PACIFIC FLEET \ MODEL.
The army has built up its Pacific
transport fleet after long and trying
experience. and it is generally conced-
ed that the vessels are models of their
kind. Representatives of foreign
governments have asked for and re-
ceived copies Of the specifications.
The transportation of live stock has
been fruitful of disasters. The first
consignment of mules shipped to Man
ila was n source of great anxiety.
Every precautiOn vas taken, and f.
nally the fatal precaution of belly
banding the animals caused the loss of
all but one who became known In
Manila as the hundred thousand dol

Along the Pacific Coast the army
transport service in operation with he

not regarded with favor. Private
steamship companies coVet the bust
ness which is now being done by the
dozen and Il half vessels making up The
transport tleet.
During the last fiscal year the Sheri-

that is. instead of one sailing a month
there are now two.
The army prefers to do its own
fret Int and passenger business on .
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-
scented by any of the private con
Germs bidding for the business.
Lastly. the eXigencies of the service

In explanation of the first of these
reasons-the average transport is n

its interior arrangement. The trans
portation of large numbers of troop4

Time was when the man who had

ever, all through the Southwest. In
great sections of California and Ari-

is deep and fertile, and the water for
irrigation ample, little farms are max
ing for their owners more money than
many of the big ones. Two, three

faithfully cultivated have become, in
hundreds of instances, veritable gold
mines. Some of the communities Of
southern California. comnosed Of theen

Special to Times-Republican
Spirit Lake, Nov. Saturday aft
erhoon Miss Rose Peck, deputy clerk
Of courts, ran against queer prob
lem. A couple of young people applied
for marriage license, the young lady
stating that she was of age and the
gentleman acknowledged that he lack
ed several months of being twenty
one. He produced letter signed by
his elder sister in which she gave her
consent to the marriage and said it
was her wish that same take place.
However the code of Iowa stipulated
that no license be issued to minor
except upon the consent of his parents
or guardian. AS the young gentle
mans parents are both dead and a
guardian has never been appointed, he
is in peculiar position. The marriage
being highly satisfactory to every one
concerned there Is no one who has
the authority to consent to same. This
makes it necessary to either go thru
the form Of appointing a temporary
guardian, so that consent can be Civ
en-. or delay the marriage until the
young man comes of age. But strange
to say the young people do not favor
this last plan. This case simply bears
out the proverb that the course Of
true love never did run smooth"

Shortly after breakfast Monday
morning the family of Joe Sheeder,
farmer living five miles west of
Guthrie Center, were taken violently i'll
with symptoms Of poisoning, and in
spite Of the efforts of a physician, a
child, the youngest of the family, died.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that only three persons had eaten oat
meal for their breakfast and those were
the only ones that were sick, being Joe
Sneeder, the hired man and the baby.
The two men used cream upon their
meal. which to a large extent counter
acted the effects of the poison. The
child ate oat meal without cream and
was the first to succumb Mrs. Shee-
der stated that she had placed some
rat poison on a shelf in the pantry to
XIII the mice and it is supposed that
the mice carried some of the poison
into the meal. Mr.. Sheeder and the
hired man recovered and are none the

believe that a splendid fight has been
put up for the entire republican ticket

are just about what the party is en-
titled to-"
Mr.. Spence is in a part Of the coun.
try where dissatisfaction was supposed
to be greatest He believes that the
counties there will give very nearly the
usual majorities for the republican
nominees.
1t is pointed out that the normal re-
publican majority in Iowa is about 40
900. In recent years the majorities
have gone up high, notably for Roose-
welt and Cummins but all the well-in-
formed politicians point out that this
was due to the personality of the can
didates. The party does not have a
normal majority of 100000 as has been
claimed by a few. It is the confident
expectation of republicans here that
the normal majority will be given for
the entire state ticket, tho owing to the
corporation influence the head of the
republican ticket will be cut. The ex-
tent of the bolt will be indicated by the
reduction in the majority of the COVER
nor as compared with the average re-
publican majority for the rest of the
ticket. The democrats publicly pro-
claim that they are dead sure of elect
ing Porter, but privately they admit
that Cummins will have majority.
It is now regarded as certain that
only two congressional districts are in
doubt.
