GRAIN RATE CUT
.HANDICAPS SOUTH
Expectations Through New
Orleans Made Less.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29.-The seven
and one-half cent cut in the grain rate
to Eastern points virtually will cut out
grain expectations through the South,
except from Texas, Oklahoma and south
Kansas, according to business interests
here. Carl Giessow, manager of the
Joint Traffic Bureau, says: mo grain
at all will come to New Orleans by rail-
If the North and South lines do not
voluntarily, or are not required to, meet
the reduction. Galveston, because of the
low interstate grain rate, would get all
of the Texas grain and all of that of
Oklahoma and southern Kansas, because
of the Scent differential in her favor
maintained by the Santa Fe and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas.
''Mr. Hoover intimates that he used as
a club on the Eastern lines his power
to speed the adjustment of their claims
against the Government, and it seems to
me he could use the same influence on
the North and South lines If he desires
to aid all the farmers and not discrimi-
nate against any port. Copyright 1921,

IDAHO SEEKING
NEW WATERWAY
Commercial Clubs and Bust
ness Men Ask Congress
Support.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 29.-The construc-
ton OF a system CT locks and canals in
the SnaFe River above Lewiston that
would give Southern Idaho water trans
portation to the Pacific Ocean, is being
urged upon Congress by Idaho CONNER
cial clubs and business men.
The effort was started by S. j. Haw-
kins, OF Rupert, Idaho, and Senator
Frank r. Gooding has been asked to
secure a Government appropriation for
a survey Of the project to determine the
actual cost OF carrying out the plan.
The construction work proposed con
sists of the building of a system Of
locks in the Snake River from Shoshone
Falls to Lewiston, and a canal from
American Falls TO Shoshone Falls. AS the
Columbia and Snake Rivers have al
ready been made navigable TO Lewiston,
completion OF the work now proposed
would provide water transportation from
points in the interior Of Idaho to Port
land aud Astoria, where freight ship
ments could be transferred to ocean
steamers
Thus, an all-water route, via the
Panama Canal to Atlantic coast cities
would be available in the marketing of
the commercial products OF southern
Idaho.
At 4 cost approximately $1,000 900,
the Government six years ago com
pleted the installation Of the Cello locks
on the Columbia River, near The Dalles,
Ore, which made possible water trans
portation from Lewiston to Portland and
Astoria. on the Snake River and the
Columbia.
The improvements advocated by Mr..
Hawkins and the supporters Of his en-
terprise would extend the Snake River
waterway far into Idaho; and the pos
glhility OF a canal to be built in the flu
ture from American Falls to Salt Lake is
suggested.
The entire district between Spokane
and Salt Lake would be benefited by a
water route to tidewater, 1t is held.
Such n route would be an important fac
tor in regulating freight rates.-Copy-

other loans were on stock cattle. inclu-
ding breeders and yearlings, Texas leads

is natural. as It is the largest cattle

ranges With an abundance Of feed. The

Geological effect. that has doubtless re-
duced some OF the demands that were ex-
pected. However. We have many appli-
catinos for additional loans.
"At a meeting OF the directors Of the
pool, which is operating as the Stock
Growers Finance Corporation satisfac-
ton was expressed over the help 1t is
giving to the livestock industry. The d.
rectors report conditions in the industry
improving, with the great abundance OF
feed acting as a powerful stimulant-"
Livestock interests here take pride in
the fact that the pool is the first of the
character successful in the United States
with the help Of bankers in all parts of
the country.
Kansas City has made only one loan
from the pool. SO much new wheat Is
coming in that banks in wheat districts
are absorbing all the cattle paper created

BRITISH SEEK
PRODUCTS OF
THE DOMINION
Producers Association Head
Visits Canada to Aid
Business.

OTTAWA, Aug. 29.-Ben H. Morgan,
president of the British Empire, England,
Is In Canada now. Speaking of the as
sociation's activities, he says:
1.-THE first plank in our activities Is
preference. 1t seems preposterous that
the British people should send their kith
and kin to the dominions, support them
with British captain and credit and then
fail to make arrangements with them to
purchase the products Of their industry.
"Only the day before I sailed, at a
conference of British agriculturists, Brit
ish farmers and Colonial agricultural in
terests passed a resolution in favor OF
making the Empire self supporting in
the matter of raw materials. For that
purpose 1t was considered essential that
a central clearing houe Of information
should be established to bring about En-
pire cooperation in production.
WISH CANADIANS
TO PUSH PRODUCTS.
I'VE also want Canadian manufacturers
Of articles competitive with American
goods to put their products in the United
Kingdom. There are many articles, such
as small tools and agricultural machin
cry, produced over here in large quaint
ties that would ind a big market at
home We already use quantities of
Canadian agricultural machinery, and
the mass production of such manufac-
lures in Canada should enable her to
compete successfully in the British mar
ket. There are enormous quantities of
American small tools that could well be
supplied by Canada"
The work Of such an organization, es-
pecially at the present time, is impor-
tant IN that 1t shows the efforts that Brit
ain Is making to take advantage of the
sentiment aroused over the practical ex-
cIusion of certain Canadian products from
the United States. That measure OF
success will attend these efforts is I'M
doubted
Canadian trade during July took an
other severe alump. the total value BEING
only S11S,S46, 900, as compared with 1884
10000 for July Of last year The i'm.
