may not be economically transported
to the borders Of the sea, and. as
against coal, the fuel is cheap and
economically carried. Unfortunately
an oil tank is not protection to the
boilers when the ship is in action; but
when an 1S-inch armor belt girds the
ship the likelihood of projectile find
ing its way to the vitals is rather re-
mote. Yet owing to desire for high
angle fire. the Russian designers have
made ships that are considered dam
gerously high out Of the water. They
look terrible and impressive, but, un-
luckily, they are the best Of targets.
Notwithstanding the reported at
tempts to have this large fleet released.
there are reasons to believe that at the
present time Russia feels much safer
having it where it is, for it Is no secret
that the ships were built with the
single idea Of Furnishing the "Sick Man
Of Europe" sooner or later.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

Ambassador Choate's Joke.

Ambassador Choate, at the dinner
recently given him in London by the
Pilgrims Club, said:
MY elation here tonight is great.
1t is great as it was on the occasion
Of my first lawsuit. That was happy
time 1 remember that 1 had sat
brooding and idle. The afternoon was
gray. The law as a career seemed
hopeless. Suddenly there was caller
and an excellent case offered me by a
wealthy man. An hour after I got a
second case. 1t was incredible. Two
cases, my first two cases, and both
given me the same day.
"How I worked that night over my
two cases! How thought about them
as I walked officeward with my green
bag the next morning! 1 remember
that shabby person, accosting me as
walked, said:
"Old clothes? Any old clothes to
sell?''
He seemed to be regarding the green
baize bag. 1 held it up for him to see,
"'Oh, no. said I, mo old clothes, my
friend. New suits.''

Reeds Save Snez Banks.

When the Suez Canal was first con-
templated there were many misgivings
as to the possibility of preventing the
sand from filling up the channel and
many suggestions were made as to
the best means Of preserving the in
tegrity of the banks. But it has been
discovered that nature has provided
the most efficient means of protecting
the water way from injury, and q bet
ter one than the sun-burned brick or
sandstone in use along certain parts of
the canal.
This natural safeguard is a fringe
Of reeds, which grows thickly on the
African side below Ismailia. The Suez
Canal Company is making an attempt
to raise these reeds for transplanting
to other places, but the difficulty is
that they must be reared in fresh wa
ter, although in after life they readily
adapt themselves to salt waters.
On the Asiatic shore of the canal no
fresh water is procurable, but the
difficulty should not be insuperable.
and then the Suez Canal will grow it's
own embankment. When this time
shall have come a waving green bull
wark of reeds will mark both banks
of the great ship canal.

RUSSIA'S
HELPLESS FLEET
600

" ULLY one-third of the Russian
Il navy is imprisoned by treaty in
the Black Sea. Excepting for
/ four destroyers which were built
ON the Baltic, and were permitted by
the Porte to steam to Sebastopol after
their armament had been removed, and
the merchant vessels which are in the
auxiliary and volunteer fleets, none of
the ships has ever passed through the
Dardanelles. The entire Black Sea
fleet, including all classes of ships,
numbers 153 vessels, and includes 8
hattleships 9 cruisers, II gun vessels,
IS auxiliary cruisers, 16 volunteer
steamships, 10 destroyers, 20 first-class
and 63 second-class torpedo boats. The
| tonnage represented by the vessels is
considerably more than than half OF
| the entire Japanese navy, yet, owing
to the numerous treaties and conven-
tions which have closed the Darda-
nelles to all foreign lighting ships, the
Black Sea fleet remains inert
Since the time when it became evil
dent that hostilities in the far East
were inevitable several diplomatic at
tempts to have this powerful fleet re-
leased from its Imprisonment were re-
ported to have been made by Russia
Some Of the fleet, it must be admitted,
would be unable to make the long voy-
age to the far East, and perhaps would
be of little effect If they did. On the
other hand, the formidable battleship
squadron, while not of the latest type,

the United States will sooner or later
be compelled to depart from tradition
and settle for all time the vexed Near
Eastern question by turning out the
Turks and becoming responsible for
the peace Of the Turkish States in Eu-
rope. Dreamlike as this proposition
appears. there are those in Europe who
have faith in its accomplishment. In
the United States the idea has not
even the stability of a vision.
Not only is the Dardanelles forti-
fled, but the Bosphorus bristles with
forts in pairs strung out along its
length at intervals Of two miles. AS
the Russian Black Sea ~battleships are
the most heavily armored in the world
it has been suggested that this was
done for the purpose of attempting the
passage of the straits, should necessity
ever arise.
The Ships of the Fleet.
Two Of the Black Sea battleships.
the Knyaz Potemkin and the Tria
Zviatitelia, are very speedy ships for
their class. both being able to do seven.
teen knots an hour.
In addition to the feet mentioned,
two powerful 13,OOO-ton battleships--
the Ziatoust and the Erstafi-which
are to have an eighteen-knot speed, are
being built, and two protected cruisers,
a new type for the Black Sea, Of 6,6a5
tons, with twenty-three-knot speed.
are also being built. These are to be
named the Kagul and the Otchakow,
and are part Of the new Russian naval
program, which provides for FIVE 49,
5OO-ton battleships, the largest in the
world-the largest English battleships
being 1880 tons each, and the Con-
necticut class for the United States but
10000 tons, the nearest approach to
which class are six French ships OF
1852 tons each.
One advantage the Russian Black
Sea feet possesses over those of other
powers is the ability of some of the
ships to burn oil. The Caspian oil
| fields are not so distant that petroleum
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1904-07-15

is, on the whole, heavily armored, and
destroyers are. of the most modern
type, and from the first-class torpedo
boats a strong f1otilla could be formed.
1t is almost impossible to entirely
divorce any considera ton of the Rus
sian Black Sea fleet and the history Of
the Dardanelles, for the fleet has been
organized and built especially to meet
the conditions. Originally it was con-
ceived with the idea of commanding
the shores Of that immense inland
sea, and to be able. if the necessity
should arise, to assist any operation
against Turkey.
A Vast Inland Sea.
The Black Sea is a very large body
of inland water. Some idea of it's size
may best be given by calling to mind
that its area is about that Of the Mid.
die States and Mississippi combined.
In figures it may be expressed as 163,-
I'll square miles. Its only outlet is
through the Bosphorus, the Sea of
Marmora and the Dardanelles into the
Aegean Sea, an arm Of the Mediter-
ranean. The Bosphorus and the Oar
danelles are two narrow straits, and,
consequently, easily fortified, although
it may be asserted that the Turkish
forts are not Gibraltars. by any means.
At it's greatest width the Bosphorus
is not over two and a quarter miles,
and its tortuous course is nineteen
miles long. The Dardanelles is a wind
ing body of water, forty-five miles
long, and averaging two miles in
width. The latter is ateone point only
500 yards wide, and here, on the
Asiatic side, are the fOrtresses OF
Chanak-Kale and Kum-Kan, and on
the European side Sed-il-Bahr and
I>alid- -Bahr. The latter is generally
spoken of as THE Key Of the Sea-" OIL
1.-The Castle Of Europe" All four forts
have some modern ordnance, the
Asiatic being commanded by 2O(
Krupp cannon, yet there remain some
ancient brass cannon of immense size
which are capable of hurting stonesho1
of from 20 to % inches in diameter
which are not nearly so terrible as
their appearance would suggest.
The forty-five miles Of the Dardan
elles, whose shores, although not such
panorama of beauty as those of The
Bosphorus, are still full Of fine pictur
esqueness, are bordered by rugged
mountains, rising one behind the other
brown and barren on the European
side, and by low, wooded hills on thu
Asiatic. Important towns dot the way

opposite the scene of Leander's swim

low this lies Chanak-Kalessi, some

Rugged Beauty of the Dardane1les.
As the Dardanelles, the Sea of Mar
mora and the Bosphurus are all with
in the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish
Government has always eontended
that no foreign warship should be al
lowed at any time to pass through.
Owing to the same international jeal-
ousies which have prolonged the life
of the Sick Man of Europe, the Porte
has been able to have it's position
strengthened by treaties and by a con-
vention Of the European powers. The
various treaties. ETC., referring to the
closing Of the straits to foreign ships
OF war may be summarized as follows:
1909, January 5.-Treaty. Great
Britain and Turkey. Dardanelles and
Bosphorus closed to ships of war OF
foreign states when the Porte is at
peace.
1922 Notification. Turkey. Bos

Russia to live up to the treaties is
largely moral. On the other hand, the
United States has never recognized the
right of the Turk to close the Sea OF
Marmora or the Black Sea to fighting
ships. and in 1898 hint that Admiral
Sampson and the fleet that had swept
Cervera's squadron from the seas

which have closed the entrance to the
Black Sea. If the great White Bear
ever does get control, it can easily be

Mr.. Gardner, chairman of the
water and light committee, report
ed that things were in fairly good
shape at the plant and that they
were managing to keep plenty of
water on hand, and the situation
was possibly not as serious as it
was at one time thought to be.
The special committee appointed
to investigate the advisability Of
boring a new well and the probab BILE
cost of same reported that the
cheapest bid from a reliable firm
for sinking a 300-foot 10.inch well
was -, 300. This figure includes
all casing and connections. The
bid came from Memphis concern.
Mr.. Reynolds, the park chairman,
