Contemplated Expenditure of
$4,000 in Improvement
Of Dry Docks Which Are

%Tr0T

An estimate has submitted for
an increase in the limit of cost of the
dry dock at the Norfolk navy yard
by the sum Of $4,000 making the to-
tai cost, $1,310,0O0. Plans and specifi-
cations were prepared for a dry dock
deemed adequate for the present needs
of the naval service atlthis yard, and
the lowest bid received under public
advertisement was considerably in ex-
cess of the amount of the appropria-
ton. The increase onSthe cost Of labor
and materials of late has very MUCH
increased the cost of public works of
this character. To construct the dock
within the dimensions necessary under
the present appropriation would make
it large enough to barely accommodate
the largest armored cruiser now under
construction. AS 1t is altogether prob
able that within a few years the length
of similar vessels will be in excess of
this, 1t seems unWise to construct this
dry dock of a capacity that in two or
three years might be found to be in
adequate.
There are two dry docks at this navy
yard, both of which are two small for
the largest vessels of the navy, and the
third dock, now to be built, should be,
with a view to the efficiency of this
yard, large enough to accommodate the
largest vessels of the navy likely to
exist in the near future

freely and gladly send you a trial of his
method by mail so you can test it in your
own home. Do not be backward about
writing. Remember it costs you moth
ing to try this wonderful method.
Chief j. II. Alexander. of the Detroit
Mich, Fire Department, 40 years of age
and for seven years a sufferer from rup-
tuTe in its worst form, after trying every
truss on the market without relief, final
" decided to undergo an operation. but
was persuaded to postpone it until he
result that he was quickly and permanent
" cured. He says: Il was so badly rup-
tured that feared / would have to leave
the Department. In fact 1 did not believe
anything except a surgical operation would
help me. No truss did me any permanent
good, but DR.. Rice'S method cured me
and l am today as we'll as ever / was in all
my life. Hundreds of my associates and
comrades in the Department know and
can testify to my wonderful cure, and I
am perfectly willing to tell my experience
for the benefit of others Mr.. AleXander's
address is No. 1OS goth street.. Detroit
Mich.
The thousands of testimonials received
by Dr. Rice mean more than such ex-
pressinns usually do. A person may take
a medicine and perhaps get WELL He
would probably recover anyway. But a
rupture is q break of the muscles and
there are no imaginative cures. The cure
must be complete and in face of thou
sands OF such cures who can doubt that
this wonderful Rice method will certain
Iy and permanently cure even the worst

"Ah," said Col. Thomas Lowry, look

had been reading, 81 see you have owl
cars here now" Col. Lowry has been
in the East for two weeks and his OBJ
servant eye was at once called to the
Improvement in transportation facili-
ties. Great things, owl cars" con-
tinued the colonel. How long have
they been running?"
"a week." said the reporter, land
they are so popular that 1 have been
asked to make some inquiry us to
when they will surely be put on all
lines"
well, why don't you make it" re-
Joined the colonel.
When will they be put on, them"
"Ill tell you what said the colonel
street car people haven't got the idea
at all. Now, if 1 were running the
street car system I'd square those fell
lows who want owl cars by providing
them with hacks and keeping them
quiet. 1t would be cheaper than run
ming the owl cars.
ct must cost all sorts of money to
run the cars. A fellow told me that on
one 3 o'clock car this morning there
were twenty mine fares. Four Of
them were ANNALS, three employees,
seven belated wayfarers produced yell
low tickets and went to sleep and the
other fifteen gave up nickels.
Now, if had my way I'd hire thir-
ty hacks here and. as many more in
st. Paul and let everybody who was
out after l o'clock go home in a wag
on. 1t would make the boys feel bet
ter and would save the street car COM
panies a lot of money.
you might suggest it to the street
car fellows If you see any of them.
