WAR SPEEDS UP
Wo Port in World as Well Equip
ped as New York to Han
dle Work.
SAVING IN TIME IS SHOWN
High Speed Coal Dumpers and Light
ers 8implify Work 10,000 Toni
Can Be Loaded in Six
teen Hours.
New York. War has speeded up
coaling of ships In the port of New
York until no other port In the world
at the present time is as well equip
ped to handle this Important task.
So fast has become the coaling ot
big vessels that enormous liners like
the Imperntor can have their bunkers
filled to their capacity of 10,000 tons
in 18 hours.
The reason for the increased speed
is largely high-speed coal dumpers
and fuel lighters. Each one of the
latter Is able to give a ship 1,000 tons
of coal In eight hours, an achieve
ment due mainly to special coal ele
vating machinery.
But ships requiring 1,000 tons or
less are In the big majority, whether
transatlantic or coastwise trade Is
considered. And It is not essential
that for such ships there should be a
loading device separate from the coal
barges to enable a continuous stream
of barges to ply to and from coal
dumping stations.
In a Single Day.
For the average vessel a total of
800 tons Is usually sufficient, and this
means that a ship of this sort may
discharge a cargo and take on a new
one all In the course of a single day.
With the adoption of the modern
lighter it is an easy matter to load
coal while the cargo is being unload
ed and a new one taken on. One mod
ern high-speed lighter can coal three
such ships in an eight-hour day.
This development of modern light
ers is equalled by better facilities for
transferring coal from cars to barges.
Huge steel dumping machines now
take up a 50-ton car bodily, elevate it
and empty its contents into the barge
MAKES CLEVER DEFENSE
mem
Mrs. Helen Hill Weed, daughter of
the Connecticut congressman, who by
her clever defense of herself and her
twelve sister-suffragettes has won the
admiration of the court and all mem
bers of the bar who followed with in
terest their trial for "obstructing the
traffic" in front of the White House
recently.
This ardent suffragist took upon her
self the duties of counsel and won
great favor with the lawyers by her
skillful cross-examinations. Mrs. Weed
never studied law in her life but she
certainly made things hum some in the
Washington courtroom.
Despite her strong defense, the suf
fragists were adjudged guilty and fined
$25 apiece. Two of the ladles paid,
the other eleven electing to serve three
days in jail the alternative. Mrs.
Weed was one of the eleven to choose
Jail. Upon their release they were roy
ally feted by the women's party la the

COALING SHIPS
by tilting the entire car on the side a
great Improvement over the process
of unlocking a trapdoor in the bottom
of the car and letting the coal slide
through. These machines have a
capacity of 0,000 tons each a day.
Saving of time to the shipowner
here is shown by comparison with
Cardiff, the English port where the
largest tonnage of English coal is
loaded for export. In loading a ves
sel, for example, the English shipper
uses a railroad car of ten or twelve
tons, while the American uses one of
fifty to ninety tons cnpaclty, so that
the Cardiff docks must discharge from
five to ten carloads to every one dis
charged in New York in order to main
tain the same speed.
Carried by Steel Colliers.
Steel colliers ply between Boston
and Hampton Eoads, a distance of 600
miles. Each one of these ships is capa
ble of making a round trip every week
and transporting 850,000 tons of coal
a year. A vessel of the same tonnage,
however, carrying a cargo of coal from
arain to a port 600 miles away
would take a week at Cardiff to load
Its cargo and another week et its des
tination to dlschanre It. Thus New
York laden ships can make three trips
to one ror a Cardiff laden vessel.
Such things as these are what nlni-on
New York as the greatest port in the
world and makes American coal op
erators feel that there is a great op
portunity for exporting American coal.

Cut Food Supply.
Sklbbereen, County Cork. German
submarines have been actively en
gaged In the destruction of the Irish
fishing fleets" In the waters around
these coasts. Of course it is impossi
ble to designate here the exact local
ities where or the dates when the Prus
sian pirates did their cowardly work.
Bnt their purpose Is plain to all the
world to cut off part of Ireland's and
England's food supply, for mackerel

The submarines were- busy many
miles outside from Kenmare In Kerry
to Howth on Dublin bay. Many fish
ing craft are at the bottom of the aea,
and the men who owned them and the
fishermen who worked on them are
ruined financially.
Affixed Bombs on Boats.
sOn a certain evening about seven
o'clock the fishing fleet put out from
Baltimore, on Baltimore bay, near
Sklbbereen. The first numbered about
eighty boats of all classes and em
braced several boats from Arklow,
County Wlcklow. A few hours after
the fleet set out a German U-boat of
the latest pattern, about 300 feet In
length, appeared. The submarine did
not waste torpedoes or shells on the
defenseless fishing boats; the crew
simply placed bombs on 13 of them
and so destroyed thein.
Only three minutes were allowed
the hapless fishermen to get Into their
small boats ; then all their belongings,
which in many cases Included con
siderable sums of money, were sent to
the bottom. Had it not been for the
appearance of a British patrol, which
caused the submarine to submerge at
once, it is certain that all the fleet
would have been destroyed. Those
that escaped returned to port with an
abundance of fish, but are not ventur
ing out again, so that in one night
the fishing fleet of Bal'.imore has been
put out of action by the Germane,
which means a loss of many thousand

IRISH FISHERMEN
of pounds to the poor fishermen and
their families. Among the fishing
boats sunk were two fine motorboats
belonging to the Baltimore Piscatorial
schools, a motorboat the property of
John Beamish, Sklbbereen, and two
motorboats owned by Mr. Cottrell,
Baltimore, worth several hundred
pounds each.
The pirates did not spare even the
smallest craft, for they bombed two
open boats. With a great hammer
they smashed to bits the engine of a
little bont belonging to John Dono
van of Castletownshend and left it to
drift about.
No lives were lost, but for that the
Huns deserve no thanks, for they re
fused the fishermen permission to take
oars Into their punts.
One Cape Clear man, resenting this
refusal, ventured to remark to the cap
tain of the submarine:
"I thought ye Germans would do
nothing to the Irish that ye liked
us?"
"Ah, my dear fellow, you don't know
the Germans yet," was the command
er's curt reply,
The Germans Intimated that they
had sunk all the Kinsale fishing boats
as they had come along to Baltimore,
and that off Dunmore they had de
stroyed the Waterford fishing fleet
They made no secret of the fact, but
on the contrary boasted about It and
declared that they would have every
Irish fishing boat at the bottom of
the sea before p month. Furthermore
one of the submarine crew said they
Intended shelling villages on this
coast shortly.
"It'e All Up Now."
Consternation and despair have
seized our unfortunate flsherfolk.
"It is all up now, sir," said a Balti-
more skipper, "when they are sinking
our fishing boats." When I told him
I would expose the Huns' deviltry he

HOPS REACH 15 CENTS
Crop Estimates in Oregon and Wash
ington Are Lowered Red Spider
Causes Damage in Oregon.
Portland The hop market is climb
ing fast. Only a few weeks ago buy
ers would not consider new hops at any
price. Now contracts are strong; at
11 cents. Five hundred bales of 1917
Yakimas were sold on contract at 15
cents, and the same price was paid for
1000 bales of Mendocinos and Sonomas,
Buyers were freely offering 15 in both
the California districts.
The market is quoted at 15 cents
and it is doubtful whether any hops
could be bought at that price.
The Pacific Coast crop is not looking
good. Until recently it was thought
the reduced acreage in Oregon would
produce 40,000 bales. Now some of
the dealers believe it will not go over
30,000 or 85,000 bales. In addition to
the bad effects of the prolonged dry
spell and the poor cultivation, due to
the labor shortage, the red spider is
causing damage in many sections.
Washington will not produce over
20,000 bales of hops this year, accord
ing to authorities in that state. The
total United States crop may be under
150,000 bales, while a conservative es
timate of the supply needed by brew
ers is 185,000 baleB.

Spokane D. W. Twohy, president
of the Old National bank, accompanied
by J. K. McCornack, manager of the
Union Securities company, and Thomas
P. Wren, president of the Northwest
Live Stock association, have returned
from the PalouBe, Lewiston, Camas
prairie and the Nez Perce prairie sec
tions. Speaking of conditions in these
territories Mr. Twohy said:
"There will be less than half of last
year s crop and it will bring 75 per
cent of the money received last year.
I arrived at this conclusion after con
frences with many of the farmers and
bankers of the sections we visited,
also after going into a great many of
the grain fields and having them ex
amined, analyzed and tested by Mr.
Wren and Mr. McCornack, who are
both good farmers.
"This year brings out the danger of
the farmer attempting to handle too
much land or to overwork his farm.
The best results are shown by the pru
dent farmer who took good care of his
land and worked it carefully.
"Our conclusion is that there is no
crop failure, but a shrinkage in the
yield, showing that the land of the In
land Empire will, even under adverse
circumstances, produce a reasonable
crop. "

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because
few drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so It
oan be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone coats
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It la
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.
