OF the three weary ships that towed it,
the big dry dock Dewey passed into the
Mediterranean after one OF the most mar
velous passages ever made across the
western ocean.
It is q far cry back to that December
day when the Solomon Islanders watched
with regret the departure of the fotila
with the dock that had lain so long in the
shelter Of its shores, and much credit is
due those in charge for bringing the un-
calmly monster safely through four thou
sand miles of stormy seas and what is
considered the worst section of a twelve
thousand mile voyage.
All who saw the huge structure as il
stood for months immovable as fortress

great sides towering above the masts Of
surrounding craft, admitted that the
Navy Department was undertaking a
large task In taking it out to the Philip
pines, and later events proved that they
were right
Those were great days at Solomon ISL

going, Golfers, lighters, tugs and supply
vessels lowering about. the quiet waters
of the beautiful Patuxent took on the
bustling airs OF a busy port But Sol
omon's days Of glory are over and no
longer admirals and high officials from
Washington visit its shores, for the day
after Christmas the rat-ta-tat OF the riv-
eters and putting OF the derricks on the
dock gave way to the steady clank Of the
huge chain as It slowly wound round the
windlass and link by link brought I'D the
eight great mushroom anchors out of the
mud where so long they held the Dewey
a prisoner. For two days the labor Of
getting them on board lasted till at last
they were all slowed along the broad
floor OF the dock and with the aid of three
colliers and two tugs the big structure
swung majestically around, slowly gath
cred way and it's long voyage to the Far
East was begun.
Down the Patuxent River and out into
the Chesapeake the long tow picked its
way through fleets of little oyster vessels.
which, disturbed at their dredging, like
frightened gulls took hurried fight at our
approach, to settle down only after the
strange procession had passed.
Now, having the dock to ourselves, we
had an opportunity to look about and see
what manner Of craft was this in which
we were going down to sea.

sheet this morning referring to the candidacy Of
Capt George Dinnica, for the city council in the
Third ward. IS SO palpably untrue that even the
friends Of his opponent Dog Tray Towser turn away

stacks The Leader alleging that The Leader is pos
sessed Of "an axe which it wants ground" The Cap
al can not survive the fact that The Leader is with
the people. In every proposition that has come up
in Guthrie. The Leader aud the people have been
united. while the Capital espoused the Cause Of the
banks and corporations The Leaders issues have
won cut the latest notable achievement being the re-
aistricing ordinance The people wanted reiistrict-
Ing; the Capital and the machine men on the council
opposed It. The opposition was finally driven to a
vote by public opinion. The Republican members of
the council, Johnson, Walker and Towers, fought re-
districtng with fury; they wanted negroes IN office;
they delayed council meetings; they scclrged Cal
vert: worked up counter petitions and did every
thing possible to defeat redstrctug Bat the people
won. Walker johnson and Towers are the three
men who voted to give away the city's water plant
ana pumping station and saddle a $4,000 debt on
tax payers Now the gang organ, the Capital would
have these men reelected. This morning It resorts
TO morose lies and assails Dunnica saying he is "The

first, from which it is separated by an
elongated strip of land, of which the

amounts to $500 feet. The first valley,
