MACHINERY IS
 RUNNING SMOOTHLY


 w. F. Gore returned from Smugglers Cove this morning and reports that everything in fine shape at the "Old Glory. The manager F. T. Leahy is more than pleased with the manner ill which the new mach inery is working. They are now running three shifts on the drills and will increase the force from time to time as they have an excess of power. The work on the buildings is mak- ing good progress, the cook house and bunk house being finished and the other build ings in course of construction. Snow is hampering the work materially as everything IS covered up, but the outlook is very promising and strong hopes are entertained for the future.

SEATTLE'S ALASKA
 SHIPPING

For the benefit of those who do not appreciate the large number of steamships regular ly sailing from Seattle to Alas ka points, as we'll as those ill the far East who lack knowl- edge of this important trans portatiOn situation, it may De we'll to give some facts i'll re latiOn to the splendid servicC offered by the steamship com panies. The following figures have been compiled from the Daily Index for the year 1913. ar are as accurate as can be Ol
 lained. From January 1st, tc December 31st, 1913, a grand total of 3S5 sailings for Alask; ports were reported, whicl would be more than an averag, 'of one sailing for every one 0. the calendar days.
 Of the grand total, 3lS sail
 ings represented the regula' sailings of organized steamship companies. of which the Separ- ate figures are as follows: Alas ka Steamship Co.,, I30; Pacifi, Coast Steamship Co.,, S6; Nortl land Steamship Co.,, 43; Swan Navigation Co.,, 32; Humbold Steamship Co.,, ,2G Alaska Coas Eo., IT; Western Alaska Steam ship Co.,, f. With a total BIS regular sailings from tho port of Seattle to Alaska port during one year, it can be read fly seen why the Alaska busin ess has been centered in tho city of Seattle. This year tht number of sailings will be fa' greater. The Alaska Steamship Co.,, for example, having recen ly inaugurated all entirely new freight service in addition tC it's passenger lines and during winter months give regula freight service on the 5th. lgtl and Both of each month, in ad. ditiOn to it's passenger sailing on the 5th, 10th, 18th, goth 25th and 3Oth of each month and which will still further in. crease it's large total of sail ings for the present calande year. and later all anollncemeni will be made by the other com paHies operating their increase service so that without all! doubt Seattle, for the year 1914

In the thousand years OF It's history
Oxford has never had q mayor from
the university. That event now, ap.
parently, impends The election OF
Rev. William Edward Sherwood, mas.
ter OF arts Of Magdalen and Christ
church. is considered certain. Though
not born in Oxford. Mr.. Sherwood was
an Oxford boy educated in the Mag.
dalen college school. This lonE-de.
ferred choice Of an academic mayor
originates In the antagonlsm which
used to exist between town and gown,
an antagonism which has long since
been outgrown in Oxford. but which is
readily understandable from the er
perience OF younger academic comnu.
mites. In the old academy towns of
New England the feeling used to run
high, because education was then the
privilege Of the few. AS education in.
creasingIy comes within the grasp Of
the many this antagonlsm evapCrates
OF itself The probable election of Mr.
Sherwood as mayor OF Exford may be
read as an expression, trihe belated
perhaps, that in Oxford Of least these
old enmities are entirely past.
