CARNRAVON HARBOUR TRUST CLEANING THE DOCK. WORK DELAYED OWING TO LITIGATION. ATTACK BY MR LLOYD-CARTER. ALLEGED NEGLECT OF DUTY. The monthly 'meeting of the Trust, was held at the Harbour Offices, on Tuesdav morning, Mr H. Clegg (vice-chairman) presiding. The other memlbers present were Messrs W. A. Darbishire (Mayor) G. R. Rees, T. M. Lloyd, J. irlsard Davies, W. S. Jones, W. Lloyd Grif- fith, W. Paynter, J. iBowen, E. Hughes, O. Jones, J. R. Pritchard, Trevor Hughes, D. P. Williams, A. Richards, J. Fletcher, T. Owen, (R. Norman Davies, R. Roberts, C. Wawn, R. Thomas, J. P. Gregory, and H Lloyd-Carter, Messrs C. A. Jones (solicitor to the Trust), W. Bowen Jones (surveyor), and H. Owen (col- lector). ILLNESS OF AN EMPLOYEE. At a meeting of the Finance Committee at- tention was called to the payment of the half wages, 14s a week, to John Boulter, the en- gineer of the steamer "Seiont," who had been off duty owing to illness since February, and as there appeared to be no prospect of his re- suming work, the committee resolved to pay him 5s per week, as from the end of the present week, until the 31st next. Mr Clegig explained that Boulter had been, in the. employ of the Trust for only three years. The resolution of the committee was con- firmed. THE ACTION AGAINST THE TRUST. The Solicitor to the Trust informed the Fin- ance Committee that the appeal of Mr Asshe- ton-Smith against the judgment of the Court of Appeal would shortly be in the paper to come before the House of Lords, and he assured the committee. that he had taken the necessary 'steos for the defence. THE PORTMAD0C LIGHT RAILWAY. At the Finance Committee a letter was read from the Portmadoc, Beddgelert. etc. Railway Company stating that the Light Railway Order had just been confirmed by the Board of Trade,, and they hoped to be able to write the Trust 'with reference to the carrying through of th purchase shortly. FINANCE. The Finance Committee reported that the amount received during the past month was L212 3s 3d. nq compared with JB224 15s 8d for the corresponding period last year. There was a balance at the bank of L93. LAND AT THE DOCK. At a meeting of the Works Committee held that morning, the application of Mr John Pri- cha.rd for land at the dock was further con- sidered. The Chairman (Mr Menziee) suggested that a lea^ be granted to Mr Prichard of the ilartd adjoining the mill at a rent of £ 25 a year. the lease to terminate with t-he existing lease, and the building to be of the same character as the present building. The com- mitter adopted the suggestion of the Chairman. A further letter, however, was read from Mr Prichard asking tihat the terms of the proposed lease should be 60 years, and the committee re- solved that Mr Prichard's request be complied solved that Mr Prichard's request be complied with, provided a clause was ineertm, in the leaee to the effect that, if the land was required by the Trustees at the expiration of the present lease, 48 years, the new lease should be termi- nated upon certain conditions. Mr Clegg said that Mr Prichard considered nated upon certain conditions. Mr Clegg said that Mr Prichard considered that the previous terms offered him were exces- sive. A rent of R29 10s, subject to a sum of R400 being spent on the buildings, was then asked. The Chairman and Surveyor met Mr Prichard with the result that other terms were agreed upon, and these were embodied in the report of the committee. The 'committee's report was adopted. CLEANING THE DOCK. WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. Mr Clegg remarked that the question of cleaning the dock had !been delayed in conse- quence of the Jitigation that had been goinQ" on. It was really a question of pounds, shillings, and pence, and before entering- upon an impor- tant work of the kind, the Trustees had to con- sider 'how they werezoinl, to meet the expense that would be incurred. The Surveyor, in a re- port prepared by him, said that he had made a Itnorough inspection oif the dock, and taken measurements and levels, and by comparison with previous data he found that there was a considerable accummulation of mud in certain parte. Not much "work had been done for two or three years in the way of dredgirag,on account of the depositing ground at 'Balaclava having filled up. Before any serious attempt could i, be made to do th-e worl, provision must I made for either dealing further with the material ait Balaclava or for taking it out to sea. The former would, of course, mean the continuation of the sea wall or the erection of a strong timber ) groyne or a rough cross wall, and in order to take the spoil out to sea the only course open was to hire the necessary craft, or get the work done by tender. In his opinion, the latter scheme would be the more prompt and effec- tive, but it was questionable whether it would bo the more economical. even after taking into consideration the expense in connection with the erection of the groyne or rouigh sea wa.H He estimated that, a sum of B500 at least would have to be expended upon the dOck in order to clear the accummjulated mud. Mr H- Lloyd-Carter asked whether the, &c- 'Cttmmjulia.tion, of mud at the dock was worse now then it 'was when a complaint was made at £ time by Messrs Edward Hughes and Co. The Surveyor: Do you mean when a ship j went aground ? Mr Carter: Yoc I The Surveyor: The dock generally is in a worse condition now than it has been. Mr J. Tssard Davies: It is not a question what it has been, but what it is now. At the last meeting of the Trust, I thought that the question betwaen us and Mr Assheton-Smith would have been decided by now, and that we wouild be in a position to enter upon a larire scheme, and clean not onilv that part but this as well. Now that the case has not been de- cided. we might go in for a moderate scheme Continuing, Mr Davies said that the condition of thirty in the town was such that the Trus- tees oijzht to c.,omlbine with the Town Council in order to do something to give employment to those who were out of work. There was a proepect of a very hard winter as far as Car- narvon .was concerned, and if thev could give employment to men for two ov three months, it would shorten the winter very much. He thought the Trustees could do 4 little, in thai way without inconveniencing themselves, al- though the action against them had not been decided. He moved thiat a committee be ap- pointed to :go into the matter without delay. pointed to go into the matter without delay. Mr G. R. Rees: Provided that a report b* submitted to the next meeting. The committer ought not to be given authority to spend whol. sale, Mr J. Issard Davies: We are (bound to clean the dock. That is certain. If we win th^ cqro we may :go in for a new hopper, and do the work properly. In any case we must do some- thing; there is no use waiting. If we appoint a. committee we mav entrust them, with an ex- penditure of about £150. Mr Wawn That would not be a bit of use. Mr Carter seconded the proposal, and said :that the Trustees, in the matter of cleaning the dock and harbour generally, had been woe- fully negligent of their duty. Tt was all very well to speak of IlitiTation. and say that they could not do this and that. What had t,he Trustees done before litigation wais, begun ? In 1900, they spent £ 71 5s 9d in 1901. £ 86 3s: and in 1902. jen9 ]8s 7d, a, total of L277 7s 4d, or an a-ve-rao-e of £ 92 a year. Thev must remember that the Trust was constituted for THAT, VPTV purpose. Whatever the result of the 'litigation might !be, it was the duty of tha Trustees to clean the dock and harbour. It was a work that was absolutely necessary, and it would pay them to do it, because it would increase the trade of the port. At Portdinorvvic some thousands of pounds lilad been spent by I the late Mr Assheton-Smith upon improvements, » and he might remind 'the Trust that out of 72,000 tons of slates shipped from the port of Carnarvon in the twelve months ended 30th June last 64,000 tons were shipped from Port- dinorwic. It paid Mr Assbeton-Simith to do the work at Port-dinorwic, and it would pay the Trustees to do it at Carnarvon. As the were aware, there had been complaints of neglect of duty on the part of Trustees by Messrs H. Owen and Son and Messm Lake and Company. and now they heard that the necessary work could not be done because of the litigation. He asked again what had the Trustees done before that? It would be far better if the Trust were in debt to the extent of R10,000 if they had the satisfaction of knowing that the money Iliad been judiciously spent upon cleaning the harbour and dock, and improving the traffic of the port, which at present was a decaying and a dying port. Mr J. R. Pritchard supported the proposal, and said thait if the Trustees did not do some- thing, steamers would not come to Carnarvon, and that would mean a serious loss. He thooight the committee, as suggested, should be ap- pointed, and given the power to spend a cer- tain sum at onoo. The Mayor thought a definite sum ought to be named, and the modus operandi explained. No definite scheme had as yet been approved of. Mr Clegjg: The Works Committee had no rtime to come to a decision thia morning. Everyone was of opinion that something should be done. It is all very well to say that the Harbour TruSt. had done nothing in the matter. tMr Carter I did not say that taiev had done nothing. I said tha;t they had neglected their duty. Mr Clegg A sum of B277 was spent bv them. Mr Carter: Yes, out of an income of some- fchink like £ 3000. Mr Clegg went on to say that the Trustees had spent a large amount of money upon the improvement of Abermenal. which was a very necessary work. The money received by the Trustees had been spent upon the improvement of the port of Carnarvon, and their first duty was to see that the embankment at Abermonai was properly secured. That had been done, and now they were getting into a position to do what they believed was necessary. Mr Carter: In 21 years you have spent only L3000 upon the improvement of Abermenai. We have been paying outstanding debts, and that too rapidly, "instead of nursing the condi- that too rapidly, "instead of nursing the condi- tion of the port, and spending some money m judicious dredging. Mr J. Issard' Davies It is no use indulging in" rec ri mi nations. Proceeding, he said that he did not see w>h(y groynes should not be erected. Mr G. R. Rees It would be money thrown away to do all that. • Mr J. liseard Davies: We must have groynes in any case. i_ 11 Mr Wawn suggested. that the Trustees should liire a hopper- Mr !E. HutThes said tha.t now was the time to clean the dock. If they delayed for a few months it would be cummer, and he would not like to be anywhere near when the work was being done then. There were complainte every summer of the offensive smell that came from the dock. He supported the proposal of Mr Issard Davies, believing that a se-heme. of the kind proposed would ffive work to the unem- ployed. He was sorry-to have to refer again to a matter that he had previously brought to the notice of the Trust. Last Saturday a steamer conveying goods for his firm could not come alongside the warehouse, and had to go to another part of the dock, with the result that the expenditure was increased owing to the cartinl, that was necessary. Mr R. Thomas approved of the suggestion that the Town Council and the Harbour Trust should combine in order to provide work for the unemp oyed, but. the question was how I much money was going to be spent. If J3150 was sufficient, they should know. The ayor moved, as an amendment, that a. sum not exceeding J3500 be placed in the hands of the Works Committee to carry out the necessary work, and that they report to the next meeting of the Trust. I Mr R. Roberts Is the Town Council to meet the Trustees ? The Mayor: We have nothing to do with the Town Council here. Mr R. Thomas It was Mr Issaxd Davies who mentioned the Town Council, and I thought it would be a very good thing if the Council and the Trust could meet. in order to decide upon a. scheme that would give em- ployment to those who were out of work. Mr J. R. Pritchard seconded the Mayor's proposal, which, he thought, would bring them out. of the difficulty. Mr Clegg: But we haive only B95 in the bank. Mr PTitoh-ard More money will come in soon. Mr Clegg We have not got L500 to place to the credit of the committee. The Mayor It is very important that the work should be started at onoe. The com- mittee, I take it, will start with the idea of spending J3500 before they are done. Mr D. P. Williams said that it should be made clear that the scheme was not to cost more than L500. Mr J. Issard Davies and Mr Carter said that they would accept the limit of L". Eventually it was resolved that the matter be referred to the Works Committee, with power to act. Messrs Wwn and G. R. Rees were the only two members who voted against. Mr G. R. Rees said that What had been done was quite irregular. Mr J. Issard Davies: We cannot discuss that now. Mr A. Richards: What is our position with re)rard to the extension of the railway sidings to the new dock? It is most important that the railway should be extended to the new dock. Mr Wawn The railway company have done their part. Mr Richards Have we done ours Mr Clegg: No. Mr J. Issard Davies This 1- also a, matter that awaits this case to be decided (laughter). COMPLAINT AS TO A NUISANCE. A letter was read from Dr Taylor Morgan complaiming of the noise caused at Mr John Prichard's mill. Of late the noise had been getting worse, and was becoming intolerable, especially to invalids in the early hours of the morning. He had got a few fellow-sufferers to join him in his complaint. They included Lady Turner, Parkia; Mr G. R. Riees, Plas Brereton; Mrs' Maddocks, Mr JR. Roberts, Miss Sampson, etc. It was explained that this matter had been under the consideration of the Works Com- mittee, and that a letter had been read from Mr Prichard assuring tllic Trustees thtat the nuis- ance would be abated as soon as possible. The committee acoepted the assurance, and allowed a fortnight in which to carry out the necessary work at the mill to abate the nuisance. It was resolved to send a reply to that effect to Dr Taylor Morgan. SEA EROSION. A lefter from the County Council dealing with sea erosion, with particular reference to Abermenai, was referred to the chairman, vice- chairman, and the surveyor.

Aberdovey waR thrown into turmoil on Thurs- day, when a number of Parkgate fishermen de- fied the inhabitants by returning there to gather mussels. The presence of a posse of Merionethshire police, who had been despatched there, fearing another disturbance, tranquil- lised the inhabitants and .prevented open hos- tilities. tilities.

SPIDERS THAT CATCH BIRDS. Far up in the mountains of Ceylon, there is a spider that spins a web like bright yellowish silk, the central net of which is 5ft. in diameter, while the supporting lines, or guys, as they ."re called, measure sometimes 10ft. or 12ft. The spider seldom bites or stings, but should anyone try to catch him, bite he will, and, though not venomous, his jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak. Tne bodies of these spiders are very hand- somely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate-coloured fur. So strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer says that he has often sat and watched the yellow monster—measuring, when waiting for his prey, with his legs stretched out, fully six inches—striding across the middle of the net, and noted the rapid manner in which he winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the coils about the head until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle you come across skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares.

FACTS ABOUT ARRESTS. In England no arrests may be made on a Sun- day. exoept for treason, felony, or a breach of the peace; and freedom from arrest at any time on civil process is a privilege enjoyed by mem- bers of the Royal Family and their servants, Bishops, Peers and Peeresses, and Members of Parliament during the sitting of Parliament and forty days before and after each session.

0 THE SCHOOL AGE." It has been clearly ascertained that to teach very young children to read is to deprive them of nearly all chance of having their powers of rightly using their eyes, their ears, their hands, and their brains fully developed; that to bring young children into crowded rooms where there is neither enough fresh air nor enough light for them, and to keep them sitting still for half-an- hour together when they ought to be moving about, and to keep them almost silent when they ought to be constantly shouting and singing, is to deprive them of all chance of full physical de- velopment. It is said by many persons in defence of our habit of sending babies to school that the average school is more wholesome than the ave- rage town home with its slum or semi-slum sur- roundings, and that many children would have no one to look after them at home. It is an un- usually badly-ventilated home, and an impossibly badly-ventilated court, that during the daytime does not give a little child better air and more chances of movement than the ordinary school. 0

BAKERS IN FRANCE. Bakers in France are subjected to several un- usual rules and regulations. In large fortified towns, for instance, they must always have a cer- tain stock in hand in case of war. Not only this, but everywhere they have to deposit a sum of money in the hands of the municipal authorities as a surety of good conduct; and the law, not content with merely looking after their weights and measures, actually decides the price at which bread is sold. 1

AN ATROCIOUS BRIGAND. Angelo Maria, a terrible brigand in Italy, long had a price upon his head, but nobody claimed it. At last his oonduct at home became so atrocious that his mother determined to give him up. He got to know of her resolve, killed her with one blow, tore out her heart, and-ate it. Unobserved by him, his sister had watched the fiendish act. She went to the troops which were seeking him and offered to lead them to his lair. But they suspected a trap. I might have laid a trap yesterday," she said, "for yesterday I had not seen that monster eat my mother's heart." They followed her and took him. «

WORDS WORDS WORDS. Ordinary well-educated people use from 3,000 to 4,000 words in conversation. Accurate thinkers and reasoners, who avoid vague and general ex- pressions and wait till they find a word that ex- actly fits their meaning, employ, of course, a larger stock; eloquent speakers may even rise to a command of 10,000. Shakespeare, who had a greater wealth of expression than any other writer, produced all his plays with about 15,000 words. »

A DEBTOR'S SINCTUARY. Within the precincts of the Law Courts no man may be served with a writ. More men know this fact than the process-servers desire should be the case. Not long ago an applica- tion was made to commit a man who avoided service by spending his hours at the Law Courts. It was not easy to locate him; there are a thousand rooma in the Law Courts and two and a-half miles of passages up and down which elusive debtors may-thougn they should not- glide. But one bright day the truant was run to I ground. The bailiff found him and flourished his writ. No matter, the fugitive would not leavo the court, therefore he could not be served. Help was sought to make him leave, and he was I eventually cajoled into the open to have the writ thrust into his unready hand. The last laugh was with the debtor. He had not cleared the precincts of the oourt; the service was illegal. »

GIRLHOOD IN TURKEY. I Until a Turkish girl is eight years old she is free to mn about and play tne same as her brother. After that she is regarded as grown up. I She leaves school and puts on a veil. She is for- bidden to run about. No man except her father I or husband is allowed to look upon her face, and she is not permitted to go into her father's part of the house. Her parents begin to arrange far her marriage—she has nothing to say in the matter. She must be married by the time she is eleven, and her husband will probably be about seventeen. In Turkey an unmarried man or woman is unknown. Such a state is looked upon as disgraceful. »

THE LARGEST BUILDING. St. Peter's is the biggest building in the world. St. Paul's could be placed inside the great cathe- dral of Rome without blocking the way through. St. Peter's stands on an area of 240,000 square feet, with a front 400ft. broad, and a length in- side of 600ft. The cost of building the cathedral was £3,500,000 sterling-five times the cost of St. Paul's. The Vatican, which can hardly be called a single building, has 11,000 apartments, approached by 200 staircases; and there is a monastery in Madrid which has 12,000 windows and doors. But they can hardly be called single building; and. bearing this distinction in mind, the biggest building in the world is the church of the Pope at Rome. j

POISON IN FAMILIAR PLANTS. The berries of the yew have killed many per- sons, and it is pretty. well known nowadays that it is not safe to eat many peach or cherry ker- nels at once. Among the garden plants com- monly in vogue which possess a poisonous nature, botanists mention the jonquil, white hyacinth and snowdrop, the narcissus being also particu- larly deadly—so much so, indeed, that to chew a small piece of one of the bulbs may have fatal results, while the juice of the leaves is an emetic. There is enough opium in red poppies to do mis- chief, and the autumn crocus, if the blossoms are chewed, cause illness. The lobelias are all dangerous, their juice, if swallowed, producing giddiness with pains in the head. Lady's slipper poisons in the same way, as does poison ivy. The bulbs seem to be most harmful. Lilies-of-the-val- ley are also as poisonous. The leaves and flowers of the oleander are deadly, and the bark of the catalpa tree is very mischievous. The water dropwort when not in flower resembles celery, and is virulent. ».

THE MISCHIEF OF OVERTIRING BOYS. Mr. T. C. Horsfall says, in the Contemporary, that at preparatory schools and public schools boys are kept out of moral danger by being en- couraged to ovcrtire themselves. When they sit down to their books overtired they acquire a distaste and then a hatred for books. Boys ought to be kept out of mischief by living at home and feeling the combined influence of their parents and moderate wisely chosen exer- cises." Mr. Horsfall characteristically ends by saying that he is old-fashioned enough to be con- vinced that some clear religious knowledge is necessary even for the maintenance of physical health. «

FOOTBALL COLWIYN BAY v. HOLYiHEAD. tOn Saturday a league match was played at Colwyn Bay between Colwyn Bay and Holy- head. There was a fair "gate." The referee was Mr J. H. Vincent, of LLlandudnio, and his decisions which were mostly against Colwyn Bay called forth much adverse criticism from the spectators. Rightly or wrongly the sp&ct- a tors were strongly of opinion that Vincent penalised 'Colwyn (Bay for such offences that he allowed to pass unnoticed when committed for iHolyhead-possibly the sun, which was shining brightly during the first half. was in his eyes and thus made it difficult for him to watch the Holyhead men quite so closely as he did the liayites. However that may be, the spectators booed, and each time Holvhead kicked the ball over the line there arose sarcastic cries of Holyhead ball, and. strange to say, on at least one occasion 'Holyhead was, on the re- feree's decision, adlowed to throw in, which made the spectators still wilder. 'We under- stand; Colwyn Bay intends to lodge a protest- against the referee's decisions. Colwyn Bay kicked off and made a grand attack wihich they kept up. for the first quarter of an hour, pressing severly, but were muoh hampered by the referee's whistle. 'Good play was witnessed on both sides, J. LI. Owen, the IBay left forward, putting in sevpral good passing shots, from one of which his companion, Walters, scored. Then McCann had a run for the goal, but shot wide. Holyhead got Ihold of the ball and exhibited some pretty passing. A claim of "off side" was made by the Bay against iliogue, who put the ball through, but tne claim was disallowed. On restarting a penalty kick was given against the 'Bay, Bogue again scoring with a clean abut. The Bay were by this time somewhat disheartened by the referee's decisions, and the fact that Willla Jones, the inside right forward, had been disabled by a kick and was compelled to retire at half-time, which ended in favour of Holyhead 2 to 1. On recommencing, Holyhead made the most of their advantage in numbers and pressed the iBay severely. A corner was given against the Bay, and Hughes handled the ball but failed to stop it passing between the posts. Shortly afterwards Holyhead, who were now enjoying themselves, did some neat passing work and registered a fourth goal. Then Campbell began to play forward in W. Jones's tilac-e. For some time Holyhead was unable to get near the Bay goiail on account of being "off side," and the Bay repeatedly threatened the visitors' goal. J IL1. Owen made one or two good attempts to score, and Walters also, but failed. Then a foul was given against Holyhead, and, iE. Wil- liams put the second goal through for the Day. Holyhead now began to got vexed, and Space, the left back, was instructed by his captain, 0. B. Edwards, to plav forward. Presently, Campbell was disabled by a kick, and the Day iplayed) with nine mem for a time. Then Walters was laid out, but recovered in a few minutes. Moss Jones and McCartn now worked hard, and MCCann experienced hard luck more than once. Holyhead, from a goal kick. rushed into the'Bay territory, and scored their fifth goal shortly before the whistle blew, the game thus ending Holyhead, 5 Colwyn iBay, 2. In spite of the bad luck experienced by the Bay, and the referee's decisions, it muist be said that Holyhead had the best team on the field. They played well together, and showed good judgment, which is what seems to be lacking in the'Bay team. Colwyn Bay has some good men this season, but they lack that com- binationanod judgment which only comes by practice. The opposing teams were —^Colwyn \Bay —' 'Goal W. IE. riughes; backs IE.

THE Emperor of Japan draws a regular salary from the treasury of £ 600,000, and out of this he is expected to pay the expenses of his household. His private fortune is not supposed to be used for the purpose of keeping up his state, and since the Emperor is of a frugal mind the sum answers its purpose fully. THE British crown is made up of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, and emeralds, set in silver and gold bands. It weighs 39oz. and 5dwt. troy. In it there are 3,452 diamonds. 273 pearls, 9 rubies, 17 sapphires, and 11 emeralds.
