Mobility of Floating Drydocks.

So useful has proven to be the floating
drydock Dewey at her distant station in
the Philippines that the Navy Department
Is considering the propriety of recommend
ing to Congress the construction of another
such dock to be used on the Atlantic. 1t Is
proposed to make these docks mobile in the
sense that they can be towed to the near
est safe port where an American fleet is
operating, 50 as to be available for at least
temporary repairs IL any Of the big ships
are injured. hTe success attending the
transfer of the Dewey half away around
the world has convinced the naval officers
that it is entirely profitable to thus attach
q floating drydock to a fleet on special
service.

that organization commanders are not au-
thorized to send armed private soldiers
to arrest other soldiers absent In the city of
Leavenworth or elsewhere. Reliable nom
commissioned officers will be used when
arms are deemed necessary. and all are
cautioned that no private premises should
be entered except by authority of an officer

long Illness.
Morris fortune is estimated at $685.

go to the widow, some to charity and
faithful employees, and the remainder
to their four children.
Morris had been i'll three years

HOOD RIVER WILL ADVERTISE
Half Page Advertisement in 800, 900
Folders.

o. G. Ball, advertising manager
for the Union Pacific railroad, was
in the city Tuesday and made ar
rangements with the Commercial club
to carry a one-half page ad in the
companys folders for the ensuing six
months says the Hood River News
Letter.
The railroad company proposes to
issue $4,000 folders for each
month for six consecutive months, and
each months issue will carry the
Hood River advertisement, which
may be changed in each issue if the
club so desires. The plan is to place
the write-up of the valley directly
opposite the schedule of the trains as
they refer to Hood River.
The publicity committee recently
appointed by the Commercial club
will arrange the subject matter, and
it is their purpose to place great
stress upon the water power, apple
industry, strawberry growing, timber
facilities, scenic excellency and eli
matte advantages of the valley
1t was suggested that the city
should be kept in the background
and the emphasis placed upon the
unparalleled opportunities of the val
ley These folders will come into the
hands of thousands of homeseekers
who are westward bound with nc
definite destination, and 1t is reason
able to suppose that they will induce
many of the travellers to procure q
stop over in Hood River.

Blue Grass saloon on North Twt a
seventh street late yesterday at -
noon, Charles Fisher, with a lai z
dose of advice and in good nature
way, tried to josh Lawson about tn.
way that he handled his cue. Ugly
words passed and soon the men were
doing battle. Lawson hit Fisher a
severe blow over the left temple and
he struck the wall of the building
with such force that his neck was
broken.
A physician was hurriedly sent for,
but when he arrived Fisher had
breathed his last. Lawson, when he
saw that he had fatally injured his
opponent, made no attempt to escape,
but calmly assisted the injured man
as much as he could. He loafed
around the saloon for several minutes
until placed under arrest.

Shaniko, Ore, Aug. 27.-(Special.)
IT. Mcconnell sheepherder, was
shot and killed by Tom Hale,
gambler, at the Columbia Southern
hotel here, about o'clock yesterday
morning. The shooting took place in
the hotel barroom, the quarrel SEEM
matter, both parties having been
drinking. With no apparent cause,
Hale pulled a six shooter and fired
three shots, two entering the left
breast and one severing the jugular,
Mcconnell dying almost instantly.
While the men were in a heated
argument and creating a disturbance,
S. A. Wright, proprietor of the house,
went for Marshal Reeder. When
they returned to the barroom, Nc
Connell was lying on the floor a
corpse. II seems there was no i'm
mediate attempt to arrest the MUIR
murderer, and he left the scene, going
across the street to a saloon, but not
being able to get in, entered a lodg-
ing house next door. In short time
the marshal, followed by several
armed men, found Hale in the lodg-
ing house and with very little trou-
BILE succeeded in Handwriting and
placing him in the city Jail.
This morning Marshal Reeder is
taking Hale to the county Jail at The
Dalles, to be held for trial.
Hale was on his way to Burns,
where he claims residence He has
bad reputation in this part of the
country, having been arrested some
time ago, after a quarrel with Jim
keiney, who was at that time the
proprietor of the Columbia Southern
hotel Just before the shooting took
place, Hale was heard to say, eff
isn't you that l want; it is Keiney."
Three shots followed immediately.
Mrs. Wright, sister of Jim Keiney.
hearing this from above, thinking
that Hale might take revenge on her
husband, screamed to him and was
near prostration until she was told
he was safe.
From what can be learned here,
no-one seems to know much about T.
Mcconnell, more than that he was
employed by the Baldwin Sheep and
Land company, having just come in
with several other men from the
ranch the evening before in charge
of several thousand sheep from Hay
creek to be shipped out of here to-
day. Those who know Mcconnell re-
port him to be a peaceable fellow of
good habits, and there having been
no previous trouble between these
men, the shooting seems unaccount-
able. The body is still held here,
awaiting disposition by relatives, if
they can be located.
