PATRIOTISM PAYS THIS
MAN IN MONETARY WAY

DAYTON, Wash, March IL
Especial )-"Uncle Levi" Watrous
served as a private in a company of
Iowa infantry less than year during
the close of the Civil war, but he
has received for his patriotism over
$4,000 from Uncle Sam in salary and
pensions. Mr.. Watrous, who recently
celebrated his S5th birthday, made APP
plication yesterday for a pension I'M
der the age limit act by which, if
he is successful, he will receive 500
a month since 1897.
Uncle Levi likes to tell his grand
children that it pays to be a soldier,
for during the time he served he re-
ceived over $500 a month, the highest
salary he ever commanded, although
he was just "a plain fighting man."
He was never wounded or in prison
and took part in few engagements.
There's often a lot of gold under the
surface of a desert" is a motto the old
man has followed through life. He is
the oldest veteran of the Civil war
living at Dayton.

Difficulties
To Be Settled

CHICAGO, Mar. 21.--All questions in
dispute between the $1,000 firemen OH
western railroads and the railroad
managers viii be amicably settled, ac-
cording to an arrangement reached to-
day through the aid of United States
Commissioner of Labor Neiil.
1t was agreed by w. S. Garter,
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, and
his committee, representing the men,
and the general mananegrs' commit
tee, representing the AZ railroads in
volVed, to settle the controversy in the
fol owing manner:
The question of seniority or the pro-
motion of old-time firemen over new
men, and the question of representa-
ton by the union when tiremen have
been promoted to be enginemen, are
are to be compromised before any ar
bitration is attempted.
The demand of the men for an in
crease in wages of II IL per cent is
then to be submitted to arbitration I'M
der the Erdman act.
In previous negotiations the rail-
roads had agreed to arbitrate the wage
question, but had declined to arbf-
trate the other two points on the
ground that they were points of dis
cipline and authority.
1t was agreed that both sides agreed
to compromise through the insistence
of Commissioner Neill that something
had to be done quickly.
Mr.. Neill informed each side that
mediation had been in progress since
last Thursday and that apparently no
progress had been made. He declared

BUILD BATTLESHIPS ON LAKES
Navy Department Believes All Types
Can Be Built if Desired.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 21.-The navy
department reported to the house to-
day it knew of no reason why all
types of vessels could not be built on
the great lakes. This replied to re-
solution asking for the navy view on
that point, and Secretary Meyers
opinion is based on the assumption the
only obstacles" term used in the
resolution, are physical ones and a
sufficiently deep waterway from the
sea board could eventually be con-
Structed
Secretary Meyer says the irfOrma-
ton at hand indicates that more than
dozen shipyards could be built on
the great lakes, plants and oreaniza-
ton such as to enable them to build
the hulls and machinery and to launch
naval vessels Of the maximum size
capable of being taken through the st.
Lawrence canal system.
The breadth of recent battleships is
such as would prevent any but sec
ond class vessels of limited draft from
entering any of the drydocks listed on
the great lakes.

the winter palace hotel and shook
hands with more than 100 tourists
from the United States. AS each pass
ed he made a characteristic remark
Even though the ex-president's re-
ception every where has been genuinely
hearty, he still cleaves to his own and
there seemed to be more than warmth
in his greeting to so many Americans
today. At the conclusion Of the re-
ception the tourists gave three cheers
for Colonel Roosevelt and then broke
forth with the we'll known slogan
Whats the matter with Roosevelt?
