OF course, Japan's intentions may be
entirely pacific, but American naval
officers are more inclined to think that
they are directed toward the Pacific.
The NlkadO's Empire has Just stolen
march off the United States and has
done this country out of little retail
purchase of war material by making
wholesale purchase and practically
cOrnering the torpedo market of the
world for sometime to come. Th
United States recently started negotia-
tiOns with the WhiteheaGs of England
for the purchase of fifty of their newe;
and best torpedoes. There has beeu a
great Development in this naval
weapon of late years The new torpe-
does are twenty instead of sixteen in
ches in diameter, and have a speed of
over thirty knots an hour. They have
rendered the old type obsolete, and all
the powers are experimenting with
them more or less. This country was
dickering on the price and delivery
time of the little consignment of fifty,
and while we were waiting, Japan step
ped in and ordered /, ,OCO of the latest
type at an expense of about So, 900, 900.
Japan proved during the Russian war
that torpedo work was her forte, and
she evidently is minded to be prepared
for business in the same line when she
has to fight again. Nations do not buy
tOrpedoes in thousand lots for practice
either.

city Growth Continues.

The development of clarksburg
goes steadily on. Perhaps, 1t is not
as perceptlbIe as IT was half a dozen
years ago. but when any thing gets
large, additional growth is not so
apparent, though it may in fact be
much greater. In the spring time,
for instance. one can almost see the
blades of grass or other vegetation
growing, but as the grass or other
things near the harvest time, though
lit is still growing, its growth is not
so much discernible. So, 1t is with
clarksburg. The city has grown to
such immense proportions that the
constant growth now is not so much
observed. But, when the true sit
uation and conditions are carefully
inspected, 1t Is very plain that the
city is going forward at a rapid pace.
Perhaps, few give any thought to
what the granting of building per-
mits at every meeting of the city
council means. They pass it by
thoughtlessly and without even
noticing it. They do this only to
he amazed, when their attention is
arrested to the fact that the grant
ing of these building permits mean
enormous building operations con-
stantly. True, 1t is there Is not an
immensely of work represented by
some sessions of the council, but at
Others and most all action is taken
that signifies that there is great
deal of building activity. For in
stance, at the last session of the city
council in the neighborhood of forty
building permits were granted.
These were for nice business and
dwelling houses and the total cost of
them all is represented to be at
least one hundred and twenty-seven
thousand dollars. This is a con-
servative estlmate-in fact, the first
estimate and does not include the
many extras, and thus may It be said
that the aggregate cost of buildings
authorized at a single session of the
city council is one hundred ana
fifty thousand dollars.
These and the hundreds of other
building permits granted by the
council during the year pertain only
to building operations within the
city limits, and. in addition to these,
there are numerous buildings in
course of construction in the several
large and thriving suburbs. Be-
sides, factories are being erected and
others are undergoing enlargement.
These are hopeful conditions and
preclude the possibility of any
truthfulness in a complaining asser-
ton that there is nothing doing in
the expansion of Clarksburg.

Hospital for Consumptiyes.

Zoe great Wnlte plague is the
worst disease that can seize human
being and most dreaded because of
its hereditary nature. 1t is an ex-
peustve thing to go to the West or
the South in search of health. Some
times such sojourns prove sufficient,
but much more frequently they are
taken too late. These facts make 1t
imperative on the part of the States
and local communities to take every
possible action toward the suppress
sion OF the disease and the treat
ment OF those seized with it, as well
as to protect others from 1t.
DIR. L. A. Davidson, of West Mil
ford, has given considerable thought
TO solution of the situation in West
Virginia and has arrived at con
illusions that are worthy of public
consideration. DR.. Davidson sug-
gests that hospital be established
in this State for consumptives by
state endowment and philanthropical
gifts. DR.. Davidson, the Telegram
believes. has discovered the proper
location for such hospital-one
that is not to be equalled any where
in the State. This statement is bas-
ed on several reasons and facts. 1t
is known far and wide that there has
not beeen typhoid fever case con
tracted in West Milford for forty
years, which fact means that that
section OF country and its atmos-
phere are free from disease in the
largest possible measure. The air
is light and pure and springs of the
finest water abound there in large
number. The water is not only pure
but 1t appears to be medicinal, and
is of character that prevents dis
ease.
In speaking of the project suggest
ed DR.. Davidson says he is claiming
that the plateau Of more than a mile
east and west and about one-half a
mile wide Astounding with many
fine springs flowing from the north
and south sides of this plateau, with
pure air, life-prolonging water,
quietude because of the remoteness
from noise and revelry and poison
Gus gases and dust, would be the
proper and most favorable location
he knows of for such an institution.
DR.. Davidson does not propose to
dictate what point of land shall be
used. but will be pleased in behalf
of the consumptives of the State to
have it located somewhere east of
the main part of the town OF West
Milford. He suggests several loca-
lions, naming the Lawson property,
the old Stout farm. the Hickman
homestead, the Isaac Lynch place.
the John w. Highland farm or the
John e Highland place All are
protected by distant hills and nearby
natural groves.
All there drink water from the
springs and wells flowing from the
base of the deep and filtered strata.
Assuredly these are an reasons and
facts that would appeal to the state
and the people to experiment at least
IN the matter of a hospital there
for consunfptives. The eradication
Of this disease is uppermost in the
minds Of leading medical and other
men every where. and the sugges-
ton made by DR.. Davidson ought to
be carefully taken mp and given dus
consideration.
Tose in position TO do 50 should
make an active campaign for the
establishment OF such a hospital
there, il the suggestions made and
