Neah Bay Plan Rejected.

Washington, d. C. = The War de-
partment sent to congress a report ad-
verse to the proposed construction of
a harbor or refuge at Neah Bay,
Wash. 1t was found that such a har-
Dor would cost s1,873, 907 and this
expenditure is believed not ivisable
at the present time. Engineers re-
port that Neah Bay is the best loca-
ton for harbor of refuge at the en-
trance to Puget sound and ultimately
should be constructed, but they do not
believe that such a large expenditure
is justified by the present commerce.

Big Steel Orders Placed.

New York-The principal features
of interest in the steel trade last week
were the release of large orders for
rails and bridges by railroads, an adj
vance of 81 ton in the price of wire
products, a revival in marine work
and signs of greater activity in struc-
tural contracts. The United States
government awarded contracts for 25,-
900 tons of armor plate for the battle
ships Nevada and Oklahoma. The
American Hawaiian steamship COM
pany is about to place orders for five

Land Office Issues Circular Limiting
Activities of Agents.


Washington, D. C. - Relief from
unwarranted activities by special
agents of the General Land office is
promised in new circular of instruc-
lions soon to be issued. Many entry
men on lands withdrawn as coal lands
have been complaining that after be-
ing induced to sign agreements for
limited patents. with the understand
ing the patent would issue without
delay, they have been informed their
patent would not issue until the land
had been examined.
Representative Mondell, author of
the law under which settlers may Sc
cure patent to surface of coal lands,
protested to the commissioner general
of the land Office. 1t was charged
that special agents were in many
cases using coercive methods to secure
signatures of settlers to agreements to
take limited patents.
The commissioner agreed to issue
new circulars warning the special
agents that this practice must cease,
and that when they have informed the
settler of his rights in the matter
their duty ends.

Steel corporation, surprised the Stan

Steel corporation and the Interna-

no business dealings with each other
for five or six years.
The information, coming on the eve
of a proposed congressional investiga-

which it will be sought to show as one
existing condition that the harvester
company and the Steel corporation had
interlocking directors and that the
latter gave rebates to the former on
steel, was doubly surprising.
Mr.. Farrell said that the harvester
company had a boycott on the Steel
corporation and that the trouble start
