as the long and the short haul clause,
the Nevada commission was a most
able body and had prepared and pre-
sented one of the strongest cases to
the Interstate commerce commission,
showing the injustice done to the in
termountain country by the unfair
backhaul charge of the railroads upon
which that tribunal had acted"
Il personally know the three gentle
men who comprise this body, namely
Mr.. Bartine, Mr.. Shaughnessy and Mr.
Thurtell, and / know them to be able
and fair minded men, asking only JUS
tice for the citizens of the state of
Nevada, and ready at all times to en-
courage the building of new railroad
lines within our borders; therefore, ]
favor, and am sure this will meet
with no objections from any Republi-
can, that the party pledge itsef in
the case of its success at the polls on
the Sth day of November next, to re-
tain the above named gentlemen as
memhe RS of the state railroad COM
mission.

railroaes have control Of the politics
of the state Of Nevada, and have had
for TIE past ten years as some seem
to think. but shall favor any vigor-

these ratters. There is no politics In
such qaestion; it Is simply a Ques-
ton Of business, and / believe every
man IN the state wants to give the
railroads square deal, but no more
nor no less. I know that has always

The Idaho, Which Stood Next to
Foot Last Year, Makes Won
derful Jump to Top of List.

ing the ship from torpedo attack. The
object IS to protect the ship from the
three or four targets hidden in the
night and supposed theoretically to be
torpedo craft.
The firing ship steams into the zone
marked out by buoys, and Ter captain
finds himself suddenly informed by the
umpire that he IS in danger of being
destroyed by torpedoes. All is black
ness out to sea, the targets not being
visible and their location being kept
secret.
Immediately the searchlights of the
firing ship sweep the seas in all direc-
tions.- The white rays pick up one tar
get or torpedo boat, and instantly some
of the threeinch battery begin pepper
ing away at it. A few moments later
another target is located and another
battery marks her as its prey.
Shots fired by night have tiny red
tracers attached SO that they can be
seen shooting through the air much like
! IA skyrocket When the vessels of the
feet are at this work the almost end
less series Of red streaks is an impress
sive sight.
The naval authorities are very much
pleased with the results obtained this
year. 1t is felt now that both the
- elementarv' and "battle' practices
have been brought to state of great
efficiency, not only in the conditions
! under which the firing takes place, but
also in the records actually made.
The Vermont is the pennant winner
in battle practice, having eclipsed all
| records of her competitors. The Idaho,
| if she remains in the lead after the
| scores are made up and completed, will
| still have to compare her score with the
records to be made by the Pacific feet
and the vessels which have not yet fired
| before she can be declared the winner.
| The difference between elementary, or
gun pointers, practice and battle prac-
! tice should be noted. In elementary
practice each turret or gun fires sepa-
ratelv at a target two thousand yards
distant. The range depends upon the
officer in charge of the turret or the
| gunners themselves, each turret or gun
acting independently.
l. In battle practice the entire fleet APP
proaches the target eight thousand or
| nine thousand yards distant and all
| broadsides fire salvos at the same time.
In battle practice the range is con-
! trolled by the officers in the fire control
tower, who tell the gunners just how to
point their guns. The gunners obey
| and fire when they are told. Thus the
range finding is taken out of the hands
| of the gunners in battle practice, as
| would be the case in real battle.
| The elementary practice trains the
| gunners so that in battle practice when
they are given the range they can carry
out instructions efficiently and in record
| breaking time.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-05-22

Thus the target screen was pierced
tWentN-toUr times out of twenty
shots fired by these turrets. The rec
ords Of the other turrets were well
above the mark.
Naval officers have heard that a pas
senger on the fruit steamer Lovland
SAID the steamer got off her course Sat
urday at dusk and was fired at 1l2
times by the target practice fleet be
fore the navy men learned that the
Lovland was not the target. From the
general run of scores made, if the Low
land had been taken for the target
and fired at ll2 times she would have
been hit about 10 times and no pas;
senger would have come into port to
tell the tale.
The practice this year was under the
new rules for elementary or gun point
ers' practice. Formerly in what was
called record, or gun pointers practice
the ships of the fleet sought smooth
or landlocked water, where the vessels
would not roll and where the targets
could be held immovable. Under these
conditions the gunners often made good
scores. and the experts In charge of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-05-22

the target practice found it would be
expedlent to increase the difficulties.
1t was reasoned that in time of battle
a ship would seldom be in smooth water
and the target would seldom be i'm
nova ble.
Consequently under the new rules the
ships fire at movable targets in a rough
sea, which gives the decks d roll of FIVE
to six degrees and sometimes even mora.
The targets are towed at about the
cruising rate of ten knots an hour, so
that so far as the gunner Is concerned
the practice is Just as it would be in
real battle, with the one exception that
there are no hostile shells to contend
with. Moreover, the various divisions
carry on their target practice at The
same time, but independently and at a
safe distance from one another. This
gives to each ship practically the same
conditions of wind and weather, and
thus greatly minimizes the element of
luck
In the night practice only the smaller
caIiber guns are ired-that is, the three
inch and other small weapons which in
time of battle would be used IN protect

inch turrets. in command of Ensign
Bruce canaga. formerly of the Yer
mont, began shooting at the target,
which looked like tiny kite out at sea.
Sixteen times the turret blazed forth
with its deafening roar. and fourteen
Of these sixteen shots pierced the target
screen.
The turrets of the Louisiana made
records that will do credit to the navy
gunner for years to come. The for
ward twelveinch turret, commanded by
Lieut.. b. McCandless. who devised the
twelve-inch hand loading turrets. made
eight hits out of eight shots in remark
able time.
The after twelve-inch turret of the
Louisiana, commanded by Lieut. H. Z.
kimmel. fired eight shots and made
eight hits on the same~run as the for
ward turret. Both turrets made equal
scores and equaIed the remarkable per
Torrance Of last year.
The after eight-inch turret of the
same ship. commanded by Lieut. Hugo
Frankenberger, also made the remark
