FLEET ENGINEER
RIVALRY Is KEEN

WASHINGTON, October 9.-Since
the system of competition in the engi
neering department of the Navy was
established rivalry as keen as that
in the department of craftsmanship and
gunnery has been started, the results
of which are most gratifying to the
officers of the bureau of steam engineer
ing. Prizes are offered for the ship
making the best showing on examina-
ton by the feet engineer.
According to report by Commander
Ernest L. Bennett, feet engineer, the
machinery of the Atlantic feet is in
surprisingly good condition. Such re
pairs as are necessary viii not be made
until the ships have gone to the vari-
Gus navy yards, following their partiei-
patton in the HudsOn-F Fulton celebra-
ton.
Engineer officers are displaying en-
thusiasm over the coming engineering
competitions between the vessels of the
fleet, which will afford opportunity to
determine speed capacity, economy in
the use of coal, and in the consumption
of mechanical supplies generally.

WASHINGTON LIKES THE
HEAD OF FORESTY SERVICE
Clifford Pinchot Welcomed Back Expected
That Little More Will Be Heard of
Conservation Row.
BY Ernest G.. Walker.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, October 4 The
most notable political arrival of the
week in Washington is sure to be Chief
Forester Pinchot, now on the train
from Salt Lake City, where he CON
ferred with the President and re-
ceived assurances that he was to be
retained in his present position. 1t has
long been expected that Mr.. Pinehot
would stay. The President s friends
had no idea that he would dismiss an
official who has become so thoroughly
identified with the conservation poll
cies of the government. The reports
are that the West is nightly pleased
that the President put his o. K. so en-
phatically upon Mr.. Pinchot, even
though his plans to bring Mr.. Pinchot
and Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
together failed and the two would not
even speak as they encountered one
another
Washington likes Mr.. Pinchot quite
as well as the West likes him. He is
an unpretentious man, but thorough
and industrious. The forest service,
administering the millions of acres of
national forests, is a model organiza-
ton which he has built up. He spends
most of the time every summer visiting
these national forests, gathering ideas
for improved administration the while
he ascertains how the big force of
men under his official charge are at
tending to their duties. He gets day
off now and then for fishing, of which
he is very fond, and also for hunting,
although that form of sport does not
appeal to him so strongly.
His visits to the national forests
take him to some of the finest fishing
and hunting in all the United States.
He knows, as well as the best sports
men, where fish can be caught on the
route of his summer travels. He likes
deepsea fishing, and every season
spends a few days on the Pacific. His
recent trip to the Farallones, some dis
tance out from San Francisco, was to
try his hand at hooking Pacific speci-
mems. He has fshed on the Pacific
Ocean all the way from Washington
State to Los Angeles, and can tell
many a good story of his experiences.
In all probability the public will
hear very little more from Mr.. Pin
chot appertaining to the famous Bal
finger controversy. He is not the kind
of man who feeds that character of
official contention, however determined
he may be in his own views. Both he
and Secretary Ballinger have now
been assured in the strongest terms of
the President s confidence. The Pres
ident has promised publicly to ask
congress to legalize the methods of
withdrawing public lands from entry,
which Mr.. Pinchot has been following.

NEWSPAPER ROW

Another newspaper will shortly be
launched in Honolulu. this time to sup
ply the Chinese portion of the popula-
ton with accounts of the events of

of the company which will control it

Articles of incorporation for the

No large questions are being handled

is noteworthy that in daily doings of
general interest there is less to make
the Washington date line conspicuous
than has been the case of late Sep
TENDER for many years. Everything
seems to be waiting on the return of
the President, now almost six weeks
away. There is some discussion about
the central bank, proposed in the talk
of monetary and currency reform and
officialdom, like the rest of the coun-
try, is watching the polar controversy.
The photographic office of the navy de-
partment is planning a new map, on
which the North Pole~will be depicted
as United States territory but that is
being done without taking sides either
with Cook or Peary.

YOU WILL NOT

be deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never VIII be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief, as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neyerthe-
less, afraid to buy certain adver-

are they slow to place confidence

is as safe and genuine an article
to purchase as flour, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills OK
manufacturers with a worldwide
reputation. We could not afford
to exaggerate its qualities or mis-
represent it in the least; and it
is not necessary. 1t is palatable
as honey and contains all the
curative properties of pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by US from
fresh cod liyers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hy-
pophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry; and
how valuable such a blending
of these important medicinal

nothing so good. DIR. ". II.

Dover. Del, Oct. 19.-One OF the
most horrible accidents in this section
for many years occurred on the road
from Frederica to Milford, in the lower
part OF Kent county. Purnell Ham

light his pipe. and in doing so a spark
from the match fell on his clothing
which ignited, and before he could get
out Of the carriage he was all ablaze.
He finally fell from his carriage. a
mass OF flames. his horse leaving him.
Mrs. Benjamin Hudson, the wife OF
a farmer living nearby, saw something
burning. and supposing it to be the
hedge in front OF the yard, ran with a
bucket Of water. when she came across
the charred body OF Hammond.
All OF his clothing was burned from
his body and he was almost beyond
recognition. Hammond leaves widow

NO HOPE OF
CHEAPER MEAT
Packers Say High Price Of
Live Stock Is Cause.
THE SAME OLD EXCUSE
President Of Combine Says There Are
Not Enough Cattle, and Possibly
Temporary Relief 10 the sest the
Trust Can Give.


Trust Can Give.
Chicago. oct. ls.-To the nation s
anxious housewives who are hoping
for a reduction in the price OF meats
the American Packers association,
which opened It's fourth annual meet
ing here. gave no encouragement.
Through Michael Ryan, president OF
the association, II is announced that
II there is any reduction In price II
will be only temporary, and that meat
will probably be even more expensive
than IL is now.
The packers usual excuse, that the
demand Is greater than the supply is
offered as an explanation.
Conditions now are the natural
outcome of the failure OF production to
keep abreast of the progress OF DO
mand." said Ryan. "ang unless many
many more cattle are raised. there can
be no hope for lower prices. More are
being raised just now, but when the
price goes down in accordance they
will stop the extra raising. and high
prices will be with us again.
In early times the wild game and
native animals made the raising OF
stock for the market almost unproht'
able. The growth OF civilization has
increased this demand for stock to
supplant the wild meats formerly con-
sumed. The stockmen have, through
desire to keep prices good, perhaps,
and TO make sure OF sale OF all the
stock they raised. failed to keep
! abreast OF the heavy demand. The re
suit is natural. America will probably
soon be forced TO import meats.
There has been only enough raised
to supply the market. and at times II
has looked as though there would moi
be sufficient and such periods OF un
certainty. which will always accom-
pany a condition such as I have just
described. are likely to keep the prices
high. as packers will pay what they
must to insure their patrons their sup
ply OF meat.
"The American people must look tC
the ranges OF the west for the solution
of the high price condition. and ] ma,
say see no general reduction in the
future until the herds OF the west are
made sufficiently numerous to relieve
the packers anxiety that the marke
will fail 10 supply the demand"

ing in the evening or along about
dusk. when the creatures venture from

are all trained for wildcats, and local
hunters stand ready to assure the
