Puget Sound Government Drydoek
said to Be Rottins Away,

Seattle, April 13-The government
drydoclD at the Puget Sound navy
yard is rotting away from disuse, ana
the town Of Bremerton at the en-
trance to the yard is becoming a de.
serted village. Each month for the
last year has seen hundreds of work
men discharged, until there are
hardly enough men left to guard the
property, and all this time and money
for the construction of buildings and
for various improvements of a per-
manent character is accumulating in
the natioal treasury untouched. One
reason given for placing the Puget
Sound yard under ban is that the
administration is seeking the elector.
al vote of California, and is endeav-
oring to gain this object by throwing
all the repair work and construction
to the Mare Island yard.
Still another reason advanced is
that Secretary Moody, of the navy, is
endeavoring to break the spirit Of
the people of Bremerton, so that they
will sell their townsite to the govern
ment, as an addition to the yard, for
much lower sum than is now asked.
When President Roosevelt made his
visit to the coast year ago, the sec.
retary of the navy opened negotia.
tions with William Bremen, founder
Of the town, as the representative Of
the property owners, for the purchase
of the site.
Then the warfare against the sa.
looms was at its height, and the gov
ernment demanded that the saloons
be removed or threatened a boycott
of the yard, The saloons were all re-
moved, and recently the government
announced its willingness to permit
FIVE to exist This action followed the
national brewers convention, which
took hand in the affair.
Negotiations with Bremen have
been continued all the whole, but are
now in a very unsatisfactory state
Moody can well afford to wait" was
the significant statement of a navy
yard officer recently, "for it is plain
that realty values will be forced down
materially if the navy yard is virtual
ly abandoned" though the people say
they never will yield to the pettyt
bargain counter policy of the secre.
tary of the navy. Promises that ships
will be sent to the yard for repairs
are numerous, but so far they have
come to little, and the work done has
been insignificant in its proportions.

The part of Virginia Bryant calls for
the exhibition Of every symbol of

exceedingly forcible and appealing to
