Last evening's Portland Telegram

Last evenings Portland Telegram
says;
Captain Charles F. Pond. light
house Inspector OF this district, will
have command Of an armored cruiser
in the Pacific squadron within the
next 90 days. She will be of the type
of the Washington or Tennessee,
larger than many of the battleshipsr
and he will have under him from 80
to 40 officers. 1t is an important
promotion which has fallen to the lot
of but few Of the lighthouse inspec-
tors in recent years.
"In this district Captain Pond will
be succeeded by Commander J. M.
Ellicott, who is in charge Of the sup
ply ship Solace, which is now at
Charleston, S. c. being converted in
to a hospital ship. Commander Eli
colt is expected to arrive in Portland
from Charleston in about a week
For a couple Of months he will act
in the capacity OF assistant to Captain
Pond until he becomes thoroughly
familiar with the district. Then he
will assume full charge, and Captain
Pond will take the new position
awaiting him on one Of the armored
cruisers, the name Of which has not
yet been made known.
Commander Ellicott is 46 years of
age, and entered the service in 1879,
after having graduated at the naval
academy at Annapolis. He has been
awarded a, number of medals for
bravery displayed in the face Of great
danger during the Spansh-American
war. His predecessor gives him
high recommendation and says he is
deservedly popular. Baltimore is his
native city
On the arrival Of Captain Pond at
Portland July i, 1908, to assume
charge Of the lighthouse district en-
bracing the coasts Of Oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska, he ranked as
commander. In less than three
months later the title of Captain was
conferred upon him by the depart
ment. Since then it has only been
regarded as matter of time until he
would be ordered to report for sea
duty, and consequently the news did
not come as surprise. But it is not
often that a promotion to the COM
mand of one of the best ships in the
navy comes so quickly.

Officers and Seamen Are Neces-
sary for U. S. Vessels

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-To man
the entire American fleet in time of

These figures do not include officers
and men at shore stations
Four new battleships are to be com .
missioned as we'll as fifteen new

seven submarines. It is anticipated
the Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri will
go temporarily out Of commission, and
that the Denver and three others of
her class will be replaced by the New
Orleans, Cincinnati and Raleigh,
which are practically Of the same
class.
Replying to a suggestion that the
navy will put into commission vessels
which will require 5000 bluejackets
and do away with those which viii
require only $500 men, Captain Usher
says:
"The number required is to keep the

Nick with wonder as his Jaws opened

Finally Emmett turned to Harry White
and said.
Say, Doc, what makes that fellow
go after that gum in that hurried
fashion,"
Wait until l ask him." replied
Harry, and then raising his voice the
clever pitcher cried out: Nick, how
did you come to develop that swift
jaw manipulation"
