Cruise of Revenue Cutter.

The United States revenue cutter Apache,
on her last cruise on the bay, found the
schooner Only Son. Capt. WV. Reynor,
lying in the Ratuxent river with her sails
frozen and so badly damaged that they
could not be used. The vessel was also
leaking. Capt. Reynor was anxious to get
his craft to Millenbeck, on the Rappahan-
mock river, and, at his request. Capt. Wild
of the Apache took his vessel in tow and
carried 1t to that river. During the eight
days cruise of the Apache her officers
boarded and inspected forty oyster-dredg-
ing vessels and found them all in first-class
order. and no one aboard them had COM
plant to make of the treatment he was re-
ceiving This condition of affairs shows
that the new anti-shanghaiing law is work
ing well and that the vessel masters are
observing it's requirements On the cruise
the Apache covered 5S1 miles on the bay.
The cutter will leave Baltimore today with
a new launch, which she Will deliver to the
master of the cutter Onondaga at Norfolk.

DIVISION OF CITY.
Building Inspector Suggests Creation
Of Two Inspection Districts.

Snowden Ashford, building inspector
wants the building laws changed so as to
divide the city into two separate building
inspection districts, and by adopting this
plan he contends that in erecting new
buildings and fire escapes and the installa-
ton Of electric wiring in them many con-
flicts by the local departments of the Dis
trict government would be avoided Ac-
cording to the present arrangements a
newly erected fire escape must be approved
both by the building inspector and the fire
chief. and he thinks that a>regulation which
would only require the approval of either
the building inspector or the fire chief to
erect the fire escape would facilitate better
service and would prove more satisfactory
to the contractors and builders
with the passage of the new fire-escape
law last March,, Mr.. Ashford said yester-
day, II made this recommendation to the
Commissioners, but 1t did not meet with
their approval at the time because they
contended that such an arrangement might
tend to destroy uniformity in the construc-
ton of buildings in different sections of the
city,"

Enlarging Pier at aeisboro.

1t is understood that preparations are be-
ing made at the new steel plant at Gels
boro Point, on the Potomac below this city,
for the reception of the steel material
which is to be worked into shells for the
government as soon as the new plant be-
gins operating. Mr.. James B. Dubel of
Baltimore was in the city day or two
ago arranging for the landing Of the ma
terial at the wharf at the steel plant. The
steel will be brought here in large barges
from Baltimore or other points, but In con-
sequence of the shoal water in front of the
pier the barges will not be able to go up to
1t, but will have to anchor in the channel.
and their cargoes will be carried ashore in
lighters. This method of handling the ma
terial will only be temporary, as the wharf
at the plant is to be greatly enlarged and
will be brought out to deep water The
contractors for the charging of the pier
are now gathering the piles and heavy tim
bers wanted and will in a short time start
the work of extending the wharf to the
channel bank.

FUNSTON THE FURIOUS.

General Friedrich Funston has been
bloviating again. About every so often
this military maggot swells up and
blows off at the mouth, thus AFFORD
ing merriment for the nation and great
satisfaction to the exaggerated ego
of Funston.
Funston is in command of the troops
stationed at the Presidia. San Francis
co. The committee of citizens having
in charge the matter of celebrating the
Fourth of July sent Funston a courte-
GUS note asking him to aid in the cele-
bration by parading the troops. The
shoulder-strapped specimen of SWELL
headed simian replied by saying that
he would not parade his men before
IAN unwhipped mob"
And that isn't all that Friedrich Fun
ston wouldn't do, either. He wouldnt
open his mouth to give credit to COM
rade who performed the deeds which
Funston received credit for. He pre-
ferred to keep his mouth shut then and
profit by the valor of a better man.
He wouldn't dare to measure himself
alongside the Arab who is too much of
a man to betray his host after partak-
ing of his bread and salt.
Funston is a cheap, screw nonenity
wh0pfofited by the readiness OF news
paper string fiends' to satisfy the
cravings of the newspaper reading pub
lie by exploiting Funston. And after
taking to himself credit for things he
never did, Funston won his shoulder
straps by betraying man who trusted
him and whose only offence was in
loving liberty we'll enough to fight for
it. And when Funston was made 4
brigadier general, jumping over the
heads of two hundred better men and
soldiers, it swelled his head up so
much he had to use stepladder to put
on his chapeau.
"Unwhipped mob indeed! That
mob" contains thousand better men
than Friedrich Funston-better men
physically, mentally, morally and
| every other way-men who would
scorn to profit at the expense of g
comrade and who never would grow sc
small as to betray trust in order tt
personally profit thereby.
When such men as this bloviatine
imbecility are given important com
mands in the United States army is il
any wonder that dissertations grow il
number and the discipline and morale
OF the troops fall to low ebb?

Irrigation Is Dis
cuSsed

W. H. Mills, in an interview on the
irr CATION project in Churchill county
gives a very thorough insight into the
4:.cstion. tie says:
81 spent several days examining the
government irrigation praject in
Churchill comfy and can say that the
project is one of the greatest in the
world. 1t has been well carried out
~ the government engineers and /
On slider it one of thc -reatest pieces
Of engineering work in the United
States at the present time, and a work
that is of unlimited value to the our
ery. BY the complete of this work
thousands of people viii be furnish
ed homes, where they viii always have
p comfortable living and may lay aside
considerable wealth for their families.
In carrying. out this work the govern
ment has spent millions of dollars, but
the expenditure has been one that in
s res great prosperity to this portion
of the country, and its real value can
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
Settlers are Protected.
1.-THE government has not only fur
nished an irrigation system for thou
saads of acres of land, but has also
passed a bin making it impossible for
land hogs to secur possession of all
this land, and it's plan is so well arran-
ged that individuals can never control
more than 100 acres of land.
According to the government sys-
tenn of subdivision the land is divided
into~land units Of 80, 120 and 100
acres and each person taking up one
of these pieces Of land may have water
for this amount by hom~esteading and
living upon it. After proving up on
his land a man may sell Il. and his sue
cessor will be furnished water for l60
acres. In case q person tries to buy
rrre than one homestead, however, he
may purchase the land without any
trouble, but after doing so only one
unit will be of benefit to him, al the
government win only furnish water to
one individual for one unit of land, no
matter how many homesteads he may
purchase.
