Fast FORGING Forward.

Idaho is one of the best watered
states in America People are NOV
ing there because hot winds and de-
structive storms are unknown and be-
cause its matchless climate generates
physical and mental vigor and guaran-
tees good health. Idaho has rapidly
grown in popularity during the past
five years and settlers in it's irrigated
valleys have met with more than or
binary success. This fact has induced
a large influx of Eastern capital in
the state with the result that its
growth has been rapid. If you have In
mind a change for the general i'm
provement of your condition in life, or
IL you are seeking a climate beneficial
to health, Idaho will meet these re-
quirements. The easiest-in fact the
only direct route to Idaho points is via
the Union Pacific. This road runs two
trains daily from Omaha and two
trains daily from Chicago and Kansas
City to all points in Idaho, Montana
and the great Northwest. For full

COUNTY OWES CITY
BIG SUM OF MONEY.
Alderman Dixon viii Confer with
County Commissioners About II.

Alderman Dixon VIII Confer with
County Commissioners About 1t.
Alderman James NJ. Dixon. chairman
of the Finance Committe of City
Council, will endeavor to collect from
the County Commissioners this after
noon bill for $4,000, which the county
has been owing the city for quite
awhile, on the garbage contract en-
tered into last year.
The city has already paid the Sa-
vannah Electric Company the money
which it is now endeavoring to collect
from the county. The contract with
the street car company for hauling the
garbage was made by the city, and
the city alone is responsible to the
company. The city, however, has
contract with the county in which the
county agrees to pay just one-half of
what the city pays the street car COM
pany for hauling the garbage.
Under the first years contract. the
company was paid $4,000 by the city.
The number of garbage cars was found
to be inadequate, and a different con-
tract was made. an agreement being
reached by the city, county and COM
pany at the same time. Under the new
contract the city agreed to pay the
company $4,000, the company purchas-
ing additional cars for handling the
garbage. At the same time the county
entered into a contract with the city
to pay $4,000 for the garbage, instead
Of 81. 400.
The city has already paid the rail-
way company on both last years and
this years contract. The County Com
missioners have been requested num-
Der of times to pay the bill, but have
failed to take any action. The confer
ence with Alderman Dixon was re-
quested by the commissioners, and it
is thought some agreement will be
reached

HARTFORD TO AGAIN
PAY VISIT TO SAVANNAH.
Famous Old BattIeship VIII Come
Here Sometime Next Month.

anOuS OAu OOAAA~
Here Sometime Next Month.
The United States training ship
Hartford, formerly the flagship of Ad-
miral Farraguts squadron. will again
pay visit to Savannah.
This information reached the city
yesterday morning in letter to Rev.
Father Aloysius, whose brother is chief
machinist on the vessel. The letter
stated that the old battleship will leave
it's present station, Newport News,
some time about Dec. l, and will sail
for this city.
The training ship visited Savannah
at about this time last year, and Will
be well remembered by Savannahians.
At first it anchored off Five Fathom
Hole, but later came up to the city,
and lay at the foot of Bull street. Here
1t was visited by many To-day the
old fighters, made entirely of wood.
would stand no more show in naval
contest than would an ordinary yacht.
The Hartford is now used only for a
training ship, and has aboard men
who have enlisted with the navy. Two
Savannah boys are aboard and a num-
Der of the men have relatives here.
The chief machinist, Mr.. p. ]. O'Han-
Ion, is a brother of Rev. Father Aloysi-
us. Commander T. T.. Dewitt Vreeland,
who is in command of the vessel, is
a brother-in-iaw of Mr. w. w. Mackall.
Last year the visit of the vessel was
made the occasion for number of So
cial festivities, and these pleasant as
sociations will be renewed this year.
To Commander H. S. Colding, COM
handing the Georgia Naval Reserves,
is due much of the credit
for securing second visit
from the training ship. In the
interests of the Naval Reserves
here he brought pressure to bear on
the department which resulted in or
dering the vessel to Savannah. The
length of the visit is not yet known,
but it is almost certain it will be here
for at least the greater part of week
and probably longer.

Will Report It's Choice to Company
as Soon as Possible.
A committee has been appointed to
select a captain for the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry. The committee is to
report it's decision at the regular meet
ing of the company next Monday night,
if an agreement has been reached by
that time. The members of the COM

man; Maj. w. S. Rockwell. Sergt. A.
D. Kent, Private Falligant and Private

that the Statesboro affair might cause
a loss of interest in the company was
erroneous. The members intend to
keep the company up to the same
standard it has always held. Great
interest has been aroused in the Sc
lection of a successor to Capt. Hitch.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-Striking a
submerged mine at Port Arthur today,
the Petropavlovsk, the flagship of the
Russian feet, went down and carried
with her Admiral Makaroff and be-
tween 600 and 800 men. Grand Duke
Cyril escaped, but is wounded.
Admiral Makarof ordered his entire
squadron out to engage the japanese
fleet of 40 vesaels which appeared off
the port early in the day and began an
attack which still continues.
According to the Associated Press in
formant while Admiral Makaroff was
returning after going out to attack the
japanese fleet the Petropavlovsk struck
mine on her starboard side amidship
and Immediately began to keel. Before
the crew could flood the port compart-
ments of the vessel, she turned turtle
and sank in a few minutes, carrying
down almost the entire crew. Captain
Njakovlof, the Grand Duke Cyril and
two other officers were saved because
they were standing on the super-bridge.
The frightful loss of life among the
officers and men was due to the fact
that they were all lat their stations
