Second New Pier at River Front
Market Practically Complete.

The new fish wharf, the second of the
new piers at the municipal river front
market, is in condition for vessels to
land at it, the work on it having been
practically completed. The new pier
like the one completed several months
ago and now used as an oyster landing
place. is of reinforced concrete con-
structon and is especially equipped
with running water and other con-
veniences for the cleaning of herring
when in the fishing season they are
cut for the packing houses at the
wharf The fish wharf is two feet
lower than the present oyster wharf,
but is more convenient for the lifting
of fish from the holds of the vessels.
All vessels coming here with fish will
discharge their cargoes at the new
pier
Work on the third pier, the new oys-
ter wharf, is in progress, and it is eN-
pected that it will be completed in the
next month or six weeks. After that
the dealers at the wharf market hope
some move will be made to give them
new buildings in place of the insa nj
tary shackS they are now forced to
use.

The LIST Aero squadron in the United

Brig Gen. John J. Pershing's eNpedi-
ton in Mexico. has surmounted flying
problems more difficult than most OF
those encountered by European avia-
tors.
The work has been done thus far
without serious accident. one of the
senior aviators said that only in the
Alps are the European fiiers likely to
encounter conditions paralleling those
under which the Americans now are
working.
Never" said this aviator, have we
had any flying as difficult as here. We
are under handicap of an altitude
of a bout $500 feet when we rise. Some
of the mountains we have tried to get
over are approximately 5000 feet above
sea level and none of our machines is
powerful enough to carry the pilot,
observer and sufficient fuel at such an
altitude. We might get over one of
the high mountains, but We probably
would be unab BILE to carry enough fuel
for the return flight
