CANADA MAY BUILD NAVY.
Construction Of Three Cruisers Likel,
After Withdrawal Of Fleets.

Montreal, Dec. 21.-The action Of the
imperial government in withdrawing the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets from Cana
dian waters will in the near future re-
suit in the construction of three
cruisers by the Dominion government
as start in the naval program which
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has in mind. For
a long time the Premier and his col
leagues felt that the time had come
when Canada should undertake the
construction of navy which IN time
would afford to the coastline an ade-
quate defence against attack. The
training Of naval reserves which Is
now in progress in West Indian waters,
is part Of the policy IN view. and 1t Is
expected that an announcement in this
connection win be made at the coming
session Of Parliament.

OF all the excitement which has been
produced by basketball during the winter
in Watervile the climax was reacher,
Wednesday night. when the Dexter team
lined up against the Taconnets in the
gymnasium Of the latter's club house. 1t
was a most satisfactory game in that 1t
was clean game and fairly played. That
the game was intensely exciting may
readily he imagined from the fact that
at the end of the first half the score
stood to ) in favor of the home team.
The Dexter boys came down determined
to wipe out the old score which placed
them second to Taconnet. a few weeks
ago Before the latter began to show
their superiority in the second hall, IL
locked decidedly as if she had some pros
pect of doing so; but as the game pro-
crossed it soon became evident that the
visitors were not in it and when time
was called at the end of the last hair
Dexter retired to the tune of ~ to . IT
favor of the other fellows. The lineup
