During the early part of next month
tne Dig revenue cutter Androscoggin,
which mas been at Charleston Navy
Yard for several months undergoing re-
pairs. will return to Portland and re-
sumo the work assigned to her by the
revenue cutter service. When the An
droscogsin left here last fall it was
thought that she would be repaired in
time to return and cover the coast as
she did last winter but the work on
the hull and machinery has been more
extensive than expected with the re-
suit that the cutter has been detained
at the navy yard for about three
months.

 What an absolute failure. The little tots of today will be unable seventy-five years from now to get their names printed in the newspapers by reason of having seen the great comet as it passed between earth and sun in 1910.
 But that's because we are un fortunate. Way out in the Pa citic ocean, on the strands of the Hawaiian Islands, in the wilder ness of the Philippines the natives looked up at the hour of the event and saw the eclipse, and wondered if it was some new fangled ship of war the great American gOvet was send ing to protect their eastern pos sessions, or possibly in their ignorance they paid little more attention to it than they do the typhoons and cyclones anG other things coming at regular inter vals to that undesirable part of the world.
 But the worry is over, and all that is now left to do is to sit at evertide during the next two weeks and watch the strange visitor as it leaves our view to wander far away into the fur thermost depths of space to come around again in 1885, and cause more suicides and produce a great army of crazy folks again.

ASQU|TH WILL
DICTATE POLICY
Premier and His Followers Insist On
Dominating Situation Regardless
of Lloyd-George'S Demands.

LONDON. Feb. 10.-Indications OF 2
ieht for supremacy between the more
conservative Liberals, headed by
Premier Asduith. and the radical wing
led by Chancellor of the Exchequer
David Lloyd-George and Winston
Churchill. developed today at the first
meeting OF the cabinet since the re-
cent election.
The cabinet met to consider the per.
sonnet of the new cabinet, in which
t. is limited. there viii! be several new
faces, and TO map out legislative
program. No announcement has yet
been made as to the result of the de
alterations. but those in a position to
know declare that Asquith and his fol
lowers indicated their intention to
dictate the policy OF the incoming ad'
ministration regardless OF the de-
ntands of Lloyd George and his follow
ers, who are claiming credit for the
Liberal victory and are insisting on
a more drastic legislative program
than favored by the premier.
Unless these two leaders can come
TO an understanding, there is every
pI aspect of a stormy and shOrt-lived
parliamentary session. SO far the
radical faction has shown itself abso-
lutely unylelding. despite Asquith's
overtures.
'The biggest problem confronting the
cabinet is to keep the coalition of Lib
erals. Laborites and Irish Nationalist
intact. or practically so. and it is un.
derstood that an official appeal will
shortly be issued TO guard against any
reactionary movement In the ranks
OF the coalition.

WAYNE LEADS IN
GOOD ROAD WORK
Total of 522 Miles of Highways Are
Built in Four and a Half
Years.

LANSING, Mich. Feb. 1O.-(Spe-
cial)-A total OF 1881, 45o has been
expended by the state as rewards for
the construction of county roads
since the establishment of the state
highway commission In 1905. Advance
figures to be included in the annual
report Of the commission were given
out this morning by Commissioners
Ely. The commission states that d
total OF 522 miles of state road have
been built in the past four and a half
years.
Since July /. 1909. 100 miles have
been built, making total of nearly
400 In the entire past year The ma.
jority OF roads are constructed OF
macadam, the most expensive mater
ial. and the remainder are of stone
and gravel. The fact that this is 80,
is encouraging TO the commission and
proves that the counties are decided
ly in favor OF the best roads. Sixty
counties are on the state reward list.
The remaining counties have not yet
applied for the privilege but there are
numerous applications on file for the
building of new roads next summer
from these counties.
In the past fiscal year $116,604 has
been paid by the department in state
rewards. The average cost of build
ing one mile of macadan road is 49,
500; of gravel roads, $l,700. The
state reward for one mile of macadQm
road, is 81 900 For one mile OF stone
and gravel. $3.50 is paid, for one mile
OF gravel road, $500, and for one mile
OF a clay gravel road $3.50 Those
counties building the most roads I'M
der the state reward law are, Wayne.
Port Huron, township in st. Clair
county, Saginaw, Bay, Grand Tray
erse, Manistee, Mason Muskegon,
Oceana, Kalamazoo. and all through
the upper peninsula. In Kalamazoo
are being made to build
32 miles of state road in the coming
summer. In these counties the roads
are almost without exceptions con.
