Fisherwomen Knit.

The f1sherwomen of the East of
Scotland are among the most dex-
ferrous knitters in the world and their
skill is being turned to good account
at this time, when their other sources
of income are, to great extent, par
alyzed through the war. Quite re-
Gently an urgent need arose for the
manufacture at short notice of some
10000 pairs of socks for troops at the
front, and these, through the agency
of the Scottish committee on wom-
ems employment, have been placed
with the women of a number of fish
ing villages up and down the east
coast of Scotland, more particularly
in Aberdeenshire. Other large or
ders for socks. mittens, and the like
have been given out to the fisher
women In various parts of Scotland,
and are affording a welcome addition
to their diminished earnings in this
most difficult time, more especially
as in these fishing villages 1t would
be a matter of extreme difficulty to
arrange any other practicable scheme
of work for the women.

Cost 100000, Says President
CT Company.

Manitowoc.-The construction of a
new steamer larger than any now in
the Goodrich fleet will be begun by
the Manitowoc Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Co., at Manitowoc, about May 1,
according to A. W. Goodrich, presi-
dent Of the Goodrich Transit Co.
The new ship will cost 100000, will
be 216 feet long and will contain 207
staterooms. About one year will be
required for its construction. When
completed it will ply between Chicago,
Grand Haven and Muskegon.
THE new boat is in no sense de-
signed to take the place of the Iowa,
which was sunk by the ice pack off
Chicago harbor," said Mr.. Goodrich.
1.-The plans for this boat had been pre-
pared long before the Iowa sank, and
we had intended to build it this year.
The Georgia is now taking the place of
the Iowa, but that arrangement is
subject to change"

IDLE PLANT TAX ILLEGAL
In Decision Judge Grimm Sustained
Contention of Rock County
Sugar Company.

Janesville-In a decision Judge
Grimm sustained the contention of
the Rock County Sugar company that
their assessment of 100000, levied by
the town of La Prairie upon their
plant, idle for the last year, is illegal.
At the meeting of the board of review
of the ownership the company pro-
tested that their plant was oyeras-
sessed and without the presentation
of evidence to the contrary the board
failed to make a correction. The COM
pany took the matter TO court upon a
writ of certiorari. A new assessment
must be made, which will be the basis
for tax collections in 1914 and 1915.

American Sugar in Moist Climates.

American sugar has been taken in
Ireland in good quantities since the
outbreak of the present European war;
but it has proved very damp for this
climate. There seems to be a fair
prospect that if the sugar we're salts
factory it might hold the market even
after the termination of the war, until
the beet-sugar areas became fully pro
ductive once more; for sugar-beet
growing in Ireland is officially pro-
nounced not feasible. Therefore Amer
lean sugar refiners and dealers might
well take pains to suit this market
by providing a drier sugar than that
hitherto sent. The climate of Ireland
is exceedingly humid. and probably
the refineries should continue their
processes slightly longer than usual in
order to produce a very dry sugar
Dealers here state that they would
be glad to dispense with the need of
buying American sugar on account Of
this defect-Consul Wesley Frost,
Cork Queenstown, Ireland.

MIGRATION BILL
 PASSES SENATE 50 TO 2 Senator 5randegee One of Those Who
 Voted in the Negative.

Washington. Jan. 3.-The irnmigra- ton bill containing the restrictive literacy test for admission of aliens, which has been the obstable in immi. grafton reform legislation for tue greater part of two national adminiE- trations, passed the senate late yes- terday by vote of 90 to '. The over Whelming majority was recorded, de- spite the fact that President Wilson had indicated that he would veto the measure, as did former President Taft, of it should come to him with the educational test included.
 The vote in the senate indicated that the bill could be repassed by more than the required two-thirds majority should the president reject the measure. Senators who voted against the bill were:
 Brandegee, McCumber, Maritime, O'Gorman, Ransdell, Reed and Walsh
 The bill passed the house Febru- ary last by vote of 241 to 126.
 Although the senate amended the house bill in several particulars, the literacy test was unaltered save for an additional eemption to Belgian subjects. which was adopted after pro- longed debate. House leaders prob- ably will ask for a conference on senate amendments Monday, but ad- ninistration leaders were confident that the senate amendments would be accepted and the bill sent to the Pres ident by the middle of next week.
