GOVERNMENT MAY
TAKE DRYD0Ck
Charles NJ. SchWab Is Said to
Be Seeking for Federal
Assistance

With the announcement that work
will soon be begun on the great dry
dock at Hunters point, interest has
been revived in the report that the
federal government will soon seek a
site at this port for a drydock OF Its
own.
The big basin at Hunters point is to
be constructed by the Charles Schwab
interests, which recently purchased
the Union iron works and the plant of
the San Francisco drydock company.
1t is stated that Schwab has been
endeavorfng to interest the govern
ment in his enterprise in the hope that
he viii receive financial assistance.
Such equipment as he proposes to pro-
vide would attract 4 generous patron
age from the government
At the same time it is reported that
agents for the federal government
have made surveys of the bay to de-
termine at what points the water
depths and the land formation would
permit of the construction of a great
drydock. 1t has been reported that
Captain Mosher now with the Alaska

tain Mosher were confined to the Ioce-
tion Of the coaling station at Califor-
MIA City
My work, said Captain Mosher
yesterday, was concerned solely with
the selection of site for coaling
station. We recommended California
City and the station has since been
built there.
Il believe Admiral Watson some
years ago looked into the drydock
question. A site on the north side of
Angel island, l believe. was inspected
and also one on the southeast side of
Yerba Buena island. There has been
no recent survey for this purpose as

1t would take a whole page
in this paper to explain to
you why SCOTS Emulsion is
such a wonderful help in cur
ing consumption. The fact is
simple, for it's simply a case
of strength, more strength
and more strength. Every
dose of the emulsion adds
strength. Soon the losing Of
flesh and strength is stopped.
Then, soon there is more
strength than necessary for
ordinary work and. the sur
plus goes to driving out the
disease.
Keep on adding strength;
nothing does it SO quickly
and surely as SCOTS Emul-
sion. Keep on taking the
Emulsion and get all the sun
light and fresh air you can.

When doors, panels, ETC., look dim

If the woodwork is old and repeated
