ticians to reviewing the wrecks that
have been suffered by Uncle Sans navy. These have
been serious than most people suppose.
Few persons know that between 1867 and 1908
fifteen vessels of lost and upward of four
hundred American officers and sailors drowned.
In four of these casualties there no attendant
death list, while in five others the list small.

wrecks of this generation the cruiser Charleston

the most famous disaster in the history of navy.
Next in Importance the wrecking of the Tren-
ton the Vandaa, and the Nipsic in the hurricane at
Apa, Samoa, on March 16, 1889. These vessels be-
longed to the type of the of war in during
the Civil War The mortality list comprised four
officers and forty-seven men; but the catastrophe
acquired international aspect in the wrecking
the day of three German warships with the loss
of nearly one hundred lives.
Hurricanes, tidal waves and earthquakes have
done more to injure Uncle Sam navy than shot and
shell. On November Is, 1867, the sailing ship

The Doc smiles and shakes his head. You are an

That was sensible enough. but when he goes to

one that we can boss more or less, and another
that don't have much rein over; how the first
one is useful in givn ideas about outside things
whether the weather is cold warm that the sky
is blue and in drectin such things when to shoot
swift jab, or when to give the peace sign-
and how the other mind is kind of silent partner

ton, whether we're awake or asleep and can GO

it; and how it sometimes gets off the hooks, and
makes us do things that our everyday mind knows

up like was sausage.
ONE mind is all I've ever claimed says 1; but
if you've got any evidence that mine is a twin,
why"
sCertainly," says he "At what time do you
usually rise in the mornng?"
About seven o'clock" says l.
g But occasionally for some particular purpose, you
need get up at earlier hour don't your? says he
Sure" says l. when I'm going to start on
little trip, or something like that
And did you ever try the experiment of setting
yourself for some definite hour" he goes on
Plenty of times says Il can leave the feat thers
to the minute too, providin I've primed myself for
it the night before "
There you are!' says he 1T is mind No 2 that

The conscious mind gives orders the subconscious,
Wake me at five thirty! and the order is carried

be depended upon to do many other and much more
useful things In fact it is great storehouse of
power which has always been there just electricity

Southern Pacific.
LAND GRANT MAY BE VOID.
Company Refuses to Accept Price for
Lands stipulated by Gov
ernmcnt.

Portland, Or. Dec 16.-Eighty-one
residents OF Michigan and other east
orn states, have been given permls-
sion by Judge Charles l.. Wolverton
to intervene in the suit instituted by
the United States government to have
declared void the patent now held by
the Southern Pacific company to the
lands contained in "the old Oregon and
California land grant" in southern Ore
con. The original grant was TO the
Oregon & California railroad company,
now a Southern Pacific subsidiary and
consists OF a million acres of fine tim
ber and agricultural land.
The intervenoTs base their complaint
on the ground that they have offered
the Southern Pacific company the $2.6O
per acre for certain of the lands; the
consideration rendered being that des-
ignated by the grant as the sum for
which the railroad company should sell
thc land to bonaede settlers The inter
yenors also allege that each is qualihed
to enter upon the land in accordance
with the terms of the grant.
