PLANS FOR STRONGER NAVY.
Battleshp to Cost SIs, 200, ,ooo-sub-
marines for Pacific.

marines Tor FaClTlC.
Washington, Feb. 28.- Secretary
Meyer, of the navy department, is
said to have told the house naval
committee today of plans of building a
worlds record-breaking battleship Of
80, 900 tons displacement at a cost of
SIS, 900, 900 and making the United
States the leading naval power.
Members of the committee said that
the secretary's radical plans were
favorably received by the committee.
The secretary did not refer to naval
strength in numbers of ships or arma-
ment, but to various features of i'm
provement of the efficiency of ships
and guns.
The building of the proposed giant
battleship is delayed until next year
only because the naval experiments
with 14-inch guns have not been COM
pleted, and the department desires to
know the result of full experiments.
Tentatively, it is planned to arm the
great battleship with battery of
fourteen 14-inch guns of the latest
type.
The secretary said that plans for en-
largement of all the drydocks of the
country, as outlined to the committee
some weeks ago, were made in contem-
plation of the great enlargement of the
battleships and he wanted the docks
built to accommodate ships of great
size.
1t was tentatively agreed that the
naval increase this year, based on the
secretary's recommendations, shall be
as follows: Two 27,00O-ton battle
ships, equipped either with IL or IA
inch guns; one regular ship, two col
liers and five submarines.
The submarines are for the Pacific
coast, and are the first of fast feet
of these vessels which will be provided
in the next few years. The plan to
place ten additional submarines on the
Pacific coast next was considered fav-
orably.
These submarines will be one of the
fastest yet launched, and will be cap
able of making speed under water of
IL knots an hour.
A member of the committee said
that the government had unofficial in
formation to the effect that Japan is
laying the keels of two great battle
ships approaching the $4,000 ton
limit. He said the tonnage of the
great battleship under consideration
would depend to a great extent upon
the weight of the batteries of the huge
l4-inch guns, which would be placed
On this ship.

immense Body Of Land in Lakeview
Open for Settlement.

Immense Body of Land in Lakeview
Open for Settlement.
Lakeview = There are 4,152, 400
acres of land open to entry in the
Lakeview land district, which com
prises Crook, Klamath, and Lake coun-
ties, Oregon. OF this area 3,436, 927
acres is surveyed, while the balance is
unsurveyed. Of the three counties the
greatest body of open land is in Lake,
which has a total of 2.759, 100 acres.
Crook county has 495. 200 acres and
klamath 898, 100 acres, the greater
portion of which is open to the settler.
Lake county is about one tenth
mountains, three e-tenths grazing, three
tenths agricultural and three tenths
timber lands. Much that is classed as
grazing land is really agricultural
land, as it can be titled under "dry
farming" methods in vogue in many
Of the Western states. klamath coun-
ty lands are divided into two tenths
timber, one-tenth mountains, four
tenths grazing and three-tenths agri-
cultural. A large area that has been
classed as grazing is being reclaimed
by the klamath reclaim alton project
that is already supplying water to
portion of the district. Crook county
is composed of one-tenth mountains,
seven. tenths grazing and two-tenths
agricultural, though the area open to
settlement is not to be compared to the
other counties until the railroads enter
that section.

unlversItx Of Oregon Grows.

University of Oregon = Eugene
Two new buildings, made necessary by
the rapid growth in enrolment, are to
be erected at the University of Oregon
according to the decision reached by
the board of regents at their semi-an-
nual meeting held in Eugene last week.
The first of these will be an admins
tration building, to contain the presi-
dents, the university stewards and
the registrars Offices on the first floor
and an auditorium on the second. The
second building will consist of class
rooms exclusively. The regents found
that with the present enrolment, a
number of instructors have no perma-
nent recitation room, but hold their
classes in any room where opportunity
will permit. The erection of an ad-
ministration building will leave all of
Willard hall, in which the present Off
ces are situated, free for additional
class rooms, and the Condor Geological
collection, the most valuable of its kind
on the Pacific coast, which is now
crowded into a room containing about
one-third the space needed. will proba-
bly, be placed in the present assembly
hall on the second floor of Willard.

streets and roads have been graded,
with four miles more to be graded this

NEWEST FANCY IN HATPIns
Fabric Heads in the Shape Of Rosettes
and Rosebud Wreaths
Are in Favor.

Fabric heads are the newest fancy
In hatpins. The most fragile of these
novelties are in the shape of rosettes
and tiny rosebud wreaths of stiffened
white net, and the most substantial
are of Irish crochet representing
either the shamrock or the full-blown
rose. Also, of flower form are the
hatpin tops of celluloid tinted in imi-
tatlon of whatever exotic is represent
ed, and there are some choice and
expensive specimens of coral carved

Pin tops of filigree metal In square
and circular form are set with coral
rose balls, with pearls and amethysts,
and many of sterling silver are brill
Hantly enameled with color.
Amethysts are q favorite setting for
the colonial pin tops of FURNISHED
gold and form the center of the flower
shapes which have petals of white
stones.
Hatpins have so gradually increased
in size and cost that they are now re-
garded as a portion of the jewelry and
are as carefully looked after. The
amethysts, garnets, rhinestones or
pearls Of hatpin head are quite
worth saving when the ornament it.

throw away a handsome top because
its pin is bent or broken or several
of the semi-precious stones of it's set
ting have fallen out, owing to her
failure to have her expensive hatpins
examined as regularly as she does her
rings. While the larger shops do not
repair jewelry set with semi-precious
stones, there are many minor dealers
who will gladly renovate an~elaborate
hatpin, and for an amazingly small
sum.

SEASON OF STYLE CHANGES
Radical Changes In TaiIor-Made Suits
Striped and Checked Materials
Are Very Popular.

Soutache braiding, mostly used on
heavy materials, is now appearing on
the fine materials, such as chiffon,
mousseline, ninon, ETC., the rose, blue
and gray shades being particularly
lovely. Russian braid trims some of
the dresses in ninon, the design being
worked in military style.
Striped and checked materials are
very popular sjust now, and they
make very charming tailor-made suits
The stripes or checks are either close
or widely separated, and in some
cases they are used in combination
with plain material.
1t will be season Of radical
changes in tailor-made styles, from
the fact that the skirts are all mar
row, have one or two models of plaits
from the waist, which are tightly
strapped in about IL inches from the
bottom.
Early showing of fabrics for suits
are mostly tweed and serge, in mixed
colorings. Velvets will be extremely
fashionable for winter wear, in dark
colors, with a fine stripe of another
hue. -
These elaborate little poleros of
embroidery transform a simple gown
into ornateuess. They look wonder
fully smart, too. over last seasons
dress, and they are particularly pref
ty over dresses of soft net.
