of the trip and is now here, superin
tending the last preparations. The
Dewey is an enormous floating dry
dock, large enough to accommodate the
largest battlesnips of the American
navy. 1t will be taken to Manila, to
remain there permanently Wood is
to live aboard the Dewey during the
voyage and will receive a compensa-
ton of $3.50 a month. His craft will
be so stable in the heaviest of weather
that it might be possible to play bill
lizards on board and he will have plen-
ty of good company and solid comfort
on the trip. There is a permanent
crew of eight, consisting of machir
lists, engineers, sailors, electricians
and firemen. For the voyage this will
be reinforced by % sailors. The
great hulk cannot be steered, for no
constructor has been able to devise a
rudder big enough to shape a course
for the dock through it's $4,000 mile
voyage. So the dock is to be held on
its course solely by the towing power
of the three great GOLFERS, Glacier,
Caesar and Brutus, the whole under
command of Captain Fullam, U. S. N.
The towing line will be 1 u miles long.
Naval ocers believe the Dewey can
be towed about 100 miles a day and
allow about three or four months for
the trip via the Suez canal.

and possibly, the decision now stand
ing in the city's way, might be re-
versed. 1t was highly improbable
however, ne thought and in any event
it would delay the plans of the coun-
Gil in proceeding with the work OF
constructing the system.
The other plan suggested by Attor-
ney Sharpstein was for the city to re-
tire the 100000 water and sewer
bonds and vote new bonds in the sum
Of 100000, using the surplus to con-
struct the water system
This he held would be perfectly le-
gal but the only obstacle that he could
foresee would be the difficulty in mar
keting such a big bond ISSUE He
argued, however, that as the bonding
company was willing to pay a pre-
MUM on a 100000 issue when the
revenues of the water system were but
100000 that the company should be
willing to buy 100000 worth of bonds
when the revenues of the water sys-
tenn was $4,000, the present income

Councilmen Glasford came forward
with the scheme to vote $4,000, which

been generally decided among all the
assessors of the state to assess prop
erty next year at it's true cash value
This would probably make Walla
Walla's taxable property double what
it was this year. Kirkman suggested,
that in event a bond issue of 5000, 900
was voted ami a test case was carried
to the supreme court and an advers'
decision rendered, that 100000 of the
issue which would be legal, could be
used in starting the system and then
Councilman Glasford's scheme for
raising the remainder of the money
needed, could be carried out.
Use Nobody's Plans.
1t was practically decided that the
council will cut loose from any and
all engineers and proceed with the
work alone when the proper time comes.
No set of plans, either ThOmsOn's or
Weile's will be adopted and the three
attorneys were instructed to draw UP
an entirely new ordinance calling foi
an election to be held next month.

Concerning the resignation of Min

desiring to interfere, excepting for
the information of the government, ir

FIND GIGANTIC SKELETONS.
Specimens Eight Feet Tall Discov-
cred Near Choptank River.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.-Gigantic
skeletons of prehistoric Indians near
ly eight feet tall have been discovered
along the banks of the Cnoptank river,
in this state by employees of the Mary
land Academy of Science. The re-
mains are at the academy building on
Franklin street, where they are being
restored by the academy expert, John
Widgeon.
The collection comprises eight skele-
tons, of which some are women and
children. They are not all complete,
but all the larger bones have been
found, and there is at least one COM
plete specimen of an adult man. The
excavations were in progress for
months, and the discovery is consid-
cred one of the most important from
the standpoint of anthropology in
Maryland in number of years. The
remains are believed to be at least 1000
years old The formation Of the
graves give evidence of this.

HOLD WATER ELECTION IN JANUARY
Council Faces Dilemma in Financing Proposed System Of
WateWorks- MANY Plans Suggested at Meeting.

Corporation Counsel Blandford,
Sharpstein & Sharpstein and c. c.
Gose, were commissioned by the coun-
ell last night to draw up an ordinance
and submit it to the council at II
next meeting, providing for the hold
ing of a special water election and the
adoption of a gravity system of water
works for Walla Walla. The question
of financing the project will be figured
out at a later date.
Nearly up to the Limit.
According to an opinion rendered by
City Attorney Blandford and con-
Cured in by Attorneys Sharpstein and
Gose, Walla Walla has not the legal
right to incur a bonded Indebtedness
exceeding $4,000 for the purpose OF
building a system of water works
The opinion gave severe setback to
the plans of the council to proceed at
once with the plans of holding a
special election and voting bonds in
the sum of at least $25O,O0O for build
ing the system and at last nights
meeting several schemes were pro-
posed to overcome the obstacle.
Attorney Sharpstein in a verbal
inin To
city had very nearly reached the stat
utory per cent Indebtedness. Ac-
cording to a decision of the supreme
court in another case, Attorney Sharp
stein said that Walla Walla did not
have the right to issue bonds in a sum
exceeding 100000. He believed the de-
cision which had been rendered in
case involving a bond issue of $4,000
900 had not been duly considered. In
this case the supreme court held that
$4,000 of the issue was illegal, because
the city had exceeded the statutory
5 per cent Indebtedness. He believed
that the case would have been given
greater consideration if the whole
issue had been involved
Two Plans Suggested.
AS a last resort Attorney Sharpstein
suggested two plans that the city
might pursue One would be to pro-
coed with the proposed election, vote
the bonds and then have some tax
payer start a friendly suit to enjoin
authorized. In this way the test case
could be carried to the supreme court

of the camps of later Indians were re-
vealed. These consisted of oyster
shell heaps, charred and burned earth
and fragments of cooking utensils.
These discoveries were made fully ten
feet above the graves which contained
the gigantic skeletons.
There have been other discoveries in
Maryland of remains of men of ire
mendous stature. A skeleton was dis
covered at Ocean City several years
ago. which measured fraction over
feet 6 inches. This skeleton was in
tered in regular burying mound
and beads manufactured by white men
were found upon it. The dead Indian
was probably one of the tribes men
toned by Captain John Smith, who, in
July, 1908, made a voyage of explora-
ton Of the Chesapeake bay.
At the point on the Choptank where
the remains were found there are steep
shelving cliffs of sand and gravel that
extend to the waters edge. Beneath
the bank is a layer of mari. The
graves are in the sand a few feet
above the hard mari and have deposits
of between twenty and thirty feet of
sand and gravel above them. A pecu-
liar feature of the discovery is the
charred state' of the bones Of the
women and children. Those of the
men are untouched by fire.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The Wash

This, it is said, is merely side
