uoI. w. J. Barden, army engineer officer in charge of the Sheffield dis trict. said government engineers had recommended s8,500,000 for naviga- tion improvement in the river in the vicinity of Muscle Shoals but the exact amount chargeable to- naviga- tion could not be definitely fixed when considered as a part of ump sum for financing all developments at Muscle Shoals. Senator Norris or Nebraska chairman of the commit tee, said the improvements on account of navigation would be between sS.- 300, 900 and s25,000,000.
 In considering the question of de- veloping the shoals projects, Sena- tor Norris declared, Congress should differentiate between those of an in- dustrial character and others that would ordinarily be considered as river and harbor Improvements
 Colonel Barden said, in concluding his testimony, that he was unable to estimate the exten to which com merce would be carried on in the Ten nessee river when the channel was opened, but added that engineers be- lieved the traffic would justify the expenditure they had recommended.
 Both Chairman Norris and Colonel Bardcn agreed that navigation should be opened to Chattanooga.
 Decide to Salvage Plant
 Major w. H. Burns of the ordnance bureau, told the committee that the war department had decided to sal wage nitrate plant No. l, and had approved policy of keeping nitrate plant No. in standby condition for manufacture of nitrates for the army.
 In a brief executive session later the committee agreed on tentative schedule for continuing it's investi- gation of the five offers for Muscle Shoals development.
 Senator Norris said he had written to organizations of engineers, chem ists and power interests telling them of the hearings being conducted and extending the privilege of having their representatives appear. In ad- dition it was decided to begin proba- bly next Monday with examination of officials of the Alabama Power

people Of Irish nativity and race
should assemble around the festive
board to hear something that shall
take them away from the miserable,

their own even laudable though at the

remind them Of their ancestors, to tell
them something Of the place Of their

players who are capable of carrying
the team standing well up toward PEN
nantville. Stellar diamond performers
are the one big need at present, for al.
though the Joplin reserve list numbers
more than thirty players, very few Of
these are classed as being Western
League caliber.
The owners Of the new team declare
they are going to get real team-a
winning team-together, no matter
what 1t costs.
Inflelder Stanley will remain with
the Denver team, 1t has been an.
nounced, although the Tulsa, Okla,
club has offered $1,000 for him. Shan
ley is real player. according to the
reports Of his work last year.
Tommy Long. patriarch of the game,
and former outflelder on the st. Louis
National League team, also will stay
with the Denver aggregation, although
$500 has been offered for him.
