bone!

Si.so gallon for paint give 'em bonei

SOME BOAT NOTES.

Capt Arch Long, of steamer Poto-
mac, is sick at his home in Baltimore.
Supervising Inspector of Steam Yes
sells, John w. CAST, of Norfolk, states
thatunder the new law governing the in
spection service every power boat which
carries passengers for hire must have
a licensed engineer subject to the same
rules governing engineers of larger YES
sells and their licenses may be revoked.
Also that every owner or master of any
power launch around Norfolk who fails
to provide his craft with whistle will
be arrested by the United States Gus
tom house authorities.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor has issued circular addressed
to all maritime interests asking for an
expression as to the advisability of
changing the lights and signals on all
fishing vessels to conform to the Revised
International Rules for the Prevention
of Collisions at Sea which have
been adopted by Great Britain and
practically every other maritime nation
on the globe. The new rules purposed
are summed up thus: The new lights,
in brief, warn other vessels that on ac-
count of its gear in the water fishing
vessels are not fairly free to manoeuvre
and are thus entitled to special consid-
Grafton. Tha ordinary lights show that
fishing vessel is free" The adoption
of the revised rules will save hundreds
of small fishing vessels which are yearly
run down by heavier vessels while
trawling or at anchor.
TO REMOVE BARGE AT MONROE BAY.
Colonial Beach Progress,
The watermen of Colonial Beach, as
well as all others who ply the waters
of the Potomac, will be pleased to learn
that there is probability of having
the barge which has been lying at the
entrance of Monroe Bay for the last
thirteen years, removed. Hon. w.
Med. Lee, Chairman of the Board of
Fisheries, while on a recent visit to
this place, in a conversation with DIR.
F. F. Ninde, had his attention called to
the Importance of having the barge re-
moved from the mouth of the bay, and
Mr.. Lee said that he would take the
matter up with Senator Thos. S. Mar
tin, and see if he could not get the
Senator to take the matter up with the
government.
Senator Martin was communicated
with by Mr.. Lee and DR.. Ninde, and on
Tuesday Mr.. F. C. Warman, Chief of
Engineers of the War Department, ar
rived at the Beach to make an investi-
cation of the matter. He was taken
to Monroe Bay on the launch John
c. Brewington, accompanied by DIR.
Ninde and Mayor Walker, where they
were met by Capt. C. S. Rowley, an
experienced waterman, who located the
wreck for Mr.. Warman. Soundings
were taken of the channel, etc., and Mr..
Warman expressed the opinion that
the barge could be removed at a COM
paratively small cost, and that the mat
ter would probably be taken up at once.
Should this move be carried out it will
mean a great convenience to hundreds
of vessels who harbor here at all times
of the year, and especially during
dredging season.

READ NOVELS. BECAME ROBBERS,

Two Richmond boys, aged Is and II,
good family, went to Caroline and at
the point of pistol held up a merchant
and his brother, made them open the
safe and then looted safe and store.
They bound their prisoners and es-
capped.
The next day they surrendered to
several men who pursued them. The
boys are now in Jail awaiting trial for
highway robbery, while two mothers
are weeping their lives away.
The boys confessed to having made
up their minds to Ego on the road from
reading yellow novels.

By classifying the labels on its barrels
and tanks the Standard Oil Company
has been able to rob the consumers of
oil in Philadelphia of approximately
81, DOC, 600 per annum. The fraud was
simply in labelling oil as $50 proof which,
as matter of fact, did not run above
120, and was frequently as low as ITO.
1t is charged that the Standard practi-
cally subsidized the last oil inspector,
and was therefore given free hand to
label its oil as it saw fit.
What would it look like if every
state in the union and every country in
the world, or most of them, made ap-
preparations to provide for exhibit at
the jamestown Exposition and then the
different counties in the State failed to
send exhibits? We would be regarded
as precious lot of skinflints, and it
would be said that Virginia, who
foisted the exposition. was not half re-
presented, and had thrown the expense
of the undertaking. on foreign shoulders.

WHAT ABOUTIT?

i have read carefully what you had to
say about the jamestown exhibition and
sincerely hope to get an expression of
opinion from many of our leading
citizens on this important question, and
we would gladly do what people want
as far as the law will permit us to go
without burdening them with taxation.
We may not be able to lay levy
for the exposition in time but if it is
best we may borrow enough to help out
and put IN the next levy, as we had
already made the levy for 1906 before
we had this matter brought to our at
tention. Let us hear from our people

THE BOARD Is DULY GRATEFUL

The BOARD is DULY GRATEFUL.
We wish to call the attention of the
Virginia oystemen TO their excellent
Board of Fisheries. We are constantly
hearing reports of their good work ali
over tidewater in lettering the condi-
lions for the honest oyster culturer. We
are heartily glad that we have a set of
men who viii attend to the business
with which the taxpaying oystermen
have entrusted them. May their shadow
never grow.less as it falls upon the evil
doer in the Virginia oyster world. The
Oysterman, Chincoteague Island.
The Board in its effort to enforce
existing laws has met with much
uphill work. Particularly has this
been the case before juries and magis-
trates. But We are glad to note that
public sentiment is veering to such
extent that even the civil officers and
courts are being affected by the
change. The greatest incentive to
better law enforcement, however, has
been the cooperation of good citizens
aud public-spirited men in Tidewater,
reinforced by the admirable support
given the work by the press of the
State, the foregoing being fair
sample of Tidewater endorsements.
