There are consumed II the United

not taking into account paper sacks for
nour, cement, charcoal and other arti-

United States Has Only Two Big
Drydocks ON the Pacific Coast.
II needs only glance at the govern
ment drydock facilities on the Pacific
coast to convince one of their utter
inadequacy 10 the demands which will
be made by our navy during the com
ing two or three years, says Casters
Magazine.
The United States government pos
sesses upon the entire Pacific coast only
two completed drydocks; one at the
Mare Island navy yard, in San Fran
cisco bay, and one at Bremerton, Wash.
on Puget Sound.
The dock at Mare Island Is 513 feet
long over all, so feet inches wide at
its entrance and 81 feet 6 inches deep
over the sill 1t Is available only for
the accommodation Of the smaller ships
The drydock at Bremerton Is more
commodious, being $50 feet long over
all, 90 feet inches wide at the en-.
trance and 80 feet deep over sill. This
will permit the entrance of the larger
battleships, but it is distant from the
main naval base.
At Mare Island the government has
under construction third Pacific coast
drydock, but 1t Is estimated that 1t viii
take three years Of hard work to finish
1t.
This dock was begun In 1900 and the
contract called for It's completion Nov
20, 1907; but Unforeseen emergencies
delayed matters and the dock will hard
ly be available for use during the pres
ent visit of the feet
Outside of the government docks on
the Pacific there Is Just one private
for handling the big battleship. This Is
situated at Hunters Point. on the west
side Of San Francisco bay, about five
miles south of the city, and Is owned
by the San Francisco Drydock Com.
pany. 1t has only one drydock capable
of admitting the large battleships, be-
ing 75o feet long. 122 feet wide and 30
feet inches deep.
There are thus only two docks on the
entire Pacific coast of the United States
capable of handling the larger Of the
navy's battleships. and one Of these is
a private one and will need to be leased
by the year by the government In order
that It may be Of the navy's disposal
at any and all times.
Some time before the announcement
Of the proposed mobilization Of the
feet on the Pacific was made the San
Francisco Drydock Company had per-
fected plans for the construction Of a
drydock which when completed will be
unique in this class OF marine engineer
ing In that 1t win be the largest dry
dock In the world.
At the present time the largest dry
dock In the world Is at Belfast, Ire
land: but the proposed San Francisco
drydock will materially exceed It In
dimensions In exact figures the new
dock viii be 1850 feet long, IA feet
wide and "a feet 9 inches deep.

LESS IDEAS AND MORE IDEALS.
BY Mayor Mcclellan.

The crying need Of the day is
fewer men with ideas and more men
with ideals. One of the most difficult
problems of the great trust which
occupy is to get the right men for
public office. In this country official
salaries are small, on the theory,
suppose, that the honor Of public
service is sufficient reward There
are, therefore, just three classes Of
men who accept public Office: Men
of independent means, men who have
not succeeded In private life and who
