bay frontage. The first one of these
is to cost $4,000.
Contracts for $75o,00o
Construction contracts representing
an expenditure of $750,000 already have
been awarded. Much more expense
will be entailed in the carrying out of
the Naples idea. 1t is said the whole
proposition will represent an outlay of
at least $1.250. 900.
Standing forth as a prominent feat
ure in the skyline as one gets within
view of Naples is the huge bulk of the
steam dredger Seattle, just brought
down from the city of Seattle, and an
chored in Alamitos bay, after a series
of trying experiences.
The dredger was towed down these
1900 miles by the powerful tug Daunt-
less. 1t was carefully prepared for the
long journey by the attaching to it's
sides of large floats to equalize it's
draught.
The apparatus is fitted with a COM
plete machine shop, backsmithing de-
partment, etc. 1t has well-appointed
galley, where food is prepared for the
entire working crew; there are office
room, bunkhouse, etc. A force of
thirty-five men is required to operate
the dredger when it is working full
force.
The Naples work is continuous.
Three eight-hour shifts will keep the

homes of Venetian construction, tile
rooted and wide-porched. Fully seven
ty-fve such residences will arise as
rapidly as workmen can accomplish the
task On the main canal fifteen build
ings will be in course of construction
within sixty days. They will stand on
"made land" at least eight feet higher
than these locations lie today.
AS an indication of the activities
which are planned for Naples during
the ensuing season, the Naples COM
pany reports having sold to date $3.50, 900
worth of property there. Building re-
strictions on the lowest-priced lots are
$500 and these restrictions reach to
$780, according to location

by bulkheads to retain the accretions.
The first section of the bulkheading is
completed.
Began Six Months Ago
Six months ago actual construction
work on Naples was commenced, and
now three miles of bulkheading Is
finished. The mammoth dredge Is dis
charging earth at the rate of 1000 cubic
yards a day, and already the south
eastern quarter of Naples is up to
grade and the erection of many new
homes will be commenced in the city
of red tile roofs during the present
month.
Within very short time the last of
the extensive pile-driving contracts for
the bullkheads will have been COM
pleted. The enterprise provides for al
most six miles of heavy bulkheads
These have as their base piles 4x12
inches, set twenty-six feet into the soil
Every eight feet they are reinforced by
inch and a quarter iron rods, running
back to second line of piles eight feet
from the bulkhead. A facing of four
inch plank rests against this piling,
and each plank is securely bolted into
place. Over the entire front surface of
this wooden foundation will be
cement wall six inches in thickness, re-
inforced with steel rods. This con-
crete work will reach to the bottom of
the canal, making a. solid concrete
bulkhead fourteen feet high.

We cannot help living in some degree

stantly being modified, shaped and

thus held. The most helpful life sto-
ries for the average youth are not the
meteoric ones, the unaccountable ones,
the astonishing ones, like those of Ma
poleon, Oliver Cromwell and julius
Caesar. The great stars of the race
dazzle most boys. They admire, but
they do not feel that they can initiate
them. They like to read their lives.
but they do not get the helpfulness and
the encouragement from them that
they do from reading the lives of those
who have not startled the world so
much. 1t is the triumph Of the Or
binary ability which is most helpful as
an inspiration and encouragement.

finitely greater inspiration to the world

pastor PRAISES ORDER THE Open AIR SERVICES
INNOVATION OF FRIENDS
East Main Street Church Undertakes
New Method to Arouse Interest of
the PeopIe-The Opening Session
Last Night Decided Suq1;ess.

The first of a series of out door ser
vices at the East Main Street Friends
Church was held last night and the at
tendance was much larger than ex-
pected. Between four and five hundred
persons were present, far more than
attended any other evening service in
the city, showing the popularity with
which the open air services are start
ing.
The idea is a new one in this city,
but the experiment showed to the
pastor and to the members of the
church that the meetings will be very
successful. A platform has been
erected between the two Main doors
and arc lights strung above. In the
open space in front of the church
pews and chairs were placed, and ev
cry seat was filled. A chorus OF
about twenty-five sang several selec
tons and there were some hymns by
a quartet and double quartet.
The idea, as outlined by the pastor
is to make the services popular, and
by so doing, have plenty of music and
but a short address, or sermon. A
piano was used for the first time in
connection with services at the East
Main street Church. 1t was on the
platform, and all songs were accom-
panied with instrumental music.
The address of the pastor, the Rev
Mr.. Ware, was on the responsibilities
of life, and he took as his text verse
from the chapter of James.

Changes From n Fish to q Bird.

Changes From a Fish to q Bird.
The story of the early life, transfer
nation and final death of the Chinese
quail is the most remarkable that in
found in the pathological literature Of
the world. The narrative in all it's un-
reasonableness is found in the story Of
ON chung, which is the name the Chi
nese quail is known by when at home
in the Flowery Kingdom. Celestial au-
thorities on bird lore declare that no
specimen of ON chung was ever known
to live a year; that they do not lay
eggs, as all other known species OF
birds do, and, finally, that their pro-
genitor is a Shiny, four jointed worm,
which has a red head and sting on
the end Of its tail. This queer seacoast
worm, according to the curious legend
Of ON chung, lays 100 eggs annually.
Fifty of these become fish and the 9TH
er fifty are worms Of the same species
as the parent. The fish that has come
into existence in this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs year. Fifty Of
these become water denizens after the
image of their parent, and the others
become birds Of the famed ON chung
family. These ON chungs, or Chinese
quails, never breed, and are only
brought into existence as above related.
We give the above not as literal fact.
but as q specimen of the Chinese idea
Of evolution.

bulldogs are kept as pets. When we
add to this the invariable ferocity OF
the beast, the danger to which children

people are exposed whenever he roams
the streets or highways, we have an
argument in favor of his disposal that
cannot be gainsaid. Away with bull

Tells Knights and Ladies' of Honor
That Their Society More Nearly
Approaches the Ideal Than any
Other Fraternal Organization.

Fifty members of the Knights and

yesterday morning at the Second
Presbyterian church, and listened to
a timely and interesting sermon by
the pastor, the Rev. c. o. Shirley. The
value of Christian citizenship was
elaborated upon by the Rev. Mr.. Shir-
ey and he spoke of the relations that
should exist between fraternal organ
izations and Christianity. In leferr-
ing to the Knights and Ladies of Hon
or the pastor said that insofar as his
personal observations were concern
ed he felt that this order more near
ly approached his ideal of what fra
ternal organization should be than
any other. He took this view of the
facts that the Knights and Ladies of
Homer do not confine their members
10 the men, but admit all members
of family.
