holding an inland water course most
of the way
But this development would not con-
sumo our entire billion dollars. 1t
would not require more than half
Of it. With the other $5OO,OO0,OOO we
should be able to dredge and deepen
and straighten the Mississippi river
to st. Louis, and the Missouri river to
Kansas City. sufficiently to admit the
ocean liners to the very center of the
industrial and fruitful West.
"As to the third billion saved: For
some time past great electrical SUI
perpower system has been advocated,
extending from Boston t. Washing
ton, connecting with the bituminous
coal mines of Virginia, the anthracite
fields Of Pennsylvania, and the
sources of water power available at
Niagara and In the lower reaches Of
the st. Lawrence river. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 horse power may
be developed on that part of the st.
Lawrence river between Lake Ontario
and Montreal constituting the interna-
tional boundary between that part of
: New York state and Canada, onehalf
; Of which power would belong to the
United States.
1.-THE following is the proposition in
nutshell: Great hydro-electric pow
err stations are to be built on the st

Here's Another Peril
in Hitting Bottle"

Winchester, Na.-The art of
drinking from a bottle Is being
lost in this vicinity. Il. Cllr-
ence Smith of Berkeley county
entertained a party of men
friends at an old-time pitch"
party. at which bottled pop was
served. One of Smiths guests
had not gurgled anything for so
many years that when he went
about it in the old-time way the
suction fastened the mouth of
the bottle tightly to his lips and
il could not be removed.
Finally one of the guests pro-
cured a feather and tickled his
friend under the nose, provok-
ing laugh, which broke the con
nection.

what about the fifth billion saved?
In the Far West large tracts of arid
lands have been redeemed and made
fruitful as farming districts through
the magic of irrigation accomplished
by the aid of the government in build
ing the nece ssary dams to store water
for the use of the farms, while the
electrical power developed by the wa
ter as it is drawn from the reservoirs
! for purposes of irrigation furnishes
the energy for lighting and transpor-
tation over large districts. Little has
yet been done, however, compared
with what remains undone."
II asked the Department of the In
terror what could be done in the way
of reclamation of the arid regions OF
the West for farming purposes by the

the worldwide discus sion of the dis
armament and armament truce pro-
posals-what the United States needs
in the way of industrial improvements
to increase its efficiency.
Engineers, efficiency experts, trans
portation managers and far-seeihs
business men have had much to say In
n general way about the need Tor
greater production and better distrl-
button. The possibility of disarma-
ment or of an armament truce has
stimulated them to estimating what
the United States would save ana
suggesting what it should do with
the money thus saved.
Here is an example Of the many
suggestions for increased industrial
efficiency. The United States geolos-
ical survey has been making an lnveS-
tigation of the potential water power

Must before going out of Office, SUD-
mitted to President Wilson report

opment of electricity, supplied from
both water power and steam-driVen
machinery, to effect an annual saving
of about 25,OOO,0OO tons Of coal, ran

run street cars, factories and mines
through the concerted development OF
water power from the st. Lawrence

urged by the report on the followih:
