The real obstacle to active and progressive
work in pursuance of the plans of the Navy
Department is the location of the United
States quarantine station. 1t stands in the
very center of the site selected for the coal
ing and training station, and cannot be re-
moved until Congress shall have appropri-
ated money to that specific object.
The site chosen for the naval training
station is an ideal one The coaling and
training stations together will occupy about
ten acres lying along the bay front on
Point Iona The state of California ter
inmates, south and west, in a small but
picturesque, peninsula, called Point Iona.
On the west the pillows of the Pacific ocean
break against a rocky and barren shore
while from the south, across q wide expanse
OF water, are viewed the coast line and
mountains of old Mexico. On the east the
splendid bay of San Diego sewers this point
of land from the mainland for distance
of over four miles, The average width or
the bay Is six miles and circling its upper,
or northern land-loeked end, is a smooth
and broad roadway, connecting Point Iona
with the city of San Diego. On the ocean
side of the point huge crest of earth and
rock rears itself in rugged and massive
grandeur, gradually increasing in height
and width as it nears the southern extrem-
ity, where It extends from ocean to bay.
Here, at an elevation of fifteen hundred
feet. a glorious panorama of scenic beauty
and grandeur spreads itself in every dirac-
ton. At the foot of this precipice, occupy
ing a small area of comparatively level
earth and rock, stands the government
lighthouse and the buildings belonging
thereto. the tides actually having the base
of the light-tower.
Under the old Spanish regime the name
of this small peninsula was Point Iona,
and the point was reserved by the govern
ment for military purposes The Mexican
government also dedicated Point Iona to
military uses and made some feeble show
of terrifying it, but when our war with
Mexico occurred Commodore Stockton with
bis blue-jaekets easily overcome the small
show of resistance and took possession OF
this region for Uncle Sam"
In its turn the United States government
decreed that Point Iona should be dedi-
Gated to military purposes and as early as
1870, by order of the Secretary OF War.
Lieut.. Cave j. Couts OF the army made
survey OF s'the point and filed his report

Zachary turned blood-red, his grey blue
eyes fiickered like burning birthstone, and
his lips moved as IL to speak. But he con-
trolled himself. turned sharply about,
plunged into the coppice and mother and
daughter heard him beating, tearing his
way like a wild beast through the tangle of

ran down the road in alarm; but were re-

again out of the coppice. He was racing
at full speed; he passed Little Close, and
that evening did not call for his milk.

gers, as we'll as about fifty pounds OF
baggage for every man. so 1t can be seen
| that the test of the roads ability was a
thorough one.
This high efficiency in handling men
and baggage was only possible on ac-
count of the improved physical condition

of which any road may be proud. The
directors secured the right man when
they selected Mr.. ]. S. Norris as general
manager. He knows every step i'll practi-
cal railroad work, having commenced
his career as fireman on the Pennsylvania
railroad. He has succeeded in making
this road paying investment, and at
the same time accomplished many needed
improvements. The near future will in
augurate a new time table that will
materially shorten the time of hepassen-
ger trains, which, it is believed can soon
be run at a much greater speed with
consistent regard for safety. The coun-
try through which the Maryland and
Pennsylvania runs, should feel proud of
it's outlet, and the patrons should in
every reasonable manner, hold up the
hands of the new management in the
other improvements of the road.

The judges Pension Law.
Bel AIR, August II.

TO TIE .ECIS.-
| take the liberty of asking small
space in your columns for the purpose OF
correcting an error that seems to exist
| in some quarters in connection with the
Wilson Bill, known as Chapter 236 OF
the Acts of 1904. relating to the pay
ment of salaries to certain Judges after
| their retirement from office, popularity
known as the Judges Pension Bill.
| In the first place there seems to be an
impression that this bill was gotten up
| by one of the members of the General As
sembly from Hartford County, but, as n
| matter of fact, it was prepared by a
committee of the State Bar Association
and introduced by Senator Wilson from
Prince Georges county.
Another error seems to prevail, In
that statement is made that the tax
PAYERS of Hartford county contribute
something toward the payment of the
amount raised for this purpose. but. this
also is an error for no part of the county
tax or state tax levied and paid by the
tax payers Of this county is applied in
that way. The 2312 cents on the 500
levied by the County Commissioners as
State Tax is appropriated as follows:
Fifteen cents on each one hundred
dollars for the Public Schools. One and
three fourths of one per cent. on each one
hundred dollars to pay the cost of sup
plving books for the use of the children i'll
the public schools of this state, and the
balance of the state tax collected is turned
into the treasury to pay the interest and
create sinking fund for the redemption
of the loans issued by the state for the
purpose CT building the addition to the
penitentiary. the insane asylum loan, the
state building and improvements loan, the
consolidated loan of 1899 and the public
building loan all of which is fully and
plainly set forth in Chapter 343 Of the
Acts of 1904.
1t is therefore apparent to any one
who takes the trouble to look into the
matter that every cent of the revenue
raised in this state by direct taxation is
appropriated by the Act authorizing the
levy and cannot be used any other way.
In addition the amount raised by the
23h paid as state taxes there is received
by the State Treasury of Maryland a
large sum of money annually from the
tax on gross receipts ofrailroads, from
liquor and other licenses issued in the
city of Baltimore and other parts of the
state and from other taxes on corpora
tons SC, known as the indirect tax
fund, and it is out of this fund that all
appropriations for the salaries of state
officers, expenses of the General Assem-
bly, and the amount appropriated to pro-
vide a pension for retired judges arc paid,
and the impression that exists with some
of our people, that this Appropriation is
an additional burden upon the taxpayers
of this county is entirely erroneous for
the reason above stated.

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

The Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail
road Company has handled in the past
two weeks, thousands of passengers in
addition to its regular traffic, and
hundreds of tons of baggage. In this
effort, not a single slip.up has occurred,
or the slightest accident of any kind. The
trans bringing the soldiers to Bel Air
were composed of seven or eight coaches
each, and several of them made the run
in an hour and five minutes with absolute
