The city of Geddes will be dry town
next year, not by the acts Of anti-saloon
men, but on account of the neglect of
the salepn men themselves to file petit
ton in time to have the question SUBJ
mitted to vote. Bot sides were getting
ready for hot campaign here next
month, and the anti-saloon advocates
were laying plans to put the licensed

their votes, little thinking the saloon
men themselves would be the cause of
their own undoing.

In accordance with this determination
the lesgne has offered a standing reward
of $50 for evidence which will lead to
the arrest and conviction of anyone

this right they will have to call the
election, which is to be prior to the LIST
of April.

thought he had marked the spot

the gold was located, and, unwilling to
allow others to know of the existence OF
the gold. lest he be robbed, he set about

DEFENSE OF PHILIPPINES.
Will Make Manila Principal Stronghold
and Move the Dry Dock.

After weeks of celebration the joint
army and navy board decided recently
to recommend to President Roosevelt
that the entire system Of defense Of the
Philippines Be changed that Manila be
made the stronghold Of the islands in
stead Of Subig bay, that strong naval
base be established in Manila harbor
and that the dry dock Dewey be moved
from 0iongago to carite. Special atten-
ton i urged for thorough completion
Of tie work, which involves many new
features
Army and navy experts alike agree
that unless something Is undertaken. the
Philippines would be ia no position to
withstand concentrated naval attack
which might be directed against them.

ing the entrance ii Manila harbor To
this end the islands OF C0rregidor. Cara

heavy guns and nIortars, medium sys-
TEN of communication is TO be establish

Altogether the greater part OF S6.4SS,-

Six ter-inch guns and two mortars are
to be erected at Corregidor, 500 feet
above sea level In addition, the plans
for defense include The erection Of q

As announced by The Herald last o.
