The ARMY TRANSPORT.
PACIFIC SQUADRON IS A MODEL
FOR HANDLING THE GOVERN
MENT'S TROOPS.
Private Steamship Companies Said
to be Unequal TO the Task OF Trans
porting Soldier Boys-The Cost 10
Greater.

Along the Pacific Coast the army
transport service in operation with the
Philippines and intermediate points, is
not regarded with favor. Private
steamship companies covet the busi-
ness which is now being done by the
dozen and n half vessels making up the
transport fleet.
During the last fiscal year the Sheri-
dan, Sherman, Thomas, Logan and
Dix carried to Honolulu, Guam and
Manila $1,000 passengers. 1l5.O0O tons
Of freight. S6O,S63 pounds of United
States mail, and $2,47S,O00 in United
| States money, besides considerable
amount of Philippine pesos coined in
the San Francisco mint; and in jan
| uary, 1906, the schedule was doubled,
that is. instead of one sailing month
there are now two.
The army prefers to do it's own
frei hit and passenger business on g
Pacific for the following reasons:
Primarily, private companies secur-
ing contracts could not furnish the ser
vice desired without specially con-
structed vessels. an expense which,
though demonstrated absolutely neces-
sary by experience, they would not
undertake owing to the uncertainty OF
the traffic
Secondly, the present service is
found more economical, the cost OF
operation last year amounted to $3.50,
600 less than the lowest estimate pre-
sented by any of the private con
Germs bidding for the business.
Lastly. the eXigencies of the service
which might at any moment demand
the rapid transportation of large ship
ments of troops and supplies woulC
necessitate the holding in reserve o
a considerable number of vessels. Il
impossibility to private steamship
company which Is forced by competi
ton to operate with strictest economy
COMBINED COMFORT AND

In explanation of the first of thes
reasons--the average transport is

not such ms are provided for steer
age passengers on the Pacific, and il
vessels so equipped were owned and
operated by a private line, that line
would be long in getting rid of them,
should the army be suddenly recalled
from the Islands. Furthermore, the
army transport must carry Il battery
OF rapid fire guns in her bows, some
thing for which private steamship
companies have very little use.
The second argument advanced by
the adhercnts of the present system
needs no comment.
The third and last contention Is
best supported by Il report made on
January Ii of this year by the Cen
eral Staff of the Army to the Senate
Committee on Merchant Marine. in
which il was stated that ito embark
division would require ten 6,5oQ-ton
ships and nine 5,500-ton ships. With
the strength of the regular army two
divisions could be made ready to EN-

Who Is Without L.

All the doctors in the county
have telephones. So have the
merchants, and there are any

but we know (tO our sorrow) that
there IS not a minister in Math-
ews who has one in MS homo,
and we think that it is as neCes-
sary for the minister as it is for
the doctor or merchant. The
ministers who live near the Court
House should have them, but
as they all live within FIVE min
utes walk. aof the Central Office
their need'is mot SO great as that
of Brothers Ware, Williams and
Snyder. We certainly would
like 20 have telephones put in
these three places. Often times
there are marriages, funerals
and services that take place that
we hear of weeks after.
We would like to have some of
our liberal public-spirited Chris
tians look into this matter and
see if this cannot be accom-
plished. This is a progressive
age, and you will have to supply
