WANTS SHIP BUILT
AT MARE ISLAND
Representative Kn0wIand Tries
to Prevent Loss of Building
Collier Here
Especial Diseateh to The CALI

lOF~NtHt 1torutCH 10 ne Adlll
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21-Representa-
tive Knowland was decidedly busy to-
day in an effort to prevent legislation
which would take away from Mare ISL
and the construction OF another collier
which was authorized last session at a
cost of $500, GOO An item in the navy
appropriation bill provides that this
collier should be built by contract. The
item is subject to a point of order on
the ground that it changes existing
law. but IL could be enacted under a
special rule.
Chairman Foss of the naval COM
mittee has been trying 10 get a
special rule reported. Knowland dis
covered this fact this morning and went
Immediately to see the speaker. He
called the speakers attention to the
vote in the house last session in favor
of building the collier in the navy yard.
this vote standing 156 to 43. He in
sisted that il would be most unjust to
California to change this law. Uncle
Joe admitted that Foss had interviewed
him and that he had committed himself
to special rule. The speaker said,
however, that Knowland's statement
put new Phase on the matter and ne
would not press the special rule.
Knowland then saw Dalzell. member of
the committee on rules, and induced
him 10 abandon the movement for spe-
cial rule. knowland obtained the as
sistance of New York members who
learned that 1t was the naval commit
tees intention TO take away from the
New York navy yard the construction
of new battleship. The friends of
navy yard construction seem to have
the whip hand of the naval committee.
The matter is in committee of the
whole, with Representative Mann of
Illinois in the chair. He is a stickler
for strict construction, and when
Knowland makes his point of order 1t
is practically certain that Mann will
sustain it and thereby throw out the
item which proposes to take away the
collier from Mare island.

WHAT WIFE SAYS "GoEs.r
But II Sometimes Is Bad for the
Painting.

When a property-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be SO If the property
owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER so
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some Of the most incompetent
competitors that ever yexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most i~gnorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house a month"; the
wife says, and what wife says GOES
at the cost Of a lot Of wasted painting
money.
II the painter stays away a few
days TO allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: That painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones' work. l won't
stand It,"
What chance does a painterhave to do
good work for a man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, OF
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result Of such interference.
Poor painting costs the h~ouseowner
money-don't forget that. It might
pay you to get the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in
strument for detecting paint adul.

the painter to do) but they make

you how to save money by securing
durable painting.

What FORMER OREeOA
FARMER THINKS OF west.
ERN CANADA.

Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Ore
gon, in Sept. 1904, for the great
Canadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: II was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch Of rich
virgin prairie still almost ~unoccupied
in the very heart of North America.
The splendid crops of oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay l beheld In the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece Of this rich soil, and ! soon 10.
Gated In the Goose Lake country. We
have here a great stretch of the rich.
deep clay loan of the Saskatchewan
a soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re.
tention Of moisture and production Of
great crops of oats, barley, fax and pc.
tatoes. l had 60 bushels Of oats.
weighing AL 10. to the bushel, per
acre. Some of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20
to 30 bushels per acre. We have all
done we'll here, and l could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already. For homesteads n has
to go further west, but the best prai-
RE can be bought here for from $1,000
to $1,000 per acre. The climate is
dry and healthy. This is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather - frosty
nights, and bright. sunny days-ideal
for %threshing and hauling out Of
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou.
sands of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
"The sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes off in March.
1t sometimes gets very cold, but the
Saskatchewan farmer does not fear
the cold. Winter is his season of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds a comfortable house for him
self, and warm stables for his horses.
He need not, like some, be poking
about in the mud all winter attending
q few beasts for a livelihood"

Explosion Tears Away Front of Chop

Minneapolis, March 16.-Cries, pis-
tol shots. the shrill sound of a police
mans whistle, followed by a deafen-

ly wrecked, which seemed to indicate
a premature explosion.
