NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Stocks dis
played steadiness in the first two
hours trading on the stock ex-
change today. Traders were greatly
impressed by the calm manner in
which the general list during the
last few days faced the disturbing
developments both here and abroad
and the smart rally in the late trad
ing yesterday on comparatively
small transactions. This bore out
the contention held in many quar-
tiers that the average level of
prices had struck a point at which
operations for the decline involves
risk, owing to the markets strange
technical position, which resulted
from the passing Of large amounts
of stock from weak to strong hands
during the prolonged decline, which
lasted for about five months.
Barring the oil stocks, which were
again under pressure, due to the
posting of lower gasoline prices in
Eastern territories. the market was
able to extend yesterdays advance
in different sections. although

greatest caution. Steel and motor
stocks were quietly bought, espe-
cially Mack Truck, which rose about
two points. Equipment stocks show
ed continued steadiness, Baldwin
getting above III and American Car
and Foundry advancing two points
Various stocks Of the speciality type
were given special consideration.
Prominent among them was Ma
tional Biscuit, which was constantly
accumulated on reports that the
dividend will be increased about a
point. Burns Brothers, Stewart
Warner and Dupont were strong
spots. Eastman Kodak and Amer
lean Sugar, on the other hand, were
under pressure.
A noteworthy incident in the Pc
troleum list was the acute weakness
in Mexican Seaboard Oil, due to the
passing of the dividend. Both stock
and certificates broke about four
points to 5A and 6, respectively,
representing a loss of eighteen
points from the high Of the car in
both cases. Losses in the general
run OF oil stocks were moderate,
and yesterdays urgent selling was
not renewed,
Railroad stocks were dull and
steady.
Cali money renewed at AZ per

he predicts the greatest season of travel to Alaska yet recorded. The Government, MT. Knickerbocker stat ed, is taking an interest in the mat ter of constructing a tourist hotel at the entrance to Mckinley Park. The construction of such building, leased to concessionaire would do much, he declared, to increase tourist travel to Alaska With the installation of boat service on the Yukon, also, will come greater travel, the circuit of Alaska offering great inducements to travel in the North.
 The new service of the Alaska Steamship Company will be timed so as to make close connections with the interior trains of the Governm railway, MT Knickerbocker said, the boats leaving Seattle on Saturday meeting the trains from Fairbanks the following Saturday.
 MT. Knickerbocker reported that a general improvement in business con. ditions is to be noticed Outside, all of which will be reflected, he said, in the summer traffic to Alaska. Mir Knick' erbocker returned to Seattle on the Northwestern on Saturday night
The Cordova daily times., 1923-01-15

That the Alaska Steamship Con-
 pany is making preparations for an
 exceptional tourist season next sum-
 mer is the information conveyed by
 MT. S. H. Knickerbocker, general man.
 ager of the Alaska Steamship Com
 pany and of the Copper River &
 Northwestern Railway, who was in
 Cordova during the interim of the
 Northwestern's trip to the westward
 and return. Following the recent re-
 pairs to the Northwestern, which have
 vastly improved the staterooms and dining saloon of that vessel, the Vic- toria is being put temporarily out Of
 commission while similar improve
 ments are made The staterooms on the Victoria are to be closed from the deck side, their entrance being from the inside. while the dining saloon
 and inside quarters will be given general repairs and redecorating. With the completion of the new steam ship Alaskan, which will be put on the run on June 14th. said MT. Knicker- 1 booker, the Alaska Steamship Com
 pany will have three comfortable and
 commodious passenger vessels for the accommodation of tourists. Begin
 ming with March 10th, MT. Knicker- institute a schedule of weekly sailings 1 a boat leaving Seattle every Satur- day morning for southwest Alaska and and intervening points. With a pas senger capacity of 750 persons, the three vessels in the service will thus l insure a considerable monthly pas senger traffic during the summer months.
 MT. Knickerbocker stated that the Seattle office of the Company is re-
 ceiving a greatly increased number of inquiries from prospective tourists, the communications this winter num- bering five to one of those heretofore booker announced, the Company will received The completion of the Gov
 ernment railway, said MT. Knicker- booker, and the increased advertising Alaska has received as a result of it., have done much to foster a wide spread interest in the Territory, and

DEATH TOLL MAY BELARCE
 TACOMA FIRE

TACOMA, Jan. 15.-A hundred thousand dollar fire in the business section of the city, which occurred yesterday, is believed to have cost the lives of from two to seven per sons. The dead are believed to have been guests of two low-priced hotels which were burned to the ground the destruction of whose registers makes any accurate check of the death toll impossible. That a num- Der of persons were trapped in the burning buildings, however, is de- clared by the firemen, and search of the ruins is in process today in an effort to discover the bodies.

REGION OF VARIED SOILS.

The soil survey of Frederick
County, Maryland. made by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station, has been completed and a
report published showing the vari-
Gus areas Of the different soils by
means of a large colored map. and
giving in detail a description OF
them and their agricultural adapt
alton.
Frederick County comprises an
area of 633 square miles and is To-
Gated in the north-central part Of
Maryland. 1t is region of varied
soils and the chief photographic
features consist Of two parallel
mountain ranges, South Mountain
and Catoctin Mountain, extending
across the western part Of the coun-
ty; the Middletown Valley and the
intermountain region lying between
these two. ranges: the Monocacy
Valley lying east of Catoctin Noun
tain and the low-rolling Linganore
Hills region south and east Of this
valley. Twenty-seven soil series are
represented by AZ soil types, includ-
ing rough. stony land. Most of the
soils are silt and loans. No one
soil stands out predominantly in
area or agricultural preference.

culturally. General farming and
stock raising are followed. The
population of the county is SASH,
of which 71.5 per cent is classed as
rural.

IMPROVING MEADOWS AND
s. PASTURE LAND.

According to Prof. G.. L. Schus-
ter. University of Delaware, in Bull
letin No. 1870, meadows and pastures
properly fertilized, are contributing
factors to successful farming, whose
importance is generally overlooked
In this connection.
Almost no attention is paid to
their fertilization. Professor Schu-
ster points out that by the proper
use of fertilizers the hay crop, usu-
ally valuable one, may be ma
terially increased. He also reports
the interesting fact that the nature
Of the hay crop may be largely con-
trolled by the use of one fertilizer
or another.
Field tests were, begun in 1913 to
determine the best fertilizer treat
ments. On the basis Of net profits
from the crop. ,125 pounds of acid
phosphate and SO pounds Of muriate
of potash proved the best treatment.
A mixture of nitrate OF soda ana
mufiate of potash ranked next, with
complete fertilizer and sulphate OF

PHILIPPINE LEGISLATURES ASKS
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Manila, p. 1.-The Philippine legis-
lature has passed concurrent reso-
luton asking permission to call a
Constitutional Convention as the
next step in the direction of a
Philippine Republic.
The resolution asks the United
States Congress to authorize the
Philippine legislature to make ar
rangements for the holding of a
general election for the selection Of
delegates to constitutional assem-
bly, which shall have the duty of pre-
pairing, discussing, and adopting a
political constitution for an indie
pendent Philippine Republic; of de-
termining, with the government of
the United States, what kind of re-
lationship, il any, should exist be-
tween said government Of the
United States and the Philippines;
and finally prescribing the election
by the people of the Philippines Of
officials that shall exercise the au-
thority and functions prescribed by
the constitution to be adopted and
to whom the present government Of
the Philippines shall be transferred
as soon as they have legally assum-
ed their posts.
The explanatory note accompany
ing the concurrent resolution says:
1T is but natural that the American
people should doubt the success of
the future Philippine state, taking
into considerations differences in
race, customs, and tradition which
separate us from them. For this
reason we should be permitted to
call a constitutional convention
where we may clearly and unequiv-
ocally state what the Philippine re-
public would be- When independ-
ence comes, we would have to adopt,
anyhow, our own constitution. To
adopt it now, concession of inde-
pendence should be more readily
granted since the constitution will
show how the future Philippine
state would be constituted"
