ASTOBIA. OKEQON. FRIDAY, JANUARY.'22. 1004. r- NEW RULING ANNOUNCED '- "' Government Customs Houses to Remain Open ' Until 4:30 P. M. Hereafter. " NOTICE RECEIVED LOCALLY Euillyes W ill et Half Holiday Each Week Duriagr July, August and Septem ber Thla Year. Hereafter the United Statea customs house at thi port of Aitorla will remain pen until i: SO p. m. of each dor, in accordance with a ruling recently made by Secretary of the Treasury Leslie If. Shaw. Copies of the ruling have Just been received here. Formerly the customs house 'we ' opened for business at o'clock and closed at 4. The rullnc of 'the secretary requires that all customs bouses shall be kept open until :10. commencing with January 11. The ruling is made under the act of congress of March 15, 1898. Under the new order of things em ployes will work eight hours dally. In stead of seven and one-half, as has heretofore been' the case. In the past the local customs house was not closed from to 4. and it will be constantly open hereafter from ,to 4: SO. On Saturdays during the months of July, August and September the office will be closed at IS noon, which was not heretofore the 'case. The , additional half hour will give masters of vessels that much more time 1n which to at tend to entries and clearances. DESERTIONS ARE GENERAL Apprentices Leaving Vessels Lying I , Harbor at Portland. , Wholesale desertions are occurring among the crews of vessels lying at Portland. The men seem to like the country; and. scarcely a day goea by that some master does not report the loss of sailors. Apprentices have Join ed in the scramble for liberty. The East African lost several men. of whom two apprentices, Slmpklns and Whlst on. are still missing. Parker Thomp son, another apprentice who deserted from the vessel, was recaptured and returned to the ship. He says he was foolish to desert and is glad that he was captured. If he knows the where abouts of the other lads he Is keeping the information to himself. According to the Journal, there ap pears to be a regular epidemic among the ship apprentices to desert. It Is reported that there are four or five aboard the British ship Glenesslln who are on the verge of deserting. The vessel is at the Eastern mill loading lumber for Delagoa bay. South Africa. Owing to the poor water and climate that is looked upon as a very unhealthy portl The Glenesslln was there on her last trip, and the captain and all the crey suffered greatly from suckness. That is one of the reasons that the apprentices are said to be looking with longing eyes upon the shores of Atnerl- ca'. "They do not want to go through the same exeprten'ce of wrestling with disease that they did a short time ago. ' Another reason for discontent is of j fered in the fact that the Glenesslln is I taklng on board unusually heavy tlm l bers. In South African ports there are f no longshoremen and the ship's crew Is ' obldged to discharge the cargo. That f is heavy work that the beys are said ? to be desirous of escaping. They have been with the Glenesslin f three years and only have' one more year to serve to blossom out into offic ers of various grades. Desertion it is pointed out, would spoil their seagoing career in an Irreparable manner. SPEED OF ATLANTIC LINERS. 8tstement Showing Average Time Re quired For Oosan Ships. Local agsnts r the North German Lloyd Steamship -iompany; operating between New York and London,have re ceived tables showing the comparative schedules' of the big ships plying be tween these ports during the past year, the report of the United States sup erintendent of foreign malls being tak en as authority.

The quickest trip of the year between New Tork and London was made In 148.0 hours, the Kronprini 'WilheinV estab lishing this record. The swiftest boat of the Hamburg American line, the Deutehlsnd, moat nearly approached ' the "record ef the Uoyd vessels, making the trig' In the average time of 143.7 hurs. The best Cunard boat, the Lucanta, took an av. erage time of 1T0. hours tor the voy. age The White Star's best boat, the Oceanic, required 17J.1 hours, and of the American line the Philadelphia, despite her name, proved the swiftest. i' u V but she took an average time of l.S.s hours. The general average of all lines is about 300 hours, and the slowest average time wsis by the Cymric of the White Star line, she taking IS9.7 hours and only making three trips during the year, while many other boats men tioned made from 10,to 15 trips.
