President Urges Big Addition to ARM
nmeut.

A Washington, d. c., special says:
President Roosevelt sent message to
congress Monday accompanying plans
for coast defense prepared by a joint
board of army and navy officers in
which he emphasized the necessity Tor
further deenses, and reviews the fls-
tory of the defensive works ~ this
country The president calls especial
attention to the recommendation OF
the board that the entrance to Ches-
apcake Bay be added to the list of
places in the United States to be de-
Tended. He says the insular posses
sions cannot be longer neglected If
Defenses are recommended for Ma
Mia bay Pearl harbor, Guantanamo,
Guam, San Juan and Honolulu because
of their strategic locations. Defenses
are recommended for entrances to the
Panama canal. The message says:
Our coast defenses, as they existed
in 1850, were not surpassed in eff
cheney by those of any country, but
within few years the introduction OF
riled cannon and armor in the navies
of the world, against which the
smooth bore guns were practically use
less, rendered them obsolete. For
many years no attempt was made to
remedy the deficiencies of the sea
coast Notifications. There was no es-
adjustment IN the country equipped
for the manufacture of high power
guns. There was no definite adopted
policy of coast defense, and congress
was reluctant to undertake a work
the cost of which could not be stated
even approximately, and the details
of which had not advanced-so far as
could be scertained-beyond the ex-
perimental stages"
The president then tells of the or
ganization and report Of the gun
foundry board" under the act OF
March, 1888, and later of the reports
Of the Endicott board, organized under
an act approved March 3, 1885, and
shows where later improvements in
gunmaking and in explosives rendered
necessary many changes in these rec
concentrations.

AN IRRIGATION ASSESSMENT.
Black Hills Water Users Decide on 10
Cents An Acre.

A we'll attended meeting OF the
board of directors of the Water Users
Association has just been held in Belle
Fourche. The principal matter which
came before the board was the ques-
ton of the first assessment for ASSOC
citation purposes, as provided for In
the bylaws. Each share of stock in
this association represents one irriga-
BILE acre of land, and it was decided to
assess each share 10 cents. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be not less than
10000 acres OF land in Meade and
Butte Counties to be supplied with
water under this project, and event.
ually there will be 100000 acres. A
great part of this land is still govern
ment land and open to settlers.
The assessments made by the assoc
citation will be in the nature of liens
upon this land, to be collected from
both present and future settlers before
they will be supplied with water. 1t
is expected that two or three years
will elapse before all the public lands
will be taken. The entire acreage
would be taken much sooner were 1t
not for the fact that the big dam will
require at least three years to con-
struct and that water cannot be de-
livered to certain parts of the land
under irrigation until the completion
of this dam.

FIRE AT LAKE PRESTON.
Elevator, Grain and Coal Sheds Are
Destroyed-Loss $4,000.

About 2 o'clock Sunday morning the
elevator belonging to the Atlas Ele-
vator Company was discovered to be
on fire. The origin of the fire started
in the office How it could have caught
is one of the mysteries that probably
will never be solved. There was a
hard coal stove in the office, with a
fire in it, but no one thinks fire could
start from that.
The property was total loss, as the
whole building was one fire when dis
covered. There were about 5000
bushels of grain-wheat, oats, barley
and flax--in the elevator. The coal
sheds that Joined were also burned,
with from rs to 100 tons Of coal.
The loss on the elevator will be
about $4,000, besides the loss of the
