feared Trouble.

Washington, April %. 1t was
made clear in the debate on the
naval appropriation bill in the
senate that the administration
entertained grave fears ofserious
trouble with Japan at the time
the fleet was sent to the Pacific,
and that the president took the
step simply to prepare the coun-
try for any emergency that might
arise. while the senate will not
give the president four battle
ships, it will increase the apppro-
priation for Golfers and auxiliary
ships. Several senators boldly
made the assertion that the fleet
was not sent to the Pacific for a
spectacular ::show. but Efor a
specific purpose. This has here
tofore been a state secret.

Bio Docket For May.

When the May term Of criminal
court convencs there viii be an
enormous docket ready for trial.
At the present there are over two
hundred cases:on docket, and it
is very likely that not over half
of this ndmbercanbe DISPOSED of
in a weeks term. This will be
probably the largest docket taat
ever accumulated in Durham
county. Court will convene in
May with Judge Webb presiding.
There was an effort sometime
ago to get a special term of court
for Durham to clear up the docket
but owing the the difficulty in get
ting ajudge topreside the Cover
nor was unable to set the date.
It'll likely that solicitor Brooks
will look into this matter at the
coming term.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT,
Taft Once a Reporter.

CHICAGO, June 18.--Did you
know that William H. Taft was
once Bill Taft, reporter on Gin
c!nnati paper. and his brothers pa
per at that? Well, he was once q
sure-enough reporter. He Is not
like many great and near-great men
who claim a diploma from the news
paper fraternity just to be saying
something. He was real live re-
porter.
He worked first for $40 week.
He became good law reporter for
his brothers newspaper. but he did
not become good salary drawer.
Perhaps that might be explained In
this wise: He covered big decision
In the local courts at Cincinnati and
wrote a beautiful story teeming
with legal terms which no one else
could understand and handed It In.
It was printed. He bought the other
competing papers just to gloat over
their fiat accounts Of the decision
and found that they all agreed that
the decision was just opposite to
what he had written about 1t. Ha
had reversed the court. II wasn't
! long afterward that he wsnt to an
other newspaper His brother says
"A larger salary attracted him.

ries.
The first survey was made to B0~
will, and about two months ago tho
survey on the south fork routs
from st. Maries to Harvard WAS
started. The change back to the
Bovill route Is said to be due to the
fact that the company wishes to ex-
tend the road from the connections
with the Potlatch company's road

almost necessary to take the Bovill
route. An abundance of supplies
has been dalivered at Bovill Tor the
