JARDINE IS IMPRESSED
System Held of Advantage
To Farmer In Marketing
Various Produce
KANSAS CITY, Nor. 17. The
proposal for the development of a
gigantic Inland waterway aystem to
help aolve Ihe transportation prob
lems of the middle western farmer,
haa the endorsement of Secretary of
Agriculture Jardlne.
"The development of waterway
I essential to your progress," Jar
dlne told farmer gathered bere
Tuesday night, to attend the Ameri
can farm congress. Jardlne was
the second member of Prealdcnt
Coolldge' cabinet to endorse the
plan for creation of a great water
transportation system throughout
the Mississippi and Missouri river
valleys, within a few weeks. Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover also
gave the plan bia aupport In a speech
given bere recently.
"We have railways and they muat
receive return adequate to enable
them to render satisfactory service,"
Jardlne said. "The farmers who use
them for extremely long hauls, as
do farmers In thla region are, bow-
ever. In a bad competitive position
wttb respect to those farmers who
live within a few miles of water
ways, and can transport their pro
duce to those waterway at a mini
mum cost. Once water Is reached.
the transportation inevitably coat
less than by land.
"Moreover, water transportation
la essential If we are to have In
dustrial development In this region
and no region as great as this can.
under modern conditions, reach
thoroughly satisfactory development
without Industry. Industries tend
lo locate where water transportation
Is available.
"This region has an advantage In
the extent of its agricultural raw
products. Now, however, a great
deal of the profit whtchehould come
lo a basically agricultural region, is
divorted from here to other regions,
because they are doing tho manu
facturing inlo finished products of
the raw product that are produced
here. With a unified aystem of
waterways through . the Interior of
the United States we may look for
ward to the development of Indus
trios that are fitted to utilise the
products which we produce in thla
region, and which can be adran
tageously manufactured here."

DRAKE III. READY
TO START SOON
New Retail Lumber Firm Has
Announced Opening Date
For Two Weeks Hence
C. V. Drake, for many year con
nected with the Weyerhauser Tim
ber company, both in Its old white
pine plant at Cloquet, Minn., and
later on the road for the same firm,
baa purchased a retail lumber site
In Klamath Falls, and will be ready
to open for business within the next
two weeks. Announcement to this
effect was made by Mr. Drake last
night.
The site chosen by Mr. Drake is
that next to the Martin Bros, com
pany on Spring street near Sixth.
The Drake Lumber company, as the
new firm will be known, has se
cured 2jI)0 feet of property along
the railway tracts for" laading ndr"-"r3Mrrr!ito. etnwkmg badHyr
discharging rail shipments, while the
office will front on Spring street,
thus giving him excellent access to
the main business thoroughfares of
the city.
Four lots have been purchased on
this site, which already haa estab
lished itself as a wholesale district
in the city. The Drake company
will handle a complete line of build
ing lumber, lime, plaster, cement,
paints and oils, shingles, building
hardware and building paper.
"I expect to have the office ready
and some lumber on hand ready
for the retail trade within about
two weeks." said Mr. Drakt lost
night. "We are rushing things
along aa fast as possible and 1 think
we will be In pretty good shape by
that time."
Mr. Drake first started In the
lumber business In Minnesota with
the WeyerhauBcr company white
pine plant at Cloquet. After four
years with that branch of the big
lumbering firm, he went on the road
where he remained for six years.
For the past two years he has
been with the 8llrer Falls Timber
company, with headquarters at Sll
verton, Oregon.
The advent of the Drake Lumber
company ia another instance of the
faith industrial men have in Ihe
growth of Klamath Falls, and will
be a welcome business addition to
the city.

200 SOULS ABOARD
Coast Guard Cutters Stand
By Burning Vessel In
Case of Emergency
CAPE MAY, N. J., Nov. 17.
"We are holding our own, and
will be able to reach the Dela
ware breakwater pier," Is tbe
wireless message received by a
coast guard from the Lenape,
carrying 207 passengers, at 1:30
this a. m.
Tbe Lenape. said It expected to
reach the Over Falls light ship,
which Is three or four miles from
shore within fifteen minutes, and
asked the coast guard cutters
Seneca and KIckapoo, which were
nearby, to meet ber there.
The fire. It was gathered froi
radio dispatches, was confined to
the ship's hold a fact which led
shore stations to minimize the
chances of a catastrophe.
At 1:10 a. m., one of the coast
guard cutters reported that the
Lenape was IS miles from shore
and proceeding at a speed that
should bring her Into the Dela
ware breakwater harbor at Lewes,
within an hour.
. NEW YORK, Nov. 18. -Wednesday
The Clyde liner Lenape. carry
ing 200 passengers, enroute from
New York to Charleston, and Jack
sonville, Fla., was afire at the mouth
of Delaware bay early this morn
ing, but apparently was not In any
Imminent danger.' -
At 12:30 the Lenape flashed.
message which said: ... ... r . .
Sbe was then passing Five Fath
oms benk at the mouth of the bay,
and was headed for Delaware break
water, making IS knots an hour.
Neither radio stations on land, nor
two coast guard cutters, rushing to
the passenger ship's aid, had been
able at this time to learn the ex
tent of the tire on the Lenape. Ad
vices from the ship had been most
meagre. However, she had request
ed the coast guard cutters Seneca
and KIckapoo to come to her aid,
and had refused the assistance of
several other ships, which were pro
ceeding to her side.
At 12:45 the KIckapoo had sight
ed the Lenape and wirelessed that
she was then trying to determine the .
gravity of Ihe peril besetting the
liner.
Tbe Seneca was not far away.
The Lenape sailed from New York
at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Her
first distress signal was picked up
by the Independent Wireless com
pany at 10:20 p. m., and broad
casting of radio programs was still
ed at once. The Lenape reported
at this time that she was heading
for Delaware breakwater, being then
about eight miles southeast of the
Five Fathoms bank lightship.
In a short time the Seneca, tha
shipping board steamer Chickasaw,
tbe Panama railroad steamer Ancon,
and the old Dominion liner Hamil
ton, had turned to the Lenape's
assistance.
At 12:15 the Hamilton reported
that she was within 14 miles of tbe
Lenape, but soon came the message
from Capt. Devereaux of the Clyde
liner, that the assistance of the
Hamilton and the other commercial
vessels was not necessary.
