COAL BROUGHT OVER
CANAL GOES BEGGING
Barges' Business Is So Slack That
Many Boatmen Have Quit
Work.

Although warnings of a possible
coal shortage next winter have been
issued by government and other
agencies. bituminous coal being re-
ceived in Washington over the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal is in little de-
mand and business over the waterway
has Stacked to such an extent that
many boatmen have quit work, Off
Gals of the canal towage company
stated today.
For several weeks barges have been
laying in the canal here unable to dis
pose of their cargoes except after
coal on an average are to be found in
the bottoms, notwithstanding much
fuel has been stored on the wharves
at the point where the canal flows into
the river.
1t was thought the problem had
been solved recently when an ocean
barge was brought here and loaded
up with more than a thousand tons of
coal to be taken to Boston. But this
barge has not yet been able to clear
on account of the difficulty in obtain
ing towage down the river 1t is
stated that another barge of the same
type may be here next week
AS boatmen are paid so much per
ton for each trip. the delays at this
end of the line have greatly reduced
their prospective earnings for the sea-
son, causing no end of complaint and
extensive designations. The situation
also is proving great hardship to
the towage company. which is oper-
ating at a loss.
Officials of the company say the diff
ficulty lies in the fact that users of
soft coal here have not been impressed
tx-it ha iFon ~
bins now for next winters needs The
coal undoubtedly will be in great de-
mand later. they say. but then the
supply will not be available

MEXICAN PESO DROPS VALUE.
Now Worth Fifty Cents, Compared
49,. With Sixty in 1918.

MEXICO City, Thursday. July 10
Newspapers of this city printed this
morning on their financial pages rec
ords of foreign exchange transactions
showing that drafts on New York
were bought at so, or par at two to
one. for American dollars, and sold
at 49ss. which is less than two to one.
This, it was pointed out. is signifi-
cant since during the last six months
of 1918 the exchange rate lowered
around CO., which meant that the
Mexican peso was worth go cents in
United States money, instead of about
50 ccentS its present value.

bulletin for preventing extinction of
the remaining herds. Cattle grazed
under permit on national forests
often encroach on favorite grazing
grounds of the elk. as do bands of
sheep. The result is that the elk,
driven off the ground. are forced to
seek pasturage in localities much
less favorable, and, becoming weak
ened. go into the winter in such
poor condition to fall easy VIC
Tins when the ground is deeply COW
cred with snow or when attacked by
wolves, mountain lions. coyotes and
the like. Losses by predatory wild
animals. however, have been greatly
reduced in recent years by reason of
the activity of forest rangers in de-
stroying the beasts of prey.
Features of Program.
Among the features of compre-
hensive program outlined for pre-
venting relatively speedy extinction
OF the elk herds-in which program
all Elks are urged to COOPERATE to
the fullest possible extent-are the
, following:
maintenance of the present herds in
Yellowstone National Park region
at present numbering about $4,000 elk
without material increase in the
size OF the herds.
plus for legitimate hunting or for
restocking other herds
State laws limiting hunting licenses
in number and by regions, the limits
and seasons to be determined from year
to year Jointly by state and federal
officers.
Use of federal courts to supplement
and strengthen administration of state
game laws.
Closest cooperation between states
and federal government to end or pre-
vent all illegal practices affecting the
welfare OF the elk.
addition to the Absaroka and Galiatin
national forests of the area north of
Gardiner, Mont, Withdrawn in April,
1917, acquisition by purchase or exchange
of necessary portions of private lands
within this area. and state legisla ton
establishing certain needed portions of
these and adjoining areas as game
refugees.
REIMBURSEMENT Of grazing permits in
the two national forests mentioned to
meet present or future needs of the
northern elk herds for winter range
Acquisition in Jackson Valley, Wyo.,
of about 10000 acres adjacent to the
present winter refuge, essential to pro-
vide additional winter forage.
Continuation and enlargement at GER
tain points of several restricted winter
estab lish them as game refugees.
Several other suggested remedial
measures are included in the program.
all of which. the biological surveys bull
letin declares, are not only wholly prac-
ticable but absolutely essential if the
remaining elk of the country are to be
saved from extinction.
