CAPTAINS PAY POOR
Men Leave Sea to Take Land
Positions Where They Can
Make More

The merchant service is threatened d
with a serious problem. Numbers of
officers employed on transatlantic
liners and other large passenger vessels
are resigning their posts to take up
positions on land.
On the arrival Of one large vessel at
the London docks few days ago three
officers resigned their positions. As in
almost all the other cases Of resignation.
they did SO merely because they had
secured positions ashore.
New York especially provides field
for British officers of the merchant
service. who find there they can use
their knowledge to better advantage.
A man who has obtained a masters
certificate is usually qualified to take
up much better paid berth on land.
Salaries of mercantile marine officers
are, roughly, as follows:
Ocean liners-Captain, $1,000 to $1,000
per annum; chief officer. $50 to 800
a month; fourth officer, $40 to s45 a
month.
Small tramp-Skipper, $50 month !;
first mate, $40 a month; third mate. $50
a month.
at is, Of course. impossible to give
exact figures of salaries in the service, :"
said Captain E. w. Owen. the secre.
tary Of the local marine board. "In a
few cases the salary of captains is not
far short of $4,000 per annum. These,
however, are isolated cases. / do not
think officers are retiring because they
are dissatisfied with the service. but
simply because they see more scope on
land.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
IRR|CATING ITS LAND
Enormous Grants Have Been
Improved to Present Value
OF $15O,O0O,00O

Developments in connection with the
dividends paid by the Canadian Pacific
Railway from the profits derived from
its large land grant have brought into
notice the great values which that
company possesses in connection there.
with. 1t is not, however, generally
realized that the policy of the com
pany's management has been to active
ly improve its lands, and that ex-
penditures on large scale for irri-
CATION work have already been in
Cured by the company, aud that still
larger ones have either been COM
menced or are in active preparation.
About four years ago the railway com.
pany. through subsidiary organiza'
tion, put under irrigation about 400, 600
acres OF land at cost OF some s.. 900. 600.
and has since sold the block thus irri-
gated at price approximately close to
gel, ,000.0
1t is now engaged upon similar work
with reference to tracts Of some $780,
900 acres OF land in the Canadian
Northwest at cost OF around Sl2 800.
900, the completed projects to this end
embracing the construction Of no less
than 1900 miles Of canals and bitches.
with secondary distributing channels Of
proportionately large mileage.
IL In statad that M definite estimates
of the values thus rendered practically
marketable can be formed. but that
they rise to the neighborhood OF about
$3.50. 900. 900. Moreover. it seems that
the Canadian Pacific management is con.
fdent that even If the cost of these ex.
tensive projects runs upinto large sums,
the return therefrom will be emiuently
satisfactory. .-Bradstreet's.

A Winnemucca dispatch says it has
been discovered by recent surveys that
the towns of National and McDermitt
are located In the new Santa Rosa Ma.
tional Forest. recently created by
President Taft in Humboldt County.

will not interfere with mining in the

saloons will be eliminated from the two

AUTO RIPS OFF TROUSERS.
Takes Undsveiothins, Too. and
Broadway Crowd Laughs.

The strange experience of standing
on the steps Of a Broadway car and
gazing after disappearing automobile

ing his trousers and Undertaking fell
to Joseph Sinclair of No. 422 Amsterdam
avenue yesterday afternoon. 1t was
obvious Sinclair was embarrassed when
he found himself properly clothed from
shoulder to waist line, yet from his
waist to his shoes dressed as was his
forefather in the Garden of Eden. His
embarrassment was shared by passen-
gers in the car and persons in the street,
except those who laughed, and only
was relieved when the automobile re-
turned and the chauffeur gave Sinclair
blanket in which to wrap himself.
Sinclair was crossing Broadway at
SEVENTEEN street, when he found him.
self between an approaching car and an
automobile. To escape being hit he
swung himself on to the step of the car.
AS the automobile swept past there
was a rip of clothing, and Sinclair gazed
in wrath and establishment as his
trousers were transferred from his
body to the machine. Half the passen-
gers in the car were women, and Sin
clair dropped from his position on the
step in sudden fright.
When he met the gaze of persons in
the street the unhappy man lost his
nerve completely, and began jumping
up and down and shouting for help.
His predicament lasted only few min
utes, for the driver of the automobile
returned, gave Sinclair the blanket,
bundled him into the car and drove him
home. The chauffeur was John Moore

GAYNOR'S AUTO RUNS DOWN
WOMAN. -.
City's Chief Executive Was In
Machine on His Wsy to City
Hall

While o n his way back to the City
Hall this afternoon from his home, No.
20 Eighth avenue, the limousine in which
Mayor Gaynor was riding ran down a
young woman on Flatbush avenue. She
was knocked to the street, but was not
seriously injured She gave her name
as Miss Isabel H. Smith, but later at
the City Hall the mayor was unable to
say where she lived. The executive
continued on his way to New York on
foot in the driving snowstorm, while his
chauffeur took the young woman home.
Robert Adamson, the Mayors secre-
tary, said later that it had been ascer-
tanned the young woman was not badly
hurt.
The mayors car, one of the best
known in appearance in Brooklyn, was
coming down Flstbush avenue, and had
passed Seventh avenue, when the acct
dent occurred. There was a truck in
the way on the car tracks, and the
chauffeur, swerving to get past the
heavy wagon ran close to the gutter.
The young woman was in the street,
and was standing so that she could not
be seen until the car got around the
rear edge of the truck. The chauffeur
Immediately applied the brakes, but
the woman was knocked down.
The automobile came to a full stop a
few feet beyond, and the Mayor got
out and went back. He spoke to the
woman and found that she was not bad
ly injured. He then turned the use of
his automobile over to her and con-
tinued his way on foot to New York.
The young woman gave directions to
the chauffeur and was taken home.
Secretary Adamson, when telephoned
concerning the case, at 2:3O o'clock, at
first did not know anything about the
accident. AS he was talking, however,
the mayor came in from his long tramp
over the bridge, through the snow, and
confirmed the bare facts of the nara
tive. The mayor did not seem anxious
to talk about the case, but he said the
young woman was not injured in any
way and had been taken home by his
chauffeur. The accident occurred at
l 80 o'clock.
The mayor had been home to lunch
con and was returning at fair speed
when the accident occurred

The best hay feeds for dairy cows

The worlds champion milk COW pro-

prepared to repeat such performances
for many years, while the beef animal
must go to the block to produce cash
