including the five thousand soldiers

| Dor Lochs, which will go down to his
tory along with the story of the Ala
mo and the Battle Of Lake Erie.
The japanese fleet had divided itself
| into two squadrons, one Of which, con-
sisting of two battleships, two armored
cruisers and seven protected cruisers
about our own weight-appeared in
the channel, while the second remain
ed in concealment behind Molokai.
Already the news had reached Homo
lulu of the disaster to our, fleet at Pa
mama. Furthermore, it was known
that no reinforcement could be ex-
pected from the Pacific Coast, since
Seattle, Portland and San Francisco
were in terror lest a fleet should
come coasting down from the north
and threaten bonlbardment. Our pre-
yious disasters had driven reason away
and no argument as to the strength OF
our coast defenses or of the impossi-
bility of battleships operating seven
thousand miles from their base could
persuade our coast-dwellers of their
safety Particularly was this true in
San Francisco, which had risen from
its ashes in wonderful splendor.
Cut off from all immediate hope Of
reinforcement, our fleet at Pearl Har-
Dor sailed forth to battle, little realiz-
ing the force with which it had to
cope. Under the support of the guns
from Moanalua the battle began, but
is was plainly the desire of the Japa-
nese fleet to draw the Americans away
from their land support. From an eye
witness I have since learned that it
first appeared that the American fleet
was driving on to a glorious victory.
Our craftsmanship was something
wonderful to behold, and slowly the
japanese were driven away from the
channel and out to the open sea, orr
own fleet pursuing The land guns be-
came silent as the range heightened,
and all eyes were strained to the north.
Suddenly, from the south. around Mo-
lokai, appeared the second Japanese
squadron, the three great battleships,
four armored cruisers, three smaller
cruisers, preparing to engage the land
batteries separately. simultaneously
with this came a land attack from
10000 Japanese, organized, armed and
equipped. The first bombardment of
the incomplete land batteries from the
war ships was terrific, and, when it
ceased, the Japanese land forces
swarmed like ants into the batteries |
and captured the guns. Now between |
two fires and without the support of |
It's land batteries the American feet, |
overwhelmed by weight |
IF metal and without refuge, fought |
until the last star on the highest PEN
lant had sunk beneath the waves,
The Japanese suffered severe damage,
put our own repair shops were now
heirs, and the key to the Pacific was
n their hands.

THE "vIAvI' SYSTEM OF TREAT
MENT.

That doctors will disagree is yer.
natural There are large number o
people who don't believe in operation
The Viavi Company is reported as no
neously. Some operations they believe
are necessary, but for the most part, il
seems they believe that curative meth
DDS are better. This is a doctrine
which the Viavi Company has preach
ed and practiced for over twenty
years, and it finds it's echo in the as
sertions of many of the ablest leading
medical men, and notably in the Bos'
ton Medical and Surgical Journal OF
November 20, 1906. and the New York
Medical Journal of December 16, 1906
An unusual, unique and interesting
fact as to the business of the ViaVi
Company is that it is conducted large
ly by the women who have been cured.
1t extends all over the world. Upon in
vestigation, it is found that the author
OF the attacks on the Viavi Company
appears to be a man with no practice;
he does not appear to be very web
known, although he has been a long
time in San Francisco. There does not
appear anywhere fragrant evidences of
the success Of his methods. There does
appear everywhere the evidence Of sue
cess of the Viavi methods. These may
not occur in every instance. The
founders do not believe they can guar
antee success in every case. There is
one fact that stands in salient relief,
and that is that the modern trend has
been largely in the direction of natural
methods.
The Viavi people have been staunch
of San Francisco--none more
so. Men Of character and reputation
do not live in a community for twenty
years without being thoroughly known,
and every one who knows the laws
knows that they are men of probity and
standing, and it is generally conceded
that there are no men in the city who
have done more to rehabilitate it by
placing every dollar of their earnings
in action. The Viavi building on Pine
street, near Stockton, is the highest
type of class "A'' reinforced concrete
construction in the city. 1t is just be-
ing completed. 1t covers a quarter or
an acre of ground. The Newsletter
regrsts exceedingly that the photo
graph of this building was not ready in
time for publication in this issue.
1t is probably an interesting fact, not
commonly known, that it takes twenty
dollars TO sell the first dollars worth
of any proprietary remedy. Unless th5.
is good, unless it creates
friends, unless it accomplishes the pur-
pose which it attempts, that nineteen
dollars is lost. There are thousands
upon thousands of proprietary reme-
dies upon which enormous fortunes
have been lost. The good remedies tell
their own story!-F'rom San Francisco

Department had scarcely made any
adequate preparations. Our Pacific
Squadron had not been augmented
for, as the Panama Canal had been
opened in 1915, 1t was felt that we could
quickly reinforce it. Olongapo, Subig
Bay, in the Philippines had been select
ed as the naval station not without
opposition from naval authorities. bas-
ed chiefly on the ground that it was
forty-five miles from Manila, which
was consequently left unprotected. The
sum of five million dollars had been
appropriated for naval station there
by the Sixty-first Congress, but, while
some repairshops had been erected and
supplies furnished, little had been done
to make 1t worthy of the name. Here,
previous to the departure of the Ken
lucky, were three battleships and four
armored cruisers, while at Manila were
one battleship, two armored cruisers,
four small cruisers and three Of the
old type monitors.
In his message to Congress in 1908
president Roosevelt pointed out that
1.-THE most important step in the Paci-
fic Ocean is the fertilization of Pearl
Harbor," in the Hawaiian Islands. Be-
cause of the personal interest in the
naval station at Subig Bay and per-
haps, also, because of the enormous
expenditures incident upon the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal, this
warning had not been fully needed.
The Hawaiian Islands are the only
spots of land in the Pacific Ocean north
of the Equator where a ship may coal,
get water or supplies. They were our
outposts-our base for operation
against an enemy two thousand miles
from our coast line or, as the case
unhappily has proved, the basis of at
tack. a menace in the hands of the
enemy. Had President Roosevelt's
warning been needed in time, the
country's state of mind would today
have been far different and a more
agreeable history might have been
written.
Here were two battleships, one coast
defense ship, two armored cruisers, and
seven unprotected cruisers, while
along the Pacific Coast, at Mare ISL
and, and at Puget Sound were six
battleships, six coast-defense ships,
four armored cruisers and sixteen I'M
protected cruisers, together with
eight torpedo-boat destroyers. fifteen
torpedo-boats and eight submarines.

Brenton. His plan is to drive a tun-
mel at an altitude of 5000 feet. at
which point he can reach the ledge
in 200 feet OF tunneling; another at
an altitude of 5000 feet, where he can
reach the same ledge in 400 feet, also
TO do much prospecting work such as
short tunnels and shafts. His main
effort is to reach the copper deposits
with the least cost.
Mr. BrentOn's system consisted OF
running from the other side on the
Black Bear property in which he cal
culated TO reach the ore deposits His
main idea was to rapidly develop rne
property and of course this plan was
the more costly. During Mr.. Bren-
tons stay with the company he eX-
tended the wagon road to an altitude
of 100 feet. Mr.. Schult is at present
planning a gravity railroad which will
be built at a cost of $4,000 and will
run from an altitude of 5000 feet to
the highest point OF the wagon lvao.
100 feet. This will be determined
upon within the next ten days.
Mr.. Schultz is we'll known in finan-
cial circles, being an organizer of the
American Bridge Company and is well
known as a builder of railroads.
Another change at the property is
the resignation of Harry Shipman as
superintendent. Mr.. Shipman has re-
signed to take a position in Old Mex,
leo. His position will be filled by
Harry Amphlett, who is well known in
Bisbee, as the builder of the Shattuck
tramway. The change will take eff

ANOTHER CASE Of
SMALL POK
FOUND
loIp Davis Now in Pest House.
His Boarding Place on Claw

tors Not Alarmed.

The city has on hand another case
of smallpox contracted from an en-
tirely new source. The patient is John
Davis, young man about 22 years OF
age. He has been boarding on Claw.
son Hill and in accordance with the
law governing contagious diseases
the place has been quarantined. Dav,
is has been taken to the temporary
pest house which has been located
near the Spray shaft.
AS is usual in such cases the symp'
toms of the disease did not appear
until the end of two weeks. Davis
then began to complain of his bach
hurting and of fever. A physician
who was called in, after an examina
ton pronounced the disease to be
smallpox. The city physician was no
titled and the case placed in his charge
The other patient at the camp is pref
ty sick. but is considered to be max
ing favorable progress towards recoy
ert.
The local physicians are not alarm
ed at the new case and express con
fidence in being able to check the
spread of the disease. 1t is thought
that the disease has been introduced
into the camp by some of the many
Mexicans who have come over from
Cananea.
