BAR DREDGED OUT.
Vancouver, Wash, Now Accessible
to Shipping.

Vancouver, Wash, Oct. 9.-The
Northern Pacific dredger has CON-
pleted its work on the bar just below
this city and has returned to Port
land. The bar now has at the Ieast
fourteen feet Of water in the shallow
est place and this runs up to eighteen
feet. The committee of citizens who
had the work done are highly pleased
at the results obtained The largest
vessels can now come up to this place
load and sail without trouble. In
the opinion of those who are acQuaint-
ed with the river no more trouble will
be had until next fall at least. It is
possible that the bar will keep itself
cleaned out hereafter. and if it does
no more dredging will be required in
the near future. In order 10 make it
permanent a jetty will have to be
built, and this the government will be
asked to do by an appropriation.
The total cost of the dredging is
about $4,000, which was guaranteed
by citizens. To raise this sum an i'm
prOvement district will be formed and
the taxpayers will be taxed to pay it.
The commissioners will take action
soon to this end. The Improvement
will be of vast Importance to this
city and surrounding section. The
shipping interests will receive a great
impetus and it is possible that pro-
jected manufacturing concerns will
now locate here, as they can get YES
sells in and out without annoyance.

cial district in a few we'll chosen re-
marks to a large audience of people

dacy for reelection. We have had
opportunities to know something of
Sylvester McLaurin's faitllfulness as
an officer. We served four years in
an office the business of which was in
timately connected with that Of the
district attorneys business, and during
this incumbency, we found nothing
in his administration that we thought
was out of harmony with tho faith

for granted that what was true in this

Florence, Miss, March 80. Editor
Brandon News: 1t might almost seem
iagreligious right in tile midst of q
tate and county political campaign to
inject any other subject, but little
surcease from political excitemnt may
not prove uninterosting to your roa-
lors, and little reflection of ths sub
iect at the head of this article may
iisabuse some of the incorrectness Of
preconceived ideas.
At firstFglance, it would seem that
with all the modern improvements in
mighty engines of war, the loss of hu-
man life would be too awful to con-
template. When we take into con-
sideration that modern war ship
with the power and armament of the
Oregon and Iowa, could, with in a
few minutes, reduce a whole navy Of
ancient times into kindling wood, we
would readily arrive at the conclusion
that war would be of short duration
if, for ne other reason than that of a
lack of men to prosecute it, but his
tory does not bear US out in these IL
lusory deductions.
It is not SO much today of athletic
training or personal powers to WELD
the sword, javelin or scimeter as it is
the cool courage and steady nerve of
the men behind the guns that count in
battle.
AS a matter of comparison, I will
give some figures in support of the
above premises. We will take the
great naval battle of Salamis, fought
five centuries before the christian
era, between the Greeks under Them
stocles and s.Persians under Xerxes.
The PeIsians fleet consisted Of $50
ships, of which 200 were destroyed,
the loss of life is not given, but must
have been immense for history records
that no army either ancient or modern
could compare with it in numbers il
comparison of which the mighty army
Napoleon buried in the SHOWS of Russia
on his retreat from Moscow, was but g
handful.
The Greeks lost so ships in the
same engagement We will now take
up the naval battle of Actium, fought
September 2, B. c., 81, between Mark
Anthony and Cleopatra on the one side
| and Octavius on the other. Octavius
had $4,000 infantry, $4,000 cavalry,
and 800 ships pof war; Anthony and
Cleopatra had 100, 900 infantry, 12,GO(
cavalry and 26O ships of war. This
battle was not notable for any distin.
guished .valor or prowress on either
side, in fact it was rather onesided
affair, for Cleopatra with her 60 ships
deserted the action i'll the early part
and Anthony perceiving the flight OF
| his mistress, abandoned his men to
their fate and followed her, leaving
them without commander, yet
There were 5000 of his men killed
and 200 ships destroyed. We will
next consider the battle of Lepanto,
fought A. d. 1911, between the papal,
Venetian and Spanish fleets, and that
Of Selim, sultan of Turkey. This was
battle of the "Most High" Turk
and Christian, Cross and Crescent and
they fought with the desperation that
religious fanaticism only could in
spire. Absolution was promised to
every sinner who fought for the faith,
and heaven was open for the slain.
The christian fleet consisted of $50
ships manned by $4,000 men placed
under the command of Dan John, of
Austria.
The battle ragged terri6cally for
several hours and resulted in the des-
trdction of the whole MOhamedan

On his return the fsherman's ring Is
placed on his finger by the Cardinal

dict of guilty this morning.
This is said to be the first case in the
