ers.
Under the enabling act the state
owns the harbor lands lying between
low water mark and deep water,
which it is prohibited from selling
outright, but which in the past it has
been leasing for thirty year periods.
The state board Of land commission.
ers has adopted a resolution that here
after no leases Of harbor areas will be
made for greater period than ten
years, except in special cases where
the applicant purposes to erect con-
crete or other permanent docks and
piers. A member Of the board, dis
cussing the policy, said:
flust Be Permanent Work.
ct has been the custom of speculat.
ors to secure these thirty-year leases
and put up wharves of piling and
planks, which appear all right on pa
per and which may be considered a
compliance with the provisions of law
that they are suitable for commerce
and trade. But we find these struc-
lures are but temporary and are held
for speculation.
Hereafter we shall require proof
that applicants are prepared to put in
permanent docks Of stone, concrete OF
other permanent and expensive con.
struction before issuing a thirty year
lease. The board will also take into
confederation whether the improve
ment will be-, as required, an aid tc
navigation before approving the lease.
"By this means in time we expect to
secure the very best docks at all ports
on tho sound. The time has come
when auch q policy is absolutely nec.
essary, and we are determined to put q
stop to the blocking of harbor improve.
ments by spectators and to improve
ments which are only temporary in
character and are intended only az q
compliance with the letter and not
with the spirit Of the law"
Several applications for the lease Of
harbor lands now pending in the office
of the land commissioner will be gov.
erned by the new regulations.

MODERN BUcKBOAR0s.

Rubber Tires Now on the Wheels Of
This Originally Primitive Vehicle.
If the man that made the original
blackboard could see one Of the sorts
we turn out nowadays" said q car
riage manufacturer, "he would certain
" turn around in the road to LOOK at 1t.
'The drst blackboard, consisting Of 4
seat placed on an elastic board whose
two ends rested on pair of axles, was
q very simple and a very rough and
ready vehicle, designed for use on
rough and rocky country and mountain
roads, and there are parts Of the coun-
try in which such buckboards are still
used, turned out by local makers; but
the modern blackboard, while it still
preserves in general way the buck
board simplicity of appearance, is a
very different proposition from that.
1--WE put now between the axles un-
der the blackboard longitudinal steel
springs, which prevent the boards sag
ging unduly, and give it greater
strength and power Of resistance and
elasticity. We make such buckboards
with one, with two, or with three seats,
seating two, four. or six persons; and
we make them either without tops or
with them. With buggy top on a
single seated blackboard, and with suit
able tops on larger buckboards If they
are desired.
And one some buckboards, to be
used in districts where the character
OF the roads ID such 40 to make their
use advantageous, we put rubber tired
wheels. Novowner would want rub
Der tired blackboard to be used In re-
gions where the roads were sandy or
rocky; in such steel tired wheels would
be best but rubber tires are very good
for a blackboard to be used in the city,
where a few buckboards are used, or
on buckboards to be used in parts
where the roads are macadamized.
1.-THE seats Of those modern buck
boards are made wide and with high
backs, for comfort, and they are uphol-
stored with the best Of materials;
which are, for that matter, used in
these vehicles throughout, for they are
made for service as well as comfort,
and they are in fact most serviceable
as well as most comfortable. But the
man driving one Of the old original
buckboards, and who had never seen
one Of these, would certainly turn to
look at it II he should chance to meet
one Of these modern buckboards on the
road. "-Washington Post.

two to eight feet long. The best way
to build the boat was to find board
about four feet long and six or eight
inches wide. This was sawed diago-
nally across the center, and the angle
made on each piece was made the
bow. These two pieces were held side
by side eight inches apart, and two
narrow strips were nailed across bow
and stern, an extra piece having a
hole in it was nailed on the bow
strip, and a stick about a foot long
was stuck in it for a mast The best
kinds of masts were made of bowels
sticks one-Quarter inch thick to be
found at lumber yards and hardware
stores.
On the mast was fastened a cross
arm just as wide as the boat. A
piece of sheeting made an excellent
sail, and after it was fastened on the
arm with a thread and needle the two
lower corners were fastened securely
to the sides of the boat. The sail was
put as far forward as possible in the
bow Of the boat, for it helped steer,
and no rudder became necessary.
Without any doubt the boy who lives
near the water and finds some odd
pieces Of lumber, some nails, and q
piece Of cloth will find in this boat
making enough to amuse him OF and
on half the summer.

Uncle Tom was proud of him.
But Johnny belonged to mamma

But "Oh," mamma and papa would
then say, you wait and see. Johnny
will talk before your parrot will"
And they waited.
But all Polly said was "Craw, craw.

A Big Fish Story.
When the last foot Of the cable to
Alaska was laid many months ago
there was much satisfaction expressed
over the fact that communication with
Alaska was up-to-date. But last fall
that same precious cable stopped work
Ing entirely between Valdez and Sc
attic. Nobody could account for the
stoppage, and a crew had to be sent
out to fish up the cable and see what
was the matter. It was a whale; a
dead one, caught by the jaws In the
cable and held down until he drowned.
That is probably the very biggest fish
story Of the century, but it happens
to be absolutely true.

President of New York Life Says He Will Do All He Can to Get Law Agent to Re-
 turn.

New York November 13.-John A. Mc- Call president of the New York Life In- surance company, was called before the Armstrong comnittfs of insurance 9sves@ tisation today and peremtorily ordered by the committee to demand the return from Europe to this country of Andrew Hamil- ton. the lawyer who has had charge Of legislative matters for the New York Life.
 MT. Mccall was further ordered to de- mand an accounting from Hamilton Of the money expended by him and of the balanac which he owes the New York Life. MT. Mccall denied that 1t was the policy of his company to have Mir Hamil- ton remain abroad until after this in- vestigation had been concluded and said that on the contrary he would very much like to have Hamilton return.
 MT. Mccall replying to MT. Hughes. counsel for the committee, said he had called the attention of the board of trus- tees of the company to his testimony be- fore the committee relative to Hamilton and gave MT. Hughes copy of his statement which said that if MT. Hamilton did not return to the New York Life the sum of $235,000 by December 31 he would himself pay it to the company. MT. Mccall said Hamilton was either in Paris or Nauheim.
 Another interesting line of examination was opened up just before the adjourn ment for the day when John McGinnes, an employe of the Equitable Life, was called. He produced letter books and memoranda which MT. Hughes read and was In the midst of reading when ad- journment was taken. These were in- structions from former Comptroller Thomas D. Jordan of the Equitable Life to A. c. Fields relative to the killing of the very bill introduced into the leg islature that would affect or help the interests of the insurance company or any of it's officers This line of examination will be followed out when the sessions are resumed tomorrow

JORDAN TO ADVISE
 HOLDING FOR IS CENTS
Says Most Reliable Estimates Now Place the Crop at About
 1o,ooo,ooo Bales.

Atlanta Ga, November 3.-President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton association in an interview this morn- ing says:
 '"The open declaration of Secretary Wil- son of the department of agriculture that the recent condition report of 6SS is ac- curate and trustworth' and which shows that the years crop will be in the neigh borhood of only ten million bales should knock out all high estimates and put everybody down on the working basis or a short crop. Secretary Wilson's esti- mate confirms the report made by this association some time ago, predicting a crop of about 100000 bales.
 "As this report is confirmed by accurate information by two of the most reliable sources. it is unquestionable that the re- mainder of the crop now in the hands of the planters should not be marketed for less than 15 cents a pound. I shall at once issue a proclamation advising this course."

DUNNE'S PLAN GOES
 TO THE COMMITTEE
SUBMITS ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR BRINGING ABOUT MUNICH PAL OWNERSHIP IN CHICAGO IN ONE OF THREE WAYS.

Chicago, November 13.-The ordinance providing for steps to secl/e municipal ownership of the street railways in Chi- cago was submitted to the city council tonight by Mayor Dunne.
 The ordinance was accompanied by a message to the aldermen which gave three ways in which Mayor Dunne asserts he will be able to bring about municipal ownership. The first plan Is by reaching an agreement with the traction compa- nies by which their property would be transferred to the city at price to be decided upon by arbiters. The second is by condemnation of the property of the street railway company under the pro- visions Of the Mueller Net. The third method is the one which the mayor has already presented as an alternative to his contract plan. It is for the construc- ton of municipal street railway lines which will parallel the lines of the ex- isting companies.
 The ordinance which accompanied the message from the mayor asked that au- thority be given to place on the ballots at the spring election the question whether the city shall isuue Mueller bill certificates to the amount of S5,OOO.UOO This sum it is declared by the mayor q needed for the reconstruction of the lines and for the purchase of the unex- pired franchise rights of the existing companies. The message and ordinance were referred to the committee on ldcas transportation, the same fate which met the other proposition submitted to the council by the mayor in regard to tH municipalization of the Chicago street railways. Another ordinance submitted by Mayor Dunne was for the regulation of gas and electric light rates. This ordi- nance which provides for 75 cent gas was referred to the committee on gas, oil and electric lights.
