In these succeeding naval building

is no avoiding the significance of the
readiness with which the ''up-td-

obsolete. 1t was not so long ago that
the 500-ton destroyer and the 10000
ton battleship were the worthiest ex-
pressions of the skill of the naval
constructor and the naval engineer.

Current Comment
THE GROWING SHIPS

The naval building programme for
1911 will shortly be considered by the
secretary of the navy on his return to
Washington from his transcontinental
inspection tour. 1t is not altogether
a question this year of the amount
of money which congress will be ask
ed to appropriate in providing for
additional ships. There are technical
or military questions involved in the
problem, such as the increase in the
development in the torpedo boat de-
stroyers, to mention no other aspects
of the situation. 1t is now to be de-
termined whether the 26,000-ton bat
tleship for which provision was made
at the last session OF congress, and
for the construction of which bids
are shortly to be opened in the navy
department, will suffice in the way
of displacement for another year
There are already indications that
btatleship displacement is to be in
creased. possibly to 10000 tons. The
gradual development in size of bat
tleship has displaced the armored
cruiser, which was not many years
ago regarded as an important feature
of naval offense. The new 14-inch
gun. of which ten are to be installed
on each of the battleships of 1910,
appears to be of the acceptable cali
ber although it is a question for the
strategical experts to determine
whether there shall be more than ten
such guns or heavier armor. it being
entirely a matter of distribution of
weights.
No more remarkable development in
naval construction has occurred than
that which will mark the plans for
the new destroyers. The displace-
ment of that type is to be increased

Newmark & Orde flOated high on
that food Of apparent prosperity
that attends business well COLI

The Boom and Driving company made
money, of course. for with the margin
OF 80 PEP cent or thSreabouts neeessi-
tated by the temporary value Of the
improvements good years could hardly
fail to bring good returns. This, it
will be remembered, was stock COM

Immediately after the granting Of
the charter to drive the river the part
ners had offered them an opportunity
Of acquiring about 30.0O0,O00 feet Of
timber remaining from Morrison Il
Days original holdings. Orde finally
completed the purchase on long time
notes. Below the bOOms they erected
mill. The following winter Orde
spent In the woods. By spring he had
banked about 6O00.OO0 feet

went into the carrying trade. The
most important acquisition was that
of the northern peninsula timber.
Most operators called the white pine

far distant when the world would be
compelled to hook elsewhere for its
lumber. and he turned his eyes to the
almost unknown north. After a long
investigation he purchased 300,000,OOO
feet. This was to be paid for mostly
