Norwegian Load Line.

Norway has decided to follow the
example of England and adopt a load
line for her shipping. Subject to an
arrangement with the Norske Veri-
tas, law will come into force by
which stringent rules will be applied
to Norwegian shipping. Attention in
Norway has been directed to the sub
ject of shipping losses, which are
very heavy, and as no inconsiderable
proportion Of Norwegian shipping
sails about the world uninsured be-
cause uninsurable these losses have
been keenly felt Of late ysars.
The new merchant shipping act
stipulates that when a foreign shin
Is bought by Norwegian subject no
certificate of nationality shall be is
sued for the ship If built of wood, or
Of wood and iron (composite), and
more than twenty years old, or of
iron (steeD, and more than thirty
years old, unless classed Al if of
wood and Al if of iron in the Norske
Veritas or other surveying institu-

IL allowed to registry under these
conditions she will have to pass a
thorough survey before being al
lowed to proceed to sea. British
shipowners have long contended that
the Same regulations which are en-
forced on British ships should bs
equally enforced on foreign ships,
and in fairness the contention Is ir-
REPUTABLE.

more than 40 cents per cubic yard.
This makes the cost only 5000 per
mile were q full load Of gravel placed
on the crown of the road all the way.
"HoW about the after care Of such
road? Here is the secret of success.
When the first rain comes passing
teams and vehicles will puddle the ma
teriaI along the crown Of the road in
the beaten track, forming hard crust
as it dries, which will be somewhat
rough and uneven. Before it becomes
TOO dry and hard hone the surface
perfectly smooth and true with light
hone about five or six feet long. One
imam and team can hone off bunch Of
road in this way if he understands his
business at slight cost. He should
stand on the hone and guide it by
stepping from one end Of the hone to
the other as the occasion requires. This
is very inexpensive and should be re-
peated after every big rain, though it
will never soften much after the first
pudding. Now rake off any loose
stone, and you have beaten track on
the crown of the road, over which a
bicycle or an auto will roll as smoothly
as on the best macadam road and ON
which you can drive a clean buggy an
hour after a summer shower without
having to avoid mud holes. The only
other care needed ON such a road will
be to sprinkle very little good gravel,
shaIe or even hardpan right in the cen
ter Of the beaten track occasionally,
according to the amount of wear on
the road, and keep the cutters from
filling, throwing the stuff secured out
of them away from the road instead of
back into it.
What are the scientific principles in
vOlved? The beaten track on the
crown of the road is a hard crust al
most impervious to water, while the
soil beneath this crust and at the side
near the lower cutters is porous and
open. l cannot illustrate better than
by referring to a turtles back. Using
the hone frequently keeps the upper
surface of the crust so smooth that rain
flows quickly into the cutters at the
side, as it would from a turtles shell
Rain cannot saturate this crust from
the under side any more than it could
on the under side Of turtles shell.
If any happens to work it's way through
the crust of the beaten track it falls
away quickly through the more porous
soil beneath and into the cutters at the
side, just as rain would run from the
under side of the she'll to a turtles
back through the openings for his legs.
At any rate, the sample which was
built after this pattern and at this
cost has stood the test of a years serv
ce and Is still in almost perfect condi-
ion"

Fraser House Destroyed by Fire-one
Man Fatally Injured.

Bay City, Mich, Dec. 24.-The Fra
ser House, the oldest and largest hotel
In this city, was completely destroyed
by fire early Sunday. The flames were
discovered by the night clerk, who
aroused all the guests and inmates. 1t
is believed that no lives were lost.
John O'Neil, the hotel fireman, was
overcome by smoke and is probably
fatally injured.
Albert Brown, a guest of the hotel,
who was sleeping on the fourth floor,
had q narrow escape from death.
Finding escape by the stairway cut off,
he crawled out on a window ledge.
Before he could be reached with lad
ders his strength failed and he fell to
the electric light wires below. There
he chung until rescued by the firemen.
The hotel was erected in 1854, but
has been twice rebuilt. The loss is
upwards Of 10000 and is only partly
covered by insurance. G. B. Samplin-

FOUND GUILTY OF FRAUD.
Officers of Nebraska Land and Feed
ing Company Convicted.

Omaha, Neb, Dec. 21.-The trial in
the federal district court of Bartlett
Richards, president; Will G. Com
stock, vice president, and G. c. Jane
son, secretary-treasurer and general
manager of the Nebraska Land and
Feeding company, controlling the 400,-
000-acre Spade" ranch, and Aquilla
Triplett, their agent, ended Thursday
evening in the conviction of the four
defendants on SO counts of an indict-
ment which charged conspiracy to de-
fraud the government of public lands
and subornation of perjury. The jury
took but two hours to consider the
evidence.
The accusation against the officers
of the Nebraska Land and Feeding
company was that they attempted to
secure title to vast tracts of land
within the Spade" ranch enclosure in
Cherry, Sheridan and Box Butte coun-
ties, Nebraska, by means of fraudu-
lent homestead entries under the
Kinkaid law, which permitted the
homesteader to take up section of
land in the semi-arid districts.
