TIE United States transport Ches-
ter, which had 80 much experience
upon recent visit to Savannah, is in
trouble again When she was twen-
ty Eve miles out from Havana on her
way back to the Georgia port she
broke her propeller and arrived off
Tybee in disabled condition. It
will be necessary to put her in dry
dock before the damage can be re-
paired, and it may be that sbes will
be sent TO the dry dock at Port Royal,
although there is disposition In
official circles to send her to Havana
for repairs Wherever she is sent, it
is hoped that an effort will be made
to find out whether it is not likely
that her propeller was hurt when she
stuck in the mud in the Savannah
River. Perhaps her bottom will drop
out next, and we submit that it would
be safer to FIX her up at Port Royal
than to run the risk of voyage to
Havana If it is not the purpose of
the government to nse the dry dock
at Port Royal, the dry dock ought
to be moved where It will be used

from Wilson, Clarendon county, S

the extension will make the road u

FIRE CHIEFS HERE.
They Came to See That Fire Depart
ments Are Not Dragged Into
Politics.

The chiefs of the salaried fire depart
ments of Kansas met in Topeka today
to discuss matters of general interest
to the several departments.
Chief L. H. Norman of Kansas City,
Kan, invited the several chiefs to meet
for the purpose of advising together.
Those present were L. H. Norman, Kan
sas City; Cyrus Sprague, Leavenworth;
A. G. Weldon, Wichita, Samuel Forter,
Volunteer Firemen's association; A. P.
Elder, ex-chief of the Ottawa depart
ment.
Chief Norman thought that perhaps
some legislation might be needed re-
garding the fire departments of the
state and wished to consult with the
other chiefs.
Since the Kansas City department
has been placed under a board Of fire
and police commissioners there has been
some fear that the fire departments of
as have different police departments
and that such a procedure would be the
ruination of the departments as it was
with the police.
After the meeting held this morning
it was decided that there was nothing
to do and the several chiefs left for
their homes. Chief Wilmarth of Topeka
said: This was simply a meeting of
the different chiefs to talk matters over.
We have no organization and we do
not wish it to appear that we are med
ding in politics, for if there is anything
that our departments can boast of it is

TO START A COUNTRY CLUB
A Summer Resort Proposed by En- |
terprising Citizenn.

Several public spirited citizens have
interested themselves in an earnest ac-
ton to establish a country club some
where in the neighborhood of Topeka.
The Journal hopes that the effort will
meet with success. Such an institution
properly located and managed would
afford continual pleasure and enter
tainment not only to ladies and gentle
men who live here but to their guests
and prominent people who come to the
capital city from other portions of Kan
SaS and the United States.
Topeka has several sites eligible for the
sort of a project. Perhaps none is bet
ter than Martins Hill, one of the most
beautiful spots in this vicinity and af-
fording an unsurpassed view, proximity
to the river, and adjacent to what could
be made a fine grove. There is no end
to the variety of recreation such as BIZ
cycle meets, tournaments, tennis, golf,
etc, which could be centered about a
country club of the kind proposed. In
the future it would not be impossible to
construct a. dam across the Kansas riV-
er at Martins Hill for the purpose of
affording fine boating and skating in
season.
Hinged about the country club plan
could be a riverside drive to it, bicycle
paths, wayside parks, rustic bridges
over railroads and ravines and no end
of attractive spots and breathing places
for the public.
With this project in mind a meeting
has been called to be held at the Hotel
of gentlemen have received the follow
ing letter on this subject from Col. w.
H. Rossington;
81 have been requested to address a
letter to yourself and some others TO
meet in the hotel parlOrs of the Throop
hotel on Wednesday evening, January
% at o'clock in an informal way for
the purpose of discussing the question
whether it be feasible or possible to or
ganize a Country club in the neighbour
hood of the city of Topeka
THE title to Martins Hill property
has just passed through the courts ard
is now in the First National bank Of
this city, and 1 am satisfied that it
could be either leased or purchased rea-
sonably; and there may be other desir-
able sites sufficiently near the city to be
used for this purpose.
THE scheme of the club involves club
house, plainly but tastefully construct
ed, and the laying out of tennis courts
and golf links, and the providing of 9TH
er means of open air amusement
1.-THE thing needed by the citizens of
Topeka is some place to go to in the
pleasant weather which prevails the
larger part of the year here, and some
thing to do after they get there.
1.-The object of this meeting is to dis
cuss the ways and means of accomp-
fishing this if it be possible.
I'VE trust you will find it convenient
to be present and to lend your aid and
counsel in devising a scheme for the es-
Establishment of Topeka Country club. -
