It will be of more help; to the boats going to Bscanaba, and other Lake Michigan ports than at those going through the Soo, or the water la still rather shallow at the latter place. Some vessel men are of the opinion that the present condition will have a tendency' to send a number of big ore carriers to Escsnsha.

The Freight Boats for early loading are still scarce at upper lake ports and with cargoes offered freely the market is in good shape, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Grain shippers at Chicago were In the market for tonnage to load next week, Friday, and bid 1 cents no corn to Buffalo. This Is a slight advance but there was no tonnage In the market at that figure. Two steamers that are due at Chicago with coal were offered at 1 cents and that rat will Jbe paid or the boats will be sent4orre. The Lake Superior' grain trade Is quiet and no charters were reported this week.

Ore Is accumulating at the upper lake ports on account of the scarcity of vessels and the movement for this week will -not be as heavy a It was last week when some of the shippers made records, fbere Is a big fleet bound up and there, will be a good supply of tonnage at the upper Uke ports in a few days. The docks at Lake Erie porta are cleaning up In pretty good shops and many of the vessels that arrived yesterday will be worked out today. I Coal tonnage continues In good and smair cargoes are more plentiful than vessels. There has been little let up in the movement and many of the big carriers arc taking up According to reports from the upper lake receiving ports coal Is going forward In better shape than is usually the case at this time. Boats are getting fait dispatch.

Much, he was being made at present of the frequency of broken rails, but, as a matter of fact, the percentage of broken rails reported In lUUo was no greater.

If as great, as in 1003. The principal basis for this entire controversy, lie said, could be found In the rivalry between the various Steel rail industries. New steel rail industries were coming into the market, chief among which ts the Bethlehem Steel Company, with Its open-hearth process, while the southern steel rail industries already established found it more con-' venient to make steel rails by the open hearth process than by the Bessemer, by reason of the high percentage of 'puosphoru hi the ores available to them. In other words, it was a propaganda by the open-hearth steel railmakers to gain market for their output by really the Bessemer process 1 I. I .1 1 1 1 feature That the.

open-hearth rail was the. better of the two he frankly admitted, and it was not necessary to change the mills, and where they were already equipped for that process, they could be manufactured as cheaply as the Bessemer rail. 1 rrw. m. a a ji it xne wens leaiure in an raus waa tne phosphorus in the ore, which could, not be as readily eliminated from the steel by the Bessemer process aa by the open hearth.

Furthermore, he said, the low-grade phosphorus ores were becoming scarce, and the resort to theopen-hearth would in time become practically a necessity. The United States Steel Corporation, he said, was meeting this condition by constructing its new rail i mills at for the open-hearth and It would doubtless from time to ime, as the opportunity was pre i 'entedr-eonvert its Bessemer mills. i While the present Bessemer-open-hearth controversy was on, sight, he ehould not be lost of the nickel i rail, which he ventured to predict would Juf ninh a haaia for fnriira ivintmMMir between the open-hearth and the nickel rail interests. Already, he said, he had heard the matter mentioned, and, to his knowledge, a certain large independent steel interest, which is 'prepared to enter the open-hearth market, had secured the principal nickel mines of the country, and would doubtless in time take the same interest In the use of the nickel steel rail as Is now being done if or the open-hearth rail.

The Detroit Free Press says: Another i expose of former methods in connection with the Detroit sailors home was made when a legal representative of a Woodward avenue concern called at the offices of the Lake Seamen's union and demanded payment of a bill of $50 for bedding furnished the "sailors' home," Agent Scanlon of the union had hard work convincing the attorney that the Lake Seamen's union is no home -for sailors. The conversation developed marked heart-to-heart features before it ended.

Some time ago a man named Hrnes was detected In methods which caused a public exposure, while ostensibly acting as fiscal agent for the old sailors' home in Detroit. The bin for bedding is thought to be a reminder of his regime. Rock of Ages Light.

W. Lockwood, Major Chester Harding, Capt Wi J. Borden and iSecre-tary A. H. Weber, representing the United States Boar dof Bnglners of Rivers and Harbors, met a number of shin owners snd citizens Interested at Erie.

At the outset, CoL -Lockwood explained that the suggestions must.be confined to the deep, enlng of th entrance "channel a'nd the protection of presque, Isle aa only these two features were Inclined in the proposed government legislation, The snglneera pointed out that. several harbors and channels along the lakes were not. provided with depths of rweniy-rwo reet, several running as low as nineteen, and for that reason if they obliged Erie, others might ask for atten tion. The local experts pointed oat that conditions at the Erie wers materially dif ferent, iney claimed, that In case of i a heavy east a depth of twenty-two reet in the channel was.abso. lutel ynecessary to prevent grounding, the wave motion being felt for at least hslf the distance from the lake between the piers.

Etastls, passenger traffic manager of the Burlington says: i "The railroads of the west have been confronted with a passenger traffic condition which is being met. The passenger busl-i ness became so heavy' that it could not be Handled under the old scheme. There was time when the trains of the west were noted for the speed with which they were sent over the country, but because of the Increased business they Can no longer make that speed. Local business is increasing and the trains are becoming heavier, until now, if yeu take the report from any union aepoi in me west, you i win see max aa trains are arriving from 40 minutes to two hours on the average. it was certain that something had to be done.

Either the. running time of these -trains had to be let out or slower trains put on to handle the intermediate business but alon to care EZSZrt 1 j. i fares, there Is no special Inducement for us, to use up all the energy of our roads in hustling these passenger trains across the country while train after train of freight made to waft for them to pass. This, however, Is not the main issue with us. The freight business Is so heavy that on these single! track roads we must give more consideration toj that business.

i "Consequently! we have eelied the other horn of the dilemma, and have decided to lengthen the mnnrlng -time -of trains. -i "The matter of danger bad. also to be considered, for the httslneaa Is so large that there is danger in speeding these trains across the country, the way we have been doing, I with the lines congested."

"Domesticated. tame or 'garden' oysters are assessable as personal property," according to an opinion of Attorney-General Jackson, written In answer to a query addressed to the tax commissiott by Gv Frank Tut-hill, supervivsor of the town of Southold, Inquiring whether oyster beds should be assessed as. real or personal property and to what purpose the taxes derived therefrom are to be devoted. "The courts have held," says Mr. Jackson, "that oysters are 'wild animals and become personal property When they are reclaimed or artificially planted.

Such domesticated, tame or 'zarden oysters would be assessable aa personal property under the ordinary rules." ARTELS ESTRATITED. Wetland, -Tune 8. Well today that Reman C.irteN, oa a cf Corporation Desbecker declar ed unofPcially this morning that no new ordinance will be adopted by the common council to regulate the operation, of automobiles at street corners, as proposed by Chairman Sullivan of the board of aldermen, who is also chairman of the aldermanic committee on ordinances. This committee, at a meeting held Thursday afternoon, decided that such an ordinance should be drafted and requested Mr. Desbecker to prepare one for sab mission to the board of Aldermen at the next meeting.

"I have had such an ordinance drafted," said Mr. Desbecker. William S. Rann of my office prepared It and when he submitted it to me he expressed the) opinion that no ordinance of the kind desired could be enforced in this city I-agree with him. If the aldermen want this ordinance they can have it, but I also will prepare a report for them In which there is no prepared ordinance and in which I will suggest what should be done.

The actj is the vehicle motor lawf as it is called, is very stringent and It ts a difficult (natter to get a court to enforce local regulation which In any wise conflicts with the motor 'vehicle law or which is intended to 'cover evils already covered by the state, law." "Do you mean that the motor vehicle law requires automobiles i to stop at street corners where street cars are stopping to take on or let off passengers?" "No, not -that, but the law contains provisions which afford relief for such evils. For instance, the laws say 'upon approaching a crossing of. intersecting highways at a speed not greater than Is reasonable and proper, having regard to the traffic then on such highway and the safety of the Theresa no provision of the motor vehicle law which, in so many words, forces automobiles to stop at street crossings, but the law is plain that if traffic conditions warrant stopping the automobiles must stop. "For instance, should a car stop at a street crossing and a crowd of people attempt to board such the crowd spreading across the street from the, car to the curb, it then would be reasonable; and proper for the aatomobilist to stop, and. if he failed to stop, he would be violating the, motor vehicle law and he would be convicted any court upon submission of the necessary proof.

The I motor vehicle law Is explicit and people who are subjected to annol ances by automobilists will oply get the number of the machines so prosecutions can follow, a lot of these evils will be stopped."

8klmmlng River For a Living-- Fish. ermen Who-Nat Corks. Skimming a river for a living may fie said to be one of the most striking ex amples of the utilization of waste. This is done in Parish There Is one individ ual, nt least, in tne Jfrencn capital, who makes It his daily business to skim the Seine. He la out at early morning in an old flat bottomed boat, armed with a skimming pea.

With this he skims off the surface of the river the grease Which collects there the night, and which he disposes of to a soap factory. Generally he makes a quarter or so by his morning's work, which enables him to live. v' In Paris' also are a number of people who make a living out of waste corks, which 'they fish- from the Seine. They collect orr the river bank at each with a short pole, at the end of which is a small improvised net. They set to work to.

gather in the floating corks, subsequently selling them to the cork merchants In the neighborhood. -There are about a score or so of these cork fishermen, who have formed them selves into sort of craft and who guard their interests jealously. If they catch sight of a stranger netting corks they fall on him in a body. Only recently the police rescued one of these novices bare ly in time to save bis life. The sweepings it a floor might well be considered as so much waste; yet, through a fire in London the other day.

which consumed a quantity of sweep ings stared to te basement, a certain firm lost several thousand dollars. The heap of dust and rubbish contained sil ver filings, wbictt was intenaea to ex tract later on. Thla is done regularly at all works where silver or -gold Is used. In gold refiners' premises even the soot In the chimneys is not allowed to be treated aa waste. It is found to contain minute particles of the precious metal, which are far too valuable to be lost.

In places where sheep are bred extensively one frequently sees little bits of wool adhering to briers and hedges. These are no longer regarded as waste. From such wool rubbish, -whether coming from sheep or goats, valuable oil la now extracted. Chicago Tribune. a DEFINED.
