Reading of the Pacific steam fleet voyage echoes earlier gold rush routes
The article recalls mid nineteenth century experiments with ocean steamers and coastwise vessels bound for California during the gold rush. It contrasts fragile river types like the Governor Dana and New World with later sturdier ships, detailing voyages, losses, and the shift to regular lines linking Atlantic and Pacific routes as clipper ships proved their value.

Thirty-Nine Trades Make One Coat Says Labor Study
The U S Bureau of Labor reports it requires thirty nine different trades to produce a single coat under modern shop manufacture. Distinct specialists handle button marking, buttonholes, sleeves, armholes, shoulders, collars, seams, linings, and pressing, totaling 39 workers per coat. From sheep to wearer, about three thousand fingers likely touched the garment. Panama Locks May Be Widened explains Goethals and Blackburn arrival in Washington, noting the Panama Canal Commission favors widening locks to suit naval needs, with a 100 foot width viewed as sufficient for future mercantile and naval traffic. Col Goethals says naval expediency will guide any expansion beyond 100 feet.
