mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, November 1S.-The
general board of the navy has been
occupied much of late in working out
larger project for the Improvement
of Pearl Harbor. This is in further
ance Of the recent decision of the joint
army and navy board to make Pearl
Harbor the chief naval base in the Pa
scifc, which decision the secretary of
the navy and President Taft approved.
1t is Secretary Meyers purpose to put
in additional estimates for Pearl Har-
Dor work so that greater progress than
was at first planned can be made with
the construction projects there the
coming year.
Rear-Admiral William Swift, now
commandment of the Boston yard, has
been here this week to make a state
ment before the general board. Be
fore he was made eommandant at Bos-
ton, Admiral Swift took journey TO
the Philippines and rounded out a
project for the improvement of the
naval station in the Philippines, at
Olongapo. to cost $l5,000,000. With
she Uirt31al abandonment of Olcngapo
as a naval base-which is what the de-
cisiOn to make it repair station
means = Admiral Swift s plans. of
course, fall, but the general board
wished to have his views as to what
should be done at Pearl Harbor. The
testimony of other experts will be
heard before the new plans for Pearl
Harbor are made up.
Ashford's Pilikia.
Naval Cadet S. H. Ashford of Ha-
wall having been dropped from the
academy at Annapolis, Delegate Kala-
nianaole will soon have another APP
pointment to bestow. Ashford was
dropped for inaptitude, but the chief
cause was his persistence in smoking,
which is against the regulations for
cadets in the academy. He repeated
the offense several times, and these
repetitions piled up dement's against
him so that his dismissal became in
evitable.
Admitted to Supreme Court.
w. H. Smith of Hilo and j. Castle
Ridgway of this city, but formerly of
Hilo. were admitted to practise before
the Supreme Court of the United
States this week. Mr.. Ridgway prac-
tised law in Hilo for number of
years and also did some work on the
Hilo Tribune, of which Mr.. Smith was
formerly the editor. The motion for
aheir admission to practise before the
court was made by Solicitor General
Bowers of the department of justice.
Mr.. Rdgwav is now cashier of the
District National Bank in this city.
1t was stated at the White House
today that the President had not yet
taken up the matter of reappointing
Federal Judge Dole. That matter rests
with the department of justice, and
Acknowledgement Wickersham has gone
to Kansas City to be absent for sew
eral days. 1t is taken for granted that
the reappointment will be made in due
season. Since his return from the
long SWING around the circle, the Pres
ldent has been exceedingly busy and
has had no time to give to matters of
patronage.

1t is believed in navy circles here
that this message win be found to be

Valuable Mud.

America leads the world in the
production of mud-not cheap,
low grade mud, but mud of a very
expensive quality. Our mud is not
packed in neat boxes, labeled,
"Made in America" and protected
by tariff from the pauper mud of
Europe. 1t is spread out thickly
over millions of miles of our coun.
try roads.
Only one mile in fourteen CT
Americas roads can be said to be
really improved. The rest are
mud - deep narrow streaks of
sticky, oozy mud. The farmer
fights with mud when he takes
his load to mark ct. It is said to
cost him twenty-five cents ton
per mile to haul his produce,
while the. thrifty Frenchman on
mudless roads does it for half as
much. The American farmer pays
for his mud in- decreased profits,
in harder labor, i'll poorer schools !;
his wife in isolation ard loneli-
ness.
Nor is the farmer the only one
who pays the mud tax. The city
man who thinks he is | uying eggs
is bnying also mud. Mud puts
it's price upon our bread, our
meat and our fuel. Three hun
dred million dollars year is the
estimated cost of muddy roads.

our people could get less fun for
