there was no room in Captain Fitz-
herbert,s cabin were entertained In the
outer cabin by Captains Crawford and
Edwards and che overflow was taken
care of in the wardroom. Acting Con
sui General Wellesley Moore was on
board and helped the three captains
play host.
The Chinese mess attendant provided
each guest with a wide mouthed glass
and hosts and guests went into action,
when Captain Edwards of the Algerine
remarked:
Hadn't we better do something
with thisrwhile the bubbles are rising"
Mayor Taylor proposed the health of
King Edward and Captain Fitzherbert
came right back at him with toast
to the health of the president of the
United States. 1t has been the custom
for the reception committee to include
in it's toast the ship that was being
welcomed and its commanders. No ex-
ception was made to this rule, and as
a member of the committee remarked,
the fact that they were welcoming
three ships and three captains at one
and each ship was not entitled to
separate toast. BY unanimous vote it
was decided that the point was well
taken. and when hosts and guests ad
journed to the forecastle and submitted
themselves to the press photographers
1t was with the satisfaction of know
ing that the British fleet had been well
coined "shipshape and Bristol fashion"
First Class Cruiser
The Bedford is first class armored
cruiser of $500 tons and carries crew
of 675 officers and men. The war
ship was built at Fairfield. The keel
was laid in February. 1900. the vessel
was launched in August of the follow
ing year and went into commission in
1903. The Bedford is AS feet long, Sc
feet in beam with a draft of 241a
feet. The best speed ever made by the
Bedford was 24.3 knots an hour, but %
knots an hour is her official full speed.
The Bedford carries IA inch guns.

merged torpedo tubes.
One of the most wonderful things
about the cruiser is its wireless ap
paratus. The antennae are strung in
two lines from bow to stern, leading
over two specially constructed masts
that tower nearly 200 feet above the
water line. There are wires enough in
the antennae to catch a whole flock
of birds, and it all forms part of a sys-
tenn with which the Bedford was able
to exchange remarks with this coast
while still three days on the other side
of Honolulu. or more than 1000 miles
away. The officers admit that they
broke all records for wireless work on
this cruiser, but can not give details
without violating a regulation of the
British navy.
The Bedford is the fourth ship of
it's name in the British navy. The first
Bedford won some fame early in the
eighteenth century and they have all
given good accounts of themselves
when called upon.

Spelling Contest.
s3ssss So sssssssss

On Friday evening of last week. the
final spelling contest between Iron
River and Crytsal Falls high schools
took place in the high school assembly
room in this city.
Before the contest began short pro-
gram was given. Two mixed choruses,
by the high school, we're we'll rendered,
as was the girls choruses. Miss Edna
Raymer sang very sweetly the solo.
20, Happy Day. Girls. piano solo
by Miss Flanagan, WAS encored show
ing the high appreciation of the
pianists' skill The male quartette
consisting OF Messrs. Aldrich, Beach,
Larson and Ball delighted the audience
with. their quartette. and were.obliged
to respond twice. Six high school girls
and Misses Fish and Donohoe gave an
indian club drill which was enthusiasts
tically received. The encore was res
ponded to by Miss Fish.
After the program was completed
the spoilers took their places, fifteen
on each side. There was no change in
the Crystal Falls spoilers from the pre-
vious contest. the lineup being as fol.
lows: Rachel Clarion. Emil Hurja,
Charlotte Carlson, Pearl Kluttig.
Esther Carlson. Bertha Erickson, Edith
Nyquist, Geraldine Hill. Fred Cayia.
Myrtle Erikson, Rose Bjork, Edna
Wehse Jennie Kullar, Vina Russell
and Ella Corbett. with Fannie Dawson
and Hilja Ronquist as substitutes
Superintendent Darling Of Florence
again pronounced the words.
The spelling was rapid and nearly
four hundred words had been spelled
before a mistake was made, which
was by one of the Iron River spoilers
a pure slip, but not noticed soon
enough for him TO rectify the error
The remainder Of the nearly 500 words
were spelled without an error The
one word gave the victory TO Crystal
Falls hut IL was so small that we all
feel that the two tcams were evenly
matched, and that both sides know the
list Of words thoroughly.
After the contest. the Iron River
people were invited TO a reception in
the gymnasium. Refreshments were
served by the senior class.
The gymnasium was artistically dec
Grated with canopy of red and white,

Of which was suspended a bow of red
and black for Crystal Falls The only
decorations in the Assembly Hall were
immense bows OF red and white and OF
red and black. fastened TO the pillars
on the side reserved for either school
An interesting feature OF the contest
WAS the songs and yells from both
schools. Clarence BueDger acted as
yell master for the red and black, and
the enthusiasm exhibited by him and
his chorus extended even TO the au
dience.
