MAY MAKE EARLY START.
Vessel Owners May Send Boats Out
Earlier Than Usual.

Some of the vessel owners on the
lower lakes are getting uneasy. with
the present exceptionally fine weather
and are talking of an early opening of
navigation. although only vessels whose
owners do not carry insurance will he
permitted to leave port before April 10.
without special permission from the
underwriters, says the Duluth News
Tribune. The work of fitting out sew
eral of the fleets is now under way
both at the lower lake ports and In
the local harbor. and other owners
have ordered their engineers to report
to their ships at once.
An early start is expected IL the
present fine weather continues. for the
ice has practically disappeared in all
of the lakes and rivers.
A conservative vessel man said yes
terday II hope the present warm
weather will not cause the vessel own
ers to become reckless and send their
ships out too soon. When I realize
that the warm weather of the past few
weeks has tendency to stir the own
ers to activity and get them keen TO
see the boats busy. it seems queer to
me that they forget weather condi-
tons from year to year and how the
unexpected sometimes happens. The
spring Of 1905 exemplifled this. for
while the weather looked favorable
early I'm the spring the boats that
started out met with continued and
severe punishment in the ice fields
this side Of the 500 that year"
The conditions however. are far diff
feront from those OF 1905. Reports
from all points on Lake Superior as
well as in the lower rivers and from
the lower lakes are to the effect that
there are practically no ice fields any
where.

parts OF the country. Miss Ehert's
subject will be THE Visiting Nurse,

expected that this paper will clear up
some wrong ideas which have been
conceived by some of the medical prac-

scope and purposes of the field work
Of the anti tuberculosis society and
also Of the nature of their proposed
