CROP ESTIMATES LARGER
THAN BEEN ANTICIPATED
_ !
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9.—
Crop estimates for the year are now
decidedly optimistic, notwithstand
ing the gloomy reports that were
sent out early in the Spring by the
Department of Agriculture, and
which intensified the speculation of
wheat to rise in the various grain
exchanges throughout the country.
Then it was believed that the wheat
and other grain crops would be
short.
Today the estimate based upon
reports from all producing states
show that the wheat crop will show
an increase of over 38,000,000
bushels, a remarkable increase con
sidering the unfavorable weather
conditions in many sections. The
corn crop will even show an excess
far greater than this, while the
figures just issued indicate that the
potato crop will be the greatest on
record and be over double that of
last year. This sensational produc
tion, it is believed, will have a sens
ible effect in lowering the prices,
especially of potatoes.
WASHINGTON, D. <'., July 9.—
The Navy Department has author
ized the establishment of a subma
rine and airship base at Port \ng
eles, Washington state.
PORI ANGELES. Wash., July 9.
—The news that this will be made
a submarine base as well as airship
headquarters has resulted in a gieat
boom in local real estate, which ror
some time past has been hanging
fire. It is understood that work
will be established immediately

EL PASO, July 9-—Elaborafe!
measures are being taken to pre
vent the organizing work of the
members of the Industrial Workets
of the World. Never liked by tlr?
employers and more than usually
distasteful even as unions generally
are, the war is affording tlie bos--Qs
a chance to restrict the activities
of the members.
Today federal agents arrested
four I. W W. members in the vicin
ity of the Consolidated Smelting
Co's property. Xo charge so far it.
NEW MYSTERY IN
GERMAN INTRIGUE
BERNE, Switzerland, Jul> 9.—
The Swiss Government is curious to
know why Germany wants huge
quantities of Japanese crepe paper
napkins. German agents through
out Switzerland have been placing
orders for large quantities, paying
for them in napkins of their own
manufacture and money which
alone equals the value of the Japan
ese variety. Whether this is some
new Teutonic intrigue involving the
Far East or whether the Japanese
variety has been found valuable for
for manufacture of explosives is a
problem which the Swiss secret
service is working out.

Well, we’re mixed up in the war and we’re going the limit
until we win out. Oar boys are oing to France—we’ll be fight
ing iu the trenches, in the air and on the sea. But what are we
going to do about it at Home here?
Are we going to break down and sob about it or we going
to buck up and look for the silver lining in the dark cloud.
Over in France, the farmer is digging and hoeing ou tin
fields while stray shells occasionally burst near him, but he does
ont pay any attention to them—just keps on a-digging and
a-hoeing.
Freinds, dont let the old farmer in France have anything
on us—let’s just keep on digging and hoeing no matter what
happens; that’s the best thing for the soul and business that I
know oi'.

placed against the men and the rest
resent this extraordinarily high
handed action of the authorities.
It is alleged that Patrick Car
mody, one of the number taken into
custody, is a confederate of industri
alists who were planning to orga
nize a strike of the three thousand
Mexican men employed by the
company.
This policy of protecting employ
ers by preventing’ strikes, regard- j
less of the wage conditions, is like- i
ly to precipitate more serious
trouble than it is calculated to
suppress.
SPOKANE, July 9.—Governor
Alexander who is besought by em
ployers in mines and lumber camps
to suppress or aid in suppressing
the I. W. W. listened to a street
speaker of the I. W. W. yesterday
for over an hour.
The Idaho executive appeared to
be greatly interested, and bought
a quantity of literature from the
members selling it on the street.
LITTLE PORK
WASHINGTON, I). C., July 9.—
The Rivers anil Harbors bill is this
year shaved to the bone. It was
never thus before. Navigation ap
propriations were always the most
promising items of “pork” in the
Congressional barrel.
The bill was reported out of the
commitee May 9 and is scheduled to
be considered by Congress after
food control measures are adopted.
It carries an appropriation of $26.
700,000. Every item this year was
estimated by the War Department.
Other items may be added on the
floor but each must be approved by
Secretary Baker. Only projects ot
absolute necessity are contemplated.
The President has indicated to
Rep. Sir,all, South Carolina, chair
man of the Rivers and Harbor Com
mittee, that he will sign the bill as
soon as it is passed, to expedite pro
jects that are war measures.
