New Power Plans Are
Rumored at Niagara Falls
Old Love Canal Scheme To Be
Revived by Westinghouse Co.,
Is Current Report

NIAGARA FALLS-Rumors of new
power plans are in circulation in Nj
agara Falls, but none has been verified.
One rumor is that the Niagara Falls
Power Company will build tunnel or
power canal from the upper Niagara
River at the easterly city line along it's
Niagara Junction railway line to the
north end Of the city and thence down
q newly acquired right Of way to
Lewiston Heights, where, it Is said, a
new power plant is planned to utilize
the diverted water for power develop
ment.
The company is said to have ac-
qu,ired right Of way from the north l,-
to the point where the Lewiston hill
meets the lower Niagara.
The second rumor is that a power
canal is planned paralleling the mill
tary road from La Sale to Lewiston
Heights. William Baker, Falls real
estate man, is said to have secured
options on a strip of land in that To-
cality for the Westinghouse Electric
Company. All the power interests op-
posed to the Niagara Falls Power Com
pany arc behind the scheme, which is a
revival of the old Love canal PROPOSE
ton, said John L. Harper, chief engi-
neer Of the Niagara Falls Power Com
pany.
The third rumor is that the westing-
house interests are planning to acquire
the Niagara Gorge railway right Of way
or the power rights Of the company, or
both, in the lower Niagara district. The
Niagara Falls Power Company has re-
Gently denied that it acquired the
gorge.
All the plans and schemes are con-
tingent, it is said, on Washington ne
gotiating q new power treaty with the
Canadian government which will in
crease the water diversion above the
falls on the American side. The d.
version IL limited now to 10000 cubic
feet a sccond.-Buffalo Express.

SILkS--Sn,al Jobbers
Offer Goods at Concessions

Some Of tho smaller silk 3obbsrs who
piled . brisk and profitable trade up
TO month or 80 ago are now offer
ing silks az prices from 10 to s25 per
cent below the present market levels.
These Jobbets are not overloaded, and
their price sacrifices are purely the re-
suit Of their financial inability to carry
these stocks. This condition, in con-
junction with the fact that larger lob
bers are taking everything they can
buy at full market pricas and that re-
taller, garment manufacturers and
jobbers from other cities are showing
a disposition to operate at high price
levels, forms paradox in the trade
Some OF the largest mill owners are
inclined to regard the present situation
as prevarious and are looking for i'm
portant developments within the next
week or two. Large jobbers, however,
are optimistic, and while few of them
predict more of the sharp rises that
the market has seen in the past six
months, they feel that present prices
Will hold for some time to come. One
Of the largest jobbers in the trade said
Yesterday that he was willing to GER
ate to the fullest extent of his finan-
clal ability for the next six months. but
that unless conditions showed ma
terial change. at the end of that time
he would take steps to place his bust
ness on a conservative basis.

COTTONS-Conrereers
Unable to Obtain Supplies

Converters Of cotton goods in need
Of gray or unfinished fabrics for print
ing, dyeing or bleaching cannot OBJ
tain sufficient supplies for their imme-
date needs. Spot goods are scarce and
gray goods brokers report that most of
the Eastern mills are refusing to ac-
cept orders even at present high prices.
The majority Of Eastern mills, according
to their agents here and brokers who
buy from them, have orders running
into April, but will be ready to take
on more business for later months
within short time.
Deliveries Of goods that should be
coming through now are delayed. Pro
duction at the mills is scarcely above
70 per cent of the old normal, and
most mills are behind their schedules
at present. Yarn spinners are further
behind their delivery schedules than
the weavers, despite the establishment
and enlargement Of spinning mills.

Clarke Brothers, bankers, yesterday
held formal opening Of their new Of

Government Expert
Says People Oppose

DIR. Emory r. johnson Says
Inefficient Operation of
Roads and Deficits Have
Created Wide Sentiment
Speota, Correspondence


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.--According
to DR.. Emory r. Johnson, dean of the
Wharton School Of the University of
Pennsylvania and one Of Americas
leading authorities on railroad trans
portation, the financial salvation Of
Americas entire transportation system
depends upon the ability Of Congress
so to harmonic two conflicting rail-
road bills now before 1t that when the
roads arc handed back to their owners

to private investment. The only al
Tentative, he said. is government own

DR.. Johnson's conclusions werc given
in an address at the university to-day
on "The Railway Puzzle" DIR. john
son has been a government advisor on
transportation problems for every ma
tional administration since that Of
President Mckinley.
While admitting that Directors Nc
Adoo and Hines have done the best
they could with difficult situation,
DR.. Johnson maintained that the rail-
roads as operated by the government
now a suitable investment. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Congress
would pass suitable Legislation to make
them such. DR.. johnson also declared
that the public, except the railroad
employees, did not favor government
ownership and operation, because
shippers and travellers had not been

Grafton as under corporate manage

had incurred large deficit.
DR.. Johnson said that tho railroads
would profit after the return Of their
lines by the precedent which the gov
eminent had set in permitting termi-
nal and line economies which had been
forbidden the private owners before
the war.

JEWELRY-
Buys Clock Steel Here

Several large consignments of iron
and steel materials used in clock
making were exported yesterday to
Japan by one Of the large local clock
factories. Before the war England
and Switzerland almost entirely sup
piled the tin plate and springs from
which the time pieces were made.
After the outbreak Of the war, how
ever, when European supplies ceased,
limited quantities Of wires and springs
and proved thoroughly satisfactory.
Since that time relations between
American and >Japanese firms have
been strengthened greatly and large
shipments of clock materials are be-
ing sent to that country from time
to time.
Japan, according to leaders in the
local clock-making industry, is rapid
ly becoming real factor in the manu-
facture of timepieces. The industry
in that country grew out of the at
brought to Japan in 1873 In 1886 this
man succeeded in making two clocks
that could be regulated fairly we'll
and kept good time. In the following
year a clock factory was established
in Nagoya, but it was not until 1890
that its products were put on the
market. In 1891 three more factories
were opened, and at present there are
nineteen factories In Nagoya, employ
ing about 1000 people, devoted to the
manufacture Of various kinds of wall,
mantel and alarm clocks. About IL
per cent of the clocks manufactured
in Japan are turned out by factories
in Nagoya, with the remaining Is per
cent coming from Toxic.
The clocks Of different varieties
reaching this country from Japan cost
the importer from $18 to $55 per
dozen. Large amounts of the cheaper
varieties are being exported by the
Japanese merchants to China and the
South Seas

Argentine Refuses to Send
Its Sugar Surplus Abroad

BUENos AYREs, Dec;s s.-There ap-
pears to be little chance that the
United States or any other country
suffering from sugar shortage will re-
ceive any help for some time to come
from Argentina.
The sugar growers of Tucuman, the
principal sugar producing province,
appealed recently to President Irigo-
yen, saying they had surplus of
$4,000 tons and asking him to revoke
the decree forbidding expectation. La
Dor organizations raised protest, de-
claring that expectation would result
in an advance in the price to domestic
consumers and saying that the SIR
plus which the Tucuman growers had
President Irigoyen announced that he
would not revoke the decree.
Now comes a report from the Di-
rector of Rural Economy and Statistics
estimating that this years sugar har-
vest will amount to 100000 tons and
saying that while there will be sur
plus Of 52,154 tons, it should be re-
tanned in this country as a reserve

terday that during the last few days
orders had been placed for OVER 100000
pounds of La Plata and Buenos Ayres
hides. Domestic winter hides have
never been purchased as freely as this
season. This is owing in part to labor
trouble in the South American ports,
which is holding back large quantities
Of raw stock.
Packers in this country are refus-
ing to quote prices on future ship
ments, and likewise the tanners will
not give prices on light sole leather
for future delivery. Recent exports
Of both hides and leather to France,
Scandinavia and Italy have helped ma
terially to reduce stocks here. It is
felt that the. demands for leather from
Europe will Be enormous when the ex-
change situation assumes a more nor
NAL aspect because of the shortage Of

SUDDENLY REWVES
Recent Statement Explaining Sit

etabIes To City

The statement published recent

influx of statesmen and saleswo-
men, who are disposing of consid-
cradle produce and fruit, indicat-
ing that. as stated, many were of
! the opinion that city peddling Ii
Icense was necessary.
Peaches. as we'll as apples and
! blackberries, are to be found on
many wagons now coming from
various parts Of the county. Chas.
Haines, living in the southern
part of the county, was in town
Thursday with wagon load of
blackberries and peaces. He said
that two hours only were neces-
sary to dispose Of his load Mr.
Haines said he, like many others,
were imbued with the idea that a
license was necessary to dispose
of goods in the city There has
been a decidedly growing market
during the past week. all Of which
illustrates the value of these col
umnes in advertising. While
there is an abundance of raspber-
ries, Mr.. Haines said, he thought
a license necessary, and in order
to avoid this, he carted his crop to
the nearest railway station
where it was bought and shipped
iaway. This is another phase of
the manner of disposing of home
products much of which never
reaches the home market Res
idents to the north are preparing
to furnish produce to the big col
ony at Boonesboro Beach, as a
result of a statement issued to the
effect that Clark county produc-

ing an immense patronage.
Richmond is being we'll patron
lied by the summer residents Of
Boonesboro, who have autos. five
