"The passage of the ship subsidy bill
would result, within ten years, in es-
tablishing the maritime supremacy of
the United States in trade with Asia,
and in the Gulf of Mexico and che
Caribbean, in securely establishing
trade between the United States and
South American republics and would
give the United States respectable
representation in the North Atlantic
1t would transfer to the United States
the center of the ship building indus
try and would insure to this country a
measure Of maritime independence
corresponding to her industrial and
agricultural independence.
"The postal subsidy features would
enable the postmaster general to es-
tablish an American ocean mail sys-
TEN superior to the systems of Great
Britain, Germany and France. The
provisions of the bill correct errors in
the act of 1891 in the light of the de-
cade's progress in ship building and of
the changed political and commercial
relations of the United States with
the rest of the world. 1t will not on
ly involve much ship building but it
will render the United States as inde-
pendent of the foreign powers for its
ocean mail service as is Great Britain
and will give to the United States
The Grit-advocate., 1902-03-28

forty-two auxiliary cruisers as com.
pared with Great Britian's fifty.
"The cost of the American mail SER
vice, by American mail steamers, will
be s4,7O0,OOO: the cost OF the British
and colonial service by British mail
steamers is s4.7OO,OOO. Receipts from
ocean postage by the United States
are now estimated at s3,000,0O0. The
annual deficit under the new Ameri-
can system proposed, including minor
services, will be about S2,0O0,00O, or
1888, 900 less than the annual deficit
under the British and colonial system.
Even if the expense of the American
ocean mail system should exceed re-
ceipts by S2,OOO,OOO, in view Of the
large national and commercial inter-
ests served thereby, the expenditure
would be abundantly justified.
"With regard to that portion of the
bill which provides for direct bounties
to vessels, both steaming and sailing,
which do not carry mails, the system
of direct bounties is the only means of
affording them assistance without q
violation of treaty pledges; but the
bill does not provide for naked bOun-
ty, for the subsidy is based upon SER
vices rendered in return. As Ameri-
cans now have absolutely free trade in
foreign going ships no ship builders

trust is possible under the bill and, as
ship builders can import, free of duty,
materials for ships for foreign trade.
no combination to raise prices of ma
terial is practicable. If an American
ship owner will build his vessel in the
United States, employing home labor,
employing American officers and crews.
performing certain services for the
American government; and using the
vessel to promote American COM
merce, he will be paid subsidy sutfic-
lent to put him on equality with for
eign ship owners employing foreign
labor and serving foreign govern
ment.
''rhe deep sea fisheries bounty is to
encourage an industry which, from
the battle of Lexington to the battle
of Santiago, has furnished more men
proportionately for the national de-
tense than any other American indus

Letter to ID. n. Dixon.

Dear Sir: James Ackley's house in
Cairo (Catskill Mountains), N. Y, a
conspicuous one in the midst of the
village, was painted IA years ago with
Deyoe; has not been painted since;
and the paint is in good condition to
day. He is going to paint but there
is really no necessity of it,
Devoe has been sold in Cairo IS
years. Our agent is CASTOR Wyn-
koop. House owners there want De-
voc, and painters there paint Devoe
1t would be hard job to persuade a
Cairo man to paint lead and oil-of
course a painter paints whatever his
customer wants, even if it's butter
milk.
Marion Van Hoesen, a Cairo paint
err, has painted Devoe for Is years.
There are two or three others; all for
Devoe, we are told-don't know their
names.
It's the same wherever Devoe gets
into town; it stays there and owns
the whole business. =.
Yours truly,
Is F. w. DEvoE & Co.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July o.
Chairman Babcock, of the Republi-
can Congressional Committee, is
speeding eastward after a trip to Wis
consin, to establish headquarters in
New York city for the coming cam
paign. He will be joined in a few
days by Secretary Overstreet and
other members of the executive com
mittee, and the work of the commit
tee will begin promptly.
As he came through Chicago Chair
man Babcock announced the general
outline of the work for the campaign.
He said the literary feature of this
campaign would be subordinated to
speech making. Probably not more
than dozen speeches in Congress
will be circulated, embracing the sub
jects of tariff, trusts and the Philip
pines. The number of copies of each
speech sent out will range from $4,000
to 100000, while in former campaigns
10000 copies was a small order. Two
Democratic speeches, by Tillman and
Wheeler, of Kentucky, he announced,
would be circulated by the Republi-
cans, to show the Democratic animus
on certain topics.
The Republican handbook will not
be out for several weeks, and it will
be designated mainly for the use of
the army of orators who will be put
into the field. A speakers bureau is
to be established in New York, prob
ably in charge of Col. Henry CassOn.
1t will be the aim of this bureau to
provide stump speakers for every dis
trict and county where the Republi-
cans purpose to make fight.
There will be labor orators for New
Jersey and Pennsylvania; antitrust
orators for agricultural districts; Ger
man, Scandinavian and Italian ora
tors.
Persons in close touch with Chair
man Babcock and his associates of
the executive committee say the Re-
publican managers are confident of
winning the campaign. They know
where the Congressional seats are to
be obtained and how they will go
about it to get them.
The Republican management has
had ample experience. Practically
the same men now in control have
won four consecutive Congressional
battles. Their forces are well organ
lied in every district. In many OF
the states, it is said, the same machin.
cry is in existence which did the work
six years ago.

A NEW CORPORATION.
The Garrett Real Estate Company
of Garrett County
Formed.
$4,000 OF HOME CAPITAL INTERESTED
The Object of the Corporation Is To Buy
and Sell Real Estate in the Develop
ment ald Improvement of Garrett

A corporation under the laws of the
State of Maryland to be known as the
Garrett Real Estate Company of Gar
rett County with a capital stock of
$4,000 was formed in Oakland Mon
day.
The object of the association is to
buy and sell real estate in the devel-
opment and improvement of the
county.
The company as soon as some un-
finished preliminary matters are ar
ranged will be in a position to handle
large or small parcels of land, farms,
improved or unimproved town prop
erty and other real estate.
The incorporators are Surveyor OF
the Port R. A. Ravenscroft, of Acct
dent; w. Taylor Sines, of near Oak
land; John E. Gnagey, of Accident;
Chas. E. Hilleary, of Gormania; Mer-
rift Wilson, of Wilson; A. g. Sturgiss,
Fred. A. Thayer, Mayor Harry j.
Frear and Edward H. Sincell, of Oak
land The incorporators constitute
the Board of Directors for the first
yeal.
The officers elected are as follows:
President, r. A. Ravenscroft; A. g.
Sturgiss, treasurer, and Fred. A.
Thayer secretary.
On August 16 the Board of Directors
will meet to apportion the stock
among the subscribers which is divid-
ed into four hundred shares at 800
each.
The need of such an organization
has long been felt in this county.
Lands for sale can be more readily
handled by such a corporation than
by individuals as land and Investment
companies always keep in close touch
with the market and are in a position
to become better known to investors
than an individual.
The era of prosperity and develop
ment is at hand in Garrett county
and the new company there is nc
doubt realizes this fact, hence its or,
ganization.

Lee Brooke, who has for several
months past conducted barber shop
in the Nelson building on Alder street
in Oakland, was placed under arrest
Monday morning by Sheriff Maffett
upon a warrant charging him with
bigamy. The warrant was sworn out
before Justice a. b. Gender by Mrs.
Brooke No. I, whose home is in Nc
Keesport. Pa, and to whom Brooke
was married on November ), 1896, and
with whom he lived for about two
and one-half years in McKeesport,
where Brooke's father, Will Brooke,
a son of the late Alfred G. Brooke, of
Mountain Lake Park, resided at the
time.
Brooke came to this section early
in the spring of 1901, palming himself
off as a single man, and located at
Mountain Lake Park where he mar
ried in July of the same year Maggie
May Kisner and with whom he has
lived ever since. Early last fall he
came to Oakland and opened bar
Der shop, installing hot and cold
water baths, fitting out his shop in
pretty good style and gaininga profit
able trade
Some five or six weeks ago States
Attorney Thayer received an intima-
ton that Brooke was not "straightn
and he begun an investigation which
brought to light the fact that he had
a wife at McKeesport whose maiden
name was Nellie B. Mcclure, to whom
he was married on Nov. ), 1896, and
who deserted her in July, 1900. Mrs.
Brooke came to Mt. Lake Park in
company with her father few days
ago and on Monday as stated above
the warrant was sworn out and his
arrest followed.
The accused was given a prelimi-
nary hearing Monday afternoon by
Justice Gender. Brooke was con-
fronted by wife No I, his two aunts,
Mrs. Emma Dean, of Ohio, and Mrs.
James A. Enlow, of Mountain Lake
Park, all of whom gave damaging
testimony against him. Mr.. Mcclure,
his father-in-law, was also present at
the hearing. In addition to the oral
testimony of the witnesses a copy of
the marriage certificate of wife No.
obtained from the Board of Health at
McKeesport was exhibited and also a
certified copy of the marriage license
and minister's return to the Circuit
Court for this county showing his
second marriage was placed in evil
dence.
He was held under a bond of $500
for his appearance at the Circuit
Court in September when his trial
will occur. Being unable to furnish
the requisite bond he was remanded
to Jail.
The penalty for bigamy is a term of
five to ten years in the penitentiary,
in the discretion of the court trying

Compound Engines to Go,

The compound locomotives in SER
vice on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road system are being altered to sim
pie engines as fast as they are sent to
the shops for repairs. The perform
ance of this class of locomotives has
not been as satisfactory as that of the
simple type, and the road is now 60
ing back to first principles. One of
the reasons for making the change is
the fact that the engines of the COM
pound type take so much longer to
repair.
The Baltimore and Ohio has about
270 compound engines in service.
About 700 locomotives are owned by
the road. Of these fully half have
been bought within the last decade,
and the company is now awaiting the
commencement of the delivery of $50
engines ordered from the American
Locomotive Works.

UP IN CANADA.
John STARTER Writes of His Journey to
Nome, Alaska.

Nome, Alaska.
DAWSON, Y. T., CANADA, June 30.
To the Editor of The Republican.
On Wednesday, June IS, at II p. H.,
| sailed from Seattle and arrived at
Ketchikan, Alaska, Saturday morn
ing. Ketchikan is the first Alaskan
town and is the SUPPORT of entry; is
located on Evillagigedo Island; has
one church, two hotels, two saw mills,
one cannery and newspaper. Ketch-
kan is about $50 miles from Seattle.
Our next stop was at Petersburg, a
small town on Mitkoff Island, in
Wrangle Narrows. Here we saw sal
mon packed to be shipped to Ham
burg, Germany. On Sunday morn
ing we arrived at Juneau, one of the
Oldest towns in Alaska, which has a
population of about $500. Directly
across the Gastinean Straits from
Juneau is Douglas Island, where is
situated the celebrated Treadwell
mine and spreading out along the
ground from the mine worked is the
town of Douglas City. 1t is not quite
so large as Juneau, but contains good
hotels, large mercantile establish
ments and of course the ever-present
saloons and dance houses that go to
make up mining camp. Many ma
tives are employed in the Treadwell
mine at good wages and the Indian
village there is large and prosperous.
The Treadwell mine is one of the
largest in the world.
On Sunday evening about o'clock
we arrived at Skagway, located at
the mouth of Skagway River and the
head Lynn Canal, one thousand miles
north of Seattle. 1t is the southern
terminus of the White Joss g. Yukon
Railroad. 1t is the gateway to the
gold fields of the Yukon Territory
and Alaska. Here we stayed all night
and on Monday morning at $50 we
took the train for White Horse, ar
Nv III UllCIC al D.OO III Tic i.
White Horse is the Yukon terminus
of the W., p. & Y. R. R. 1t is situa-
ted Ill miles from Skagway and at
the head of navigation on the Lower
Yukon. We sailed for White Horse
on the steamer Selkerk on Tuesday
about noon and arrived at Dawson,
the Klondike capital about mid
night Wednesday. 1t will be seen
that notwithstanding the fact that
we were delayed at several places we
made the trip from Seattle to Dawson
in less than week.
In many respects the history of
Dawson is the most wonderful known
to modern times and, indeed, only
the commercial advancement Of the
present age makes such historyIpos-
sible. A trifie more than four years
since Dawson was unthought of. To
day we see in the markets all kinds OF
fruits such as strawberries, peaches,
apples, also tomatoes, cabbage, let
tuce-all at reasonable prices. Flour
is sold at 81 per barrel, Is pounds OF
sugar for 81, butter 1926 per pound,

No Luck About 1t.

There is no luck about advertising,
no chance, no scheme. 1t is legiti-
mate, straightforward business from
beginning to end, from the day the
campaign is started clear up to the
close of business at the finish. Ad-
vertising is a legitimate, reasonable
means of gaining an end The adj
vertisement which appeals best is
that which is planned with the great
est intelligence, contains the greatest
volume of honest intention and speaks
in frank, unequivocal words about
reliable goods and about the careful,
painstaking methods of those who
are handling the business; presents
in the best way logical arguments for
the purchase of goods from the mer-
chant in question. This is advertis-
ing that viii pay, that cannot help it.

a member of Company G, Tenth Penn
sylvania Regiment, during the Span
ish-American War, who was badly
hurt near Selbysport a number of
weeks ago by falling beneath the
wheels of heavily ladened wagon
upon which he was hauling crossties,
died recently as result of the injur-
