LOOKED AFTER
WASHINGTON, July in.—Impin'
tant ncv.- work by 1 hr Coast anil Geo
| ik-tir Survey has been made possible
! by enabling legislation contained In
the sundry civil bill just passed. Sec
retary Iti-ilfield announced today that
the authority granted will be utilized
without delay, especially for the col
lection of data on tides and currents
and surveys in Alaskan waters, which
will be of great value to commerce.
Authorization was given in the bill
for tin- payment of not to exceed $1
per day as extra compensation to em
ployes of the different stations and of
I the lighthouse service while observ
i ing tides or currents Lightships art*
peculiarly well situated in positions
where it is desirable to collect tide
and current data, hut such observa !
tions are not part of the duty of the
bureau of lighthouses, and in the past
could not justly be imposed on the
light keepers of that bureau without
some additional compensation, and
I the appropriations tor the Coast and
(leodetic Survey could not be expended
to recompense them for sm-h addi-l
tional duties without this authoriza
tion From the results of data col
lected b> the lightships it is expected
that predictions can be made which
will be of direct benefit to navigators
and go far toward saving many ves-1
■ sols from loss through inadequate'
knowledge of the direction and *
strength of the ocean current*
This bill also authorizes the bureau
i to purchase supplies or procure serv
| ices in the open market in the manner
common among business men where
the amount of the purchase does not
| exceed $.'*<» Instances are numerous
In the past where the ne<. qty of
securing competitive bjds ter small
items have materially delay d the!
progress of field work, and ;< h re
quired procedure has actuall cost
the government more than tin value
of the article purchased.
Other items of enabling leu Nation
are: The authorization of tin* run
ning of lines of precise levels in the
interior of Alaska; the employment
ot draftsmen in the preparation of
plans and specifications for veBmlti;
the reimbursement under rules pre
scribed by the secretary of commerce
of officers of the bureau for food,
i lothing. medicines and other sup
plies furnished tor the temporary re
lief of distressed persons in remote lo
calities and to shipwrecked persons
i temporarily provided for by them
Three important items < f additional
appropriation for the bureau arc con
tained in the bill One in an appro
priation of $50,000 for a new vessel
to cost not exceeding $554,000. An
other In the appropriation of $50,oo0
for a new motor-driven vessel, incluil
ing equipment, to replace the Taku,
condemned jih tinseaworthy and Hold |
at Cordova. The third in for four or
moro new launches, Including their
equipment, $011,500. The two new ves
sels are for much-needed Burvey* of
the waters of Alaska, and the
launches are for use In wire-drag sur
veys.

LONDON. July 19 -William Le
Sage, editor of the Daily Telegraph,
v.ho has just been knighted, tlrst
broke into journalistic fame in Kng
land through a feat of resourcefulness
that gave his paper a t went> -four
hour scoop and knocked the pins from
under his competitors.
I.e Sage was covering an assign !
men! at a seaport town in compete!
tion with a dozen other reporters, all1
old, experienced heads at the news
game.
When they had obtained the farts
they went off into quiet corners to!
write their articles, and on finishing j
discovered that the last train had left j
for London Kverybody took it for]
granted that the piece could not see |
print until twenty four hours later
except Le Sage.
"After long meditation." says the
Daily News, "he resolved to send thei
essentials of his story hv telegraph. 1
It was held to la* an amazingly dar
