Port Orchard Dry Dock "a Failure

The government dry dock at Port Or.
chard, which is the largest in the United
States and cost over $1,000 is said to be
failure. 1t is 675 feet in length 1856
feet in width, was commenced in 1892
and completed but a few months ago
Byron Barlow x Co., of Tacoma, were
the contractors, and A. b. Wyckoff, Of
this city, then lieutenant in the navy,
represented the government at Port Or
chard. during the early part of the con.
structon work.
A short time ago the battleship Oregon
was taken there for repairs and cleaning
She grounded before she could be gotten
on the dock, and now comes the an
| nouncement that work has been suspend
ell and she will be taken to the Mare Is.
land navy yard where the necessary over
| hauling will be completed. The cause OF
| the change is said TO be danger Of the col
lapse of the dock. This is denied in sew.
eral quarters but evidently something is
radically wrong or the ship would not
have been taken off 80 hurriedly. The
following statement on the subject is
published by the Tacoma News:
A report signed by the commander Of
| the Oregon and the commander Of the
| dock is now on the way to Washingt on,
D. c., fully detailing the circumstances
of the docking Of the wsrship, in which
| report, it is alleged positively, the dock
| is represented as being an imminent dan
ger OF going to pieces If another large and
heavy vessel is locked there. 1t is claim
ed that the ground upon which the dock
| is built is not suitable for such a strLc-
ture, the foundation being nothing but a
loose formation resembling quicksand
and that the hills around the dock and
yards are full of springs, which have a
tendency to weaken the Foundation of the
dock. The concrete foundation, instead
Of resting upon hardpan or rock bot
tom, rests in this soft and sliding earth,
and when the Oregon's weight was left
on the dock it began to settle to such an
alarming extent that the vessel was hur-
riedly tlOated and taken out.
1t is intimated that the site is bad
one tor the purpose, and some uncharita-
BILE persons whisper that the politicians
who procured its location at Port Orchard
were more interested in making lucky
real estate deal for themselves than in
selecting a suitable location for govern
ment navy yard and dry dock. 1t is
also intimated by these DIRECTORS that
the contract, which was let TO Byron
Barlow K Co., OF Tacoma. was in the
nature of political soft snap, and that
the sum of money appropriated by the
government to pay the bill was muniti.
cent as compared with the results.

named for the opening of the program
every seat in the house was occupied,
both ia the body of the house and the

credit was shown more strongly by the
applause and tenor Of the remarks of the

were in the main strong, well considered
and evidencing much originality of
thought as well as keen research. They
were above the average papers read on
such occasions and in several instances
considerable dramatic and oratorical skill
was displayed in their delivery. Each
graduate was the recipient of hearty ap-

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catsrrh to be con.
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

The glories of Thermopylae have faded
before the present cringing attitude of
Greece who has humbly asked the pow
ers to intercede and save her from the
unspeaksble Turk. Much OF the sympa-
thy which was at first felt for the Hell
lenes has been disspated with the dis
gust which has arisen over their repeated
and unnecessary retreats in a contest
which had been OF their own counting.
1t may have been largely the fault of the
commanders but the heroism Of the rank
and file was missing and from start to
finish they made sorry spectacle in the
field. The valor Of the Greeks will not
again inspire the muses., for the cold
guard, ," which left so many monuments
OF courage, daring and gsllantry, has
passed away tor ever, to be replaced by 8
mongrel lot who retains none OF the spar
tan spirit which has called forth the ad.

laws are enforced for all positions con-
nected with asylums and reformatories.

quired to pass an examination to prove
their fitness for the office they seek but
