HIGH OFFICERS ATTEND
JCumber of DiTisions,liikely to Be
Reduced and New System of
Adjutors Inaugurated.
Decisions vitally affecting every
phase of shipping hoard activity on
the Pacific coast are expected as the
result of a conference today between
D. M. Callis, manager of steel ship
.nnitniMinn in the northwest. Lt. J
Ventworth. manager of wood ship
construction in this district, and Man-
aser Krey of the construction division
of the southern Pacific district.
Steel and wood ship construction in
the southern Pacific district are
marrsit in one division, so the meet
ing set for today will be attended by
all the highest officers 01 ine con
struction division of the emergency
fleet corporation for the entire coasi.
Plnns -Will Be -Worked Oot.
One of the primary objects of the
conference is to work out plans for
the consolidation of the "construction
division with the division of main
tenance and repair. Except for the
matter of settlements, the work of
the steel ship construction division in
this district was completed with the
Hi.Hvirv to her operators of the
steamer Bearport. which will nis'n
loading today. But four wooden
steamers remain to be completed in
this district.
The national policy of the shipping
board consolidation of departments
and reduction of personnel is ex
prcted to be reflected strongly in the
results of today s conference.
One of the most sweeping changes
expected to result from the meeting
today is the consolidation of the three
emergency fleet corporation districts
on the Pacific coast into one.
Coast Heretofore Divided.
Heretofore the Pacific coast has
been divided into the northern Pacific
district, the Oregon district and the
southern Pacific district. Headquar
ters of the three districts have been
respectively Seattle, Portland and San
p'rancisco. A similar consolidation is
anticipated elsewhere, to result in the
grouping of the entire country into
only four districts, to be known as
the Atlantic, Gulf, Lake and Tacific
districts.
Another important matter to come
up today is the abolition of adjust
ment boards and the creation In their
place of district adjustors. Under this
arrangement, one man in each of the
four emergency fleet districts would
assume the work and responsibility
formerly belonging to a board. Kach
district adjustor will report directly
to the shipping board.

TWIN FALLS OUTLET TO PACIF
IC COAST IS FORECAST.
Organization of Idaho, Nevada and
Tidewater Company Is An
nounced by Officers.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho, March 8.
(Special.) Organization of the Idaho,
Nevada & Tidewater Railroad com
pany, with plans for building a rail
road from Twin Falls to Wells, Nev.,
thus providing an outlet to the Pa
cific coast markets, was" announced
here today by officials of the com
pany. These plans will be made
known at a reception and banquet to
representative citizens of the Twin
Falls country, to be held at the Rog
erson hotel next Wednesday. George
Davis, president, of San Francisco,
with H. E. Van Sander and other of
ficials, will make a tout of inspec
tion through this territory. A recep
tion has been arranged, with a ban
quet to follow.
That the company's plans compre-'
hend a railway line from Twin Falls,
extending through Buhl and Filer,
thence south to Nevada and passing
through the contract mining fields to
connect with the Western Pacific near
Wells, is known. The proposal is cre
ating much excitement here, since it
has long been recognized that Twin
Falls will not materialy increase in
population unless a road is built con
necting the city with San Francisco.
New territory would thus be opened
up to Twin Falls and other towns in
this section.
While a rail outlet to the coast
would induce factory men to start
plants here and would increase the
population, prominent business men
of the various towns of the tract wil
be in attendance at the banquet. The
company has been very active in pro
moting the enterprise, according to
word reaching this city.

much of the land in the proposed dis
