTERIOR ROAD WORK

NENANA, May 1.-Among the more important items of equipment which the Alaskan engineering com mission expect for construction work on the government railroad during the coming season are two standard gauge locomotives of a much heavier type than the 270 and PIP, which are now in use on the line south of town; and forty additional flat cars. These formed part of the equipment used in building the Panama canal.
 A new and up-to-date ditching ma chine, which could be utilized as steam shovel or piledriver, will also arrive with the rest of the heavy equipment. The ditcher will be used primarily in making the necessary ex- cavations for the elaborate drainage scheme planned by the engineering staff, to be put in at various points along the line, but whenever neces- sary to do so it will also be used as a steam shovel or for driving piles.
 For use on the Panama Valley rail road a new and very powerful type of narrow-gauge locomotive also is due. It will probably be set up at the yards here and be used to take the first through train from Nenana to Fair banks.
 All of the aforementioned equip ment will arrive in Nenana on one of the first boats and reach here soon after the opening of navigation.

IUNEAUITE DESCRIBES
 GERMAN ATROCITIES

Lieutenant E. C. Jameson, formerly of Juneau, where he was employed on the Daily Empire, and also served as secretary of the Elks, has written from France to his mother as fol- lows:
 My Dear Mother Have a few hours tonight to myself I will write you and go to bed. Your son has determined that he will never te taken prisoner by the Germans. I have seen enough of prisoners. Oh! l wish you good people fn the States really knew of the atrocities of those Hohenzollerns. France is filled with stories of them and the French do not lie. But now l have seen some of this work. Imagine the unsexing of French and Belgian boys of tender age, looking to the future, of course, and little girls with hand or foot cut off, and the worst is the fnocuIation oI bIltl0h pIlsoherS "IIh SypInLS germs. This is not fancy, but facts, and because of it the Canadians and Australians kill all Germans. We'll, this isn't pleasant stuff, but I tell you every American has got to do his bit; not stand up and preach it, bat do it. Over here I read of the anti-war pacffist stuff and it fairly makes me boil. I'm not as bloodthirsty as Il should be, but I am going to help lick Fritz; you can bank on that"

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept 19.-That We
must prepare our credits so as to be in
stantly adaptable to changing conditions
was the opinion expressed at the second
days session of the officers and directors
Of the National Association OF Credit
Men hero to-day. This opinion was
unanimously approved.
It was pointed out that even more
careful consideration of business than
usual is called for by the added RESPONSE
bilities of credit men, due to the present
peculiar conditions This added re-
sponsibility. It was said, will not end
with the war but will necessarily be
carried until readjustment takes place.
The necessity for helping retail mer-
chants to- understand the principles OF
accountancy, the calculations of cost
and the elementary rules OF business so
that In the REIMBURSEMENT failures will be
kept at a minimum was emphasized. To
this end It was urged that each local
association OF credit men should under
take conferences OF retail merchants in
their districts to discuss business plans
and new ideas
With the opportunities for Increasing
Americas worldwide trade now apparent
the credit men unanimously approved a
plan to appoint a committee of five to
further a programme to take instant
advantage of the opportunities offered
both now and after the war.
1t was voted that the association use
Its powers to bring about better under
standing Of the trade acceptance. and II
was urged that the railroads be given
authority to settle their purchases with
trade acceptances. thereby stamping the
method with official Governmental ap-

Though the feminine public has not
shown any tendency toward forsaking
the styles which lean toward the svelt
effect the fact that manufacturers are
devoting much time and attention TO
putting out blouses which ordinarily
would be considered appropriate only
for women Of embonpoint Is taken as
an indication that they are already dis
counting coming changes in fashions
These sorts of blouses, though net
lacking in girth. show none OF the arti-
fees that are usually used to tone down
the woman Of more than sylphlike pro-
portions. They are fiaGrantly trimmed

made to shade their fulness.

marked on merchandise for sale in

This was made clearly evident to-day

tor OF the textile and rubber division
or the War Industries Board, to the

inquiries which grew out OF reports that

v!ous quotations. In Yokohama there
has been a rise of about twenty yen
from the low point touched on the re-
cent decline. ond Slnshui No ] now
stands at 1880 yen. The supply of
tram stock and yellow sill; OF all kinds
has been much reduced owing to large
buying orders which came out on the
recent decline.
The Canton market continues Arm
Higher prices are expected because OF
the greatly curtailed production. Eu-
ropean buyers are making only mod
crate purchases, while nothing Is being
done by American buyers.
