If necessary. On the voyage from
Plymouth the little steamer jogged
along at a 9.03 gait. The Selma came
by way of the straits of Magellan and
on it's 14,500 mile voyage encountered a
number of heavy gales through all of

The living quarters on the Selma are
well arranged and wonderfully roomv

LAURIUM COUNCIL
TO MEET TUESDAY
YEAR THAT is DRAWING TO A
CLOSE HAS SEEN MANY I'M
PRovEMENTs - ELECTION
TALK STARTS.

The first regular meeting of the
Laurium council for the new year will
be held next Tuesday evening and IL
is not expected that any important
business other than routine matters
will come up for consideration. The
brought to a close at this time.
OF the bonded Indebtedness of the
village, $l4,450 will have been re-
tired this year when the books are
closed Two of the bonds, each for
$1,000, have been retired so far this
month, but there remains $1,000 in
interest which will be paid from the
sinking fund of the village. The in
debtedness for next year is somewhat
higher than for this year, the total
including bonds and interest amount
ing To $1,000. The bonds for next
year are the highest for any of the
succeeding years and after they az
paid, the amounts for each year VIII
show a gradual decrease. The 10 al
bonded Indebtedness of the village re-
which various amounts will be Ie-
tired each year until 1925, when the
final payment will be made.
Other Indebtedness.
In addition to the bonded indebted
ness, the village has obligations on
short time paper amounting to ap-
proximately $4,000, most of which has
been standing since before the present
administration took hold of the village
affairs. The pressure of improvement
work has made it impossible to retire
any of this amount during the last
few years. and it is possible that the
village will not attempt anything fur
Their until the notes for the above
amounts have been met.
Clerk Martin Prsk expects soon to
commence work on the annual report
Of the village which will be issued dur
ing the latter part of February. The
fiscal year of the village runs from
February 20 to February 20, and the
report will be issued after that date.
The report will probably show the
village to be in a much better condi-
ton than the last report issued.
The annual report of the fire de-
partment will probably be issued some
time during February. This report
should be a very excellent one as
there have been no disastrous connag-,
rations since the first of this year.
Improvement Work.
The year which is drawing to a close
has been a very satisfactory one from
the standpoint of improvements
brought about. Considerable work
has been undertaken and completed
and as most of it has been under
the direction of the village employees,
the cost has been much less than
would have been the case had the
work been done by contract. The
street improvements and extensions Of
the water mains, as well as the in
stallation of large number of meters
have proved the principal part of the
work done this year.
There remains a large amount of

must undertake during the next few
years, the most important of which is
the proposed extension of the sewer
system so that IT will be more sani-
tary. If this work is done, it will be
necessary 10 bond the village for fur
ther amounts, and the question prob
ably win be submitted 10 the electors

Election Talk Starts.
Already there is considerable talk
throughout the village relative 10 the
coming village election. The terms
OF four Of the councilmen will be va
cant next spring and a lively fight is
promised. The terms of Trustees Nc
Leod, Holmstrom and Bastian expire
and as Trustee Rastello fills that Of
flee by appointment TO the seat left
vacant by the resignation of Vincent
Vairo, ii will be necessary to elect a
trustee for this position. according to
the village ordinances. IL is believed
that Trustees Mcleod. Holmstrom and
Rastello may be prevailed upon to
run again. Several other candidates
have been mentioned for the positions
which will be vacated and it is ex-
pected that the fight will center around
them. No opposition has been men
toned SO far TO President w. j. Rey-
nolds, Clerk Martin Prisk or Treasur-
er Michael Jearling. This being the
first term of the latter it is expected
he will be reelected.

FROZEN WATER PIPES.

Considerable trouble with frozen
water pipes is being experienced in the
village of Laurium, due largely to
carelessness on part Of consumers. In
several cases recently, tenants have
left houses without draining the water
pipes and as a result the meters, each
of which costs $40. have been destroy
ed, and extensive plumbing bills have
been necessitated. Village inspector
Stetter states that little attention
would avoid this trouble.

KING AS YACHTSMAN.
British Sportsmen Hoping He viii
Follow Fathers Example.
Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence or The star.
LONDON. June -. 1910
Those whose livelihood depends in
fashion on yachting. as well as those
who wish to see the sport maintained for
national purposes. earnestly hope that
the king will follow eventually in the
footsteps of his father, whose generous
patronage for about seven years from
1895 made yachting the pre-eminent sum-
mer craze with society. There is no
doubt that just now very little interest
is being taken in yachting, and this looks
like being one Of the worst seasons for
many years.
Motoring has dealt yachting a cruel
blow Few of the larger yachts afioat
on this side are now owned 10y British
subjects, but belong in most cases 10
American miIlionaires. Even the smaller
craft, like the red wings" Oheir usual
working crew a couple of amateursl,
which a few years ago used to be SO
numerous in the Solent. are now much
less in evidence.
