LONDON. Aug. 21. — To relieve the
chancellor of the exchequer of some
of the responsibility for the issue of
e^'hequer bonds, war loans, etoc., still
another office is practically certain
to be added to the cabinet, in the form
of the ministry of loans, according to
a political writer in the Weekly Dis
patch.
When McKinnon Wood takes over
the position of financial secretary to
the treasury, after resigning the
Scotch secretaryship, It will be found
that he will take over the duties of
the new office, the writer says.
The ministry of loans will be the
third new cabinet office to have been
created during the war, the other two
being the ministry of munitions and
the ministry of blockade. In the or
dinary course the addition would mean
a cabinet of 24, but in future it is re
garded as certain that the chancellor
ship of the Duchy of Lancaster will be
filled by a minister holding a second
office, thus keeping the number down
to 23.
BARGE WITH LOAD OF COAL
UNABLE PROCEED ON JOURNEY.
The barge William H. Smith, under
tow of the tug Daring, with a load of
British Columbia coal for our govern
ment at ITnalaska, sprung a leak and
had to put back to Juneau. After pass
ing Dixon’s Entrance, and when 200
miles off shore, the barge suddenly
, became strained and the captain of
the tug immediately put about and
headed for Juneau.
Word w-as cabled to the owners of
the barge, as the captain claims that
she is unsafe to go to sea and her
pumps are working constantly to keep
the water down while lying at anchor.

I typewriter.
■
!
Ball Bearing; Long Wearing
i The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been due to the fact that the wants of the user have
dictated its construction. The user lias decided in favor
of certain improvements now incorporated in Model 8.
Among them are:
Silence of Operation—The most silent running efficient
typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence
has been very nearly attained.
Decimal Tabulator—A help in billing and tabulating.
There is no extra charge for this convenience.
Variable Line Spacer— Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space horn point of starting ; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Vaster Ribbon Veed—Insures new place of impact foi each
typeface.
Choice of Carriage Return—Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained
— hall hearing carriage, typebars and capital shift, back spacer,
key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible
paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.
