Ways Without Mishap.
Chrlstened by Miss Stephenson--GIg
Flag hsssatsd by Children,

San Francisco, Nov. 26.--Today at the
Union Iron works another great marine
fighting machine was added To the al
ready large feet of Pacific war vessels.
The vessel which slid from the ways to-
day was the battleship Wisconsin, the
largest of the vessels built FOR the Uni
ted States government by the Union
Iron Works. The launching OF the big
vessel was effected without a hitch and
she now rests calmly on the waters OF
the bay. ~ /.
For over an hour before the plunge
a large force of workmen tore away
chock after Chock which supported the
vessel and they finished their task al
most to the minute Of the prescribed
time for the launching. leaving only
one chOck to restrain the monster, ana
this was the support that little Miss
Lucille Gage, daughter OF the governor
elect of he state, had ben assigned 10
remove by the means OF guillotine
and the inevitable electric button. At
given signal the little miss pressed
the button. and the crash of breaking
timbers announced to the thousands OF
anxious spectators that the vessel was
about to leave the ways. SloWly the
great steel hull moved towards the bay.
and all eyes turned TO watch Miss Eli
zabeth Stephenson break the bottle OF
tn0lNDdSnt upon the DOW VI lilt Nts'pei.
Just as the mass OF iron and steel
touched the water the fair christener
reached the ribbon -bedecked bottle and
let il split on the nose of the vessel.
The roar OF applause which greeted the
final act was almost deafening.
The vessel gathered momentum as
she proceeded to the water and after
leaving the ways hoated calmly along
until brought to a stop in the basin.
where the work of completing her Will
go on.
Prior to the launching a gigantic flag
of the Union. measuring p feet in
length and IL feet wide was presented
in honor of the Wisconsin. The flag was
the result of the combined effort of 300
children of the Irving NJ. Scott public
school who at the suggestion of their
teachers commenced work upon the
flag on October % of this year.
Following the presentation OF the
flag a poem ITO The Wisconsin" was

A Thoughtful Letter and Valuable

To the Editor of the Enterprise:
1t is said that the. report OF the Hail

an Incorporated association with officers,
bylaws and expenses which these will
entail. 1t also ecomm ends the 10 tiOn
OF any balance not used up us IL perma-
nent fund for future years. This seems
II very Questionable feature.
Perhaps this is the simplest and most
satisfactory method-many people think
not.
It is quite possible to manage tho in
surance department with less expense
and less red tape by having n printed
form worded so MS to be binding on tho
signer, something like this:
II authorize the directors OF the Rocky
Ford Melongrowers' association to de-
duct 49,. percentage OF all funds to be
credited to me this season Tor g.. per
acre on -. acres) and credit tho insur-
ance fund with the amount. hereby
bine myself to abide by all rules to he
adopted for the disposal Of said fund"
The directors to be empowered tu nuke
such rnles rs may seem most desirable,
by and with the advice aud consent of II
committee to be chosen by members of
the association next Saturday. Those
rules to be ratified or modified ut n meet
ing OF the association to be held in two
weeks.
These rules shall cover the following
points:
The amount Of percentage or the sum
per acre to be deducted from the account
Of each member who mny wish to be-
come beneficiary.
The acreage to be subscribed for to be
not more than the acreage to be paid for
in case OF loss.
more who shall appraise the damages in
all cases.
The appraisers to be chosen from dill
erent localities in tho county, by the
growers in each locality.
Whether two-thirls. three fourtlis or
the full value shall be paid for.
The crop to be ut the disposal OF the
owner nfter apprnisement.
The compensation of tho board OF up
praisers.
The insurance fund to be used only to
pay losses by hail and any necessary
expenses, such MS appraisemcnt.
Any balance Of tho insurance fund rc-
manning on Oct. lst to be prorated

Fears were expressed that continu-

But he ncglects to insert the following.
which is separated from tue foregoing
only by comma:
"but these fears seem 70 have been
groundless as the latter paintings are
coming up nicely"
He then proceeds to say that he Is sor-
