my house was very different from that of the
theater. My father had never seen play in
his life, and, while my mother, who had

subject of the theater was rarely mentioned

Washington, April 28.-The naval pro-
gram for 1905 as presented in the naval
appropriation bill and accompanying re-
port, hled to day by Chairman Foss of the
house naval committee, Is one OF unusu-
al interest.
Little Fighting Value.,3-,sg
The report does not take as optimistic
q view Of our naval prowess as is general
ly held, and Mr.. Foss points out that COM
peratively few of our ships have any real
fighting value.
He accompanies this with statement
of the enormous naval armament and
programs Of other countries, particularly
Germany.
1t is shown by the report that the total
number Of vessels of our navy, built and
building, is 1888, and the total cost VIII
be $235, 082,2 09. The report adds:
While we have built and are building, all
told, 1913 ships, yet comparatively few OF
them have any real fighting value Our naval
prowess lies almost entirely In our eighteen
battleships, eight armored cruisers, and twen-
ty-one protected cruisers. The rest OF our
ships would cut but little figure in actual
war Ships of the battle line practically alone
determine the naval strength of a nation.

The Menace of German Strength. T

Referring to the foreign naval program
the reports avs:
OF all the countries, Germany has been
building during the last few years faster
than any Of the others. Her ship-building
program started in 1898 and will be COM
pleted in 1908, possibly in 1907, instead Of
1916, as first planned. This program will give
her in all thirty eight battlcships, fourteen
large cruisers, thirty eight smaller cruisers,
and ninety torpedo boats. After the COM
pletion OF this program the plan .contemplates
new constructions to replace ships which,
though still serviceable, may have reached
the prescribed age limit.

Shall We Celebrate q?

With the fourth OF July only
four weeks away it is time some
action should be taken in regard
to a celebration. We have cele-
brated every year for several
years and each year the celebra-
ton has been o success. From
the present outlook the pros
poets OF a splendid crop are
brighter than ever before. The
people are ready for it and il
work is begun now Miller can
have the best celebration in her
history. Whether a field day be
the program OF the day, or a
good old celebration with a par
ade, orator and fireworks be the
choice, may be decided later, but
definite steps towards one or the
other should be taken immedi-
ately.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1902-06-05

Never before at this season OF
the year have the prospects OF a
bumper crop been so bright as
they are at present. The whole
country is covered with a mag
nificent mantle of green. There
is already a plentiful supply OF
moisture in the soil and the fire.
quent rains are constantly add
ing to it. All kinds of grains
are in fine condition and the
grass crop was never better.
The rains this week have de-
stroyed all prospects of the usu-
al June dry spell and if we es-
cape the occasional hot winds
Of early July, Hand county will
have the greatest crop in her
history.

a petition for relocating the

tensiveIy circulated the first part
Of the week. 1t il to be hoped
that some such move will actual
ly materialize. Every year the
drainage question becomes more
important and as long as q well
is maintained in town it will re-
main unremedied. To locate the
well on the outskirts of the town
will undoubtedly cost something,
but when the fact that it is al
most impossible for residents
near the well to maintain caves

health may in time become en-
dangered, is considered, the in
creased cost will be thought very
light.

Circus Day.

Tomorrow is circus day and
all kinds of work should be sus.
pended. Miller has not been
visited by a circus for three or
four years and the people are
feeling just right for one. With
splendid PROSPECTS for a crop in
sight, the heaviest part of the
spring work finished and every
body feeling good, the whole
county should put on their glad
rags lay aside their work, and
come to town with the expecta-
tions OF a good time. Even if
the old folks are not interested.
they ought to remember how the
children are excited by the fam
ing banners, courtly horsemen
and horsewomen in gIittering
uniforms, gaudy wagons and
chariots, beautiful women facing
Wild beasts, noisy bands and the
huge, awkward, but interesting
elephants. Then too, they
should remember how the chill
dren love to watch the crowds,
buy circus candy and red lemon
ade, and see the great circus it.
self afterwards. BY all means
come and be young again.
