structure lie left the city yesterday
to 20 to Pennsylvania and said Sc

until he consulted his associates, but
it had been finally decided to erect a
hotel here.
The hotel is one of several which
will be erected in the medium sized
Of West Virginia and Pennsylvania,

Mr. Webster said all OF the hotels
would have from 300 to 500 rooms at
a minimum cost of SOC per room.
They would be equipped with all mod

long distance telephones, cal lsergice,

run on the American plan.
Hotels have been decided upon at
Fairmont, Keyser, here in Martins
burg and in several of Pennsylvania
mailer cities. Mr.. Webster said that
there will be at least a score or more
of these hotels, and that they will be
run upon a scale Of such magnitude
that the company operating them will
be able to purchase supplies in very
large quantities

new VOLCANO

Rushing eXcitedly into the Office OF
Purser Phillips. on the last trip OF the
Inter-Island flagship Marna Kea from
Hilo to Honolulu, tourist lost no
time in summoning the genial steam
ship man TO the ships side, where ex.
tending a finger in the direction of
the Hamakua coast, declared that a
fresh outbreak in newly discovered
volcano was in progress
Phillips gazed at column of white
smoke internationally putting from a
small cone like elevation, and there
upon began to wonder if something
unusual was really happening on the
Big Island.
To all appearances, the spectacle
savored of small eruptiye volcano,
or the opening of large steam fis-
sure along the side of one of Hawaii's
high mountains.
A glass was conferred upon the spot,
while the muchly perturbed traveller
hailed others to witness the "erup-
ton"
The Mauna Kea's purser, soon laid
down the glass, turned lose one of
those cherubic smiles for which he is
famous and then invited the speeta-
tors to take another pehD.
The mysterious election of smoke
or steam was easily explained. Plan
tation laborers were busy in the dis
tribution of lime The material is
used in the fertilization of fields and
was being distributed by means of
force pump that sent clouds of the
white powder to considerable dis
lance in the air.
The more or less regular display
proved realistic in the extreme how
ever.

The Presidents Problem

What President Wilson is finding
|out is that it is one thing to sit down
in the quiet of an academic study and
decide what tariff rates ought to be,
but quite another thing to persuade
.529 representatives of 100,000,009 peo-
pile spread over a continent, with all
their diversity of resources, industries
and interests; to accept the tariff
rates so determined. That is the prob
lem before President Wilson, and he
is having his troubles in solving it.
The really surprising feature of the
situation is Mr.. Wilson'S apparent i'm
preston that he could avoid these
troubles.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

NIAGARA Brings
Renaissance
VIII VII

Tne new Niagara, the latest addi-
ton TO the ian-Australasian
neet OF trans-Paciiic steamships. to
arrive at Honolulu on a maiden voy-
age from Sydney, y. S. w, by the
way Of Auckland and Suva on We'd
nesday, has awakened memories of
the past performance of vessels be-
longing 10 the service.
Twenty years ago the preliminary
arrangements were completed for the
establishment of the line between
British Columbia and the colonies
In looking back over the history of
the Canadian-Australasi line for the
past two decades, an official at that
time was quoted as saying:
The two pioneer steamers to be
put on this line are the Miowera and
Warrimoo. These are comparatively
new boats of about 5000 tons. They
are fast steamers, the average speed
being is knots an hour
AT present the service will be
monthly, but, if the trade warrants il,
extra boats will be put on"
The tonnage of the Makira is 500
and her speed IS knots, that of the
Mariana $500 and her speed 16 knots.
The Niagara is much larger than
either and splendidly equipped. The
Miowera and the Warrimoo had ac-
cornmodation for 125 cabin passen-
gers; the Makura, Mariana and Mag
ara have accommodation individually
for anything between $50 and $50
cabin passengers.

Liozo, Japanese stevedore, who was
instantly killed while at work in the

Old Glory Charges Offenders.

Redfield is in receipt of a report from
the Bureau of Navigation showing the
results accomplished in enforcing the
motor boat and other navigation laws
through the work of the motor boat
Tarragon from the time of its going
into commission on July /. 1912, up To
March Is last. Notwithstanding the
fact that practically three months
were lost in repairing and refitting the
Tarragon for her winters work, 1905
miles we're travelled, 1,672 vessels
oyerhauled, and 495 violations of the
navigation laws reported.
This work was instituted IN Dccem-
Der, 1911, when, owing to continued
complaints of shanghaiing and ill
treatmentso of and poor quarters fur
nished crews in the oyster fleet of
Chesapeake Bay, the department hired
the motor boat Old Glory and placed
IL in charge of Mr. A. Lincoln Dryden,
who, in a very short time, succeeded
in improving greatly the conditions
complained of. This led to the pur-
chase by the department of the Tar
ragon in June, 1912, and Mr.. Dryden
was appointed as navigation officer in
charge
The Improvement OF conditions in
the oyster feet is but a small part of
the work of the Tarragon. The gen.
eral lack of life-saving equipment on
motor boats in southern waters is
gradually being corrected. The Tar
ragon is now in North Carolina wa
tiers, and reports indicate that new
life preservers can be seen on almost
every boat as the result of the en-
forcement of the law
1t is estimated that there are about
100000 motor boats under Federal su-
pervision in the United States and,
estimating but two persons TO the
boat, a minimum of 100000 persons
are being safeguarded, not for single
trips of a few days duration but con-
stantly during the entire navigation
season. Undoubtedly the loss of life
on motor boats has decreased consid-
erably since this work was inaugural
ed.
Niagara as an Oil Burner.
Word has been received here that
the new Canadian-AustraIian liner
Niagara, due here on May II on her
maiden voyage, when she takes her
place on the Pacific run, will be fitted
out as an oil burner Owing to the
scarcity of oil fuel in England, it is
stated the Niagara is making her voy-
age outward with coal fuel. Sir James
Mills, president of the company, is
responsible for the statement that the
steamer will be fitted out as an oil
burner at Vancouver on her arrival
there.

ran down TO the islands as the skip

old American clipper ship long since |

bottom of the sea. is reported to have |
