STEAMBOAT RULES
Force Gasoline Boats TO Garry
Whistles
APPLIES REGARDLESS OF sIZE
AND WILL BE RlGlDLY EN-
FORCED BY INSPECTORS.

Owners of "a oline boats have been
worried considerably regarding the
new regulations and how they would
be effected by them While it may
seem strange the supervising inspect
ors who prepared the new regulations
took in the gasoline boats, regardless
of size aud in many respects these
boats will be governed by the same
rules that apply to regular steam
boats.
Revised statutes of the United
States laws. section 4405, and ruleX,
section of the rules and regulations
Of the board of supervising inspectors
reads as follow:
Motor vessels Of any tonnage other
than steam vessels shall be provided
with whistle to be blown by com
pressed air or other power, to give the
necessary whistle signals to passing
vessels"
This includes all the gasoline boats
no matter what their size. 1t win af
feet a great many OF the boats arount
Cairo
This law applies to all gasoline
boats regardle of size and will. b.
rigdly enforced by the inspectors
Tho printed laws will soon be dlstri
buted to all boat owners and after tina
time any violation Of any Of them viii
be punished by a fine.

A berry picker gets two cents box.
This is nearly twice as much as he gets

al price back East is one or one and q
quarter cents q box.
Most of the picking is done by women
and children. It's a good way to turn

The ALDERMANIC CONTEST
and THE SALOON QUESTION

THE RECORD is inclined to the belief
that the city council did the wise thing
in dismissing the contests.
Had we had our way Messrs. KEN
nedy, Morrison and Jensen would GER
tainly have been on the board.
1t is also probably true that major
ity of the people voting endeavored to
express similar desire.
But unfortunately some people vot-
ing did not know how to vote and in
this age Of newspapers and day Of en-
lightenment it is ques stionable il such
ballots are worthy Of being counted.
Be that as it may it is certain that
the people in general do not take much
stock in contests. And where contests
are decided in favor of the party in
power, be it right or wrong it is usual
ly considered by the people more or
less Of steal.
Contests breed strife, build up party
hatred, divide the town, hurt business
and often weaken the party that gains
by them. So as long as the Reform party
has five of the eight aldermen and con-
trolls the ordinance making power ithas
lost nothing and NAV be the real gamer
by dropping an uncertain contest.
But on the real question at issue

will stand for no temporizing.
