BROOKLYN NAVY YARD WORK.
The Connecticut and VestaI VIII BE
Completed.

Brooklyn, n. Y, July 1S.-Instruc-
tions have been sent to Naval Con-
structor w. j. Baxter, head of the de-
partment of construction and repair
at the Brooklyn navy yard, to pro-
ceed without further delay with the
work on the battleship Connecticut
and the collier Vestal. 1t is expected
that the Connecticut will be ready for
service within three months, after the
delay of about that time In the COM
pletion of the ship, owing to the eX-
haustion of the funds for the work
as originally allotted by congress.
The collier will be built by yard
labor, the steel material to be pur-
chased under contract. Bids for 1t
will be invited before the end Of the
week by the bureau of supplies and
accounts. At the same time con-
tract will be awarded for the sister
collier, the Prometheus, to be built at
the Mare Island navy yard, where
there has been installed a travelling
crane and other appliances for ship
construction. The machinery for the
two Golfers is already under way at
the New York yard.
This is about the only construction
work which is contemplated at the
navy yard at Brooklyn, although 1t
may turn out that one of the two sea
going tugs, authorized by congress
several years ago, which seems to
have been overlooked in the navy de-
partment. may be built here. The
nresent nurDose however is to have
both tugs built under contract.

TAFT TO WALLA WALLA.
Secretary OF War VIII Inspect Army
Posi- In Ociohcr.

Walla Walla. July lS.-Secretary
Taft is coming 10 the coast in October,
and will visit Walla Walla to inspect
the local fort. The secretary will visit
the principal posts in the northwest
to carry out his plan promulgated
some time ago Of abandoning the
smaller forts of the country and es-
tablishing a number of brigade posts
Since one of these large posts is to
be located in the northwest, Secre-
tary Taft's visit is considered of great
Importance, az II will probably deter
mine what place will get the big gar
rison.
American Lake has been suggested
as good place for the brigade post.
but as no official reference has yet
been shown there is no ground yet
for making n positive prediction.
AT present there is no fort at all at
American LAKE and to esta blish a
new post there when there are al
ready several well-equipped gari5sons
In the territory in just as good loca-
tions would seem to be needless ex-
penditure OF money. 1t is thoaght
very likely, therefore. that one Of the
old forts Will be enlarged as the bri-
gade post.
In this event Walla Walla srauds
as good a show as any. and a strong
effort will be made when Secretary
Taft arrives. to show him the advan-
tage OF making improvements here.

HOT WEATHER
HAS EFFECTS
PERCFPTIBLY REDUCED
THE OUTPUT OF WHEAT.
Fields on the Reservation Are Yield
ing From Thirty to Thirty-Fivc
Bushels That Were Expected to
Turn Out at Least Ten Bushels
More-Quality Not Affected and Is
Expected TO Reach No. in All
Cases.

That the wheat yield of the county
has been considerably lessened by the
hot weather is indicated by the
threshing that has already been done
on the reservation. On the Maloney-
Hodgins place two combines have
been working in wheat since Monday.
one being the John Crow machine and
the other the Maloney & Hodgins
thresher.
Last evening ]. w. Maloney drove
to the ranch to learn regarding the
yield, and this morning he said the
field in which the machines are now
working will run between 80 and 81
bushels to the acre. Had 1t not been
for the early hot weather he saws the
yield would have been at least 10
bushels per acre greater.
Thus far no other machines are at
work on the reservation excepting one
which is working in barley near the
foothills. However, several combines
are preparing to start within a few
days.
Regarding the damage to their
grain by the hot weather, Mr.. Malo-
ney says they were worse hit than
most Of their neighbors by the early
hot spell, but that the grain being cut
was too far along to be injured by
the last hot weather. Also, that
while the yield was reduced the quail
ity of the grain is still good the wheat
being No. 1, in spite of the damage
by the hot spell.

WILL REOPEN WHITE SWAN.
Has Been Closed Since the I,etSon Bal
liet FiascO. "'

Baker City. July 1S.-The old
White Swan mines, near Baker City,
which were closed down in 1903 as
a result Of the operations of Letson
Ballet who has since served a term
in the state penitentiary for frauds
in connection with the management of
the property, and who is now at To-
nopah, New. are soon to be the scene
of active operations again.
H. T. Kincaid, of Dayton, O.. secre-
tary-treasurer of the White Swan
Mines company, limited, owner of the
properties in question, will soon ar
rive in Baker City for the purpose Of
resuming operations
Balliet's action while he was in
control of the mines property result
ed in almost endless litigation for the
eastern stockholders, who are largely
Indiana and Ohio men. He is said to
have squandered in the neighborhood
of 100000 of the stockholders
money before his conviction on the
charge of crookedness in the conduct
OF the affairs of the company. His
activity left the concern heavily in
debt as well, and since the closing in
1903, the mines, which are rich in
free-milling gold, have been idle and
the s5O,0OO mahcinery equipment
rusting.
Mr.. kincaid says that now the liti-
cation is practically at an end. and the
debts liquidated. The property is
now in the hands of the real owners
and the prospect for successful oper-
alton is bright.

New York, July 1S.-Roswe1l
Sprague Jones, a wealthy mine owner
of Los Angeles, was released from
the workhouse on Blackwell's island.
after serving two days on a charge
of intoxicatlon. II is said the charge
was blunder, as the man should
have beer taken to a hospital instead
of the police station. He was fined
$40 in police court Sunday.
A house detective Friday night sent
in call for an ambulance to remove
a sick man from the Fifth Avenue
hotel, intending to take Jones to a
hospital for treatment for illness. In
stead, n patrol wagon arrived and
took Jones, supposing he was drunk.
He was arraigned Saturday, fined
Sunday and sent to the workhouse.
At that time he gave his name as
Joseph Jones and refused any infor-
nation concerning himself.

On December the taking of testi-
mony in the famous Peacock Mills
water suit will be commenced at Mil
ton, court being held there for the
convenience of the 800 or more de-
PENDANTS in the case.
The above was announced in cir
cult court yesterday afternoon by
Judge H. ]. Bean, the time being set
so as to meet the convenience of The
attorneys in the case. Pursuant to a
notice from the court the attorneys
gathered in the court room at 8
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Those
of this city who are retained in the
case and were present yesterday. are
A. d. Stillman, Judge Fee and John
McCourt, while c. 7. Goodwin and S.
d. Peterson came down from Milton
to attend.
Two water suits from the Milton
country are now pending in circuit
court and they inv I've practically all
the farmers of that section. The suit
by the Peacock mills is against those
who use water from the river above
Milton and includes about 800 farm
ers, the town of Milton and several
| irrigation companies.
In the Little Walla Walla suit 400
| farmers of the lower river are in
volved, and many of the issues are
the same as in the Peacock Mills suit.
For time the proposition of combin-
ing the suits was up, but this has been
found impossible, for the reason that
the same parties are not named in
| both suits, the Peacock mills not be-
| ing included in the Little Walla Walla
suit.
AS most of the defendants in the
Peacock suit will have to appear per-
sonally in court it will be a great con-
venience for the session to be held at
Milton. While it is an unusual thing
| for circuit court to be held at any
] other place than the county seat, the
circuit judge has the right to hold
court any place within his district,
and at various times in the past ses--
sions have been held outside the
county capital.
