oLYMPlC'S HULL REBUILT.
White Star Compsny's Liner Is Now
Pronounced UnsInksbIc.

Belfast, Ireland, Feb. 27.--When the
White Star liner olympic leaves Bel
fast on March - for southampton to
get ready 10 sail for New York ON
April :, she Will in many respects be
a new ship. Since November the 40.
600 ton liner has been in the dry dock
in Harland q VOLTS shipyard being
iltted with an inner hull and throughly
overhauled from truck to keel
More than $500, 900. it is estimated.
has been expended in reConstructing
the hull to make the ship as far as
engineering skill eau go. unsinkable
The new work consists of the ex-
tension of the original double bottom
of the Olympic upward to a point well
above the water line, thus furnishing
an interior skin of solid steel and
forming hun within a hull, so that
the olympic is now described as two
ships in one"
The White star line has installed
additional watertight bulkheads
throughout the hull, several of them
being carried up to the floor of the L
u''N' lot'S rect dboNe lnc Wdtcfllne.
The effect of these additions, the
engineers say. will bc to increase To-
the utmost the "llotation capacity" of
the Olympic's hull and at the same
time enhance the margin of safety far
beyond all previously recognized
standards
Shipbulders have severed steamer
in the past aud have i'm
serted another portion, making the
snip of greater length.
but nothing has ever been done be-
ore in constructing an additional
skin within hull. The magnitude
,f the undertaking can be understood
When it is realized that the length of |
he hull is SS2iA feet

DIS
CUSS ECONOMY
Would Abolish Probation Officer
State Immigration CommiOner,
To Go Also

Practically every precinct in
Canyon county was represented at
taxpayers meeting held at Cald-
well last week to talk over with
the county commissioners express
ways and means for curtailing the
expenses and reducing the taxes
of the county"
The most discussed step in be-
half of county economy was appar-
emily the elimination of the proba-
tion officer. 1t was suggested that
the duties of that office could be
turned over to the sheriff and the
county superintendent, by which
action it was alleged that the tax
payers would be saved $4,000 per
year Another suggestion was that
one member of each school board
oe appointed truant officer for
his district with authority to en-
force the compulsory education law
plan followed in Nebraska
Other measures of economy s.
cussed were the adjustment of the
state immigration bureau and a new
law by which each political par
ty would have to stand the ex-
pense of conducting its own pri-
mary. The primaries in Canyon
county in connection with the .ast
general election cost the state about.
s4500.
Two committees were appoint
by the taxpayers, one to cont
with the probate judge and
county commissioners regarding
of the proba ion Of
flee, and the other to draft resoiu-
tions to be placed before the legis-
lature with reference to the abolish
nent of the immigration bureau, re
orms in the present primary sys-
tenn and other legislation which it
was believed would work to a
reduction in taxes.
