LIEUT.. COMMANDERS
TO BE RETIRED FROM NAVY
TO GIVE YOUNGER MEN
CHANCE

Washington, March 3o.-President
Roosevelt has recommended to Sec
rotary OF tlrs Navy Metcalfe that all
officers of the grade OF lieutenant
commanders be allowed to- retire from
the navy This is believed to mean
that the president will insist upon
younger men taking more respon-
sibilities upon themselves. Many OF
the officers in this grade have quit
the service to accept lucratice posi-
tons with industrial and manufac-
turing concerns where their SPECIAL
knowledge was valuabfs. Roosevelt
is said to be very partial TO the
Younger men in the service.

ARE TO Be INVESTIGATED
The Missouri At Magdalena Bay Has
Muzzle of. Six Inch Gun Blown
Of-Oakley at Pensacola Hit By
Torpedo and Put Hole in Bulkhead

Washington, March 3o.-Two ac-
cidents occurred in the navy today,
both of which will be thoroughly in
vestigated. While at target practice
in Magdalena Bay the battieship Mis-
souri, had the muzzle of six inch
gun blown off. II is said that the
gun is of the type that wall not stand
smokeless powder, which was being
used at the practice. No one was
hurt by the accident.
The boat Oakley, practicing in
Pensacola Bay. at Pensacola, Fla
was hit by torpedo and hole shot
throngqn her bulkhead She has gone
into dry dock for repairs. This acct
dent has more mystery surrounding
it than the accident at Magdalena
Bay. and whil@ there is no fear OF
treachery, there is going to be
something done to somebody for
negligence or carelessness.

had reached close TO the limit of growth.
In the space of nine inches there were
nine monster apricots the largest of
which weighed one fourth of pound
and measured seven inches around one
way and eight and quarter the other.
This was very little larger than the re-
mainder of the bunch and it was hard
to tell any difference in them. R. w.
Curtis of Paonia, who is an experienced
fruit man and knows fine frnit when he
sees it, says they are the finest he ever
saw. Some of these will probably be
sent to Pueblo for cold storage until
the fair. They were grown at the
Hooker place in Cedaredge.
The directors of the Cedaredge COM
mercial association met at the bank
last Tuesday evening and decided to
take steps toward holding the annual
Surface Creek Fair at Cedaredge again
this fall. The exact dates have not
been definitely decided upon but will
probably be October I'd and Sd. but if
this is not the exact date it will not be
iatCi liiaii ehC lOlloWHlS week. AS
start toward this move a committee
has been appointed to look after ex-
hibits and some of the preliminary ar
rangements, this committee is also to
look after the gathering and sending of
exhibits to the state Fair at Pueblo. j.
c. Rowbotham. w. D. Nelson and G.
H. Webb were the appointees. Now
that it has been definitely decided to
hold the fair as usual the growers of
all kinds of produce are requested to
keep an eye on their best samples of
fruits, vegetables, grains and all other
produce. 1t is the intention to make
this the greatest fair ever had in the
valley.

The storm Saturday played havoc
with the new syphon which was just
about completed on Fruitland mesa,
lifting it clear out of the ground and
filling up the trench. 1t is estimated
that it will take 81, 900 to put it back in
shape. All the old settlers claim that
this was one of the worst storms they
have ever witnessed here. A large
quantity of hay was down, some in the
shock and lot which had just been
cut, which was damaged to some
extent. On the other hand this storm
was the making of grain and second
cutting of alfalfa. Quite number of
bridges were washed out which were
soon replaced.
