,, Marshall A. Haraden, agent of the
Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc. says
| that the outlook for steamboat bust
ness is slim. Deckhands demand
500 a month and found, while cap
tains demand $3.50 a month and
other officials of the engine force
and personnel of the steamers ask
similarly high wages. Haraden
says that no possible freight charges
or passenger tariffs can offset these
demands on top Of high cost of fuel
and materials needed for the boats
and leave any money for dividends.

boating is couraging.-Bath Daily

You're killing me-" Mr.. Simmons
, was not minded to be a passive wit
ness of a murder, so he ordered young
Stevens to quit. The latter's reply
sounded decidedly sassy to Simmons
who reached out with his whip in
tending to crack it over Stevens
back. Stevens looked up at that
precise moment and t. whip struck
him across the cheek, nose and eye.
