WASHINGTON, July 7.-Accord-
ing to- advices here, received from the
City of Mexico, American brewers,
now that the United States has gone
dry, are seeking to reestablish their
waning industry in Mexico, are meet
ing with strong opposition from the
Mexican government.
Many brewers have sent already
representatives to Mexican cities in
cluding Chihuahua, Monterrey, Tam
pico, Vera Cruz and Mexico City, to
negotiate for real estate that they
would utilize for sites for their
plants.
So far the federal government of
Mexico has refused to permit erection
of breweries anywhere in the repub-
lie. Representatives OF the bereWer-
les are said to have made flattering
offers in way of taxation and con-
tributions to federal state and NUM-
cipal treasures; but without avail.
Those familiar with other days in
Mexico, say conditions are reversed
completely. Time was when such
enterprises went to Mexico asking
concessions, with exemption from tax
alton for long periods, exemption
from import duties, etc. Then they
wanted to be paid to come into the
republic. Now they are willing to
pay high for the privilege of getting
in.

PASADENA, CAL, July Charles
w. Paddock, Pasadena sprinter, who
has been cleaning up all the sprints at
the recent Inter-Allied races at Paris,
has been racing ever since he was &
freshman in the Pasadena High
School. He is one of the youngest
distinguished trackmen in the game,
being now but 19 years of age.
Paddock's victories at Pershing
Stadium, Paris, includes first place in
the 100 meter events, besides being
a membr of the four-man team which
won the 8O0-meter relay. He was

The movement is being pushed by
Socialist, Snydicalist' Anarchist La
Dor and political agitators of every
shade of opinion and belief, centering
here, are siezing upon drastic con-
ditions prevailing and expressing the
poor, to draw the masses and extend
their movement. They appeal to
alike elements in all other cities IN
Italy to organize and join the move
ment. They answer the same de-
scription as did the AdulIamites of
the time of Saul and David, in Jewry.
The government has issued a state
ment officially warning the people
against elements "endeavoring to
transform legitimate economic agi-
tation into political movement"
Food prices are causing the
greatest unrest, and there is the
strongest protest from all parts of
the kingdom against their exorbit-
ance. The government has authoriz-
ed all municipalities and provinces to
regulate food prices and re,l.cc them
to the lowest minimum possible. 1t
is announced that a large quantity
of refrigerator beef has been thrown
upon the market, selling az fifty
cents per pound.
Today the cabinet met to consider
the situation, and it's deliberations re-
suited in the measures of relief out
lined above. What otner decisions
were reached have not been made
public.
From many cities there come re-
ports that civilian organizations in
many cities have taken control of the
food situation, in some places re-
gulating prices; in others COM
supplies, paying reason
able prices, and selling at cost.

VAST ALASKAN
TRADE OPENING
FOR The COAST
Omitted Press Service)

JUNEAU, Alaska, July 5.-'The
Alaskan railroad, now IS per cent
complete will be of wonderful bene-
fit to Alaska in improving Industrial
conditions, and thus will the whole
Pacific Coast be benefited by increased
trade, declared Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
Governor of Alaska, in an exclusive
interview with the United Press today.
The governor nailed as fasle the
charges that lax methods are being
used in constructing the road.
''The road is being well and econo-
mically constructed, no matter what
ulterior-motive attacks have been
made theron, he said.
The riaroad extends from Seward,
an ice-free port to Fairbanks, a dis
tanoe of All miles. Necessary
branches bring the total mileage to
over $50, according. to Riggs.
''When complete, the railroad will
serve long-felt want" said the Gov
ernor. "It may not for years pay
maintenance and operating charges,
but it will gradually open, up a terri
tory rich in mining possibilities Two
coal feds are tapped The principal

promise of being an export field for
high grade bituminous coal, in which
the Pacific Coast is lacking The
Newman lifnite field will supply the
interior cocntry with fuel for industrial
and domestic purposes, displacing
wood, which is rapidly disappearing
from around the more settled dis
tricts.
mot the least function performed
will be found in cutting down of time
consumed in travel and in constant
service rendered. AS it is now, it
takes freight about amonth to travel
from Seattle to Fairbanks, and this
only during the season of open river
navigation. With the railroad in
operation, freight will land in Fair
banks within a week from the date of
shipping. There will be not large
stocks on hand scbject to market
fluctuations, deterioration, insurance
and loss. High prices will be reduced
by the elimination of such unfavorable
factors, and a constant supply of sea-
sonable supplies is assured. A dredge-
man now, in case of breakdown, with
no spare part on hand, for instance,
must close his operations for the sea-
son and lay off a crew perhaps
brought all the way under pay from
the states. With the railroad in opera
ton, within a week the part can be
replaced and the boat placed once

"Imagine all the states east of the

entirely upon navigable waters as high

A VASE MADE FROM A GERMAN
SHELL

Current reports say that the Germans
are beating the swords into plowshares.
Whether that be true or not some of our
doughboys across the water are turning
their hands during spare hours to works
of transformation. Willard Seaman
has sent home to his mother, Mrs Susie
Seaman, and his aunt Miss Hannah
Miller very handsome vase in ham,
mered brass, which he made from a
rs m. m. shell. It is a beauty; and
shows artistic workmanship.
Upon the entering of the United
States into the war, Willard went over
seas with an army of aeroplane me-
chanics. Their first work was to 90 in
to the forests Of France where the best
timber could be found. This they felled
and prepared for use by the allied
armies To have disclosed to the enemy
their whereabouts and operations would
of course, have invited raids by air and
otherwise. Just after they had moved
from one camp, where they had de-
pleted the forest, it was blown up by
bombs from German planes.
In 1918 Mr. Mike Stiner of Washing
ton county, Minnesota, made test of
various fertilizers on his potato crop for
the purpose of ascertaining what fertil-
izer ingredients were chiefly needed.
The two check or unfertilized plots
lying nearest to the fertilized area
yielded 1913 and 112 bushels, or an aver
age of 10 bushels per acre. Where a
fertilizer containing only phosphoric
acic was applied the yield was 40
bushels; an ammoniated phosphate
yielded 142 bushels; fertilizer con-
tanning ammonia and potash yielded 100
bush lis; and complete fertilizer con-
tanning ammonia, phosphoric acid. and
potash yielded 208 bushels. In this case
the complete fertilizer used at the rate
of 1000 pounds per acre gave gain Of
90 bushels per acre as compared with
the average OF the two check plots. or a
gain of 100 bushels as compared with
the check plot which was located i'm
mediately beside it.,
