Charles Edmundson Writes Of Hin
Long Sea Trin.

Long Sea Trip.
Earl Verckler has received the fol-
lowing interesting letter from Charles
Edmundson Of this city who Is with
the United States signal service:
i MAGDALENA BAY, Mexico, Feb. s.
We went to France and did not re-
turn to New York until few
months ago, You say that the Navy
will make a man Of me. and It will II
they don't kill me. Jack 1t is q great
place and you ought to be with me.
We left New York on the first of
October for our long journey around
the Horn. We first stopped at Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, and stayed about two
weeks, then we started on our long
journey on the twelfth Of October
with the U. s. A. Tennessee, flagship.
She Is the same class as this one. We
passed the st. Lucia, the st. Vincent,
and several other islands and there
were lots Of sights for me to see. We
anchored in the bay Of Port Of Spain,
Trinidad, British West Indies, on the.
eighteenth Of the the same month. I
went ashore and had fine time
sporting with my shipmateS and saw
some Of the strangest things ever
expect to see In all my life.
l saw Coolie Town and the Leper
Asylum, sight which would almost
make you faint II you should see it.
All Of the money is English and easy
to savy. We sailed for Rio de
Janerio, Brazil, ON the 22nd. Rio was
a fine place. The inhabitants were all
Spaniards and Portugees. The town
has several pretty parks and one Of
the finest streets l have ever seen.
Rio has one Of the finest harbors in
5he world. There were several mem
,f-war there besides US.
We left there on the twelfth Of
November for Montevideo. Uruguay.
We got there on the sixteenth and
'nChored about six or eight miles out.
I is the largest city in that country
md has some OF the swellest streets
nd parks ever seen. We left there
n the twenty-third for Sandy Point,
hill. 1t is in the Straits Of Magel-
IN.
1t took about iorty-eight hours to
ct through and it was very rough.
lali Of the ships company was sea
ck. You wouldn't think that waves
'ould cover this ship but there was
'ur ton sailing launch on the super
tructure Of the deck. The waves
roke that loose and we nearly lost 1t.
was certainly glad to get out Of the
traits. We came to Callao, Peru,
len to Appulca, Mexico, from thers
La Pas and ! am now In Magdalena
ay where we have target practice l
mt tell when will get to the States'
at expect 1t will not be long, When

'ed and thirty-six men, officers and
ew, four ten-inch guns, which thr "
Iells weighing $50 pounds. Besides
Ie other armament we carry, she is
"A feet long and weighs $4,000 tons

newspaper discussion except Mr.
White, Prof. Anderson and myself
but as this is campaign OF education
wish to make some further com,
ments.
In regard to the limit on bonded
Indebtedness Sec. 45 Of the law gov.
erning cities of the second class pro-
vides that at no time shall the bonded
Indebtedness exceed ten per cent Of
the assessed valuation as shown by
the assessment rolls Of the year pre-
vious to the one In which the last is
sue Of bonds is made. The assessed
valuation Of the city last year was
$646,171. Ten per cent OF this
amount is $64,617, so that with $751;
900 refunding, park, and sewer bonds
outstanding, we are within ell,5O0 Of
the limit under this law. Prof. An
dreson says that the above amount Of
$6S.OOO is Insignificant and that other
cities the size Of Abilene have from
two TO three times the above indebt-
edness.
II other cities the size Of Abilene
can issue bonds to the amount Of
800, 900 osl5O, 900 they have learned
some way to evade the legal limita-
tiou above referred to not understood
in this locality.
Prof. Anderson makes some other
statements which are important II
true. For instance, he says the inter-
section at Spruce and Second is 4OxSO |
ieet, one-half of which would be paid |
Tor by the city. Who would pay for
The other halfp Again he says that
The expense Of keeping up paved
street is very small and that the Sa-
ina pavement had not been swept for

wept for SIX months. But am in
ormed that Salina keeps one man at
work all the time on her paved streets
which means at least $40 per month
r as much as we pay our cemetery
