CIVIL SERVICE
BILLS ACTION
DUE TODAY

:, Three bills with q very limited
scope are scheduled for consid-
GRAFTON today in an executive
!, session Of the Senate Civil Ser
Svice COMMITTEES.
: Despite the fact that there Is
pending before the committee
legislation including the McCar-
ran pay bill, the extension Of the
merit system and a general re-
tirement amendment, it was
learned from an authoritative
source that these will not be
considered. Refusal Of the
Budget Bureau to submit reports
/. on these measures, in the face
Of a survey being conducted in
= personnel matters for the ben.
!. eft Of the President. is the main
. cause for the delay.
With this situation in mind
I. however, Senator Pat McCarran
? Cd Nevada, author Of the pay
: raise bill, has written a letter to
!. Senator William j. Bulow, chair
. man Of the committee, in which
! he asks for immediate hearings on
his bill regardless Of the Budget
Bureau.
Although the letter was not
I. made public, it Is known that he
= suggested to Bulow that Congress
, would be well within its rights in
acting independently Of the Bud
get Bureau.
The bills which seem certain Of
discussion are:
A bill to correct an inequality
which exists in retirement bene-
fits of approximately 20 employees
in the Panama Canal Zone.
A bill, passed by the House, re-
quiring that applicants for Civil
Service positions under the ap.
portionment rules must prove q
residence Of at least one year In
the State from which they make
the application.
A bill providing that the gen.
eral provisions Of the Civil Serv.
ice Retirement system be made to
apply to legislative employees at
the Capitol, If they so desire it.

 Period Styles Popular
 Reporting on the new trend in home furnishings, MT Jones de- .clared that the period styles are .again becoming popular. People are turning away from the modern streamlining; Victorian is coming back. MT. Jones found it to be the consensus of opinion among fur 'niture men that people are asking better quality and style; and, they Iare able to pay for what they want. New furniture is better made and is built from better materials, with a higher degree of finishing, he de- clared.
 MT Jones expects to have the fin- lest selection of furniture ever pre- Isented by the Juneau Hardware Company on display at the store by about the middle of this month. The selection will represent the fruit of his trip; items purchased only af- ter careful examination of all the markets have to offer

Choir on 1t, with all the chain. The
scow took the anchor astern, the
full length OF the chain-540 feet
and dropped it. Then we did the
same to the other chain and an
Choir. This was to help the tugs
when they were ready. Then one
tug came out and tied along side
our stern, facing out. All day long
he held onto us and worked his en-
gine full ahead, making a strong
current to wash the sand out from
under us. Every few hours or so he
would move back a few feet and
take another hold. He dragged
from four feet deep to eleven feet,
and did the mud fly. All day long
this kept up on both sides OF us.
The next day was the same thing.
The third day more tugs came
out. We gave them 300 feet Of 2h
steel cabel, made fast to our stern.
Both tugs got onto that line apd
heaved for all they were worth,
swinging back and forth to get the
stern pried loose. Finally on the
fifth day all three tugs took hold
of the cable and with the help OF
our heaving on both anchors, she
came loose. The next day we were
through.

from Erie to Detroit, with stop

many wood sections. Each small
town has some sort Of factory,
and there are green houses, vine
yards and orchards. In Detroit

from Muskegan. The country here

big snow, SO to 40 inches OF it, with
five-foot drifts. The plows are just
to get out here. We are
IA miles from town on country
roads; eight miles from through

rabbit, squirrel, pheasant and ven

stuck for two days around Muske-

Kenneth Robinson, Working
On Great Lakes, Had In
teresting Experience
GROUNDED FOR DAYS
To Make Trip To Ozarks and
New Orleans By
Car

An interesting letter depicting
the hardships of sailors on the
Great Lakes, at the beginning OF
the winter season, is that received
from Kenneth Robinson by his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Robinson, in
this city. Kenneth has been employ
ed on the freighters on the Great
Lakes for many years and his ex-
perience has been wide and varied
UP until the closeup he was en-
ployed on the Mime" a freight ship
plying between Duluth and East
ern ports. In the following letter he
gives an interesting account of the
work necessary to get a grounded
ship afloat. That was the last ex-
perience he had before winter tied
up shipping lanes on the lakes. The
letter follows:
Grant, Michigan,
December 13, 1887.
Hello Folks:
Have been aground in Erie har-
Dor for five days and now I've been
snowbound for four more. Our last
trip was to Duluth for a load of
flour to take to Buffalo. In Duluth
we had seven above weather, which
Is too cold for me. We had a good
trip down the Lakes and unloaded
in Buffalo. We went to Erie to lay
up and would have been finished
December LIST. All the way to Erie
storm was brewing. AS we were
making the harbor entrance the
wind howled out Of the west. It
blew fifty-six miles an hour accord
ing to the government. We made
the harbor but couldn't get near
the dock-three times we dropped
both anchors and three times we
dragged them across the bay. There
were fifteen other ships in the har-
Dor, some of which we barely miss
ed as we drifted. So the skipper put
the Mine" upon a sand bar for the
night. All would have been OK, for
we planned on pumping out our
ballast tanks and backing off in
the morning-but during the night
the water went down Az feet and
left us high and dry.
We had come in on extreme high
water caused by the wind and now
we were stuck hard. We only had
two feet of water at our bow, and
8 feet at our stern. We needed 5
feet forward and II feet aft. The in
surance company took the job of
salvaging her.
The next morning scow came
along side and we lowered our an

Notes from the United States, notes
from Great Britain. Notes to the
whole mess, says this corner.
Lest we forget, there are still a
few of these Chinese boys in this
scrap. SO much is told of Britain's
position and the United States part
in the thing-people are forgetting
the poor Chinese boys. The United
States is a neutral, the kind they've
always been. Sticking their nose in
to somebody's else's business. First
thing you know a Chinese Is going
to be killed in this war, and Chang

telling him to keep his boys out Of
somebody else's affairs.
I wish that Uncle Sam would quit
playing Big Brother, or Is his role

any rate as soon as somebody steps
on somebody else's toes he has got
to send over his junks to protect
American interests. Like all big
brothers, sometime he gets mad at
the little kid and hauls Off and
makes a pass at him. And all Of a
sudden us young guys are equipped
with a gas mask and can Of cootie
powder and hell bound for some
place.
If I was a taxpayer I would be
awful mad at the State Depart
ment. Not only do they get us a
ship sunk in a dirty Chinese river
and make scrap iron out Of 1t, but
they sit up all night writing notes.
Burning electricity costs money,
and think Of the postage they are
using. AS soon as the ship went
down the State Department rose up

don't get 1t, then what. They have
gone as far as they can with "if you
don't quit sinking our ships in the
line Of fire"-with out adding the
suspected ending we will send over
