Big Salary for Speaker.

The climax of the day came when
President Joseph j. Lanin of the Bos-
ton American League Club announced
that he had secured the signature of
Outfielder Iris Speaker to a two-year
contract at a salary larger than any
heretofore paid a player" in the ranks.
In addition he stated he had given
Speaker a neat bonus for signing.
While he would not say what the
amount Of the salary was, it was re-
ported in baseball circles tonight that
it was to be $4,000 year. President
Frank ]. Navin of the Detroit Ameri-
cans did not have to bid so high for
Sam Crawford S services, nor the ST.
Louis Browns for Pitcher Leverenz;
but in each case there was consid-
erable increase in the figures of the

son. All these players had listened to

morrow will say:
Good to excellent crop reports, quiet
err distributive trade and dull or de-
pressed industry and manufacture ara
the salient features in this weeks
advices Distributive trade tended to
quiet as the mid year holidays APP
preached, but June was a good month
in actual sales, both by wholesalers
and retailers, especially in dry goods,
groceries and millinery, and Chicago.
might be noted reports gain of 80
cents in dry goods trade for six monthS
while New York reports only a small
decrease. Industry had tended to quiet
in preparation for the semi -annuat
shut downs. Iron and steel remain on
short time, but buying broadening
slowly and cotton goods production af-
fected by high cost of cotton, shows
increased restriction.
Collections are rather slow. Exports
of wheat and flour 5,700,057 bushels;
corn 107372 bushels.
Favorable crop prospects tuned to
make for a better undertone in Cana
dian trade circles. AS yet, however.
actual developments are not note
worthy SO business remains quiet.

THE DAYS CHAT
FROM CAPITAL
AT WASHINGTON
Director Smith of Geological
Survey Has Added Work
And Appropriation

Washington, D. c.. July Especially
The important work that Director
George Otis Smith, of the Geological
Survey, is doing was emphasized in
the course of long debate before the
House recently. The Geological Sur
vey is becoming the right arm of the
Interior Department in handling i'm
portant questions affecting public
lands in the West, DR.. Smith, whose
home is at Skowhegan. has kept pace
splendidly with the demands upon his
bureau, whose expenditures now run
into millions of dollars annually. but
he has to ask for constantly larger
appropriations.
1t was brought out in the debate
that the filing of claims for home
steads is not what it used to be five
or ten years ago. Then the entryman
filed his claim and soon went upon his
land. Now before he, gets possession,
the interior Department wants to know
what there is in the land or under it
before title is given over. Surveyors
from Director Smiths force must
examine the land to ascertain whether
it has any coal or other minerals. They
must determine whether the land has
any water power rights or possibilities.
Chairman Ferris, of the Public Lands
Committee outlined the case to the
House when he talked about the in
crease of business that has been piled
onto the Geological Survey" Said he:
There was time when land was
land, and the homesteader, when he
went out upon the land, had only to go
to the land office in his district and file
on it. But these conditions no longer
prevail. Now when man seeks to en-
ter tract of land he first has to de-
termine whether it is mineral or nom
mineral, whether it is timbered or nom
timbered, whether it is irrigable or
non irrigable land. whether it has or
not power sites, and so forth. The re-
suit is that the homesteader has to
wait such a time as Director Smith of
the Geological Survey can send mis-
men out there and determine the char
aeter of the land.
The upshot was that Director Smith
got more money for survey work of
this character and will be able to
carry on the work assigned to him
during the next fiscal year with his
usual expedition and efficiency.

Monhegan Island, the dangerous
rock in Penobscot Bay, is not to have
ropriations for a lightship at this
session, unless the Maine senators can
get it on the sundry civil bill at the
north end of the Capitol The fight
for the appropriation was to finish in
the Democratic House and was lost
The debate there was long and earnest
but for reasons of economy and also
because the lighthouse board is not
overfriendly to the idea, no provision
for the lightship was made. Represen
tative Mondell of Wyoming, member
of the appropriations committee, IN
discussing the proposed appropriation,
said: 1.-The members of Congress from
the State of Maine and the people in
terested in shipping there have been
very earnest and anxious in support
of this proposition for a lightship off
Monhegan Island. Quite a number of
gentlemen interested in shipping ap
peared before the appropriations COM
mittee and made very complete state
ments with regard to the matter. Rep
resentatives Guernsey and Peters Of
the Maine delegation, have been great
" interested in 1t and have urged the
appropriations committee to support
it,"
The cost of a modern lightship is
s125,000 and 1t takes between $4,000
and $4,000 a year to maintain 1t. The
government Is now expanding 100000
a year for the maintenance Of light
vessels and Chairman Fitzgerald Of the
appropriations committee declared 1t
was not desirable to increase the num-
Der of these vessels unless it be i'm
peratively demanded. Then there are
people trying to perfect apparatus
which, if installed on light draft YES
sells would detect the warning Of the
submarine bell. If such apparatus
could be perfected and used by the
owners of light draft vessels great
saving would be effected for the gov
eminent in the maintenance Of light
ships.

Washington is taking quite lively
interest, especially officials at the
Treasury Department, over the election
of directors for the new federal banks
in the twelve reserve districts. The
nominations have been made by the
member banks for these directors in
each of the twelve reserve banks. All
New England is included in federal
reserve district No. l and the reserve
bank for that district. with head
quarters at Boston. viii have nine di-
rectors shortly. Three of these will
be known as Glass y. directors and
will be three bankers, chosen from
somewhere in New England. Three of
the nine will be Class b. Directors,
men, actively engaged in their dis
trict in Commerce, agriculture or some
other industrial pursuit. The other
three. Glass C. directors, will be chosen
by the Federal Reserve Board at
Washington.
1t is something of a question wheth-
er Maine will get any directors in the
reserve bank, which has headquart-
ers at Boston. The nominations are
in and comprise several Maine men.
In the banker list of nominations.
there were three Maine names: F. w.
Adams of Bangor; Hon. c. 5. HIGH
born of Augusta and Charles f. Good
win of Biddeford. The New England
district was divided into three groups
for making nominations. Mr.. Adams
got nomination from two groups and
Messrs Goodwin and Hichborn each a
nomination from but one group.
The Maine list of nominees for Class
B. directors, meaning business men,
comprised Woodbury. K. Dana Of West
brook; H. j. Brown of Portland and
Charles Z. Goodwin of Biddeford. Mr..
Brown has nominations from two
groups of New England banks and
would seem to have a chance for cleo
ton. if any Maine business man has.
But there is no telling how the banks
will line up when it comes to the final
voting which will be conducted during
July, the purpose being to have the
reserve bank at Boston open and ready
for business by August 1. Indeed the
Treasury Department hopes to have
the entire federal reserve system in
operation within month and in con-
dition to handle currency matters in
cident to the larger business operations
of the autumn.
