The reporter ventured to ask
his opinion regarding the recent
prize fight at the Naval Academy
which TWO Of the students en-
gagged in, and in which one Of
them was killed. The Captain
was quite reticent concerning the
fight, but treated the matter
lightly. you see, everyone at
Annapolis engages in the sport
OF boxing, which is one OF the
best exercises in the world. The
two young men fought with
gloves, but at the end OF the 23d
round, they shook hands and
became friends. | do not believe
for a moment that either meant
to kill the other. The public
should consider that these cadets
are mere boys and should be
treated as such"
What class Of men make the
best naval cadets!
That is a pretty hardquestion
to answer, Tor in the naval
academy there are young lnen
from every walk Of lie and they
are ali the very best timber. L

SAYS NAVY NEEDS
BRIGHT YOUNG MEN
Believes That the Young Men Of North Da-
kota Would Make Great Success in the
United States Navy.

Captain Richmond Hobson,
the pride OF the American Navy.
hero Of the Merrimac, the man
who faced what seemed to be
certain death for his nations
cause, in an interview with an
Independent reporter Friday
afternoon at his room, No. 100,
at the Leland, spoke very en-
tertainingly OF the opportunities
OF the young man in the Ameri-
can navy today.
sWhat are the chances for the
young man Of today in the U. S.
Navy?' the reporter asked.
Captain Hobson, tall and
handsome, studied for a mo-
ment, then answered. "WeI, |
should say that they were never
better. The navy needs good
strong young men, young chaps
with character and the young
fellow who enters has every op-
portunity to rise in rank. The
navy is being enlarged and this
is why he has SO good an op-
poruunity for advancement. Let
a young man enter the navy and
tend strictly to his business, and
he should have no trouble what
ever in becoming an officer in a
few years. The majority OF the
officers receive ST, 800 a year and
their expenses. North Dakota is
Just the place to secure able re-
cruits. Your Young chaps out
here should be stroLg and heal
thy, such a fine climate
How can a young man enter
the navy?' the reporter asked.
North Dakota is entitled to
eight members in the navy at
present. Each Congressman and
each L. S. Senator has the priv
lege Of selecting two cadets. That.
Is, North Dakota can have eight
men III the Dayy at one time. AS
soon as a vacancy exists, the
congressman or Senators can Sc
cure other Ppointlnents. ! am

conclusion on long line of depart.
mental decisions. The register and
receiver raise no question as to Mr..
moore acting in good faith and that
ne mad taken up this land for his own
use and benefit, and had complied
with the requirements of the desert
land law. Another question that is
overlooked, and this is not taken in
10 consideration by the special agents
who are not familiar with past condi-
lions, and" apparently make no effort
10 ascertain them. 1t is a fact that
the snow fall has been lighter in the
past five years than before, and at
this time, know from my own knowl-
edge that the streams and water
courses are lower than at any time
within the past 26 years. This has
resulted in very low streams for irri-
eating during the recent seasons.
"As a matter of equity, in a rea-
sonable construction of the land laws.
due allowance should be made for ex-
traordinary conditions, such as at pres
ent prevail. do not mean to insinuate
that the register and receiver have
not decided this case in accordance
with what they consider the more re-
cent and rigid construction of the land
laws, but in all fairness, am positive
that their decision will be reversed
for the simple reason that from an
equitable consideration of the case,
justice has not been done.'

on new impressiveness. Six hundred
thousand men were waiting with ears
to the ground for the result. On the
one hand, it meant that one-fOurth
OF them were to die in another long
drawn out battle for supremacy, on
the other it meant that suddenly their
minds were to be enchanted with Wis.
ions of home and loved ones. On the
one hand it meant continued strug-
gle through the red flames of war for
territory. for commercial supremacy,
and for prestige, on the other it meant
the songs of praise and the industries
OF peace, the charm of home and the
love which generous people give their
defenders.
Then the situation was striking. The
soil they stood on had been consecrat-
ed to freedom. They were awed by
no courts, no kings; the flag above
them symboled nothing but peace,
equal rights to all men and the meas
ureless power that comes to people
when no obstacle is in their path and
every man is sovereign. We wish

we fancy that could some sublimated

would have seen above the clouds and
through the sunbeams. the forms of
Mercy and Justice and Love watching
and through tears rejoicing that a
consummation which did away with
war, mad been reached; that they

me treaty marks a new departure
IN diplomacy. From the president the
commissioners all received the i'm
preston that square deal was the
rlghtful thing. and that everything
else except principle must be waived
TO compass peace, that such result
was possible, else they had not been
sent, and that the lives of tens of
thousands OF men, and possibly the
peace of the world. hung upon the re-.
suit.
And 1t was accomplished and the

The Brave Fire Eiuhters.

(Sung at the Firemen's smoker last
week by the colored vocalists with
great succeSs).
Come along, get you ready. wear vour
brand new gown,
For there's going to be a meeting at
the city of Lewistown
OF all the fire laddies in Montana
state so grand
And they'll all march together to the
music of the band.
Great Falls is represented by man
named Samuel French.
And when it comes to fighting fire, he
was never known to finch.
But when he hit the jaw bone on his
way to Lewistown,
lie didn't use bad language, but he
wore an awful frown
There is man from Billings who
knows thing or two,
He's one of the old-timers in the uni.
form of blue;
Now when it comes to running, Jack
Bond cannot be beat,
He led the Maverick hose company
that never knew defeat.
McMurray is another from town
called Hamilton,
Who journeyed many miles before he
hit the old jaw-bone;
He says the scenery is pretty, but the
road will never do
And that his fire department could
beat it a mile or two.
Now Billy Alexander is another man
who knows
Quite bit of how to handle the lad.
der and the hose;
He left his home in Bozeman, bidding
all his friends goodbye,
I'm going to Lewistown over the old
jaw-bOne or die.
Now Helena is the capital of the state
in which we live,
Whose fire chief is Frank Mcconnell,
and some pointers he could give
About fighting fire and other fights,
excluding wine and beer,
But if YOU are fighter. Frank. you
sure can prove it here.
There was fire in Hayre not so very
long ago,
The firemen fought the fire all right
but didn't have show:
Now. West who is the leader of his
men so brave and bold
May learn a thing or two in Lewis
tOwn-so we've been told.
There is another right good fellow
and they call him Jerry Shinnick
And any time there's something do.
ing, Jerry's always in it;
Butte is lively burg" he SAYS, "yet
to be exactly true
If | only lived in Lewistown, so many
things I'd do"
Now Billy Nye is known to be rag
time Millionaire,
But that is only in his dreams, when
Bill is full of beer.
But he's jolly good fellow and the
boys all know him we'll,
And they all begin to holler, What
t ell, Bill; what t ELL
Now here's the last but not the least
our home chief, Johnny Bebb,
He's the prince of all good fellows
and the half has not been said;
He's regular Kansas cyclone when
the fire bells do ring;
He calls his boys together. and they
all begin to sing, Hail, Hail.
