The most important letter read during
the morning session was one written by
Havemeyer to j. T. Witherspoon. his
New Orleans representative, on January
S, 1906, at a time when the California =
Hawaiian company was about to re-
sumo operations, II informed Wither-

According to the basis Of representation

entitled to 125 delegates to thc Provo

County Committee.

convention prescrlbes formula for reg

Moreover, last nights meeting adopted
a platform, the planks OF which are
hewn from the very heart of the trees
the mooses love best. OF course the
resolutions have something TO say about
"the predatory interests" and make II
known that these terrible beasts mar
shalled their forces In a twilight zone.
The resolution also demands Of the state
convention that a complete state ticket
be placed in the field, and that there be
a full county ticket in this county.
On the Band Wagon.
Last nights mass convention was
opened In Main street by a band. Evil

who said he didn't intend 10 make

According 10 information from Mo.

holders Of the Mobile West Shore
Traction Company held special
meeting In that city On Wednesday
and voted $1,000 900 in bonds for the
purpose Of constructing the line from
Mobile to Pascagoula The details OF
the bond Issue, the denomination,
etc, we're left to the board OF direc-
tors for arrangement, although the
suggestion was made that they be 5
per cent gold bonds, payable twenty
years after date OF issue.
An encouraging feature OF the news
from Mobile is the statement that
several bond handling companies
have signifled desire TO take up the
proposed Issue. One Of the largest
bond companies in the country, it is
stated has made flat proposition TO
the company TO take over the bond
Issue, thereby insnring the needed
money promptly. 1t is expected that
work will be begun during the sum-

SCARCITY OF VESSELS
Many cargoes Awaiting Ships

Being Held Up.

Entrances and clearances OF vessels
through the customs house at this
port are showing decided slump. 1t
is stated that numerous cargoes are
being held up ready for shipment
simply because the vessels are not
available for use 10 the trade. The
conditions are so unusual that en-
Quiry has been made to ascertain the
causes therefor.
According to statement made, the
supply Of vessels appears to be lin
tied at this time of the year, the re-

larger returns than the straight
trade from the coast where return
cargoes are not numerous. 1t Is
stated that local shippers have been,

Kingston and elsewhere, but they are
unable to secure the vessels.
How long the present conditions
may be expected to continue Is
problem, 1t is stated, for vessels will

OIL INTEREST REVIVED
BiltIess Turpentine Company En-
counters Oil In Water Well
At Shallow Depth.

Interest in the oil field prospects of
the port territory was revived 10 an
unexpected manner during the past
week when the Biltless Turpentine
Company found oil at a depth Of lib
feet, while drilling for a water supply
at its still near Lame, east OF this
city. Manager McWhite found the
water SO impregnated with foreign
substance that he turned some OF it
over TO the chemist OF the Southern
Paper Company with request that
it be tested. The report made to Mr..
McWhite during the week was that
the small sample shown contained
one sixth OF one per cent of crude
oil.
The water has been collect ed in va
rious samples by other residents OF
the port territory and sent to other
points for inspection and analysis.
The unexpected development OF the
fact that this well produced such
strong indications Of the presence OF
oil ia the immediate territory where
the Pascagoula Development Com
pany made its first tests, caused re-
vival Of the interest In the possibili-
ties of the oil field as a whole.
According to statement coming
from Lame the first Of the week,
there is some discussion that indi-
Gates that another well will be sunk
at that point in an endeavor to bring
in the crude oil in paying quantities.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR
PLAN IN CONFERENCE
RADICAL CHANGES SUGGESTED
TO MAKE MONTHS EQUAL.
Scheme Advanced Calls For One
Extra Month In Each Year And
One Day To Be Known Only
As New Years Day.

From time to time various sugges-
lions have been advanced IN connec.
tion with Encouragement OF the
calendar, the main object being to
equalize the months. The things to
be taken into consideration in max.
ing such Encouragement, however.
are SO numerous and important that
no success has ever been attained
heretofore. A conference is planned
for Geneva during the summer, how
ever, that promises some result.
This suggested change 10 the calen-
dar Is OF more than passing interest
locally, however, because Maj. Fred
Hess, the astronomer on the beach,
has frequently advocated calendar
that appears to have real merit. This
suggestion was made to congress
many years ago. but. like many other
ideas, that appeared too greatly ad-
vanced at the time, was allowed TO
die In the committee room. Whether
the plan advanced for the Geneva
conference Is closely allied or akin 10
the calendar suggested by Major Hess.
OF course is not yet known.

the proposed conference on the per
petual calendar. says

The additional month is called So

July.
AS an illustration, the year 1916 Is
used because, according to the pres
ent calendar, the first day OF that
year will begin on Saturday which
would become New Years day under
The perpetual calendar. That would
make the following day, Sunday, be
known as January /, 1916.
Every month would have the same
number of days and every month and
every week would begin on Sunday
and end on Saturday. That would
make the same date in each month
fall on the same day of the week.
Such perpetual calendar would
make it unnecessary to have printed
for each month, because the
days OF each month are identical with
those of the first. One of the bene-
fits expected to result from perpet-
ual calendar is that it will facilitate
business calculations. Under the new
system month would mean exactly
% days and not 30 or 81 days as at
present.
