 It is pointed out by an authority that if coaling station at such re- mcte point as the Samoan islands is to be of any use it must be able to de- fend itself in time of war. It must be fortified and there must be a garrison constantly on duty at the post. Then. if the station is to be in the highest de- gree efficient. it must have dry dock and repair shops capable of doing any ordinary repair work aboard ship. In other words, the United States must establish a small colony at each coal ing station she owns outside of her own territory, just as England has done for so many years.-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

 Both men left widows, and both wid- ows want a pension. The relict of the one who was discharged but still served for his friend claims the pen sion because her husband rendered the service, while the other claims that the records show her husband to have been the one who enlisted and served
 It looks as if both claims will be rejected. The one who really served has no military record and his claim cannot be proved, while the one who deserted is left in a worse predica- ment

WILL SOON BE DISSOLVED.
Necessity for the Naval War Board
 No Longer Exists.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Now that the war is practically at an end and there is no longer any special occasion for the continued existence of the naval strategy or war board, that body will be dissolved. The board is composed of Rear Admiral Montgomery Sicard, Captain A. T. Mahan, retired, and Cap tain Crowninshield, with Assistant Secretary Allen as president ex offlcio. The last named official, owing to his limited technical knowledge of naval warfare, relinquished the actual presi dency of the board to Admiral Sicard, and that officer and Captain Mahan, who has a worldwide reputation as naval strategist, were the real guiding spirits of the organization. Captain Mahan was summoned home from Eu- rope to serve on the board. Captain Crowninshield was unable to give his undivided attention to the work of the board because most of his time was engrossed in his regular duties as chief of the bureau of navigation, notwith- standing he had the benefit of large number of able assistants, including Captain F. W. Dickins, who made such a good record while in charge of the bureau during the exciting crisis fol- lowing the destruction of the battle ship Maine in the harbor of Havana
 At that time Admiral Sicard was in command of the North Atlantic squad ron assembled at Key West. His health failed him shortly afterward, and he was succeeded in command by Admiral Sampson. A short season of

 Admiral Sicard will retire for age at the end of next month, and it is prob able he will be given leave of absence until that time to enable him to recup- crate from his exhausting labors of the summer. Captain Mahan will prob ably return to Europe to complete the preparation of literary work upon which he was engaged when called back into the naval service. His was war assignment and ended with the termination of hostilities
 The work performed by the board was more important than is generally known
 Its strategic nature made it neces- sarily secret. Although not officially announced, it is generally understood that the board is entitled to a great share of the credit for the conduct of the naval operations in the West h. dies, including the blockade of Cuban ports and the pursuit, capture and de struction of Admiral Cervera's fleet. Perfect harmony existed between the board and Adimral Sampson They were in constant communication, and Admiral Sampson's plans to prevent the escape of the Spanish fleet from the harbor of Santiago are said to have been submitted to and approved by the board prior to the Sd of July, when the entire Spanish fleet was destroyed while making a desperate break for freedom during the temporary absence of Admiral Sampson.

 Two friends from the same town en- listed in 1861 on the same day and at the same place. In fact, they went in to the service together.

A VOLUNTEER CROP.

A little care and foresight some
times pays a man well as has been il
lustrated in the case Of Ray Andrus
who plants rice near town. After
planting his regular crop of rice, he
noticed piece of ground that had
been planted in rice last year and had
come up rather thick in volunteer
rice. Although cattle had grazed it
down pretty close and it was about
the middle Of May, Mr.. Andrus, who
is practical farmer, conceived the
idea of nclos in his land and try
what could be made of it-even
though it should be cut for hay. On
about thirteen acres he has cut and
harvested 204 sacks of excellent rice
at comparatively little expense, which
