departments by exchange with clerks
who wanted to leave Washington and
were favorable to a transfer to a post
office of their preference.
The transfers are not looked upon as a
reflection upon the efficiency OF the
clerks and each will be given the same
chance as the others to secure salts
factory berth, preferably in the country
from which they originally came No
body need lose his place unless he wants
to, said Mr.. Roper, although 1t is al.
mitted their annual leave of absence will
be reduced one-half.
Many of .khe clerks it is said, have lived
a long time in Washington and their
home connections in other states nave
been absolutely destroyed. To these, II
is said, the transfer comes with some
degree of hardship. especially to old
clerks who have been practically pen
stoned In the dead letter office because of
the infirmity of age and their inability
to keep up with the procession of the
younger blood coming into the service
Postmaster General Burleson's aim, 1t
is claimed, has been to be benevolent,
even though the exigencies of the serv-
ice REQUIRED the change that has been
made, and it Is said to be his desire to
see every one of the former dead letter
office clerks contentedly placed.

OLD SCHOONER IS DOOMED.
George S. Richardson Will Be Torn
Up for Metal in Vessel.

After forty-seven years of good service
on Chesapeake bay and its tributaries in

to give up the ghost. Friday her papers
were surrendered to the customs officials
at Baltimore and the old vessel will be

The Richardson was launched at Snow
HILL Md, in 1856, and when first built
was considered one of the handsomest
sailing craft on the bay. She had
reputation for quick trips and a run from
Norfolk to Baltimore in twenty-four
hours is said to have been made by her
several times. She registered seventy
two gross and sixty-eight net tons and
was 77.S feet long, 23.7 feet beam and SIX
feet deep in the hold.

TOO MUCH WATER SHIPPED.
Food Products Garry Unnecessary
Moisture, Experts Say.

Attention is called by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to what its ex-
perts declare is a very wastefuI prac-
tice in America of shipping an excess
sive amount of water in various food
products, especially corn and potatoes
These authorities declare that there is
enough surplus water shipped with
the corn crop each year to fill freight
train lilo miles long. This, it is said
is not only wasteful in adding to the
cost of the corn. but makes a short
age of cars in the crop-moving sea

and the consequent price paid the pro
Queer for IL.
In the case of potatoes the waste is
said TO be even larger. as the water
content is higher, averaging 20 per
cent. 1t is stated that in Germany
the practice prevails of drying pota,
toes, especially the inferior ones, and
shipping them for stock feed.

BURLESON'S new ORDER
RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIFT
Great Saving Will Be Effected by
Change In Handling Unde.
liverable Mail.

Sixty clerks will be displaced from the
Post Office Department as the result OF
the Postmaster Generals order of
August last directing that third and
fourth class parcels which heretofore
have been sent to the dead letter office
be sent to the fifteen post offices where
the division superintendents Of the rail-
way mail service are located.
While these clerks will be eliminated
from the rolls Of the department. 1t Is
said, they will not lose their positions
or present salary If they are content
to accept positions in post Offices.
The last day Of September letter was
addressed to each of the clerks. stating
that on account Of lack Of work in the
dead letter Office the Postmaster Gen.
eral had signed an order transferring
them to some post Office other than that
at Washington. The letter requested a
reply in writing whether the clerk had
any preference as to the post Office to
which the transfer should be made as

Nineteen Are Placed.
First Assistant Postmaster General Roper
said yesterday that already nineteen
Of the sixty had been placed. and he had
little doubt that all of them would be
satisfactorily placed at their present
salaries. To this end, he said, the Post
master General would make no drafts
from the civil service commission. or
permit persons to be brought into the
service from other departments or else
where until the entire sixty dead letter
office clerks had been taken care of.
The change in the manner Of handling
unbelievable third and fourth class mat
ter Mr.. Roper explained. was made for
the sake of securing greater efficiency IN
the service. 1t was also necessary, be-
cause of the parcel post service. to save
the expense of transporting parcels from
distant post offices to the department.
The saving he estimated for transporta-
ton alone would amount to 100000, and
that, as well as the saving to the bureau
of the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral, to probably a quarter of a million
dollars.

GEORGETOWN CHANNEL
SOON TO Be DREDGED
About 100000 Cubic Yards of
Material Will Be Removed
From River.

Bids for dredging the Virginia channel
of the Potomac river from the Highway
bridge to Georgetown so as to give
depth of twenty-one feet below mean low
tide will be opened Tuesday at noon in
the office of Lieut.. Col. w. c. Langfitt,
engineer officer in charge Of the Potomac
channels, in the Southern building It is
expected that dredging operations on the
channel will be started the latter part Of
November. Specifications for the work
were sent out about a month ago and all
the large dredging concerns in the east
ern section of the country will be COM
petitors for the job.
The specifications state that about $780,
600 cubic yards of material, consisting of
mud and sand deposited by freshets, are
to be removed, but the contractor must
also figure on removing snags and wrecks
of vessels if any be encountered in the
progress of the work. Should the snags
be large an allowance will be made in
addition to the regular rate of pay and a
special allowance will be made for all
wrecks removed.
Proportions of Job.
The portion of the channel to be deep
ened is 6.O00 feet long. 400 feet wide and
extends from the Highway bridge to op-
posite the foot of west 26th street.
The contractor receiving the job must
start dredging operations within thirty
days after he is notified of the accept
ance of his contract, and must shove the
work at an average rate of $4,000 cubic
yards in the first month and $4,000 cubic
yards per month afterward, to the COM
pletion of the contract. The contractor
has the privilege of suspending operations
from December 10 to March ID If de-
sired. The excavated material is to be
deposited behind the dyke wall recently
constructed along the Virginia side of the
channel or on the marsh lying along the
Rosslyn branch of the P, B. & w. R.R.,
under the Arlington hills.
Dredged Five Years Ago.
1t has been about five Years since the
Georgetown channel was deepened, and
when the drege completed the work at
that time there was twenty-one feet Of
water in the channel on low tide. Since
that time the channel has filled in places
nearly five feet and along it's entire length
the fill has been from two to three feet.
Coal-laden barges drawing seventeen feet
of water could only be brought out from
Georgetown on high water during the
past season, and then the tugs towing
them would have to pull them through
the mud. The worst of the shoalins has
taken place abreast the foot of 18th
street, and soundings made there on an
ordinary tide show but about sixteen feet
of water. 1t is there that the barges nave
the most trouble in coming out from the
Georgetown piers.

Where Saving Will Come.

True, he said, as the clerks are to be
still retained in another branch OF the

saving so far as their salaries are con-
cerned, but the saving will come In MAX
