1t is announced, says the Seattle P.
J., that the famous old battleship Ore
gon is to be sent to the Puget sound
navy yard for general overhauling,
amounting almost to a radical recon-
struction of everything save the hull,
80 that she can be brought up to
date.
There is nothing said, however,
about the absolute necessity for the
repairs, or the distribution of politi-
cal pap to the government blood
suckers that breed like flies.
The Oregon was supposed to be
modern ship-at least she cost the
government sufficient for one-but
business is dull among the political
grafters and the Oregon has been
singled out as the one to supply the
necessary scads to help INDECENT poll
ticians out of the hole. Continuing,
the P. I. says:
'The keel of the oregon was laid
about IA years ago, and she has been
in commission for about 10 years. Ac-
cording to some theorists. whose ar
guments are given great weight by
opponents of the construction of an
efficient navy, the Oregon is obsolete
and would be practically useless in
time of war.
This is very far from being true.
There have been great improvements
in the construction of battleships
since the Oregon was launched, 1t is
true. 1t is also true that the approed
modern battleship of the highest type
is very much larger vessel than the
Oregon, has great theoretical speed, a
larger steaming radius and carries a
heavier armament in number, but not
in caliber of guns. 1t is also a more
stable gun platform.
THE government win never build
any more vessels of the Oregon type,
for the newer vessels are considered
an improvement, but the Oregon will
never go on the permanent reserve
list so long as she is in condition or
can be put in condition for service,
unless there are greater improve
ments in battleship construction in
the future than any which have been
evolved since the day her keel was
laid down.
"The oregon is still a very power
full and very formidable fighting craft,
no matter what the vessel to which
she might be theoretically opposed.
1t would be a question merely of the
manner in which she was handled and
fought, as compared with the han
ding and fighting on the other side,
whether she would necessarily be de-
feated in a duel with the most for
midable of the new battleships of the
world
For example, on record perform
ance, it would be an odd-on bet in
favor of the Oregon, with a picked
crew from the Japanese navy, with
the finest and most modern of battle
ships, with such officers and men as
handled the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur
''She has the heaviest of defensive
armor; her guns are no lighter in
caliber and merely fewer in number
than those on more modern warships;
her speed is not merely a matter OF
trial performance, but has been DEM
onstrated in actual battle, under serv-
ice conditions of the severest."

AN UNCoNoUERED BoER.
BOer General Who Never Surrendered
to the British.

HotT OtncTh WHO never surrendered
to the British.
Commandant Jan Louw, the Boer
officer who refused to lay down his
arms when his fellow countrymen
surrendered to the British and who
fled to the Longberg mountains, on
the borders of German West Africa,
with his band of burgher fighters, has
been successfully resisting the COM
bined English and German forces in
South Africa for more than two years
In June, 1902, when the Boer army
capitulated, Louw fled with only
about 300 men. This was the nucleus
of the present little army under him.
Within the first year the 300 men
were increased to 1000, and today
he is said to have a combined force
of 5000 sturdy warriors under his
command. Many Beers still believe
that their country can be reclaimed,
and many of them look to Louw as
the man who will start the next re-
bellion.
There is said to exist an under
standing among Beers and their sym
pathizers that the next uprising will
be in 1906. 1t is also stated that 49,
600 men have agreed to respond to
the commandments call.

WIRE WORTH $4,000 PER TON.
Mechanical Intricacy in Manufacture
OF Wires.

How the value of any material may
be increased by the expenditure of
skilled labor is freshly illustrated in
a letter to "The Electrical Review"
For drawing wire it is usual to en-
ploy steel dies for most sizes, but for
those which have smaller diameter
than a one-hundredtn or an inch dia-
mond dies are regarded necessary.
Copper wire is often drawn to three
one-thousandths of an inch, and that
size runs six miles to a pound. A bet
ter idea of the fineness of wire is
afforded by a steel wide drawn at the
Roebling works. This has a diameter
Of one one-thousandths of an inch
One pound of the wire will reach
nearly 10 miles The wire is made
from steel, the commercial value of
which, in the billet, is about $50 ton.
The expense of drawing is so great
that ton of the finished wire would
be worth more than $4,000.
