FIRE SIGNAL M|XUP
CAUSES BIG DELAY

Fire Chief Gilam wishes to call
the attention of the residents of Win
nemucca to the correct way in which
to turn in fire alarm to the tele-
phone operator at central Office. With
the completion of the installation of
the present fire alarm system in this
city, each resident having tele-
phone was supplied with a printed
card containing the division Of dis
tricts made throughout the city and
the proper alarm for each district,
the number of the particular district
in which each and every phone is
situated being plainly inscribed at
the head of the card. 1t ayails
nothing to call up central and say
that John Does house in a-fire with
out giving the district in which the
blaze is located, for in that event the
operator is at complete loss as to the
situation and possibly unable to OBJ
further information, as the one who
turned in the alarm has undoubtedly
made his explanation short, hung up
the receiver and gone to fight the fire.
According to the chief, the present
system of signals in Winnemucca
has not been completed, but in
order to delay the further expendi-
ture of two or three thousand dollars.
for the installation of fire alarm
boxes, until more prosperous times,
the present card system was devised.
Every phone user should have one of
them and they are obtainable at CEN
trail Office.

WOMAN POLITICIAN
HEARS FROM NEVADA

All doubt that may exist in the
women's bureau of the Democratic
national headquarters as to how the
women of Nevada feel about the
League of Nations and the attempts
OF Democratic leaders to SOW the seed
of propaganda among them should be
set at rest by a telegram sent by
Mrs. Sadie Hurst of Reno. prominent
club woman and former president OF
the Woman Citizens Club. Mrs
Hursts telegram, which might be
said TO be typically Western. was
sent to George Bass, chairman of tht
women's bureau at New York City. il
reply TO the following message:
Carrie Chapman Gait, as non
partisan voter. will support Cox tc
bring America into the League of
Nations. Mrs. Cats full statement
will appear In Thursday or Frida
morning papers. VIII you read ant
call TO the attention of your members
Wire us II you stand with her"
Mrs. Hurst's reply was as follows;
with all respect to Mrs. Gait and
her position upon the League of Ma
tions the women of Nevada are capa
BILE of forming their own opinion
and so far as / am able to determine
are unalterably opposed to Americs
again becoming entangled in the af
fairs of Europe. We feel very cape
BILE of following our own opinion
and at this time they are fixed. The
result will be that Nevada will. o.

heard Mr.. McAdoo lay the blame for
the present low price Of wool, ETC..
to the increased freight rates caused
by the Cummins-Esch bill"

ly as well as economically.
There are 100 acres Of water space
in the docks. with six and n hall
miles of dock quays. The docks are
lined with transit sheds. many of them
of fer"ro-concrete construction, thir-
tween are single floor. six with triple
floor, one with double floor, five with
four floors and twelve with five floor
accommodation. Every known device
that will insure careful handling and
avoidance of damage to goods is at
once installed, and the terminals are
regarded as among the best equipped
in the world.
Between helf and three-quarters
Of a million bales Of cotton is unload
ed annually at Manchester and it is
shipped from the United States. The
docks are specially adapted to I'M
loading the raw cotton, and 1t Is con-
.veyed to the spinning mills promptly.
Handling Is reduce dto a minimum by
cranes and travellers.
If a city thirty-five miles from the
sea could accomplish so much in
thirty years under conditions hat
were none too favorable how much
easier should it be for New Bruins
wick, with so many things In its IA
vor, to become a seaport in one-third
the time and at a cost that should be
small in comparison with What the
Manchester Ship Canal Company had
the courage to spend for the under
taking.
New Brunswick has less than
twelve miles in distance from the sea.
There are no engineering difficulties
involved in q plan to max 1t a sea-
port. Some of the crooked bends in
the Raritan river ought to be elm
mated, notably the two long sweeps
nearest the mouth of the river. AS it
will probably be a tide-water propo-
sition there VIII be nc expensive
docks to be constructed, and the ul-
innate cost of dredging the channel
of the Raritan river to New Bruins
wick to a depth of twenty-five feet
and OF sufficient width for ocean
steamers should not exceed ten or
twelve million dollars. Even II 1t did
cost a few more million dollars the
increase in the traffic hat would re-
suit is sufficient argument in favor
of its expenditure.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-03-30

Jean Dubois. of Perth Amboy
president of the Raritan TerminaI
and Waterways Association, has re-
ceived from George NJ. Massey, rep
~fesentlng the Manchester Ship Cana
Company of England in this country,
en- interesting booklet descriptive OF
the Manchester ship canal, the port
Of Manchester. its facilities and ad-
%antages. The canal extends right
into the heart Of England, a distance
of ~thirty-fiye miles, and Is q demon
Htration Of how an Industrial inland
city has grown in thirty years.
The Manchester ship canal Is one
Of the greatest artificial waterways
of the world. The story of its in
ceptiou and building Is one OF
achievement. In 1882 prominent ciu-
gems Of the town met at the house OF
Daniel Adamson. They realized that
the trade of Manchester was gradual
ly diminishing, and when Adamson
said the remedy was a waterway to
the sea, thlrty-tlve and a half miles
distant, and this little coterie Of men
with a vision were determined to
see the project put through. Their
faith was tried to the utmost and
they we're obliged to surmount many
difficulties, but success crowned their
efforts.
The canal has O. depth of 2S feet,
81 " L VI @sN ~ . Lo@N ~ 49, F1F
and 100 to 40 feet at the bottom,
and a lift of sixty feet, six inches. At
the end of 1917 the capital expendi-
ture involved in the undertaking
amounted to more than eighty-four
million dollars. In addition five and
q half million dollars have been
spent for warehouses and dock eX-
tensions.
Before the construction Of the big
ship canal to the sea Manchester was
at the mercy of many Of her more
formidable Industrial rivals. Today
the city Is England's second greatest
city and the third greatest port. The
great ships of the world discharge
their cargoes in the heart of England,
and this advantage is realized by many
the export firms of New York City
who ship by the lines hat ply to the
big inland city.
Within fifty miles of Manchester
there is an industrial population Of
nine million souls-a population
youghly estimated as equal to that
of Greater New York and Chicago. or
this population approximately one
quarter can be reached from Man
chester by the network of canals
operated by the Manchester Ship
Canal. Starting with 925.659 tons in
1894, which yielded an income of
s4g9,5O6; in 1918, Notwithstanding the
the totals had increased to B.
1926 tons and ~$4,954.615 in reve-
9he success Of the ship canal has
been largely increased by the prog
~ressive policy adhered to by the
management. Everything in the way
OF labor saving devices for quick
handling of cargoes has been utilized
in its operation, and all of the docks
and warehouses are built with a view
Of affording the best possible facilities
for handling the cargoes expeditions
