THE American jackie does not
walt for times of war to show
his bravery.
In peace he is equally courag-
eous, and again and again Incl
dents arise to show the stuff of which
Uncle Sans naval fighting man is made.
Only few daysfago the country thrilled
at the daring of the men who saved the
Indiana by carrying out the dynamite
when an explosion threatened that would
have ruined the ship and blown hundreds
of men to atoms. This accident came
only matter of a couple of months after
the catastrophe on the Georgia, when
eight men were killed in a turret explo-
sion. their comrades giving the same
matchless exhibition of courage in a most
critical situation. Then barking back
few years is the never-to-be forgotten in
cident of the Maine and Bill Anthony,
when after the Spaniards had blown up
the Inflated vessel in the harbor of
Havana Anthony preserved discipline by
quietly walking into Capt. Sigsbee's cabin |
and announcing, while the vessel was
about sinking, that an explosion had |
sealed her doom.
In every one of these instances, and |
there are many others, there is shown |
spirit of matchless devotion to duty, |
proving that no matter how terrible the |
situation the training of the American
sailor will not permit him to forget what
is expected of him.
Men who have closely studied .he naval
history of the United States say that this
stoical Indifference to danger comes |
through generations of fighting men who
get their sea nerve. to speak, from. the |
dangers they were constantly called on to
undergo before the days Of the breech |
loading and rapid fire guns.
Old-Time Danger.
This was the day of the muZze loader,
and it developed many a hero whose name
never got into the records. but who.
nevertheless, played his glorious part In
the victories that make American naval
annals so brilliant.
The od-time gun crews We're JUST as
keen for making records as are their
successors OF today. and it was In these
tests for rapid firing that the matchiess
courage of the men deve loped.
When a shot was fired one member OF
the gun crew leaped forward, with MS
swab to clean out tlfe muZZle. While an
other stood at the side ready to ram nome
a fresh charge of powder as soon as the
cleaner had finished his work. w nile
these men worked at the front or the
gun another stood at the rear with ms
thumb pressed tightly over the prlmlng

The fire was discovered in the early
morning. and by the time Lieut.. Com
mander ]. L. Sticht knew Of the blaze
the powder boxes and she lis were 50 hot
that only to touch them was to be burned.
Nothing daunted. the men rushed into
the hold and went to dork to remove
them to a place of safety as unconcern-
edly as though they were nothing more
than so many packages Of the most nom
combustible material made instead of one
Of the deadliest.
1t was no easy task to remove fifty tons
of powder. The boxes we're full Of car
fridge shaped packages. each of which
held about fifty pounds, and when the
men took hold Of them 1t was like grasp
ing an ember that was ready to burst into
flames,
The shells weigh between LOO and
1900 pounds apiece, and are not easily
handled at any time. With their cases SO
heated that they had already begun to
smoke, the task was doubly difficult.
The men kept bravely at work until the
sixty or seventy projectiles stored In the
magazine all had been removed and dan

400 Cars Fruit from The Dalles.

In my opinion 400 cars of fruit,
and perhaps more, will be shipped
out of The Dalles this season, says
Commissioner Weber. This includes
the shipments by express.
At the packing houses of The
Dalles Fruit company and r. H.
Weber large numbers of women and
girls are busily employed packing the
fruit, and in the former also prepar-
ing II for canning.
Prunes and pears are receiving at
tention and they are both large
crop; unusually large, 1t might be
said Yesterday a car of Hungarian
and Italian prunes were sent out from
the Weber packing house, and seven
cars of fruit have preceded this from
this house. Ten Of fresh fruit have
been sent out by The Dalles Fruit
company, not to mention the canned
product, which is being shipped all
over the east.
The trouble this year is not in get
ting the fruit so much as in securing
sufficient help to get them ready for
shipment. OF prunes, peaches, plums
and pears there is an immense yield
in this vicinity, but help is scarce
