TUG CONVERTED
into DREDGE
BOAT
The Fidget Has Been Fitted With
40 HORSEPOWER Pumping En-
CINE and I2-lH. Suction Pipe.

The tug Ffdget, which for years mas
been used as a towboat by the Brent
Mil Company, has been purchased by
Frank Taylor and converted into 4
dredge beat. The deal as to the change
Of ownership occurred only few days
ago.
The tug boat has been lying along
side Of Baylen street wharf for sever
al days now, where the big pumpi.,S
engine is being installed as we'll as the
suction pipes and other machinery
necessary for the operation of a sue
ton dredge. The stern Of the beat
has been remode'.ai somewhat and the
Zig suction pipe, ten inches in diane
ter, leads out from the rear. The dis
charge will be from the side Of the
vessel. The pumping engine is Of for
ty horsepower and makes $50 Tevolu-
tons per minute, thus giving the
dredge a capacity for doing a large
amount Of work.
Mr.. Taylor has already contracted
to do a large amount of dredging for
the Florida and Alabama Land Co.,
near their mills on the bayou, which
were formerly the Brent mills. A
channel AZ feet in depth will be
dredged from the logging boom TO
deep water. There will also be con-
siderable dredging done about the
wharvas of the company.
Several other parties who own mills
and wharveS are deSirCus of having
dredging done, and Mr.. Taylor antici-
pates that the new dredge will be kept
busy for some time to come. Al
though towing is not contemplated by
the owner, it will not be interfere
with by the changes that have been
made and by hosting the suction pipe
the tug can easily take a tow of TIM

Syracuse calls itself the capital of the
south, but it has no cause to dispute
pride of place with Palermo. The met
rOpolitan city is superior in popula-
ton, wealth ard much else, but it is de-
hcient in what its ancient and glorious
rival has in such abundance. For SYRIA
cuse has the supreme charm of Greece
IN a way that no other city except Ath-
ems has. Not even in Corinth, nowhere
IN Hellas from Messana or Sparta in
the south to Thebes in the north, is
there any Hellenic town to compare
with 1.-THE queen Of Sicily" As a sane
tuary, Delphi is far more impressive
than anything in Sicily, as a national
meeting place Olympia has no rival,
but nowhere except at Athens is a
Greek city to be seen today which has
the proud record OF the marvellous me-
tropolis Of the SIcilian Greeks, a city
as great in power and wealth and
beauty as Athena herself, and victor
at last in the lo1g and fatal rivalry
which indirectly involved the passing
Of the Hellenistic dominion of all the
lands washed by the Ionian and Med
iterranean seas.-Century.

CARYVILLE
Special To The journal.


CaryviMe, June 12.-Miss Gussie
Miller Of DeFlniak Springs has been
visiting friends and relatives in Cary
vile for the past week. Miss Gussie
is a charming young lady, and from
all appearances several young gentle
men in Caryville think so too.
Among the many busy people IN
Caryville is Fred Harcus, and his es-
Unable wife. who have charge Of the
Caryville hotel with a big house full
Of regular boarders. The spacious
new dining room just completed is
now in working order and with several
new addition this hotel is up-to-date
in every respect.
The Geo. E Wood Lumber Co. is
still making substantial Improvements
in Caryville. Several new buildings
for the use of mill hands will soon be
completed. In addition to the eXtcn-
sive improvements at the big mill and
planer the railroad from Westville is
progressing toward Darlington in the
direction of Florala, Alabama. The
shipments Of lumber Of this company
during the month Of May was nearly
three million feet and for the present
month is eXceedlnly large. The fa3t Is
is that Caryville and the surrounding
country is more prosperous than for
many years, on account of the regular
cash payments made by this company
to the large number Of men in the en-
ployment both in Washington and
Holmes county,
The nomination of Hon. w. B. Las
sitter Of Vernon at the recent demo
cratic primary to represent Washing
ton county IN the next legislature
gives perfect satisfaction, not only to
democrats. but to a large majority Of
all factions, which will without ques-
ton insure his election in November
next
Crops in this locality are exceeding
ly fine. the protracted drought did not
hurt corn nor cotton when the farm
ers did their work well. The outlook
at present promises a large yield Of
corn, cotton and sweet potatoes.
1t is currently reported here that
the Chipley and st. Andrews railroad
has been built as far down towards
st. Andrews as Wausau, a pretty little
town about miles east of Vernon in
the midst of a neighborhOod of intel
ligent and progressive farmers. This
railroad when completed will pass
through one of the greatest pine
forests in Florida in its virgin state
1t is a fact worthy of mention that
along the line Of this railroad in this
CWashingtOn) county thousands of
acres of fine pine lands have been
hidden for want Of a means Of trans
portation to market Now that the
road is an assured fact the owners of
this fine land and; timber will no
longer be deprived of an opportunity
to sell.
Vernon and its merchants have Just
completed an artesian well which we
hear is in good working order. This
little town has made wonderful
progress for the past few. years, being
in the midst of Holmes valley farming
district where the farmers never fail
to make plenty with large surplus
TO sell. 1t can be safely said that no
part of West Florida has a brighter
future than the citizens of this town
and it's people in the adjacent neigh
borhood up and down the valley.

Of this prOyiso will be to dela3 the
construction of the ship for consider

session. At least a year will therefore
elapse before bids are solicited. and

six other British battleships OF the

the Dreadnaught, will have been start

rob the provision for the great ship OF
all the advantages which were expect

ton, the necessity for which was set
forth So graphically in a recent let.
ter from the Chief Of the Bureau II
Ordnance to the Navy Department
In connection with the plans for the
big battleship it is worth noticing that
the Navy Department has recently
adopted the custom4ef requesting pros
pective bidders for warships to con-
slider plans confidential, and accord
ingly the details are not made public,
as was formerly the rule. This is I'M
doubtedly in imitation OF the pr1ctice
followed abroad and the rule reoently
adopted by the British Admiralty IN
the case of the Dreadnaught. 1t is
not apparent that the proposed rule OF
secrecy serves any good purpose, as
ships building at private yards are
open To inspection by the public, auC
the experience with the DreadnaughL
proves that even in government dock
yards it is impossible to maintain alb
sOlute secrecy.
The immense sum to be expended on
the Navy during the next fiscal year
affords some ground for the CROWNS
demand that expenditures on the
Army and Navy should be mbre mod
crate and that more economical
methods Of administration should be
resOrted to. This demand may not
bear fruit for some years, but it is
certain to do so eventually, and it
would be wise for the naval service to
prepare now to meet the changed con-
ditiOns Of few years hence.

How the Eight Hour Bill
Came TO Be Reported.

The last issue Of Mr.. Bryan's Com

happened to be reported by the pres
ent republican committee, on labor, as
follows:
Despite the efforts of the republican
majority Of the house committee on
labor the eight-hour bill has been t.
vorably reported for passage and 1t is
believed on all sides that it will pass
the house, The representatives Of the
labor organizations of the country
have been stru Sgling for many months
10 get this bill out Of committee, but
the republican majority frustrated
them. On May % the committee was
sn session listening TO an argument
presented by ex-Representative Payson
OF St Louis. Ths majority msmbers
had grown a little careless and as a
result only three republicans were
present. Three democrats were pres
ent. Representative Hearst, a mem
Der Of the committee, who was
thought TO be in San Francisco, sud
denly walked into the committee
room. That made a quorum, with
three republicans and four democrats
present. Immediately Representative
Hunt Of Missouri, democrat, moved
that the committee go into executive
session. This the committee did and
Immediately the bill was favOrably re-
ported. Representative Garones, Of
Massachusetts, was the only repubh-
can member voting for a favorable re-
port on the bill. This is the bill which
President GOmpers Of the American
Federation of Labor has long sought
70 secure a favorable report upon, but
his efforts have been fOlsd by the re.
publican majority.

Petroleum.

A peculiar fact in respect to petro-
leum is the difference Of conditions
under which that oil occurs in Russia
and America. In the former it is found
in strata Of the tertiary period, usually
a formation resembling a qulcksand
and at depths Of only a few hundred
feet. In our own country it occurs at
great depths in the older compact sand
stones and Hmestones Of the carbonif-
erous, devonian and silurian periods
The oil Of Russia consists Of a class
Of hydrocarbons known as naphthenes,
belonging to the benzine groups, while
our American oil is mainly composed
Of paraf1n. 1t Is to this difference
that the great variation between the
products from these oils is due, for,
while American oil yields very large
proportion, say, about 20 per cent OF
Illuminating oil exactly suited for COM
bustion in our ordinary lamps, the Rus
sian oil produces far less of such oil
and a larger proportion Of high class
lubricating oil. The Russian illuminat-
ing oil also requires to be burned in a
modified form Of lamp, with a more
perfect draft, in order to overcome It's
tendency to produce a smoky fame.

The TemnIe of Diana.

The most noted. fire which involved
the burning of a single edifice was the
destruction of the great temple Of d.

night Alexander the Great was born.
The fire was kindled by Herostratus,
who when apprehended confessed that
his only desire was to transmit his
name to further ages. he was put to
death with exquisite and prolonged
fortunes, and the Ephesian senate COM
manded that on pain Of death his name
should never be pronounced, hoping
thus to disappOlnt his expectation.

THE SEWER BONDS ONLY DELAYED.

The issuing of sewer bonds for a municipal sewer in Bisbee has only been postponed.
 The defeat of the proposition on Monday by bare seventeen votes was due solely to an over confidence on the part of those favorable to the proposi- lion and a failure to go to the polls and record their vote. The unlocked for result yesterday has only delayed matters. Bisbee needs the sewer sys- lem worse today than it did yesterday and il will be an issue before the peo- pie until it is settled and settled right.
 The Review will always be wound advocating those things which the Re adew believes to be right and for the best interests of the people of the en- tire community. 'Claptrap' and fake alarms" find no place in the Review and the defeat of the sewer bonds Mon day, which required a two-thirds vote, IS matter for regret. The voters who defeated the sewer bonds, whatever their motive. have delayed public ne cessity of vital importance, depreciat- sed the value of their own property aand sent word to the outside that Bis. bee proposes to stay at a standstill, wi+b it's unsanitary condition and lack ialic Improvements.

Secretary MetcaIf Directs Investiga-
 tion of Charges Against Officers.

Washington, Feb. 6-Secretary Met calf of the Department of Commerce and Labor today telegraphed to the rnEHectors of steamehip service at Seattle to conduct a searching investi- gation into the causes of the wreck of the steamer Valencia on Vancouver Island. the conduct of it's officers and crew and also of the officers and crew of the steamers City of Topeka and Qreen, which went to the rescue and failed to do very much rescuing. Re ports from the survivors of the wreck that passengers on the wrecked ship were given little show for their lives because the crew monopolized the boats and life rafts, and that officers of the rescue steamers made no ef- fort to lower boats when it would have been reasonably safe to do so, caused Secretary Metcalf to order the inquiry. The sessions will be public.
