Yards to Be Abolished.

The results of Secretary Meyers per-
sonal inspection of many of the navy
yards and naval stations are apparent in
certain sweeping recommendations for
the abolition of some of these and the
development of others. The Secretary
recommends giving up and disposing of
the naval stations at New Orleans Pen
sacola. San Juan, Port Royal, New Lon
don, Sacketts Harbor, Culebra and Cavite.
He finds that the average yearly cost of
maintaining these stations for the past
five years has been $1.672, $40, while very
therein.
The Secretary thinks that the gulf and
south Atlantic coasts can best be defend
ed by an effective naval station at Guam
tanamo. Cuba, where the emergency
docking and repair facilities should be
/ provided at an expense Of about 100000
or 100000. Key West alone Of the gulf
naval stations. he thinks. should be main
tanned: not as frst-class station, but
for the supply and quick repair of small
the Caribbean sea. The Secretary pre-
diets that in time of war the cities of the
gulf coast will be from their natural Sc
curity. the chief source of supplies and
material and the probable points from
which our troops will embark either for
the Isthmus Of Panama for further
transit, or for service in the Caribbean,
as may be required.
Dry Docks Needed.
Because the Portsmouth, Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk yards
have accessible dry docks of which we
have too few, he says it is found impos-
sible to give UP any Of them.
On the Pacific coast Secretary Meyer
finds the Bremerton yard at q disad-
vantage through it's lack Of railroad COM
municatiOn and its distance from any
large supply of labor. But it's further
development is regarded as a necessity in
view Of the fact that the fleet at some
time after the opening Of the Panama
canal may be based in the Pacific ocean.
The Mare Island navy yard is very
both on account of it's great distance
from San Francisco and the shallowness
of the channel. But as $14,OOOOOO al
ready has been spent on this yard. the
Secretary thinks that in order to avoid
total loss it would be wise to utilize it
for such vessels as can reach It and also
for repair work. Looking to the future,
he says that it will be necessary to es-
tablish a docking and repair station for
battleships on San Francisco bay in
some locality yet to be selected, and
meanwhile the feet must depend upon
Puget sound, although there should be
more than one yard available If the bat
tleship feet is to be based in the Pacific
ocean.
Pearl harbor will be made the principal
insular defense base in the Pacific ocean
Olongapo. in the Philippines, is to be a
small repair station, and the station at
Cavtte is to be disposed of, it's tools being

Several years ago Judge Parker-not
connected with Alton B.-got into q
controversy with Representative Gill
bert of Indiana, now a judge in the
Philippines. The discussion waxed
warm, but was smothered in wild yell of
mirth from the whole House when
Gilbert, seeing Parker advancing to,
ward him down the aisle. arguing
fiercely, his face purple, his arms wav-
ing wildly, cried:

Enter Champ Clark.

Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, who, it Is generally conceded, will
be the next Speaker Of the House, waited
until the House had been called to order,
prayer offered and the members quieted
down. Then he STROBE in, clad In the
conventional black coat. and hurried to
his seat. He got splendid reception,
the applause being equal in volume and
duration to that which greeted Speaker
Cannon on his entrance.
The House adjourned almost immedi-
ately after roll call.

Life of a Battleship.

Twenty years is about the effective life
of a battleship, and even then the last
ten years of that period should be spent
in the second line of defense. This short
life is rather the result of evolution in
ship design and ordnance than Of actual
decrease in efficiency in the ship itself
To make up for the retirement OF these
obsolete vessels, the Secretary says. there
must be authorized after 1919. in addition
to the two ships per year provided in the
established program, sufficient number
Of vessels. to maintain the fleet at the
minimum Of twenty ships Of the frs
line.
AS it will be necessary. for at least five
or six nations to maintain navies to en-
force the decree of an international
court, the Secretary does not feel that We
are very near the diplomatic settlement
of all issues and the era of international
peace. He declares that the delusion that
a nation with a large population, great
wealth and resources Is immune from at
tack has been dispelled by the history OF
war. A formidable array of tables show
ing the enormous amount of naval con-
struction now under way or authorized
by foreign nations is presented to justify
the appeal for an adherence to the regu-
lar building program in this country.

PROGRESS IN AERONAU77CS

Consul Talbot J. Albert of Brunswick makes
the following report on the plans OF the new
company organized in Germany to operate
arships:
This age will soon see passenger ships nav
ieatipg the air. The projected German Air
ship Company. already mentioned In Daily
Consular and Trade Reports has become an
accomplished fact. The organization Of tho
Deutsche LuftschiTahrts Aktiengeseschaft
was effected In Frankfort on November 10.
1909. The 5000 600 marks ts714O00) neces-
sary was oversubscribed; one-sixth each Of
the stock was taken in Hamburg Frankfort
and Munich. while in Baden-Baden 100000
marks was subscribed privately and 10000
marks by the city. The company intends to
promote aerial navigation generally and the
operation OF airships vehicles for the con-
veyslce Of passengers. The president Is chief
mayor OF Frankfort. while there are &c other
directors from Dusseldorf Cologne. Stuttgart.
Essen. Elberfeld. Mannheim. Munich Leipsic
and Hamburg. II is proposed to establish air
ship stations In the cities mentioned. Frank
fort will be the seat OF the company and re-
ceive the two first airships. namely. Zeppelin
". in April. 1910. and Zeppelin v. In June.
1910. II the airship station there is finished.
II not. in order to make the enterprise lucra-
tive. passenger trips will start from Fried.
richshaven the original and present station of
the Zeppelin ships and the first halting place
and stations will be Baden Baden. Ample cap
ital has been supplied at that city to lay out
airship station and anchorage ground as
vast as that projected at Frankfort. The next
station will be on the coast of the North sea.

"CROPE THROUGH A CRACK"
Uncle Eph Had at Least One Idea Of
How His Hogs Might Have
Got Away.

Uncle Ephraim had two hogs, which
be kept in n pen at the rear end of his
little lot. They were OF the razor
back" variety, and although they were
fed bountifully with kitchen waste.
it seemed impossible to put any fat
on their attenuated frames. One morn
ing when he went out to feed them
they were not there. They had dis
appeared. leaving no clew to the man
ner in which they had made their es-
cape.
What's the matter. Uncle Eph?"
inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep
detection with which the old was was
looking down into the empty pen.
MY hawgs Is done gone. sah." he
answered.
'Stolen?"
mo. sab. don't see no signs dat
anybody tuck EN-"
Did they climb out over the top?"
NO, dey couldn't a done dat"
"How do you think they got away?"
We'll. sah." said Uncle Ephraim.

Jim's Cost a Dollar More.

Richard lie Gallienne. the noted

To n compliment upon his fame Mr..

But what is poetical fame in this
age of prose? Only yesterday

today at breakfast time. the boy
again presented himself.
"'will you give me your autograph.

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1910-02-04

have cut the clouds somewhere and then fed.
while the triumphant Kentuckian. with fire.
quent changes OF mounts. led and rode his
men back to Realejo.
After the fight near Realejo Walker and
his followers had two battles in close success
sion at Rivas and Virgin bay. The Americans
and their native allies were successful In both
fights and the city Of Granada soon fell into
Walkers hands. Mr.. Baker has said that
there was but little opposition made to the
entrance OF the troops at Granada and that
the command he was with lost but rs men.
He has told what took place after the nlibus-
tering leader had firm possession Of the town.
Corral was the leader opposing the American
adventurers and their native friends. He
made q treaty with Walker October Is. by
which Corral was to be made generalissimo
Of all the forces Walker said this would bo
a very nice plan and Corral donned his uni
form rs generalissimo Two weeks later Cor
raj was n prisoner before n drumhead court
martial. Of which Walker was president. The
Nicaraguan generalissmo shot at day
break the next morning.
You see. shortly after this" said the Chi
cago survivor of these troublous times. Costa
Rica took hand in the fight on account OF
its fear that Walkers example might be fol-
lowed and that all Central America might be
made the object Of attacks by foreign adven-
turers. The Costa Rican army came up and
there was a terrible fight near Granada. As
n matter of fact. both sides were licked and
licked hard. In a second battle at Rivas. how
ever. the Americans had the advantage and
hostilities ceased and then Walker went to
work to rule things"
It is curious at this day to read the COM
ments that were made by SpanishAmericans
at that time and to compare them with com
ments being made by the same people at the
present day. There was the same fear exist
ing then that AngloSaxon America was 60
ing to try to dominate Spanish America that
seems to have hold Of the Central and South
American peoples now. Public men of Latin
America said that all over the United States
prayers being offered for Walkers
and for the progress and domination Of
the Engllsh-speaking race One journal said
that the suiferings inflicted by Walker were
ten thousand times more dreadful than those
inflicted by Raveneau De Lussan. who de-
scended on Granada in 1855.
Now when one reads what Lussan did some
idea can be gained of how Walker. ten thou
sand times worse than Lussan. carried on. Ac-
cording to history, Lussan told the people
round about Granada that he came solely to
civilize them. He then ordered the chaplains
