SAYS OFFICIALS MUST
NOT TAKE CONTRACTS

An important opinion was rendered
by Assistant City Attorney Milverton,
spon the objections made to con-
tracts for coal with the city entered
into by Manuel Cook, chief clerk Of
the territorial public works depart
ment. and contract made by Farm
.Cornn for otheE supplies. The opin-
ion upheld the contention raised by
the Star Bulletin, which brought the
case to public attention, that the law
passed by the last legislature forbids
any public official from engaging in
public business for his private profit
directly or indirectly. The attorney
suggested that as former attorney
general had held that Cook might
engage in such contracting, he should
be reimbursed for the amount of
money he is out Of pocket on the
vouchers now held up, which will
be about $1,000. Cornn's warrant is
for less than s10o, it was reported

Gablonz left Trieste on her maiden
trip recently with full cargo The
two ships ar etwinscrew steamers Of
$4,000 tons and 1900 b. p, and have a
speed of IL knots. Owing TO the
favor which the fast line enjoys
among the public, and also in con-
sideration OF the not climate OF In
dia, the Austria-Lloyd have paid the
utmost attention to the construction
and fitting of the passenger occommd-
dations. The cabins, mostly situated
on the upper deck, are high and
spacious, and are provided with
electric yentilators, and with modern
saloon lights, instead of ordinary
sidelights. Dining saloons, ladies'
rooms, smoking rooms, music saloons,
writing saloons, lounges, and bars are
distinguished by their luxurious up-to-
dateness. The steamers are them
selves exceedingly well found in
every respect. There are gymnasia

graphy. Each steamer furnishes sleep

stairway for Ships
At the 500" west bound vessels
climb upstairs" TO the level of
Superior, and away back in 1856,
when the first of the locks at that
narrow gateway was completed, it
was literally climbing upstairs for
the process was through two locks,
each with nine foot lift These
double locks have disappeared in the
march of improvements, writes Ed
ward Hungerford in Harper's Maya
zine, for the history of the 500 is
a story OF constant endeavor to keep
pace with the growth OF traffic. To
day three locks two American and
one Canadian-are at the free service
of the ships Of any nation, and the
total number of lockages is some
fifteen thousand in the course of a
season, which is one on an average
of every twenty-five minutes, night
and day. But unfortunately the yes
sells do not always come in regular
sequence. There are days when
biockades of vessels await their
chances in the basins of the locks,
and wise captains wonder whether a
quick run for the American or Can
adam lock viii give them the quick
est passage through this neck of the
Great Lakes bottle.
So serious has this matter become
that a third lock on the Michigan
side is already almost completely ex-
cavated, while agitation has begun
for fourth American lock With the
constant increase of traffic at Saulte
Ste. Marie, 1t would seem that relief
could not come too soon.

some time that Mr.. Stevenson would
enter the senatorial fight
Mr.. Stevenson is said to have held
an important conference with some
South Carolina political leaders with
in the past day or two and the an
nouncement made to them as result

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Two Strangers in Barnwell Jail Not
Yet Identified.

Barnwell, May 16.-Two very sus-
picious characters were arrested here
Wednesday by Policemen F. NJ. Cave
and w. A. Hayes and, being unable
to give good account of themselves,
were lodged in Jail pending the re-
ceipt of answers by kilograms sent
out for information concerning them.
When asked for the name of some
person or persons who could idetlty
them they gave the name of tele-
graph operator in Charleston. This
man was sent a telegram, but to date
nothing has been heard from him.
AS one of the suspects resembled
very closely a picture of fugitive
from California and tailed with the
description in every particular but
that of weight, the authorities in that
State were communicated with and
they wired back to hold the man and
send photograph and full description.
The photograph will be made today
and forwarded to California. The
California fugitive is wanted for muir
der.
When the arrest was first made 1t
was thought that perhaps the men
we're connected with the gang OF
"veggmen" who are working in this
State.

GET WHAT YOU WANT"
BY William Johnston

Get what you want in this world,
it's here waiting for you, all you have
to do is TO reach for it, if you reach
hard enough, and long enough, you'll
yet it, 10 matter what il is you want
Suppose you are foolish enough to
want great wealth; you can get il.
But You must make up your mind
that you want wealth, that you want
it above everything else in the world.
Observe an Industrious alien with
a push-cart. lie wants IA thousand
dollars. He sleeps in cellar. He
rises at four. He works till ten at
night, he denies himself food to save.
Some day he will have his thousand
dollars.
But" you protest, Il can't sleep
il. cellar, I'm above running push
cart Very well, then, there's little
likelihood that you will ever get rich.
There are other things that you
want more than wealth, your comfort.
your social position.
Suppose YOU are more sensible
suppose that it success YOU want.
Good There are few joys in this
world that can compare with the JOY
Of achievement
Set your mark and keep climbing
toward it. You'll reach it if YOU keep
at it. BE persistent and he patient.
If you are in Maine you cant wish
yourself in California. And YOU
can't get there over night, either. But
you'll get there sometime, if you start
and keep going, even if You 90 ON
your hands and knees.
But, remember this No man ever
climbs higher than the mark he sets
himself. No man ever reaches the
top walking sideways. No man
achieves who keeps turning back.
And one thing more: Pick your
apple carefully before you start to
climb the tree. Some apples are sour.
