months of June and July when other wise they would have been closed. for the sole purpose of cooperating with the navy. They rendered aid Of great importance by advising the Navy depart ment of the movements of government vessels by means of the service tele- nhones. It was the life saving service which first reported the arrival of the be ettleship Oregon from its journey rom San Francisco to the eastern coast.

McVeaeh states that the foregoing would seem to Justity ,he grant by Congress of the same rates and conditions of retirement that are al lowed to the army and the navy anu the revenue cutter service, and ought to dIsneI in the minds of the opponents of the general apprehension that the pas sage of such a bill could be cited as a nrecedent for such extension.

LIFE SAVING SERVICE
 MAY BE REORGANIZED
Fly JONATHAN WINFIELD

ment in this direction in our countfy is
 unmistakable. as shown by the action of
 our great universities, our principal mu-
 nicipalities and many of our, large cor
 porations. So generally is this course
 being adopted by our best managed rail- roads and other progressive and powerful
 corporations, that the conclusion seems Irresistible that it has not been dictated
 by consideratiqn of humanity alone. but is regarded as sound economic and bus mess policy. ts A record of events has shown that sim liar measures have been introduced in Congress during the last % years. In 1888 a bill granting pensions to certain officers
 and enlisted men of the life saving ser Twice was unanimously reported from the committee on pensions of the House. as was one several years later but neither measure reached vote. A contention hitherto advancedeby some members of Congress in opposition to such a measure is that the granting of retirement pensions to the life saving service would operate as an entering wedge in the creation Of a pension list for the benht of the civil employees of the government generally, and their opposi- ton to the admission of this principle finally resulted In the reporting and pas sage of a bill increasing the compensa- ton of the field force of the service.
 According to carefully computed table Secretary Macveagh shows that the in- creased cost of maintaining the service by the enactment Of retirement bill based on the present actual force of the serivce would be. for the retirement feature alone sl73,OO0, and for the longev- l. ity increase of pay $24S,7 700 per annum
 Under the provisions of a congressional act of May 1. 1882 Secretary Macveagll says th4 life saving service made strictly
 a .non-partisan service. By reason of this

Washington, May IA. Especial )--With
 the reorganization of the various branches of the treasury department announce ment is to be made shortly of a com .plete reorganization of the live saving
 service. Not only does Secretary Mac Veagh of the treasury consider that this service is a most important one, but. he has taken steps for it's improvement. He has drafted a bill to be introduced in Congress which, if passed, will place the service on pension basis The bill con templates two propositions: First, to create a retired list for superintendents of life saving districts, keepers of life saving stations and members of life saw ing crews. constituting the field force of the service; and. second, to provide a graduated scale of. increase in salaries for the same officers and men, based on length of service. e
 In speaking of the subject, MT. Mac Veagh said: ''I think some such provis- ion is indispensable; to q thoroughly eff cient service because of the reluctance of superior officers to deprive of their means of support worthy subordinates who have expended the best years of their lives in the faithful service of the government. Justice both to the em- ployes who have become incapacitated in it. Our nation. notwithstanding its re- puted great wealth and liberality in ex- penditures, is the only one of the lead ing nations of the world that has not made some provision Of this kind for erl- ployes whoh ave become incapacitated in

in the southern Appalachian mountains.
 The bark alone is used for the distilla-
 ton of the oil and it Is essential that 1t
 be green, for if it is allowed to dry out
 before distilling 1t becomes worthless for
 the production of oil. The barks is stripped from the trunks and stumps, and the longer limbs, but the twigs and the bark of the smaller limbs are not used. The bark is brought to the dlstiller and put on the. fioor around
 which there is a narrow strip of lumber forming a shallow box. Here it is clipped up fine with axes, ready for dis tiiling. The distillery consists of a floor
 on which the bark is clipped and one or.
 more vats or stills with their condensers.
 and these are roofed over with a frame work of poles covered with bark. This serves to protect the birch bark from the
 drying sun and the fires from the rain. as well as shielding the workers from | the weather.
 The stills are three feet wide by four | feet long and three deep. They are con | structed of wood with iron bottoms and steam-tight tops that can be removed | The still is placed in a position on two parallel rows of flat rocks. one under each side of the box. leaving a space | underneath to place the fire. The smoke escapes through low rock chimney or pipe at the rear.
 Inside the box and about four inches above the iron bottom is grating
 placed about one inch apart. Under this grating water is boiled by a fire placed
 on the ground under the iron bottom and the clipped bark rests on the grating lrhe grating thus keeps the bark out of the water. and the steam alone as it
 rises through the still filled with bark | extracts the oil.
 The condenser consists of straight | non pipe which is laid in trough through which the water from a brook | s detlected The condensed water and | oil is collected in glass jar the mouth
 Of which is covered with cloth through which the oil and water are strained. | The oil sinks to the bottom of the jar: | the smoky water as it overflows returns l by another pipe to the bottom of the l still and Is boiled over again and keeps
 up the necessary supply of water for
 the distillatton.

fact is definitely removed from the field of political patronage and the duties of It's employees, being of an unusually ar duous and dangerous nature, the service was naturally the first to suggest itself to the public mind as deserving of pen sion for it's disabled and superannuated members.
 Data on file at the treasury depart ment shows that the dangerous nature of the service. risk of death. injury and dis ease incurred by the life-saver, is not less than that of the United States soldier or sailor. While the life-saver is in much less danger in time of actual war, he Is more so in time of peace. Extra hazard is incurred by the soldier and sailor only at Intervals of many years. while the perls of the life-saver run through the entire period of peace as well as war. Every enlistment of the life-saver is en- tered with the uncertainty of exposure to extraordinary danger, while the vast majority of those who enlist in the army or navy do so with scarcely a prospect of mourning the dangers of war service.
 In his recommendations to United States Senator Frye. who is to introduce the bill in the Senate, MT. MacVeagh says in part '"rhe life savers habtudes ard course of life are very similar to those of the soldier and sailor. He is enlisted for a specified term of service after a rigid physical examination, to which is added & professional one not required of either the soldier or the sailor, is subject to rigid discipline, to constant guard duty, and the perform ance of daily drills and, when occasion requires to do battle. The nightly patrol, involving long difficult and wearisome marches in all conditions of weather, is one of especial hardships and exposure which finds no parellel.
 'In time of war the life saving stations aie admirably adapted for military out posts or pckets. This fact was so ap- parent at the outbreak of the Spanish American war that, upon the request anc recommendation of the Secretary ot tre Navy, Congress passed special act directing that the stations upon the At lantc and Gulf coast be kept open and

The wastefulneSS of taxes collected
from the people under the tariff laws
is not one of the least vicious features
of protection.
American customs duties have
necessitated a gigantic army of Off
Gals, have increased the price of ev-
erything and have added enormously
to the expenses of the government.
The country is divided into 100 dis
tricts and ports for the collection of
duties. OF these the expenses in
forty are greater than the receipts,
the cost of collection ranging, for ev-
cry dollar collected, from Sl.5S to
1909. Al. .
In the Alexandria, Va, district, the
government spent $l,224 to collect
$40.
In the Annapolis, Md, district, it
cost S95O to collect S3.O9.
In the St. Mary's, Ga, district, it
cost 1893 to collect Sl5.25.
In the Coos Bay, Ore, district, it
cost 81, 464 to collect 1881.
And this years report of the secre-
tary of the treasury is not as bad as
last years, which showed that in one
instance the government had paid
two men 81, 100 to collect 60 cents.
