SEEKING GERMAN CUSTOM.
British Manufacturers Actively
Renewing Trade Relations.

No time is being lost by British
manufacturers In renewing trade with
Germany, trade commissioner Dresel
at Berlin has reported to the Depart
ment Of Commerce, Tho better class
Of mercantile establishments at Ber-
lin are showing varied lines OF British
made goods particularly woolens and
feathers. the report says.
Describing arrangements mado by
the British for shoe contracts for tho
next two years and the handsome"
profits obtained because of tho ex-
change situation, Mr.. Dresel said: In
NY opinion there is no reason why
such an arrangement for supply of
materials on large scale could not
be carried out by American dealers
for their own profit and for the as
sistance of German industry during
the period necessary for reconstruc-
tion."

WO1uD HAVE POLICE USE GAS BOMBS
TO CAPTURE BARRICADED PERSONS

"A plentiful supply of gas grenades
ought to be available to the police
force at comparatively small cost.
However, it should be borne in mind
that the gas made for war purposes
was intended to infiict heavy casual
ties, while a gas suitable for use by
police force ought not to infiict
permanent injury, but merely disable
temporarily.
"A sneezing gas would be effective
in police work. A sneezing gas
mixed with a chloroform gas also
should be good, for the former would
disclose the criminals location Tin a
case like last Friday's), and the chlo-
roform gas would render him tempo

HEARINGS ON R. R. RATE
ADJUSTMENT ARE BEGUN

Hearings to determine the basis for
an adjustment of railroad rates, so
as to yield the roads a return of 51a
per cent on their aggregate value. as
provided in the new transportation
law, began today before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The commission is to determine
whether the adjustment shall be made
for the carriers as a whole or in rate
groups or territories to be desig-
mated by it and what methods shall
be employed in determining the aggre-
gate value of the railroad property.
The representatives of practically
all the railroads and shippers organi-
cations were present. The hearings
are expected to continue three days.

CENTRAL AMERICAN
UNION

For a marvel, Central America
seems tired of the revolution habit
and is agitating the formation of a
| federal republic which would in.
clude the several small states be.
tween Mexico and the Isthmus OF
Panama. The propaganda includes
a plan for a joint convention 70 con-
gress to assemble April / to consid-
er the proposal Of union. In this
meeting all of the states would be
represented.
From an Anglo-Saxon standpoint
the project appears to be a good
one. As a matter of actual fact,
however, 1t is doubtful whether a
plan could be devised which would
be permanently satisfactory all
around. The Latin temperament is
quite volatile. But the scheme is a:
least worthy of an attempt. The SO
luton ought to prove easier than
the Balkan settlement because the
people are largely of one blood.
1t is probably too much TO hope
for all at once, but if such a fede:.
alton could be formed and then
united with Mexico, it would appear
to be a progressive move Govern.
ments of larger territorial units
ought, other things being equal. tc
simplify the political situation
from a world standpoint. But as
limited, this is an ideal involving
great difficulty of realization

Fuel underlies every modern pro

those industries.
Thus far We have ignored the one

entirely for coal and transportation,

Water power is the undeveloped

combat coal and steam transporta
zion. Water power is the real and
effective regulatory agent. A rail.

Land near Harlengen is the most
valuable in the Rio Grande Valley
for the following reasons: We have
the first lift land, that is, we only
have to lift the water one time,
hence the expense of irrigation will
be less. The first lift land is the
richest soil in the valley, it being
classed with the government soil
survey reports, as the very richest
Of the Delta.
On account of the Aroya-Colorado
and the Resackas leading into the
Aroya-Colorado, land in the Harlem
gen district is the best drained, Har-
lengen is located on the main line of
railway, and also a branch line,
which gives better shipping facili-
ties. 1t is cooler in summer, and
warmer in winter than it is farther
west, due to the proximity of the
Gulf of Mexico.

Harlengen District has one of the
best irrigation systems at the pres
ent time that is to be had in the Rio
Grande Valley, and when we finish
the erection of our engines and
pumps that are now on the ground,
complete all of our canals, and the
concrete and brick water gates, we
will have the best irrigation system
in the valley. Harlengen is sixteen
feet lower than where the water is
pumped out of the river, conse-
quently water runs so swiftly we do
not need a large canal. Our expense
is less on that account, as the water
runs so fast we do not need a set
ting basin. Therefore, nearly every
time we irrigate the land, we put
a little more silt on the soil, which
helps to keep it enriched.
