Ocean Steamer That Will Be Over 1000
Feet Long.

An ocean steamer that win rank
among the wonders of the world is I'M
der construction at the yards of Har-
land & Wolff, Belfast, Ireland. The
keel blocks of a sister ship win be laid
down in January. While nothing seems
to be impossible with shipbuilders, there
are many bold enough to prophesy that,
so far as size is concerned, these steam
ers are the last word in the building
of merchant ships.
They are being built for the White
Star line, which means that to large
extent they are product of American
enterprise. The line flies the British
flag and is managed by Englishnen, but
it is controlled by American capitalists.
Cunard line, which put out last year
the mammoth Lusitania and Maure-
tania to stand for British supremacy
on the seas.
Olympic is to be the name of the
record breaker under way, and her sis
ter ship will be called the Titanic. Each
will be 1000 feet long and 80 feet
broad That is, they will be as wild q
as city street and several blocks in
length. The tonnage of each viii be
10000, which would be about the ca
pacity of mile long train of so ton

Walls of Singing Children.

The wonderful inspiration of the
massed children g voices, representative
of New Japan, was evidently a part
of carefully thought-out plan. 1t is
the intention of the reception officials
to have 100000 school children this
week voice the sentiment of the ma
tion 8 coming generations.
On reaching Toxic the train was met
by committee composed of representa-
tives of every department of the gov
eminent. Secretary Jay of the American
embassy and the entire staff from the
legation were also on hand to greet the
visitors.
After the exchange of formal greet
ings on the station platform a process
sion was formed and then came a great
surprise when the band struck up the
national hymn and 10000 school chill
dren massed in a chorus which packed
the entire approach to the station, sang
the words of the hymn in English. The
entire effect of the American naval of
ficers walking through the narrow pass
age and the walls of the children OF
Japan singing the national air in Eng
lish was such as to stir the inspiration
and enthusiasm of even the weather
beaten commander of the American
feet, who, with his officers, bareheaded
passed along. (

ELECTION RESULTS
new YORK WORLD THINKS IT
POSSIBLE FOR EITHER.
Gives Several Good Reasons Why
Claims to Have a Poll Which Gives
Taft 205 and Bryan 17s, Sure-Who-
ever Carries New York Will Win
Ohio and Indiana Doubtful.

New York state democratic and
Bryan wins; republican and he loses.
This is the deduction the New York
World, which supports Bryan, made
Sunday morning, from a general poll
of the doubtful states taken by that
newspaper and about 20 others through
out the country. Largo gains for the
democratic nominee are claimed in all
the so-called doubtful states except
New York, a revised poll of which
shows slight republican losses above the
Bronx over last Sundays estimate.
Ohio, Indiana, -..ebraska, West vir-
ginia and Maryland are cassed as
doubtful and, together with New York,
bring the total of doubtful electoral
votes to 100. The poll gives Taft 2O5
and Bryan 17S sure votes.
Twenty-three states were chosen as
the battle ground for the campaign.
Newspapers of each of these state CO.
operated with the World in making the
canvass.
Causes for Doubt
The World gives five causes leading
to the belief that the contest for the
presidency is in doubt. They are
"The injection into the campaign in
some of the western states of an in
sidious and disturbing religious factor
which is working against the republic
an candidate.
1.-THE tendency of the labor vote to
break away from the control of all
parties, as illustrated in the surprising
spread of the socialist cause, both in
the east and the west.
"The inability of both the republican
and democratic parties to intelligently
approximate the distribution of the
vote to be cast by an army of unem-
ployed-estimated in round numbers AT
100000 voters.
1.-THE inability of both the republican
and democratic managers to anticipate
the distribution of the colored vote in
states where it has always been classi
fed as republican.
"The complete absence Of an issue OF
general value or vote-getting potency
to either side
The World goes on to show that Mr.
Taft must carry New York state, tn,
chiefest of the doubtful states, to viii
by margin of two votes. If he car
ries it, his election is assured. Bryan
to win must carry New York, Ohio and
MARYLAND or Nebraska or West Vir
ginia, which will give him 24s votes, o.
six more than is necessary to elect him
If he carries New York, Indiana, Yves
Virginia and Nebraska or Maryland
and yet loses Ohio, he may still b.
elected by six votes. Under any com
bination he must carry New York t.
win.

Plan of Higher Education.

Effort has been made during the last
year to discover whether it was not
possible to unite the three states of
the Pacific northwest in some educa-
tjonal plan whereby there could be
provided some one strong private in
stitution which would supply the de-
mand ond would fulfill the require
ments for the educational need in this
Pacific northwest. 1t is planned that
this institution, while not a substitute
for the work of the state institutions
should be made private institution
sufficiently strong to be an assistance
to the various state institutions in this
region.

FRUIT GROWERS ARE
PLANTING GARDENS

All over the county fruit growers
who suffered the loss Of their drops
are breaking ground and planting
garden. They are resorting to the
truck business to partially recoup
their Losses which was sustained by
the recent heavy freezes. They did
the same thing last year and most of
them did very we'll. considering the
fact that the market was glutted and
prices 80 low.
There will be plenty of vegetables
again this year and the prices will
not be very high. but what is grown
and sold will add SO many dollars to
the years income that they would
not otherwise receive. The growers
are meeting the conditions heroically
and are not sitting idly by bemoaning
their losses. They realize that there
is still plenty of time to raise good
quality Of vegetables, and in fact
they are as early as most of the
farmers who planted their garden a
month ahead, for what tender vege-
tation was up was nipped by the frost.
Cripple Greek and the district gen
orally has always been good market
for Fremont county vegetables and
there are some gardeners who shi p
their truck to the district In whole
