last stopping place, to Magdalena
bay is 3,102 nautical miles and
forms the longest log of the ell
tire journey. The feet has reach
ed Magdalena bay just shade
under three months out from
Hampton Roads.
The fleet will put in about
three weeks in target practice,
a practice in which it is expected
there will be great rivalry be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets.
Plans for the run from Magda-
lena bay to San Francisco have
been worked out in connection
with arrangements to receive the
fleet at San Francisco, which ar
rangements have been prepared
tentatively by Secretary Metcalf
after several conferences with
Governor Gillette of California.
After the target practice is
completed at Magdalena bay the
combined fleets will head north

a division into two fleets each

FLEET NEARING END OF JOURNEY

San Diego, Calf, Mar. 12.-
The Atlantic fleet in command of
Rear Admiral Evans arrived off
Magdalena bay last evening. II
was great surprise to every
one as according to the itinerary
of the trip they were scheduled
to reach here next Sunday. Dur
ing the last part of the trip the
fleet gained four days on their
schedule. Admiral Evans at once
sent report to Washington in
which he stated that the fleet ar
rived in better condition than
when they left Hampton Roads.
Magdalena bay is located on
the Pacific coast of Lower Cali
fornia, towards the southern emo
of the peninsula, and about 100
miles north of the Tropic of Can
Ger. There are no towns Of any
consequence in the vicinity, bun.
the bay itself is one Of the finest
natural harbors on the Pacific
side of the American continent
and could easily provide safe
shelter for the largest of the
worlds fleets. The place has long
been coveted by this government
as a location for a coaling sta
tiOn for the Pacific feet of the
United States navy.
The arrival of Admiral Evans
feet at Magdalena bay means
that the long trip from Hampton
Roads is virtually ended. Of the
total of $4,000 miles only about
1000 miles remain to be travers-
ed between Magdalena bay and
San Francisco. the final objective

Base BALL AS A
way OF ADVERTISING

Trinidad stands committed to
baseball as the very largest
means of advertising that city to
be found.
Now, just get that statement
well settled in your minds. OF
course, we cannot anticipate that
any antediluvian or fossilized cit
izen of this metropolis will be
able to understand how baseball
could be regarded as great
means of Advertising; but we
want, for the space of several
paragraphs in this editorial, to
talk somewhat about Trinidad s
claim.
Some of the very best blood in
Trinidad has solemnly declared
that through the splendid base
ball organization maintained
there last year Trinidad obtained
the very largest amount of ad-
vertising it has ever had.
Let us see upon what grouni
it bases its claim. A baseball
club of more than ordinary
strength was organized in the
city, backed by an organization
that included in it's membership
almost every one of Trinidad s
business men. Games were played
with towns and cities elsewhere
in the state. The enthusiasm went
up to fever heat. Every town in
the Arkansas valley wanted to
beat Trinidad's crack team. Fl
nally, after defeating all other
amateur organizations. IL reached
out to take grabs at Denver's s
crack amateur organization.
At one game in Denver $4,000
people looked on and talked
about Trinidad's champions and
the city of Trinidad, surprised
that it had the assurance to 20 up
to Denver to try to show one of
their best ball orfianizations
where to head in.

DENIES STATEMENT
OF WAGE REDUCTION

Salt Lake, Utah, Mar. PA.
c. Ridgway, general manager of
the Denver g. Rio Grande, de,ffen
emphatically last night that sal
aries of telegraphers and other
employees Of the road would be
reduced. He said the hours Of
some of them would be reduced,
but the salaries Will remain as at
present.
Ridgway said that there would
be no reduction in wages or ma
terial changes in working condi-
tions of shop men. He added that
he expected no trouble from the
shopmen. lie said the agreement
which is to be abrogated by the
company Friday was with men as
employees, not as labor organi-
zatlon. lie expressed the belief
that the men would remain in the
company's employ, and insisted
that they would lose nothing by
the abrogation of the agreement.
AS to trainmen, he said the
company had not thought of alb
rogating the agreement under
which they are working. lie ad-
ded that rumors to this effect are
as groundless as those concerning
the telegraphers, concerning
whom he said:
A large number of our teieg-
raphers are working for $75
month. Some of these men viii
hereafter work nine hours day
instead of twelve. as formerly.
The monthly pay of these men,
however, will not be affected
They will continue to receive So
per month. The company, not
the men, will stand the loss by
the reduction of the working
hours. We have never announced
any reduction in the pay of tel
egraphers, and do not contem-
plate doing So
Rldgway insisted that 'he com
pany is not endeavoring to force
its shop employees to sign new
contracts. Only shop rules are
being submitted to them, he SAYS.
These are in line with the former
policy of the company. and d.
not imply an open shop any more
than in the past. He declined to
discuss the question of overtime.
adding that the company wouid
be always willing to meet its en-
ployes to discuss grievance.
Such conference. he made it
clear. would be with men as indi-
v1duals, not a sa committee repre-
senting union.

Pursuant to call given out 81

the citizens of the town gathered
in the court room at the court

TO RAISE FEES

Washington, Mar. 12.-If the
house and senate concur in the
action taken yesterday by the
house committee on immigration
and naturalization in reporting
the Burnett bill, it will cost $40
instead of SIS, after July, 1908,
for foreigner to become citi-
zen of the United States. So
great has become the bulk of the
naturalization business, especial
ly in centers such as New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
that the discovery has been made
that the lawful fees are INSULT
cient to cover the actual cost of
the clerical work, and as a result
some of the courts have practicai-
y refused to have anything to do

The proponents of baseball as
an advertising medium say that
at no time in all the years of its
existence has Trinidad been on
SO many tongues and in the
thoughts Of so many people as
upon that one day in Denver.
Nor did the advertising end
there. The club and the city
from which it came were talked
of in the adjoining states, and
altogether the business men fig
ure that their support of good
baseball team was the direct
means of changing the thought
of the people that Trinidad was
anything more than coal camp,
to the truth about Trinidad, that
it is one of the big towns in one
of thebest states in the union.
Trinidad is satisfied with its
experiment. 1t proposes to have
a ball club this year that will
make Rome howl. Nor will the
team be selected by kids or the
organization be supported on
wind. 1t will have the earnest
backing of every business house
in town; and when games are
played at Trinidad the city s
population will be on hand to
root and talk Trinidad.
Grand Junction has not been
any small persimmons" in the
advertising stunt. We worked
Peach day for all it was worth,
and it has been worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the
city and valley. But we need
something new to catch on with
the passing throng. Baseball
catches on with us nightly. 1t
is the national game; and if we
could send corking good team
over to Trinidad and beat their
team, they and the big outside
world would know that we are oa
earth.
At least, what has been said on
the baseball matter will give 4
little food for thought. - Grand

Has Poor Melon Cop.

Adverse weather conditions, cut
worms and other disagI eeable features
have conspiled to reduce the melon
crop OF The Dalles and vicinity to
probably not more than one-hslt that
of last year. Those which are being
marketed and those which will be
coming on soon are, however, excel
lent, aud the chief complaint Of the
growers is the fact that the quantity

community is widely noted, have al
ready been in the market TOR some
time, and it is learned that their quail
ity is equal if not superior to those of
former years. Replanting, occasioned
by the work of the cut worms, WAS in
some instances repeated several time',
with the result that the crop is back
ward, and much smaller than usual.
The watermelon crop will be from
two to tour weeks later this year than
