New Steamer Bear Performs
Well in Rough Weather.
MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS
Develops Speed Of Slightly More Than
Sixteen Knots an Hour--oii USED

Next Thursday.

Under weather conditions that were
ideal for the testing of her stability
and sea worthiness, the new freight
and passenger steamer Bear. built at
the plant of the Newport News Ship
building & Dry Dock Company for
the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company. was given her official
speed and endurance tests yesterday
en- the Virginia coast. The perform
ance OF the vessel was highly salts

the owning company and the yard Of
ficials
When the Bear poked her nose out
side OF the capes she plunged into a
choppy and heavy sea. A high WING
was blowing from the northwest
After rounding Cape Henry. the Bear
turned southwark and ran a short
distance down the coast. The vessel
was running at top speed when she
Iassed out the Capes and she deyel-
oped a speed of slightly more than 10
knots during the speed trial. NO
specific speed was called for in the
contra t. but that developed was sat
isfactory. At the conclusion OF the
speed run, the ship went through evo-
lutions TO test the steering gear.
Use Oil as Fuel.
The Bear will be turned over to
her owners about next Thursday and
che Will leave a few days later on
her voyage to San Francisco. The
vessel is to ply in the trade between
San Francisco and Portland and VIII
burn coal oil as fuel. Oil was used
BY the ship yesterday, but she will
burn coal during the voyage TO the
Pacific.
In turning the Bear out in nine
months, the shipyard has smashed
all records for the construction OF
such a ship by United States yards.
Two years or more ago from fourteen
TO sixteen months would have been
required to build this vessel. Her SIS
tership. the Beaver, will be turned out
next month, the time for her construc-
ton also being niI.e months. The YES
sells are $50 feet long and As feet
broad. Each is propelled by single
screw driven by a triple-expansion en-
CINE of about $500 horsepower. Each
has a cargo carrying capacity of about
1000 tons.

The head Of the Agricultural Col

Hauser consider the offer to come to
that state and spend a few weeks or
ganizing the corn growers into an as

Growers Association. 1t was also de-
sired that he spend some time in the

growing.

WHEAT ACREAGE LARGE.
Ear~ers RI pIan< MoeA

IL is the judgment of old and expert
enced farmers of the county that
larger acreage of Marshall county was
devoted 10 wheat this fall than Of any
other season for perhaps score of
years. The reason for this was the
unusual success that was made from
growing winter wheat last year.
For several years the growing Of
wheat and especially winter wheat, has
been gradually on the increase in this
and surrounding counties. Last season
more land in Marshall county was de-
voted to this cereal than any previous
year Practically all the farmers who
seeded the crop were successful. The
yield averaged probably better than
twenty five bushels an acre, and the
price was high. The most of the crop
was sold for from, So cents to -ci6se to

SWINE HAVE ESCAPED PLAGUE.
Little Of the Dreaded Disease in the
County ourina the Year.

There has probably been no year OF
the last half dozen when farmers and
swine breeders Of the county have suf-
fered such small losses from hog chol-
era. or swine plague. as it is sometimes
called. as they have during the past
year. Veterinarians, whose professional
calls take them to all parts of the
county. are authority for the statement
that the absence Of this dreaded swine
disease has been pronounced this year.
There has been no serious outbreak in
any part Of the county, and there have
been only a very few isolated cases
where the disease has got into herds.
The losses from the disease. compared
with other years, have been very
nominal.
The federal government has made a
marked advanced step in fighting this
plague by discovering cholera serum,
that by many tests that have been
made has proved to be of immense
value. This serum is more especially
Intended as a preventative, with which
hogs may be inoculated so that they
Will be immune from the disease. Thru
the state veterinary laboratory this
serum is now being supplied all over
the state.

81 bushel. The result has been that
more have become interested In wheat
raising. and q very large acreage. com.
pared with previous years, was devoted
to It last fall.
The weather conditions and the con-
dition OF the soil at seeding time this
fail were promising, and the stand as a
whole was excellent, which enabled the
plant roots to become dormant for the
winter season after having attained
good, substantial growth.

that it is reported that General Cha
varria is in retreat and has taken up
a new position. There are vague ru-
mors at Managua that he has met
with defeat 1t is evident that efforts
are being made to prevent the exact
situation from becoming known. The
consul reports:
THE war is fast reducing Western
Nicaragua to state of famine. Mad
riz has prohibited the expectation of
any good products. Monetary ex-
change has increased to 1850, which
is $40 points above the normal rate
and is ruinous to every one, including
the business interests"
The State Department is following
developments in Nicaragua closely
but no action has yet been taken by
the government. 1t was said at the
department today that no report on
the Pittman case had been received
from Consul Moat at Bluefields. If
such report is in the department, it
has not been made public.
