GOOD TINES BACK AT SEA.
Every Prospect Pleases Samaritans
and Shipping Sages in Six

New York, April 4.-That the end
of hard times for the sailor is al
ready in sight at every American
port was asserted here to-day on the
basis of special reports which have
Just been received at the headquar-
tiers of the American Seamen's
Friend Society from it's sixteen
branch stations along the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. Where month
ago stranded seamen lay thick over
floors of their shelters each night
sadly wanting work, food and lodg-
ing, berths are to-day being found
in steadily increasing numbers
among awakening shipping inter-
ests, the society'S agents declare.
Every prospect exists, in the opinion
of these trained maritime observers,
for returning prosperity to the sail
or man who has Barely weathered
his hardest winter in many years.
From Seattle. where the workers
of the society have resorted to emer-
gency relief measures to keep 400
idle sailors alive since last Novem-
Der, it is reported that the tension
has already begun to slacken in view
of the opening of brisk Alaska
trade. Relief camps and lunch count
ers have been filled by these re-
fugees from stagnant shipping at
this port all winter Now signs of
returning life in the seamen's trade
are at last promising to put an end
to their labors, the agents at this
Pacific branch declare.
In Pensacola, at a diagonally OPP
posite corner of the society's nation
all system of working stations, only
twenty sailors are to-day reported
to be still looking for work. Within
a week every man jack should be
shipped, according to present indi-
cations. From Jacksonville, Tampa,
Mobile and New Orleans a small
army of sailors have poured into
Pensacola looking for a chance to
ship all winter. Many of them walk
ed barefoot and arrived half starry,
ing and in rags. This sad influx of
unemployed seamen has completely
stopped, the local agent of the soci-
ETY. reports, and apparently his hard
siege of providing food, shelter and

help for the marooned merchantmen
OF the southern ports is happily end
ed
Only two-score seafaring men are
today looking for work at Galveston
and few Of these Will be lacking a
berth by the end of spring From
New Orleans about the same report
has been received. The branch Of the
American Seamens Friend Society
at Newport News sends the word:
prospects good have been bad all
winter The same message, with de-
tails of the heroic measures which
had to be taken to tide the sailor
through the winter is coming from
other branches of this organization
in Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah,
Port Townsend and Portland
While every seaman's shelter in
this city has throughout the winter
been crowded with the unemployed,
it was declared by the shipping Of
fees, 'crimps, and officers of the
sailors labor organization here to-
day that conditions We're beginning
to change and new berths open for
the sailor along the water front,
With the opening of the lake trade
the Watching season and the steady
enllvenment in shipping circles every
man of the sea is to be assured of
plenty of work At the headquarters
of the American Seamen's Friend
Society in this city it was asserted
on experience as we'll as these re-
ports, from both coasts, that hard
times for the sailor had to-day, come
to an end.
81 am inclined to believe that the
summer shipping will again return
to normal, said Captain Charles B.
Parsons, eX-president of the Mari
time Exchange and trustee of the
American Seamen's Friend Society,
today.,"I feel very optimistic on the
outlook for the immediate future in
shipping circles.

Appraiser Show.

New York, April 4.-Heayy fall
ing off in importation of luxuries
during the month of March is repor-
ted by Appraiser George w. Wanna
maker, of the port of New York The
total value of automobiles imported
during the month was S127,9 SAG, a
scant third of automobile importa-

The Ellis County Independent
Telephone Company comprises the
exchanges at Ennis and Waxahachie
and toll lines between WaXahachie
and Hillsboro.
This is one of the best telephone
systems in the state of Texas. The
| construction was done by practical
| telephone construction men and the
very best material that the market
afforded was used throughout. The
retiring stock holders have extensive
telephone interests throughout the
country, but this being so far re-
moved from their other properties
they foresaw the advisability of hav-
ing local capital interested and in
control.
The company now and has always
been on a sound financial basis and
their obligations have always been
met properly. The late Tony Schafer,
who was for the first three years the
efficient general manager, succeeded
in establishing the high class service
that is now duly recognized. The re-
firing secretary, Mr.. A. E. Schaffer,
takes this occasion to thank the
many friends and patrons of the
company who have always given
such loyal support to the cause of
independent telephony.
1t is the intention of the new man
agement to place a part of the stock
in Waxahachie.
The gentlemen composing the di-
rectorate are well known local bust
ness men and their individual per-
sonality is a guarantee of satisfac-
tory relations between the company
and the public. The Independent has
been quite satisfactory in Ennis. The
service is good, their system is mod
ern, the operating force is courte-
j Gus and polite and Mr.. Gould, the
efficient manager, takes pride in Civ
| ing the most perfect service possible.
! The Independent is good property
and it is understood that consider
able Improvements and extensions
are to be made.-Ennis Daily News,
April 2. 1908.
Members of the new organization
will be in WaXahachie in few days
to interest business men of the city
in the matter of taking some stock
in the enterprise, Heavy investments
have been made both in WaXahachie
and Ennis and it is desired to place
as much of the new stock as possible

tenn gives splendid service and it
