 Steamer Lanes.

BOSTON, Mass, July 19.-Ice- bcrgs of unusual size and number, one of them estimated to contain enough ice to supply the homes of a large part of the country for the rest of the summer, have been en- countered by the United States Coast Guard Cutters Seneca and Yama- craw which are policing the ocean steamship lanes.
 Since early February the United States government, acting under an i international agreement and at in- 1 ternational expense, has maintained 1 the annual iceberg patrol. The coast guardsmen have helped many vessels to steer safe course through the danger zone. Some have 1 been extricated from serious posi- tions, others have been warned when they were headed for the ice.
 The open winter caused a large and drift south. They have become an abnormally serious menace to navigation, according to naval off cers. Many are of huge dimensions
 The giant of all the icebergs is described by Lieutenant Commander E. H. Smith, navigator of the Sen eca, as approximately one third of a mile long and towering 75 feet above the water. This berg remained in sight for nearly month, during which time it travelled 300 miles The vagaries of the ice movements are shown by the fact that another berg circled about. the vessel, cover ing 35 miles in three days.

C., July 19.- Having exhausted every known pro cess of law to recover $235, 900 worth of wines and liquors seized several months ago by the Van couver dry squad" the Canadian Pacific Wine Company has lost on every count.

As $235,- 900 was the value of the goods months ago, today's valuation will be nearer $400,000 owing to the vastly increased cost of liquor and the fact that the liquor control board will be selling this special consignment.

 After several speeches had been made, assuring the Cover nor that everyone was delight ed with his appoi intment, Judge Jennings was called upon for a few remarks. He started by telling the new chief executive that he must not think, how ever. that the people was un- animously satisfied.
 Only today" said Judge Jennings, 'I met a friend, 1 asked him if he was going to attend the reception for the Governor. He replied: No 1 asked him if he was not going to just because he is a Demo- crat. Again he replied: No. I then told him he ought to make a good fellow out of him. self and attend any way. That brought forth his real opposi- tion to the appointment.

 No, I'm against this BONE dry law and I'll be hanged if I'll pay homage to the author of it..

an, E. A. Staff Special.)


Washington, Feb. 1.-More than
100000 job-holders on Uncle Sans
payroll will lose their jobs March 4
or soon thereafter.
Republicans insist they don't care
anything about spoils. They say about
100000 jobs now in the classified ser
vice-the "spoils" jobs-will remain
unchanged. But all the JOBS that re-
quire any independent thinking or
that pay attractive salaries-well,
yes, they want them, and they mean
to have them.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican
leader in the senate, explains it thus:
"The new administration is entitled
to have assistants of its own selec'
tion and who are in sympathy
with il"
AS a result of Lodges guardian
shin some 10000 nominations sent to
the senate by President Wilson re-
main unconfirmed. OF these approx
mately $4,000 are appointments IN the
army, navy and marine corps; 3'ooo
are of postmasters and the remainder
in the diplomatic, consular, pubic
health and other services.
Between 5000 and 1000 or the
army, navy and marine appointments
probably will be confirmed before
March 4; but confirmation will cover
only original appointments, necessary
to retain men in the service, and Will
not affect any officer hoping for pro-
motion or preferment.

ECONOMIST DRAFTS IT

Madison, Wis, Feb. ia bill to
compel employers to pay insurance

Wisconsin legislature this week by ad-
ministration forces. It is said to have
the backing of the American Fedora.

The measure was prepared by the

Fixes Amounts.
1t would require employers to form
mutual insurance companies and pay
benefits to workers discharged be-
cause of lack of employment at the
rate of $3.50 day to adults and 10
cents a day to- boys and girls over
sixteen and under eighteen.
The unemployed, provided they hau
worked the last twenty-six weeks,
would be entitled to benefits on the
basis of one week for every four
weeks employed. o.. ~
Strikers Barred. ..-
Workers idle because OF strikes are
not entitled, under the law, to '5ene,
fits. If the unemployed worker is
offered employment in another dis
trict his employer may either pay his
railroad fare to the town where the
work may be obtained or else con-
tinue the benefits.
hackers of the bill maintain that
the fear of unemployment was the
moving impulse responsible for the
labor unrest and is the main reason
for curtailment of production.
Would Remove Fear.
Remove that fear, they say, and
labor difficulties would be reduced
and production speeded up. While
this bill is designed primarily as an
insurance measure, its advocates
maintain that it would cause employ
