CLAIMS OF CLALLAM BAY.
A Local Paper Talks About the Har-
hor of Refuge.

Dor OF Refuge.
Reprinted by request from the East Clal-
lam Record.
The secretary OF war has recommended
that a survey be made OF Neah bay for
the purpose Of making that bay a har-
Dor of refuge.
The natural harbor of refuge near the
entrance to the straits Is Ciallam bay.
Vessels make 1t their headquarters in
bad weather right along. and have been
doing so for years. During the present
week. for instance. nearly dozen large
vessels were anchored here. Yet, instead
OF trying to improve the already naturally
good harbor the government officials pro-
pose TO go elsewhere and make a need
less expensive outlay. Why not improve
the harbor already used as a port OK
refuge? This sort OF government BUSH
ness Is on a par with the case Of man
who spends money to dig we'll along
side of a lake of good water. The excuse
given for the plan Of wasting extra ex-
pense at Neah bay Is that OF distance.
But that argument Is not sound. for the
reason that II vessel can sail out OF
Neah bay the same breeze would have
taken her out OF Clailam, and il she has
TO be towed out the expense OF towage
from either port Is Just the same. It Is
an indisputable fact that Clallam bay
has been and Is now exceedingly useful
to Puget sound shipping and TO the COM
merce of the Pacific coast; yet never
dollar has been spent by the government
for fog signals. lighthouse. buoys or any
thing else. and now when 1t is proposed
to do something for the protection OF
vessels at the entrance to the straits In
stead of improving the port that has been
the standby OF sailors for years. the gov
eminent goes elsewhere to make an arti-
fetal harbor at double the cost It need
be at Claliam.

from a success. although 1t did roll at
the rate OF six miles an hour In still

cylinder Ito feet long. which progressed
by rotating bodily. 1t was like a log
rolling on the water. The platforms
on which the engines and boilers trav-
eled by Hanged wheels on circular
tracks around the interior of the cylin-

This is something on the principle

Decorate the School Room

The exhibit of school room decora-
lions, which is now in progress in Chi
cago, says the Washington Post, is a
step in the right direction. 1t has it's
lesson for our Washington schools.
While we build structures that are
pleasing from an architectural point of
view and modern in their hygienic de-
vices, we are apt to give too little at
tention to the attractions of the school
room itself. Bare walls, save where
the forbidding blackboard is hung, are
the boundaries of the pupils vision, no
thought being given to the best method
Of so furnishing the room as to make
it delight to the eye and an elevation
of the mind. 1t is true that there are
some exceptions here in Washington,
where teachers have, at their own ex-
pense, supplied bright and fragrant
flowers and appropriate pictures, and
thus beautified an otherwise cheerless
apartment Thousands and thousands
Of children spend several hours each
