NAVAL ENGINEERING.
Rae Calls Attention to It's Critical Con-

Washington. Nov. Rear Admiral
Charles w. Rae. engineer in chief OF
the United States Navy. in his annual
report. calls attention ito the critical
condition OF engineering in the navy,
and points to the explosion on the gun
boat Bennington in San Diego harbor

sonnet bill. which merged the corps of
engineers into the line of the line of the
navy, he says a whole corps OF
specialists was virtually abolished and
their duties transferred to the line.
All midshipmen at the academy had
been given excellent practical instruc-
ton In engineering, he ads. and No ex-
animation other than that required FOR
promotion was demanded of them for
qualifying for the performance of the
joint duties imposed by the personnel
act.
The intent, however. he continues.
was that they should be ordered al
once to the performance of engineer
duty in subordinate capacities as 40
sistants of the older engineer officers.

structions in the personnel bill, COM

for three years absolutely nothing was
done by the young line of officers in
acquiring engineering experience and

ad iress and introduced General Greedy,
whose subject was Geographical Elk
pioration. is Moral and Material Re-
sults.r
He began by referring to the honor
of being asked to speak on an occasion
on which in the past ex-Presidents and
men of world fame mad seen At to voice
their thoughts. He said the noblest
object of geographical research is the
extension of civilization and to spread
the bef eficial results gained by the en-
iightened nations. The extension or
trade routes through Central Asia, he
said was -he greatest achievement Of
modern explorers and that this feat
would do more to advance the civifiza-
ton of that country than centuries of
missionary work.
The speaker then went into details of
his voyage in search of the north pole
He told of the hardship and privations
of himself and his men and said that
nature In the North seemed to take bet
ter care of men than in the tropics. AL

from Al drew Carnegie, the founder
who expressed himself as having been

Secretary Church read his annual re-
port with statistics showing that 1853
branches and agencies of the library

new building would be completed in
good time for the Founders Day cele-
bration next year. costing for con-
structioi alone about $6,000,0O0 that
the Carnegie Institute should then take
rank in its architecture with the no.
blest institutions in the world. He
said lat the Carnegie Techinal
e Schools which one year ago had no
existence were now in partial operation
with day class of 100 young men, who
won their entrance in a severe compe-
tion of 1923 applicants and that the
night schools would start with a larger
class during the present month.

Water and Light System Probable

The committee of the town council
on water and light franchise has been
having several conferences of late with
c. f. Wood and they have been getting
together as to terms and conditions so
that the Courier can announce that the
installation Of the system so much de-
sired is very probable.
Mr.. Wood has seen fit to very largely
modify the demands of his franchise as
originally drawn and has consented to
very much reduced rates.
The notes taken while the committee
and that gentleman were in conference
will form the basis for new franchise
which is now being prepared for pre-
sentation to the council
The source of water supply will be
the Columbia river, and as the number
of hydrants used by the town increases
there is 10 be reduction in price. The
details Of the light system have not
been as fully discussed as that of the
water system, and no information can
be given out at this time. 1t is thought
very probable that a complete agree
ment can be reached and the franchise
ordinance be presented for first reading
meeting of the council.

Dirt Soon to Fly

H. E. Wallace, the engineer ON the
steam shovel, has arrived from the
Palouse, near Princeton, Idaho, where
he has been working for Wren & Green
ough, aud is setting up the new steam
shovel "Bucyrus" on the siding here
The Bueyrus was shipped here direct
from the factory and will he used here
ut the camp a mile and half below
town for the first time. A man is
usually sent out from the factory at
South Milwaukee, Wis, to set up new
machines, but as Mr.. Wallace was for
merly employed there this expense and
trouble was saved and the shovel will
be put i'm readiness under Mr.. Wallace's
supervision.
The Courier is informed that it is
the plan to move the car tomorrow.
1t will be taken from the tracks just
west of the Watson warehouse and a
temporary track, laid few rail lengths
at a time, will be put down along the
street north of the lumber yards and
then down the road to where work COM
mences near Haxton's place. The en-
gines will be put under steam so that
it will propel itself over the track. Two
days time will be required to move down
where the camp is already being put
up. There are about 10000 cubic
yards OF earth to be moved at the first
setting and the shovel moves about 1000
yards per day. AS soon as the electric
light plant arrives two ten hour shifts
will be put on, so that they will be en-
gagged at the first point month or six

Improved Mail Service.

TIE Chief Clerk of the Mail Service,
in reply to letter from this city in
reference to the matter, informs Post
master Potter that he can arrange to
exchange mail with train No. 3 and he
will very likely accomplish it in few
days. This would certainly very much
improve our mail service from the east
and enables US to send bulky mail west
without the disadvantage Of sending
east on No. and running chance Of it
being lost IN transfer. The Chief Clerk
has acted very promptly in the matter

took up the agitation locally.
