RIVER STEAMBOATS,.


The Western American Specimens Admit
rably Adapted For Their Purposes.
While the western American river steam
er may be improved in some minor points,
1t is, In general design and construction,
admirably fitted for the peculiar work that
it has to do. Considered from a strictly
engineering standpoint, it is creditable
structure. Furthermore, 1t Is a striking
example of the survival of the fittest.
In comparing the advances which have
been made in the ocean and American
lake marine with those on the western riv-
ers, the latter have generally been made to
appear in an unfavorable light. The fact,
however, has been overlooked in most
cases that the conditions of service are
radically different, and these differences
necessitate, in fact compel, corresponding
differences in the character of the steam
ers. The boilers and engines of the mag
niacent ocean liners would be as much out
of place and would fare as disastrously on
the western river steamboat as would the
machinery of the latter If transferred to
ocean service. Machinery essentially SIM
liar to that employed on the American
lakes has been tried many times on west
ern rivers. Large sums of money have
pcch SpoHO Ou experiments, ana Ul0 result
has always been failure. Even the vertical
engine has been abandoned. Barring I'M
important details, the machinery of the
western river steamer Is prominently
the right thing in the right place"
1t Is not uncommon for the boats to run
aground, and it is still more common for
the cargo on board to be badly distributed.
Either of these conditions will cause an
immediate distortion of the entire steamer,
and the machinery is thrown out of line.
The peculiar type of engines employed
stands this severe service without injury
or arrangement.
The accepted type of machinery Is so
simple and reliable that it can be handled
satisfactorily by small number of men,
and these need not necessarily be highly
skilled, nor of long experience. This is of
some Importance in view of the fact that
the months of idleness render it difficult to
retain the best men, and that it is always
necessary to keep the salary account down.
Experiment has demonstrated that the
saving in fuel due to improved machinery
does not, as rule, compensate for the
drawbacks accompanying its use, such as
increased weight, space occupied, greater
first cost and less reliability.-W n Bryan
in Casters Magazine.

FOLLOWING his threat, made public
through the newspapers, Senator DAILY
presented to the Senate, on Monday even
ing of last week, a resolution censuring
Judge Gaskill, of this county, for appear
ing before House committee to speak
against the bill requiring railroads to
carry bicycles free. President Williams
promptly ruled that the resolution was out
of order, and that he was right nobody
will deny. Had Judge Gaskill done any
thing deserving censure or punishment it
was not within the province of the Senate
to take cognizance of the affair by mere
resolution. If impeachment were neces-
sary the House of Assembly alone could
proceed, and for the Senate to have ex-
pressed an opinion in advance would have
been not only discourteous but strictly
without precedence and clearly illegal.
But Senator DAILY was evidently only
playing to the galleries" as he gleefully
exclaimed, when ruled out of order, ''the
papers will get it anyway" What has
caused this sudden change in the feelings
of the Senator from Hudsonl Not very
long since he was asked to vote against
the confirmation of a lawyer appointed to
Judgeship-not a county Judgeship, but
to seat on the bench of high court
on the ground that the appointee would
not relinquish the practice of law and
would have chance to pass upon his own
cases in his own court. Senator DAILY
promptly refused and said such things
should not be insinuated. But in the
latter case the man to be supported was a
Democrat. Judge Gaskill is Republican

You'd think February made the
prices. Why in the. world don't
people exercise common sense? We
could sell Bedroom Furniture as
cheap in April as in February. We
don't, unless it be of belated lots
bought for February selling.
We sell bedroom furniture cheap
in February because we put the
buying power of the store on that
particular spot of the business-we
simply watch opportunities to place
great orders for February delivery
at prices less than the normal. AS
a rule you save third to half.
February doesn't make the prices
we make the prices for February.
They are the same in early March
while lots remain.
That's all. It's simple. But the
plan is not adaptable to many stores
so borrowing the idea with no
chance of living up to it doesn't
amount to much. Now, does it?
