DRYDOCKS TO BE LARGER-The contract for
the completion of Drydock No at the navy yard
at Brooklyn has not yet been formally closed but
the representative of the lowest bidder has Deen III
Washington in consultation with the Secretary OF
the Navy and the chief of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks. It is proposed to change the spec1hca-
tions to construct a dock fifty feet longer
than was originally planned in the first contract
which had to be cancelled on account OF the ldlure
of the builder to proceed with the Work since Au-
gust 1906. The dock will be about $40 feet in
length. This Is in view of the increased dlspldce-
ment of battIeships. and it is desired by the ON
cias TO have at Brooklyn the latest and best fac1l
ties for docking vessels. The new dock would be
even larger If it not for the presence or a
sewer the head of the dock, which prevents lts
extension. Then too, the power house plant has
been placed In such position as to interfere with
adding much more to the length. The other docks
at New York are not in the best condition, and
instructions have been given that the greatest care
shall exercised in protecting the docks from in
jury, with view to making them last until Dry
dock No. is ready for use This Is expected TO
be nearly three years.

Gathers Berries and Nuts

Los Angeles, Oct. Z. 1908.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
/ will try to tell you what ] like best.
! like farm life best OF all. i like the
free life of the country when can go
berrying, gathering nuts and wild fiow-
ers, and chase the horses to the barns,
and hunt the hens and turkeys and
their nests. / like them to come flying
home from the cornfield at my call.
/ like to bride the favorite horse and
scamper off into the pasture, among
the dark woods and running streams in
search of COWS.
There is no life to me quite so dear as
a home life on a farm.
The next thing I would like to do
would be to visit the birthplaces of
each of our presidents; also the graves
of the soldiers who gave up their lives
for our country. How are you getting
along? I am getting along nicely in
school. / am taking up sewing this
year. Farewell.

DESIRES GOOD EDUCATION

Bell, Cal, Oct. 9, 1908.
Dear Aunt Laurie-I read in The
Herald that girls and boys should write
a composition on What / Like Best"
The subject that like best is edu-
cation. Why l like 1t best Is because
1t is the foundation of civilization.
When you are not educated you are
not known among the educated people.
Another reason Is that the educated
people can get situation quicker than
the uneducated ones.
For instance, take a stenographer.
She starts her daily work at a. m.
and quits at p. m. But take a serv-
ant-she starts at an early hour in
the morning and does not get through
until p. M, and she does not get as
much wages as the more educated Ste
nographer.
So IL I ever have the opportunity 1
will tr yand get an education, which
is what like best.
1 am 13 years old. Your unknown
niece, - FANNIE FRIEZE.
Bell school, grade z.
am afraid your ideas regarding the
working hours which competent Ste
nographers keep are not exactly right,
but your idea that an education Is
TO be desired over all things is most
commendable one. I shall hope to
hear from you again, and try and re-
member, Fannie, that l like to have
letters come which are written on one
side of the paper only.

POLITICAL NOTES

There are three candidates filed for land commits
soner but the two leading candidates are b. W. Ross
and S. A. Calvert with Judge Navarro tagging in the
back ground This will be straight contest, the
highest man winning out as there will be no second
choice Ross has the patronage of his office to help
his cause along and that will count for good deal
Calvert was commissioner in days past and made
many friends on whom he is depending for support
at this time.
Whether Mr. Bullock will be able to take any
votes from j. H. Schivey is quite question just
now If the P.-I. does not make an open fight
against Mr. Schvey ne will not and Schivey will be
nominated hands down.
C. W. Cleusen officially speaking has some oppo-
ston for state auditor but tits not believed that the
opposition will develop any formidable strength no
not enough to be more than able to say after the
fight is over, Il also ran"
The contest for secretary of state Is a straight
fight between Sam H. Nichols and |. M. Howell If
the P.-I opens up it's guns against Mr.. Nichols 1t
will give him trouble but if it leaves that particular
fight severely alone so far its columns are con-
cerned, Capt Howells will not be picked winner.

sion that he acted hastily in dismissng the boys.
Wholesome fun and good practical jokes are right IN
or out of college, but in the case OF young man
whose classmates tied him to the rails of a switch
and left him there in untold agony while the incoming
train thundered by not three feet distant upon the
main track; and when this young man was treed by
his laughing classmates and found to be ravlng
maniac and had to be committed to the insane asy-
lum causes the blood of parents to run colo with
fear and apprehension for the fate OF those dear ones
away at college whom they have brought into the
world and upon whom they lavish love and devotion
The student bodies in our colegs seem to have gone
mad over the practice of haZing, for not only IS II
heard of in connection with the leading colleges for
men, but it is also common to the institutions OF
learning for women. Girls just entering woman
hood are sent from their homes by fond parents TO
the companionship of other girls at college, who sub
iect them to such indgnites as blndtoldng them
and then informing them that they must partake OF
bowl of worms prepared and then conpellng ii InG
to eat what seems to the outraged girls, to be really
a wriggng mass of worms, but which IN reality
is only raw macaroni soaked in water. AnothefOrm OF
entertainment in which the young LADIES' nave peen
known to indulge stripping their victims and after
codly and cruelty informing them that their nesh Is
to be scared with red hotrons which the victims see
prepared pieces of ice are applied to the exposed
flesh instead while the blindfoed girl screams for
mercy Is it therefore any wonder that beneVo-
lent and humane president, who is likewise loving
parent would not uphold the authorities in college
who are making strenuous efforts to abolish sucn
practices. When opportunity comes to the head
of nation to put stamp of dsapproVal upon such
damnable practices it seems a shame for hlm TO pe
forced to rescind order of censure and ADMIT NM
self in error. How much more worthy and IN Keep
inc with the nobility Of character always hltnerto
