Admiral Schroeder decided to find out
just how deficient his men were along
this line. Knowing that hundreds Of
sailors come from inland towns where
swimming is not one Of the average
boys amusefnents, his aides made an
inspection Of the fleet and discovered
that out Of 10000 men about 5000 were
totally helpless in the water. The
swimming instructions We're. unique.
The instructors went into the water
firstA-one Of them In charge OF a boat;
the men who could not swim We're
equipped with life preservers and
board. They We're then given instruc
tions and were usually able to take
care of themselves after two or three
days.
The immense drill grounds on the
shores or the bay are SO large that an
army might camp on it's sandy plains
Almost absolutely level. it makes a

as far as possible, no garbage being
allowed to be dumped there. as II with

much money must be spent To make
Guantanamo a naval base worthy OF a

New York, Dec. 3.-A' project is
now under way to relieve New York
harbor proper of all transatlantic
passenger business and shorten the
route to Liverpool by from four to
seven hours. The scheme rs a daring
one. 1t is planned to land transat-
lantic passengers at the extreme end
Of Long Island on Montauk point and
rush them, via hong Island railroad,
into the heart of New York city
through the tunnel.
The plan is believed to be perfectly
logical and was first suggested two
decades ago by Austin Corbin. Even
the Imagination of Corbin and his
followers failed to picture the gigantic
wharf system which may be built
along the southern shores of GARDENERS
bay and the harbor which Arthur Ben
son of Brooklyn bought from the tribe
of Montauk Indians for several hun
dred dollars and negro wives. After the
first pier is built, steamboat men say
work will be rushed ION a continuous
system of such structures stretching a
| half mile or more from shore.
With from four to eight hours clipped
from the time of transatlantic voy.

fixing UP an attractive little waiting
wait for the train or until the boat is
sent for them. The leading restaurant
is run by a Chinaman, and his staple
menu is OK liver, ham and eggs, coffee
bread and butter, and this cannot be
eaten with any sort of relish IL one
has had a view of the kitchen.
The most unfortunate thing about
this place Is the number of saloons
and the character OF liquor they SELL
This does not come under our pure
food law, and as Cuba has none. the
quality Of drinks is bad and some Of
our sailors have tested the whisky to
their SORROW The use Of liquor is, of
course, forbidden at the naval station.
and for man to be found with it in
his possession would mean a court
martial, but there is nothing to pre-
vent his drinking the vile stuff.
The establishment of the large sta
tion will necessarily bring a large
number of people to Caimanera, for all
the supplies cannot be sent in by ship.
Fresh fruits and vegetables must come
through Camanera. which II not under
better police control will then become
the Port Said Of this side Of the globe
m its vileness. 1t Is a town OF few
women, for every man who is hnfortu-
nate enough to have to do business In
Caimanera leaves his wife In Guam
tanamo. se
The weather in this part of Cuba is
always delightful, for even in mid
summer while the days are very warm
the nights are always delightfully."- cool
The bay is SO sheltered and protected
as to make an excellent place for ships
to lay at anchor During February
and March the wind blows every day
for about an hour or two, but even
with this the waters of the bay are
usually calm. During the early part
Of this year when the American fleet
was at Guantanamo for the winter
practice, the waters of the bay were
so warm that more than $500 of oul
sailors were given swimming lessons.
The Daily Missoulian., 1910-12-04

the number OF persons from any one
country who desire to travel to other
countries for pleasure or profit has
grown tremendously. To meet those
demands the present fleet Of great
ocean liners has been developed.
growing ever larger. swifter and more
numerous. A hundred swift liners
comprise the fleet that regularly plies
between New York and the ports of
northern Europe and the Mediterra-
mean. Half as many more run from
this city to other parts of the world.
or the vast commerce passing through
this port scarcely one-tenth is carried
by tramp steamships. Great liners,
carrying hundreds Of passengers. and
thousands of tons Of freight, travel
on all the important trade routes. The
shippers prefer them. for he knows
when his goods are to leave portland
when they will arrive at their foreign
destination. Their rates are as low as
the tramp can give, their course In
transit is far swifter and more GER
tain, and time means money to the
shipper under such circumstances.
Thus, the tramp Is crowded off the
main highways, and must seek liv-
ing in ports less well supplied with
transportation facilities, or in lines
of trade where time. is a negligible
factor
There are those who affect to see in
the passing of the tramp threat to
the freedom of the sea. They say that
1t Is all very fine for the big steam
ship companies to give more frequent
and regular sailngs and to pug ocean
commerce on more stable and sat
isfactory footing, but that already
there are agreements OF rates, and
that ultimately there will be mo-
! nopoly that will exact exorbitant rates
and make ocean freights as costly as
is land carriage now in sections
where competition Is lacking.
Experienced shipping men believe
that there is no likelihood of any such
development as this. If a railway
| charges exorbitant rates it is not pos
stble to set IN a rival line on shor,
notice. but the ocean Is free high
| way. Probably there are agreements
among the great lines to maintain
! stable rates, but these rates must be
| kept low or the hawklike tramp, ever
! on the alert for profitable opening
| will swoop down and gather in tbs
| business. Thus the tramp, while faller
( from is former estate, still fulfills q
| useful purpose in covering the un.
beaten paths of ocean trade, in han.
| ding certain classes of cargo and as
a check upon the liner itself. For thii
reason she is likely to survive TO
many years to come.

is spoken of most people think that
it is located near the little Cuban city
of that name, but such is not the case.
as the station is at least 20 miles from
this village and Cainianera, a little
stevedore village. is the nearest place
for supplies by land from Cuba. The
station is about two miles from here.
This town is reached from Guanta-
Ramo City by a rickety train, which
runs al uncertain hours, intended prin-
cipally to take Workmen down to the
point" where ships are unloaded.
There is no first class passage-in-
deed, it might be described as about
fifth class While the distance is not
more than 20 miles, it sometimes takes
an hour and half to make the trip.
The ballast for the track is scarce,
and the train has a sort of rocking
chair motion, and one momentarily
expects it to jump off the track into

that the more aristocratic liner IS too
busy or in too much of hurry to
claim.
The United States has had little
share in the development of the tramp
steamer. It's rise took place in the
period following the civil war, when
the American people were ton inuch
occupied with the problems and prof
its of internal development to pay
much attention to the comparatively
modest returns from ocean trade. Few
of these vessels have ever. voyaged

New York docks will be used chiefly
for freight. Some even say the big
piers built by the city along West
street may be used in time solely for
coastwise steamers.
