ADMINISTRATION
NAVY BUREAU HELD FOR The
CRITICISM OF BOATS.
If Ships Are Being Constructed on
Wrong Lines, President Roosevelt
Will Call Halt-commander Keys
Report on the North Dakota Calls
Forth Prompt Action by President.

Prospects are that a row in the navy
department is due that will make the
Reuterdahl-C Caps Converse upheaval
of this spring appear tame. The dis
turbance is expected this week when
the president and a distinguished
gathering of naval officers will meet at
the navy war college at Newport. Crit
cism of the new battleship North Da-
kota will be the subject and the presi-
dent is determined to get to the bot
tom of the facts.
If the ships are being constructed
on wrong lines he intends to call a
halt on further plans along these
lines, and the clash of bureaus that
will ensue in that event will be aug
mented by the crashing of the big
stick on ancient custom. Great pre-
cautions are being taken to keep the
public in ignorance of the discussion
The first topic to be taken up, and
| the real cause for the calling of the
conference, is the report of Com
mander Key to the president, in which
| hO lhbdS ONCSplh6 CI1IlClSIu VI IU6
North Dakota, sister ship of the Della
ware. These criticisms have been kept
a profound secret, even from nava
officers. 1t is accepted that one of tbs
chief criticisms made relates to arma
ments. The manner in which the II
12-inch guns were mounted was a mat
ter of discussion at the time the plan!
were drawn The bureau of ordnance
at the time declined to permit an!
interference with its plans.
i, 1t would surprise few if the presi
dent, in view of all the circumstances
abolished the present naval board OF
construction and substituted for it
board of design with wholly differen
membership.
In the opinion of naval officers sta
toned here there is every prospec
for the greatest row in years in tn
department 1t may mean the deposi
ton of several of the older officer
; who have run affairs at their owl
sweet will for many years. AS thes
officers have friends in high places tn
swing of the presidential big sticl
will probably be followed by a storm
of protest.

NOTED POULTRY
MAN BUYS LAND
4. R. WALTON INVESTS AT
BEAUMONT
old Edgar Homestead to Be Head
quarters for One of the Best Es-
Establishments of Its Kind
in the State

Through the sale Monday of nearly
fourteen acres of land in the Edgar
Vineyard tract to L. r. Walton, presl-
dent of the Poultry Breeders assocla-
ton of Southern California, one of the
finest poultry ranches and stock breed
ing kennels in the state is insured Tor

the Edgar Vineyard tract, consisting
of the old Edgar homestead, which in
cludes about two and half acres OF
the old vineyard planted by the mis-
sion fathers over sixty years ago. The
property has a frontage of 701 feet on
Beaumont avenue by depth of 500
feet, and occupies a slightly and beau
tiful location at an elevation of about
1850 feet above the sea level 1t is
directly to the east of the Powers place
and right across the street from the
Cherry Valley West addition, where
sales have been made in the past four
months aggregating nearly 100000.
1t is the intention of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walton to sell out their holdings in
Tropico and Hollywood, with a view OF
becoming permanent residents OF Beau
mont, Both are charmed with the eli
mate and resources of the valley, AND
as poultry experts proclaim this the
best poultry raising country they have
found in the state, a conclusion they
arrived at after visiting San Luis Obs
DO, San Joaquin valley and other parts
of the state; so Beaumont can consider
herself honored.
To Build Wall
Walton proposes to build along Beau
mont avenue a cement block wall,
topping off with coping and with a
cobblestone gutter on the outside, Civ
1ng. a pretentious and beautiful appear
ance to the grounds The old trees
will all be trimmed and additional
shade and fruit trees set out. The old
Edgar house will be used as a barn
and a pretentious house will be erected
The grounds will be brought up to q
high state of cultivation and Mrs. Wal
ton, who is quite a horticulturalist, will
plant many rare and beautiful varieties
of roses, vines. and shrubs.
Extensive buildings for the propaga
tion of fine poultry viii be erected and
some of the best stock in the state
will be found in the breeding pens.
Rare strains of White Plymouth Rocks
will be the predominating feature.
Walton has already named his new
purchase "Gads HILL" which is the
copyright name of his present poultry
ranch at Tropico, and the name under
which pedigrees for his birds are OBJ
tanned. In addition to poultry raising
a kennel will be established for the
breeding of fine strains of dogs, partic-
ularly Boston terriers and Cocker
spaniels Walton now possesses some
of the finest CANNES on the coast, and
proposes to help spread the fame Of
Beaumont by his Gads Hill entries at
the bench shows in Los Angeles.
