About the Batteship Building

The battleship Connecticut is being

known that the contract to build the
sister ship to the Connecticut-thc
Louisana-was awarded TO the New.
port News Shipbuilding Company ami
at the present time both ships are
about abreast OF each other toward
completion
That the Newport News Company
is badly handicapped in this test of
battlcShip construction does not aD-
pear to have occurred to the public
prints who have from time to time
discussed this important proceeding.
For instance, every particle of mate
rial that is used in the construction
of the Louisiana is inspected By one
or more government inspectors fur
nishel b. the construction department
OF the navy with power 10 reject any
material that they consider faulty.
How much has been condemned up to
date is known only TO the inspector
who condemns it and the representa-
tive OF tho builder. Who inspects the
! material of which the Connecticut is
built? The naval constructor who is
| building her. Hence it il possible
that material from the steel manufac-
turers might he considered all right
for the Connecticut while that Tor ,n,,
Louisiana might be rejected by II
naval inspector not for the purpose of
delaying the Louisiana for the adj.
Yanccmcnt CT the Connecticut. but d,o
to the difference in the opinion of the
nspector.bulder.
This is Il condition that should
not have been allowed to exist ~ the
beginning of the construction of these
two ships under the conditions and
| understanding that it was a test be-
tween q private ana government yard.
1t was unfair.

GRATIFYING REPORT OF TER.
RITORIAL CROP CONDITIONS

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Aug. 29.-High
temperatures again prevailed during
the last week, giving an average Of
about seven degrees daily above nor
NAL. Light local showers occurred
the latter part, but were insufficient
for general relief from >dryness and
more rain is needed. Streams are
very low throughout the territory.
In the higher northern districts har-
vesting continues, but is nearing COM
pletion. Thrashing is in progress and
a few reports mention shrunken grain,
but generally good yields Of good quail
ity are obtained. The harvesting Of
beans and peas is also advancing and
late fields are maturing rapidly. Hay
ing continues.
The heat has had a tendency to ma
ture corn rapidly and the outlook for
the crOp is good, even the upland
fields and eastern border counties de-
pendent entirely upon rainfall give
promise of good yield. Alfalfa, except
for damage by grasshoppers, con-
tinues to do well and the third cut
ting is progressing slowly in south
ern ans south central districts.
Should normal conditions continue a
fourth cutting viii no doubt be obtain
ed. Range grasses continue good and
stock is in excellent condition. Some

MISUNDERSTANDING APPLE
CROP IN NEW MEXICO

The apple crop of New Mexico,
which began moving this week, it is
estimated this year will amount to
half a dozen boxes of fifty pounds
each, for which from two to two and
one-half cents per pound are being re-
ceived. Picking commenced today in
the big Hagerman orchard near Ros-
well, which alone will ship $4,000
boxes, all to western Texas points.
The remainder of the valley will pro-
duce $4,000 boxes.
The EspanOla valley will ship So
600 boxes, mostly to Colorado mining
camps and to Santa Fe, and the Tes-
uque valley will ship 10000 boxes,
mostly to New Mexico, Kansas and
Missouri points. The San Juan val
ley will shop $4,000 boxes, mostly to
Denver and Chicago wholesalers,
while the Colfax county and other
orchards will ship 10000. This is
the largest yield of apples on record
in the territory.

HEROISM SAVES HIM
FROM PROSECUTION
c. c. Olsen, Charged With
Fraud, Saved Santa Fe
Officials Life.
INCIDENT HAPPENED AT LAS VEGAS

Chicago, Aug. CSC. C. Olsen, the
youth who is alleged to have de-
frauded the Santa Fe and other roads
out of several thousand dollars worth
of transportation, owes his freedom
from prosecution to the gratitude felt
by w. b. Jansen, assistant to Presi-
dent E. p. Ripley, of the Santa Re
road. whose life Olsen may have
saved a year ago.
Mr.. Jansen and his son were spend
ing a few days at Las Vegas, n. NJ,
where the company formerly main
tanned a large sanitarium. Olsen was
there as a private stenOgrapher n
II day all three went swimming. Mr..
Jansen jumped from a spring board,
and catching the rings above, turned
a somersault and dropped in to the
water feet foremost. He wrenched
his knee out Of joint and when he
reached the water he was almost help
less with pain. When Mr.. Jansen dis
appeared in the water Olsen realized
his employers danger, and sprang to
his assistance. Before he could reach
Mr.. Jansen the latter was well on the
way to a point where he could save
himself by g%rasping the ropes.
Just before | had reached the
ropes" he said, in telling about the in
cident, "Olsen was there and had me
under the shoulders, ready to drag me
out. l do not think should have
drowned had he not come to my as
sistance, but the effort to save my life
was an honest one, made in the be-
lief that | was drowning. My opinion
is that the boy who has the heart to
risk his life for another, cannot be
thoroughly bad, and l believe there is
still a chance for Olsen"
Mr.. Jansen stated that Olsen had
been discharged, but it is understood
in the Office thar he will not lack
friends if he makes an effort to re-
deem himself.

this morning that the yellow Kids"
the Windmill city's ball team, had
fully decided to come to the territor-
ial fair and tly for a piece of that
81, 500 the fair association is offering
Tor the base ball tournament. The
yellow Kids" are the only aggrega-
ton of wholly home grown material
in the territory, yet they have shown
themselves to be the right kind of
stuff, and Mr.. McCauley says that it
is dollars to dOughnuts that they will
come in for a share of the base ball
money at the fair.

Although the Las Vegas Blues seem
to have been playing winning ball, the
score sheet shows that they have al
SO been playing very loose ball. In
Saturdays game with Clifton, the
Blues made eight errors and in sun
days game with the same opponents,
they made six errors. This kind Of
ball won't get any money at the fair,
and the McIntoshes should also take
cognizance OF this fact. Six errors
lost the game at Santa Fee on Sun
day.
After having drawn a blank for six
weeks, the supporters of the Mcintosh
Browns will have a chance next Sun
day to see them at work on the home
grounds. Santa Ee has promises two
games, one Sunday and n Monday
Labor Day. Santa Fe has also prom
ised to send an excursion of at least
500 people on Labor Day, which will
lend some to the life of the occasion.
1t will then be up to Albuquerque to
reciprocate the cordiality extended
them on the occasion of last Sundays
pilgrimage to the capial.

The following is a dispatch to the
Las Vegas Optic from Santa Fe on
the result of Sundays ball game:
In the presence of over 1000 peo-
pie the ~rejuvenated Santa Fe team
wallOped the life out of Der Mac

team from the Duke City. Rip Starr
was batted out of the box"

The fans will notice by The Citi-
zen's score sheet of the Santa Fe
game that all of the errors, which lost
the game for the Duke City bunch,
were made by the imported material,
which has nothing to do but prac-
tice.
