the government will ever build anoth-
er one, although, Of course, the gun
now at Sandy Hook will probably be
kept there.
The government had planned to build
forty such guns, eighteen to be placed
at Sandy Hook, ten at San Francisco,
eight at Boston, and four at Hampton
Roads. The great point made for the
gun was that its projectiles would sink
battleship if hit. It's range was
about twenty.one miles. The projec.
tile is sixty.four inches long and
weighs 2,37O pounds. In early expert
ments it was found that more than one
half ton Of powder, costing 1865, was
needed to fire the projeetile. The lat
ter cost 5000. About three times as
many men were required to handle the
16-inch gun as were needed to care for
a 12.ineh gun.

Salmon, Former Wreck Com
missioner Of Canada In
the Net

New York, June 25.-Captain Reg
inald Salmon, former Wreck Commits
sioner of Canada, cousin Of Vice-Ad
miral Salmon, retired, royal British
navy and nephew Of Sir Arthur Den
ny, Bart, is a prisoner in the Tombs
He is the central figure in scandal
Of international proportions, involving
Raymond Prefontaine, the Canadian
Minister Of Marine; Captain Osprey
@. V. Spain, the present Canadian
Wreck Commissioner, and commander
Of Canadian cruisers, and his wife,
Mary Beatrice Spain, for years a lead
ing member Of the House Society in
Ottawa, and close personal friend of
Lord and Lady Mimic.
Mrs. Spain, who a few months ago
left her husband under an agreement
Of separation, is in the city living in
poverty. Salmon is charged under an
almost obsolete section Of tho Penal
Code with impersonating Captain os-
prey G. V. Spain and maintaining
marriage relations with the real Mrs.
Spain in this city.
There is a second charge against
Salmon of attempting an illegal opera
tion upon Mrs. Spain, and on this he
is held, together with DIR. Fulton, Of
Brooklyn, to await the action Of the
grand jury.
A denial Of both charges is made by
Salmon, Mrs. Spain and Fulton, while
countercharges are made Of an alleged
conspiracy, hatched in highest official
circles Of Canada, 10 wreck and dis
honor Salmon 3 career and TO blight
tho reputation Of the woman he ven
tured to befriend.
Last October Salmon resigned the
position Of Canadian Wreck Commits
sioner, at the same time asserting that
Prefontaine attempted to influence his
decision in collision case involving
big sum Of money and responsibility
for the loss of FIVE lives.
According TO Mrs. Spain, Salmon
once interfered when her husband as
abusing her and thrashed him. Pre-
fontaine and Spain, It is alleged, then
combined in a conspiracy against Sab
mon and Mrs. Spain, with the results
recorded above.

There are many predictions that the
trust bubbles which have been ex-

aions that the trusts themselves will
bring about financial crash in order
80 buy back their own securities on an
Inevitable depression. The general

TO ABANDON HEAVY GUNS.
Death -Knell Of the Large l6-Inch
Weapons Is Sounded by Chief
Of Ordnance.

New York, June s6.-The ordnance
experts Of the United States army are
said to have practically decided that
tho 16-inch gun from which so much
was expected, is not practicable as
weapon, and a decision by the war de-
partmen TO abandon the type is antie-
ipated.
Only one Of the guns has been made
SO far and that one is now at Sandy
Hook. rhe experiments, while show,
ing that the gun could DO all that was
expected Of it in one way, have mover
theless convinced the experts that as
a weapon il Is weapon too costly.
Colonel Greer, chief Of ordnance Of
the Department Of the East, said that
while il has not been decided TO dis
card the gun now at Sandy Hook il
was likely, in his opinion, that the gov
ernment would never have another.
"The gun" b said, "was ordered
about seven ago, when it was
NS9 a. ase the ealiber Of our

,ed for them. All Of the English
guns were failures. Ours has been per.
haps half dozen times in proving Il.
There is no doubt Of the result if it
ever hits anything.
"on the other hand, however, every
discharge Of tho gun is tremendously
costly in the amount Of labor required
aud the expense Of the charge. The gun
is a little more likely, perhaps, to miss

miss is pretty costly. Taking il an in

New Towns in North Dakota

The extensive railroad building
now being done in North Dakota
has brought tributary to railroad
facilities an additional vast area of
the rich agricultural sections of
northern and western North
Dakota. The Great Northern
Railway is building a number of
new extensions from it's main line
northward notably that of the Sarles
extension of the Edmore line. The
Thorne extension running north
from York, the Max Bass extension
running northwestward from
Towner, and a further extension of
the Westhope line to Antler.
The building of these new lines
has brought into being a number of
new towns which are fully described
in a pamphlet recently issued by
the Great Northern Railway. By
application to Mr.. F. I Whitney,
Passenger Traffic Manager, St.
Paul, Minn., copy Of these
pamphlets New Extensions in
North Dakota" or New Towns in

any address. .-.... r.

Contract Let to Hoglund
Bros. for $5,995.

At the meeting of the city council
on Monday evening the contract
was let for erection of the new City
Hall to Hoglund Bros. for S., ,995.
The building will be erected on
the site of the old engine house and
will be 25x77 it. in size, two stories
high. The front part of the first
story will be used for the fire ap-
paratus, and the rear part will con-
tain a city lock up with two cells,
and police Office. The second
story will contain a hall 25x45 it.
and two office rooms, one for the
city recorder and the other for the
city council. The front of the build
ing will be of pressed brick and cut
stone, making one Of the finest
fronts in town-and high bell
tower of handsome architectural de-
sign will surmount the whole. The
new building will be an ornament
to the city and also serve very
useful purpose, as the present de-
lapidated structure is wholly inade-
quate for taking proper care of the
fire apparatus.
