A fow nights ago Neal Frum, Dee

the chase was over, the old reliable

track to either catch ortree Mr.. Coon,
made the woods ring for few min

chase and all the boys yelled, anoth'

fat coon and so it was, and shortly up
a large tree it went and NO sooner up
than Jim Fleming went to the top Of

 cihc coast. How are they provided
 with coast defenses2 Puget Sound is
 defended by Forts Worden. Casey and
 Flagler These forts are manned by
 the magnificent equipment of 27 off,
 cers and 902 men, where l29 officers and 3,1SO men are now required Even
 at that there IS only 1 officer to S2 men
 where the proportion should be 1 ogi- eer to 24 men.
 The coast defense plans call for an elaborate system of defense for Puget Sound. An expenditure of $5,519.349 Is estimated as necessary to complete it. Of this S3,413,600 is for new forts alone, including guns and carriages. The na- tiOnal board on coast defense says that these waters have become of the greatest stragetic and commercial i'm pOrtance due to the completion in the extreme Northwest of great railway systems. and the establishment of navy-yard containing the only docks oi e44S T dtiic GoaSt N4lH tiit cdpdClly for a battleship. These considerations press for an increased and adequate defense at an early date. The entrance is four miles wide. and so deep that it can not be successfully mined. Fogs are very prevalent in Puget Sound. and a bold enterprising naval commander might be willing to take the risk Of running the entrance at times when the ships could not be seen from the Tn order 10 strengthen the artillery defense. to meet this cOndi- ton. the board recommends a second line of gun defense extending from Foul Weather Bluff to Double Bluff, some r miles from the outer en- trance"

 Forts Foster. Miley. Barry. Baker. Ma son. Winfield Scott and Mcdowell. To man these would require 175 officers , and 4.26S men. There are available 42 officers and 1.400 men. The coast de- fense plans call for the expenditure of $3.119.242 to complete the defenses of San Francisco. of which s439.6OO is to
 be spent for guns. emplacements and carriages; S459.955 for submarine mine

 It will cost S1.473.991 to install a com

 fact that this fire control installation
