AN old SALT LONGING
FOR THE BR|NY WAVES
GRIzZLED SEAMAN TELLS OF
OLDEN DAYS IN NAVY.
When Lawrence J. Mcclure Enlisted
Ships Were Built Of Wood and Guns
Loaded from the Muzzle, While
sailormen Could Do Fancy Work and
Make Their Own Clothes.

The old service spirit and longing
for the sight Of the navy uniform
drew Lawrence ]. Mcclure to the ma
val recruiting station in the federal
building today.
Mcclure first enlisted in the navy in
1877 and served under Admiral (then
Lieutenant) R. D. Evans, on his first
cruise. The old salt put a complete
stop to the work Of the office for the
rest Of the morning, for the entire
force, all much his juniors in length of
service, gathered around to hear him
tell Of the days when ships were built
Of wood and guns loaded from the muz-
zle. Sailormen had striking accom-
plishments in those days-they could
run up and down ropes in way which
would make the modern jacky pale
with envy and their fancy work was
excelled by none. The tar who could
not make his own clothes was not fit
to leave the training ship, and the man
who could not crochet his own ties,
work wonderful patterns upon his
handkerchiefs and show featherbone
stitches along the seams Of his trousers
was looked down on by his mates as q
mere landlubber.
After serving almost continuously I'LL
1893, Mcclure deserted, and tho he
longed to get back to the white decks
once more, was compelled to lie low
till the outbreak of the sSpanish-Ameri
can war, when an enlistment won him
a pardon signed by William Mckinley
now one Of his most cherished posses
sions. He found the navy changed
When he took leave oft, wooden sides
and tall masts were still the most com
mon; when he came back everything
was iron and steam. .-...z

FINE FOR LOGGING

Never have weather conditions in the
Minnesota pineries been better calculated
for record cut of lumber than this
year. AS a result the annual log harvest
Is well along and the lumbermen are
wearing the smiles that won't come off.
There is enough snow to make the haul
ing that commenced during the holidays
easy and the early fall of snow made the
skidding and other steps easy and rapid.

BLOW AT VOTING DEVICE LAW
Attack on Legality of Statute Made BY
A. g. Elliok.
DIRECTED AGAINST FIRE ENGINE BONDS
PLAINTIFF Denies Authority of City
Officers to Call Special Eleo-
ton TO Vote on Prop
osition.

Former Assistant City Attorney A. O.
Ellick, acting for Isabel Linn. has made
the first attack in court on the legality OF
the voting machines registers of the
peoples will. The attack OF plaintiff is d
rected against the vote on the $4,000 OF
bonds voted for fire engine purposes at the
election held November 7.
As soon almost as the suit was filed
Thursday morning City Attorney Breen
was at the Office of the clerk of court to
get the petition.
Mr.. Ellick sets up that the special cleo
ton to vote on the bond issue was called
for the same day the general election.
He contends there was no power or author
ity in the city officers to call such special
election for such a purpose and that the
ordinance authorizing the special election
is therefore null and void, likewise the or
dinance passed after the election authoriz-
ing the sale OF the bonds: also the sale OF
the bond issue TO J. l.. Brandeis & Sons.
There is a plea that the court should so
declare.
II is set up that the mayors proclama-
ton provided for the appearance OF the
bond proposition on ballots which should
inform the voter as to their purpose and
amount, but that in fact there we're no
ballots provided on which was set forth
said proposition. either in whole or In
part" The petition goes on to say that
the voting was done by machine and tina,
therefore the proclamation OF the mayor
was insufficient and the special election as
TO the bonds void and OF no effect and
that the issue should be enjoined.
