BATTLESH|P MAINE
WILL Be RAISED
BattIeshlp In Havana Harbor In 81
Feet Of Mud and SIime-Army
Men VIII Do the Work.

The army engineers will do their
best 10 carry out b wishes OF Con
gress, twice expressed, that an effort
shall be made to raise the wreck OF
the battleship Maine from the lotion
OF Havana harbor, where 1t lies i'm.
bedded in II feet Of slime and mud.
The engineers are frank to con
TESS that they do not know the ex-
tent of the task before them, and
they believe that the $1,000 0 appro-
priadon will not be sufficient. Their
present idea is to use az much OF the
none as may be necessary TO make =
thorough Examination Of The wreck
and the surrounding bottom Of the
harbor.
The only known method OF raising
a ship in the condition of the Maine
is to surround her with a Golfer dam
from which the water can be pumped
allowing the hull to be drained and
the holes in the bottom closed.
Engineering history fails to dis
close a Golfer dam of the mammoth
proportions that would be required to
the Maine, for 1t must be as
long as a city block and as high as a
five or six story building-that Is,
from the bottom Of the timbers TO
the top. What the engineers prob
ably will do is to make a thorough
preliminary investigation. This will
cost a good deal OF money and occupy
much time.
In fact it is reasonably certain that
Congress will again be in session be-
fore the results are known and the
engineers can tell Just how much
money it will cost to raise che snip,
Then if Congress should decide to
the deficiency in the appropri-
the wreckers will go ahead with
work. Otherwise it seems prob
able that the Maine will De broken UP
under water and removed piecemeaI
the bottom of the harbor.

FARMERS ARE BUSY
HARVESTING CROP
Work General Throughout County
Horses Suffer From Hest-kittle
or no Hay Made Before Harvest.
From The World of Tuesday:

From The World OF Tuesday:
During the last few days wheat Ia
this county has ripened very fast and
yesterday there were few farms upon
which binders were not working
Quite a few of the farmers started
the cutting OF their wheat last Fri
day or Saturday and those who did
not began yesterday.
Most all the wheat Is standing, a
thing that is considered remarkable
when the recent heavy rains are
taken into consideration The usual
eject of rains at the time these came
IS to throw fiat wwhole fields of grain
Judging from what wheat has been
cut and put on shocks the yield will
be good.
Farmers complains that the heat in
terferes considerably with their pro
gress in the harvest fields. The
horses are not able to stand the hot
weather. While yesterday was not so
hot, yet horses felt the weather con-
siderably. A few hot days effected
quite a number of horses and has left
their imprint, because when a horse
is o~verheated it seldom gets over it
until 1t has passed owe a winter. A
number of horses have no doubt been
thus affected and as a result there
will be less efficiency from these
horses the remainder of the season.
There has been but little hay made
in the county as yet. Usually the
small clover is cut before harvest, but
this has not been done this year. This
is due to the slow growth grass made
prior to the beginning of the warm
weather. Farmers who have fields of
alfalfa have made one cutting and
their fields are almost ready for the
second.

Chairman Tswney, Of the Appropria-
ton Committee Says That Govern
ment Receipts For the Year 1911
Would Exceed the Authorized Ap-
preparations BY s~1f,sa7,s12.

Washington. June 28.-The appro-
priations made by the session of Con
gress just closed amounted to s1,027,-
1873 ,446, according to an official an
-nouncement made by the House appro
priations COMMITTEES.
Separate statements were made BY
Chairman Tawney, Republican, and
Representative Livingston, of Georgia,
ranking Democratic member of the
committee. analyizing the hgures
from the standpoints of the two par
ties. Mr.. Tawney contended that a
reduction of $2S, 52a,821 over the last
session of the Sixtieth Congress had
been achieved. He declared that the
administration had rendered Congress
material aid in reducing expense, and
that a wholesome balance Detween
revenues and expenditures had been
restored. and that prospects Indicated
that the government receipts for the
fiscal year 1911 would exceed The au-
thorized appropriations by $780,
iSq2.
4 Deficiencies Less.
He declared the actual PROBABLE
fixed charge against the revenues DUR
ing the fiscal year 1911. will be $685.
r20, 76f. Mr. Tawney's fixed Charge
statement is based on deducting from
the aggregate the authorization which
carry no appropriations, Panama Ca
nal cost, which bond sales will pay
for. the $40. 000. 900 for reclamation
projects which an Issue of Indebted
ness certificates will cover and de-
fciency appropriations and mlsceila-
neous acts for payment of claims and
other special matters expendable the
present fiscal year, instead Of the
next,
Mr.. Tawney asserted that a sum-
mary of the constructive legislation
of the first regular session OF the
Sixty-first Congress constitutes a rec
ord of accomplishment surprising In
Importance any previous session In
the history of Congress.
He declared there was a substan-
tia1 reduction in current military ex-
penses.
Mr.. Tawney figured that the total
deficiencies appropriated for at the
last session are less by $7,5S7,654 than
those of the previous session and SILL
S25,7Sg less than the annual deficien-
cies since the Spanish War, Mr.. Liv-
ingston, comparing the four years of
Roosevelt's term with the last four
years of C1eveTand's administration,
said there was nearly ~$4,000,0O0,O 600
for four years of Republicanism as

This question is being asked now
that the championship baseball games

going any further it can safely be said
that he has-and has a lot of II. If
he did not have he would not be one
of the leading twirlers of the National
league in the first year with fast COM
pany. His nerve, combined with his
great variety of curves, has made
him a wonderful pitcher in the major
league ranks.
Many think Cole is tCo young and
inexperienced To stand the strain OF
worlds series contest. 1t Is con-
tended that the thoughts Of import
ance Of the contests and facing team
| like the Athletics before crowd OF
probably more than 10000 persons,
would upset the young flinger of the

with a pitcher of Coles experience
and one who has never competed m
a worlds championship. But if his
performance in league games is any
criterion he should not have any trou-
bic i'm doing as well as he has done
before.
Cole was asked if he thought M
would be able to pitch with the cool
ness that he has shown up to date
He replied:
81 do not see where there Is an!
difference i'm pitching in world
series. OF course, the result is O
more Importance, but that should no
make any difference with twirlel
