Secretary George Fl. Stevenson of the Bessemer Board of Trade has prepared a report of the work done by that body during the past year. and it is an espe- cially interesting paper, covering the en- tire field of operations in and around Bessemer, the report on locating and starting new industries and other improve- ments It shows among other things men toned that Bessemer spent more than a quarter of a million dollars last year on new buildings, stores, office buildings, residences. Although many places have been complaining of hard times,s the re- port shows that Bessemer has more than the average advances over any year in the past and all the way through is most gratifying.
 Work on the additions of the local plant of the United States Cast Iron. Pipe and Foundry company have been started and will be pushed rapidly ahead. For the past week the officials of the Virginia Bridge company, which has the contract for the furnishing of the structural steel, have been in Bessemer arranging for the delivery of same. A large force of men will be employed in the construction work and the plant will operate steadily making

The Business High School basket ball
team again seems to be the strongest
in local scholastic ranks. The Stenog-
raphers have been defeating the quints
representing the other institutions
with great regularity, and in the ma
jority of cases the margin in their
favor has been sufficient to guarantee
a mark of superiority without chance
of fluke plays being called the cause.
Business seems to be the most likely
choice for the scholastic championship,

GETS 0CEAN0GRAPHIC DATA.
U. 5. Fisheries Schooner Has Ended
Cruise in Eastern Coastal Waters

The oceanographic cruise of the
United States bureau of fisheries
schooner Grampus last summer con-
tinued the oceanographic work of
1878. which included the study of
currents, salinites, temperatures and
plankton of the coastal waters of our
eastern seaboard.
On reaching Halifax, August 2, DR..
Bigelow and his assistant in this
work learned of the European war,
and shortly received orders to return
to United States waters.
On this cruise complete oceano-
graphic data was taken at fifty-two
stations, ranging in depth from fifteen
to $50 fathoms: 126 tows were made
with the horizontal nets; the quantita-
tive net was used at twenty-six sta
tfons. The distance sailed was about
1000 miles.
Statements as to the scientific re-
suits must await the completion of the
tltrations of the water samples and
general examination of the plankton
samples. The general report on the
cruise, as in the cruises of 1923.
will be prepared in the museum Of
