USELESS NAVY YARDS.

Waiting Money.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1.-THE
| investigation of the navy yards at
! Charleston, Port Royal. Mare Island.
| Portsmouth, n. H., New Orleans and
| Key West by a committee appointed by
| the President, with a view to their
abandonment. was urged by Represent
| tative Lilley, or Connecticut, before the
House to-day.
Mr.. Llley offered a Joint resolution
providing for the appointment of this
commission and for improvements in
other yards so as to eliminate the
waste of public moneys in The main
tenance of the same,
The navy yards mentioned in his
resolution We're taken UP separately
and discussed by Mr.. Lilley. The Mare
ilsland yard, he said, has cost the peo-
pie s170o0,0o0. 1t has magnificent
stone dry dock, which cost sl,l75.0O0.
but the Secretary of the Navy states
that this dry dock will not permit the
docking Of battlcshp. And not only
T is this true, but a battleship cannot
get to the yard.
Key West Is place" said Mr.. Lii
ley, THAT has cost us sl,238,03S. 1t is
si* miles from the straits and tho low
water depth in its channel is twenty
six feet. and 100000 has been spent
there for dredging. AT this yard, in
liz IiSNtti } tdt ciltlnS IN 1910, $1i,3lS
was expended for labor, and the value
of their total product was but $7,12G."
Portsmouth, n. H., or Kittery, Me-, Is
a plant that has cost us over 81 900, 900.
Not Safe for Small Craft.
Continuing, Mr.. Lilley said that last
summer, when he visited the Ports
mouth, N, H., navy yard with the other
members OF the House Committee on
Naval Affairs aboard the Dolphin, the
captain Of the vessel told him 1t was
not safe to take even so small a craft
as the Dolphin up to the yard, because
or tile dangers of the swift current and
marrow channel.
The expensive dock has never locked
first-claas battleship he added. and
yet S2ii,o00 more was appropriated for
this place the last session OF Congress-.
Concerning the navy yard at New
Orleans Mr.. Lilley said that in 1907
s7S,2l4 was spent by the government
for labor and the total product was
sl.oi6. But the point that a business
man would fail to comprehend" he
continued ''is that $4,000 was appro-

health-giving qualities of Duffy's

For fourteen wearisome win
tiers grip and the tired feeling

Thornburg Thoughts.

w. r. Graham made flying trip
to Meeker during the snow storm on
Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Earl Low received the sad
news of the death of her sister-in-law
who lives in Atlantic, Iowa.
Mrs. w. r. Graham and children
have gone to Marble, Colo, to visit
with her sister, Mrs. Edward Dem
nison.
o. j. Aldrich is visiting with Mr..
and Mrs. j. F. Wilson. He reports q
fine prospect for big fruit crop in
the Grand Junction country.
A big snow storm the first of the
week was just what everybody was
praying for. Weather cold. Most
everyone is through seeding. Grass
looking fine.
Thornburg is surely coming to the
front. The enterprising ranchmen
in this vicinity are putting up tele-
phone system-all their own. They
are tired Of waiting for an outside
company to come in, and have organi-
zed home company. Supplies are
bought and holes dug and the forestry
department has donated the poles.
