NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The Army an

ton today, quotes from the San Fran
cisco Call it's recent editorial. conclud
ng as follows:
A little argument and a few facts
would be more to the purpose than
silly abuse. The Call said nothing
about personal training of the line
except In terms of the highest
praise. We have not hesitated.
however, to condemn the back
wardness of the construction bu-
reau, and this opinion is shared by
every competent authority on naval
affairs in America and in Europe,
except the officials who are them
selves under fiSe. Now, if the
Register wants any facts in sup
port of that opinion, we can supply
boatload of them.
The Register then says:
Nevertheless and notwithstand-
ing, the San Francisco Call is
wrong, and it may still be wrong
Notwithstanding what is said or
has been said of the case by all
the other daily papers and Golfers
Weekly in the bargain. The San
Francisco Call has been one of the
most virulent critics of the navy.
It's remarks, with the comments
II
papers, led Rear Admiral Sperry
the other day .to refer to the un-
friendly attitude toward the service
of the newspapers in that section
of the country.
1t is remarkable that there
should be any such feeling toward
the navy on the Pacific coast as is
manifest in some of those news
papers which presumably may be
accepted as rejecting, if they don't
inspire, public sentiment 1t may
be added In a somewhat personal
allusion, from which we are in
clined at all times to refrain, that
the Army and Navy Register is one
of the last papers in the country to
be charged with supporting the ad-
ministratiOn whether it Is right or
wrong. We have never hesitated
to indulge in criticism of the naval
administration or the president of
the United States when we believed
the situation justified an expression
of that sort.
A discussion in the daily papers,
especially those as far away from
the navy department as is the San
Francisco Call, may very well pro-
ceed with caution, If not downright
discretion, in applying It's epithets
upon any branch of the United States
navy. Assuming that there are
things that need to be corrected in
the navy department administration
and in the methods of naval ship
design, construction and equipment,
1t ought to be realized that the Of
ficers who have been trained for
that work, both of the line and
staff. and who are charged with the
grave responsibility of disbursing
public money in the creation and
, maintenance of an efficient naval
force. are men at least honest in
their Intentions
Experts may differ in opinion con-
corning technical matters, 1t is con-
ceivable, without one or the other
side of the controversy being black
guards or horse thieves, and the
recognition of this possibility by
such papers as the San Francisco
Call, with it's long range attack on
the integrity of the naval personnel,
would at least contribute to the
reputation for intelligence and JUS
tice which newspaper might covet
as a valuable asset.

The Deaf

That the vast majority of Hearing
Devices are inefficient or entirely use
less is undoubtedly the fact 1t is
therefore necessary that an instrument
which really does make the deaf hear
distinctly should prove itself beyond
question to the prospective purchaser
before a purchase is concluded.
The General Acoustic Co are GLAD
TO demonstrate To ALL deaf people that
the ACQUISITION will make them hear
INSTANTLY. are ANXIOUS to prove
without question that unless the audi
tory nerve is entirely destroyed you
CANNOT HELP hearing distinctly; and
If you do not hear with 1t after a trial
they Will say to you: I'VE do not

purchaser can do us more harm than
ten times the profit on the Instrument"
If you cannot call at our Office and

inform you how you may test it before
purchasing.
The ACQUISITION electrically magnifies

During the morning hours a fairly
good business was done, but 1t was not

really arrived Then the members OF
the league and their friends, children
from the various orphanages and hun
dreds of visitors who were drawn by
curiosity streamed through the little

were the women of the league, pinning
little yellow badges on their guests,
directing, advising. marshaling the
crowds. and never too busy to stop their
work and place an effective little argu-

WEATHER DOESN'T DETRACT
Rather gloomy weather did not seem
to detract from the outdoor attractions,
especially when, at dusk, thousands of
electric globes helped to make the
scene brilliant. All afternoon the chill

The fortune tellers did a thriving busi-
ness. and delicious home made sand

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON MAIL DELIVERY
No Money Available However I'm
til New Appropriation
Is Secured.

Grants Pass will not receive free
city delivery on January first as has
been expected. The inspector who
visited this place some weeks ago
found conditions all right, the bust
ness sufficient, houses numbered.
sidewalks satisfactory and every
other requirement of the department
fully complied with and made his re-
port recommending that this city be
given free delivery. Everything is
in readiness and the new system
would be inaugurated at once, but
for the fact that the Postoffice De-
partment Is out of funds. Post
master Donnell received letter this
week from the first assistant post
master general, stating that, while
Grants Pass is entitled to receive
free delivery 1t is impossible to be-
gin the service until more money is
available to pay for it. An appro-
priation has been asked for to cover
this expense as well as other cities in
like condition but until congress
gets around to the postoffice appro-
priation bill, nothing can be done.
Of course there is no assurance that
even when the appropriation bill is
passed that it will contain sufficient
sum to provide for the cities which
nave grown to such an extent In the
past year as to be entitled to delivery,
but 1t is probable that it will. Here
is work for our congressional dele
CATION to do and as there are a mum
Der of places in Oregon in the same
fix that Grants Pass is, our delega-
tion to Washington will probably be
alive to their duty. Ashland has
also been favorably reported upon
and will also have to await the ap
preparation.

II. Il. Pierce a. Co.'s Big Production,
"In Wyoming" Here.

At the Opera House December 26,
II. e. Pierce & Co. will offer their
great, virile western play, I'm Wy
oming." It is from the pen of Will
ard Mack, and is one of the most am
bilious and pretentious this talented
actor-author has thus far attempted.
For his characters Mr.. Mack has
gone to big cattle ranch near Cas-
per, Wyoming, and will give us a
glimpse of life among the cowpunch-
ers In the early sos.
There is always an indefnable
charm about the stories of the from
tier and Mr.. Mack has striven to re-
tain this western charm in the char
acters in his successful play. Among
the characters in the play may be
mentioned Bob Ricketts,. typical
young Westerner, who makes love
to the pretty young Easterner, Jen-
ME Summers; Dave Dalby, the ranch
owner; Hank Jones. the neighboring
rancher, who is q regular comic" ;
Steve Gordon, the leader of band
of cattle thieves and a vengeful but
repentant wooer of the charming
Jennie Summers; Bossy, Hank Jones
daughter, who has an affinity" in
the person OF Willie Settle, the
breezy young Ter, who talks
| like a human graph, so fast
in fact, that ght be led to
suppose that er was an auc-
tioneer; Mrt. ,, everybody s
friend and mother. So 1t will be
seen that phases of life on the open
range form the basis of the story
but the hand of the author easily
avoids the hackneyed subjects that
have 30 long served in western
plays.
1t Is a strong play with numerous
dramatic scenes and situations, fine
character studies and bright dia-
logue. Wholesome comedy is freely
injected to relieve the pathos. II. Il.
Pierce n Co. have supplied an excel
lent cast and the production is a
heavy one. Tickets may be reserved
at Russell's Confectionery Store.
