PltOPHlSClKS of tho probable
dimensions of Atlantic liners
havo hitherto proved tinder
estimates. At the first International
confess of mailtlmo navigation In
Philadelphia last May It was pre
dicted that In 1050 the 20 largest
bonts of tho Atlantic Meet would
lmvo an nvcrngc of 1100 feot, with
i beam of over 100 foot, and draw
nearly -10 feet of water. A previous
forecast, however, for 1923 mater
ialized In 1011. Plans for tho new
locks nt Tulbury dock provide for a
length of 1250 feet, n width of 1.10
feot and a draft of 51 feet. The
Suor. canal, which so fur hns been
Incapable of receiving ships of the
nlzo of North American lliicts. Is to
bo deepened to .19 feet by III IB.
Tliero exists an appreciable differ
ence between port accommodation In
Now York and Havre. The cntranco
to tho French port has n low tide a
minimum depth of 10 feet of water.
On tho other hand. In Now York hnr
linr tho Ambrose channel has n depth
of 10 feet.
Dig liners today can not wait for
tho tide. All companies attach Im
portance to Hailing on schedule. This
is Impossible nt Havre: hence there
nro In course of construction there
works that will noon glvo the port n
big t'.dny basin, with u quay of more
than H000 feet, along which there
will always be at least .10 feet of
water. Harper's Wcokly.

thnt two shorthand reporters threw

of Its total taxes In county scrip, the
full amount. $37,503.12, was paid
In cash. Bcjvernl other large timber
holders are doing tho same. This
means, that notwithstanding the fact
that the sheriff as tax collector must
receive 116 mills on the assessed
valuation In warrants in the pay
ment of taxes, there will be a large
amount of rnsh go Into the treasury
so that no difficulty will be exper

who hnvo boon employed us "spot

The bill totalled $119. Its Bonis

threo latter Bonis wero O. K.'d by
the court, but tho wngo rato por
