HALF WAY TO CAWTE
Passing Through Red Sea
on Trip to Philippines.
REACH DESTINATION IN JULY
Expected to Clear Indian Ocean Before
Dangerous Monsoon Season
Begins.
REACH DESTINATION IN JULY

BY today it is expected by Navy De-
partment officials the big steel floating
drydock will have reached the half
way point on it's long. tedious. and try
ing journey 10 Cavite, where II viii be
stationed for use by the warships of the
Asiatic fleet.
Commander Hosley. in command of
the expedition. reported Friday that he
had started on the sail through the
Red sea. after having emerged from
the Suez canal. Suez. at the opposite
end Of the canal. is approximately $500
miles from Solomon's Island. in the
Chesapeake, where the journey was be-
gun, and something over 5000 miles, as
the course Of the expedition probably
will lay. from Cavite II is calculated
that the half way point is accordingly
about One-third the distance through
the Red sea, which should be reached
by the expedition some time today
Escape Indian Ocean Storms.
Navy officials drew a long breath of
relief when they learned of the success
of Commander Hosley in clearing the
Mediterranean and the much-dreaded
canal. for it indicated that he would be
able to proceed at once on the remainder
of his journey instead of laying up at
Alden or Singapore for four or five
months 10 avoid encountering the ship
wrecking mOnsoons Of the Indian ocean.
A. the time Commander Hosley left
the Canary islands. following a tre-
mendous DELAY caused by the dock
breaking loose in the Atlantic. he wrote
10 the department that if he could not
enter the Red sea by June he would
lay up in some safe haven till danger
0f the monsoons had passed This
would mean delay OF several months
and the arrival at Manila not earlier
than October or November. making the
journey occupy almost a years time.
When the trip was begun on December
2S II was estimated that the distance
would be covered in four to six months
At the rate of four miles an hour or 100
miles a day. il could be made in four
months. but two additional months were
given 10 cover delays occasioned by
rough weather or possible accidents

More than four months had passed.
however. before the dock had cleared
the Suez. and IL was not vet half way.
But most of this delay was due to ac-
cidents in rough weather in the Allan
tic The trip through the Red sea is
expected TO be a smooth one. and now
that the monsoons will be evaded, II Is
not anticipated that there will be any
difficult in the Indian ocean, or In
the seas Of the China coast. At the
rate of progress that has been made
since leaving the Canaries. the dock
should heave into sight of Cavite by
the middle of July

Three months ago the woman's hus-
hand died OF consumption and the coal
company buried him. and gave the
widow a small sum Of money. With It
she came to New York. and found refuge
for awhile with Polish friends on the
lower east side. This family was as
poor as she. and on May l they were
dispossessed. Their scanty possessions
were thrown out into the treet. and
Mrs. Ashowsky does not know what be-

High Priced Hay in Baker.

While there Is no immediate danger
of a shortage of hay In Baker county
vet the stockmen are beginning to
feel uneasy and yesterday the price
Jumped to $11 ton and one man Of
fered S25. The offer of $25 a ton
was made under circumstances where
the proximity of the hay to the feed
ing grounds made 1t more valuable.
G. II. Perkins on Lower Powder sold
several tons of hay in the stack at
$11 ton. In the afternoon another
buyer said he would have paid S25
for the sahe hay.
Last week John Brand purchased
II tons of hay at So and yesterday
he was offered $1l for the same.
The advance in price is due to two
causes, first the sudden change In
weather and second, to the fact that
when the good weather came on a
few weeks ago many feeders believ-
ing that spring was here, sold their
surplus.-Baker City Herald.
