Men Who Build Warships.

II has been said of the Construc-
tion Corps that men Of that branch OF
the service rarely emerge from the
obscurity of everyday work well done,
and as a reason 1t has been urged that
theirs Is not work which puts them
in the limelight
They build tthe ships, but it is the
men who fight them that get the ap-
plause.
When the mighty Oregon made her
famous trip around the Horn to be
first in that bulldog rush Tor the enc
my. when he sought to escape from
Santiago none ever gave thought to
the talented designer of that superb
fighting machine, Lewis Nixon, and 1t
is doubtful if a hundred men, in the
service or out of fit, can tell otthand
what naval constructor ii was that
carried out the plans of the designer
and superintended the building of the
vessel
There was one constructor OF the
American Navy who came into sud
den fame. but singularly enough 1t
was for sinking a vessel and not for
building one that he gained ron1Wn.
This was Richard Pearson Hobson,
but it is doubtful II many know that
he was a member of the Construction
Corps, as he was habitually referred
to as Lieutenant Hobson, or as Cap
tain Hobson, after he had gained his
promotion.
Oversee there was one constructor
whose obituary was widely written.
He had designed the British armor-
clad Captain, one of the first iron
clads of Great Britain's navy.
The vessel was topheavy and cap
sized in the first heavy sea she met
and went to the bottom, taking her
designer with her.
But while no member of the Con-
struction Corps has ever taken rank
with Sampson, Dewey, Farragut. or
Hull, there are signs that with tho up.
building of the new navy-and it Is a
great new navy, so please you-there
will be an awakening Of public inter
est in the men who prepare these
great figb'ing machines for war.

Nature has just one pigment on her palette
with which she produces all the marvellous
tints of beauty, and that one pigment is the
blood The shell.lke pink beneath the
finger nails, the delicate rose of the cheek,
the cherr, ripeness of the lips the irridesccnt
brillance Of The eyes are all produced by the
blood. ust as the permanence of beauti.
ful painting will depend upon the purity OF
the colors with which II is painted, so the
permanence of beauty depends on the purity
of the blood. Paint, powder and cosmetics
wont't avail to preserve beauty. Beauty be-
gins IN the blood. DR.. Plerce's Golden
Medical Discovery is a true beautiher, be-
cause II provides for nsture that pure blood
with which alone she can paint. The use of
this medicine will cleanse the skin, heighten
the complexion, brighten the eyes, and give
10 face and form that radiance of health
which is the greatest charm OF beauty. DR..

we have five years experiments

YAKIMA VALLEY ROADS
North Coast Company Announces It's
Intentions.

North Yakima, Oct. 4.-The pur-
pose of the North Coast Railway Com
pany, which has been organized by
Yakima men and Eastern capitalists,
is to build new system of standard
steam railways for the Yakima valley.
Robert E. Strahorn, the vice presi-
dent and general manager of the COM
pany, has made the announcement that
the company would commence at once
to build line to the Cowlitz coal field
and the Naches pass and Sunnyside
districts. The object, he says, in 60
ing to the Cowlitz region is to tap the
coal fields Of that district.
This means the forming of a juno
ton with the Tacoma Eastern, which
has been completed to the Big Bottom
country. The line will be nearly $50
miles long, beginning at Sunnyside
and ending at Cowlitz pass. This ap-
pears to be significant move, in view
Of the fact that other roads are hurry
ing to get into that country. Mr.. Stra-
horn also stated that it was the object
Of the company to tap the rich miner
al and forest wealth Of the Tietan ba-
sin and the Gold Hill district and make
all this country tributary to Yakima.
The Office of the company will be To-
Gated here and building will be com
menced at once. The surveys of the
road have been completed.

charge that in two of the remaining

The demurrers for the five indicted
corporations will be filed separately
and the officials will demur as a unit.
Men who have been indicted as agents
will in each case file separate demur-
rers.
All of the processes are similar, set

begun In 1887 and took six years to
complete, the cost being fS8,977. 1t
will always be interesting IL only for
the fact that 1t was erected by Robert
Louis Stevenson's uncle, Alan, who fol
lowed the method adopted by his faith
er, Robert, in the Bell lighthouse. The
Skerryvore lighthouse Is 1897 feet
high; 1t Is AZ feet in diameter at the
base and IS feet at the top. The light,
which is revolving one, can be seen
at a distance Of 1917 nautical miles.

Of the whole chain and Is about 80

Speaker Reeds Joke.

Henry H. Rogers and the late
Thomas b. Reed were close friends,
says the Worlds Work. Otter Mr..
Rogers took party, including Mark
Twain and Thomas b. Reed, to the
West Indies on his steam yacht. On
the way back Mr.. Reed was compelled
to leave the boat at Old Point Com
fort to hurry by rail to New York
to argue law case. The yacht
struck storm after Mr.. Reed left
it. When he heard of it he wrote
Mr.. Rogers the following letter (Which
is now framed and hanging in one Of
his Offices, to which Mark Twain
added characteristic postscript:
New York. April :, 19O2.-Dear Mr..
Rogers: l still think we had most love-
ly trip and am still grateful / am told
however, that you had trouble immedi-
ately after l left. which leads me to
counsel you not to take the yacht out ex-
cept when you have on board persons of
such weight with the community that
they can keep the boat level.
The Colonel. Hilton, Foote. DR.. Rice
end Mr. Twain are all we'll enough in
their way-quite interesting people, but
they lack gravity. Very truly yours,

as ballast. MARK.
