New York Sun: Could American
shipyards turn out Mauretanias and
Lusitanias?' was asked yesterday of
John S. Hyde. president of the Bath
tMaine) Iron Works, who is at the
Holland House. Mr.. Hyde's company
built the swift scout cruiser Chester
and the torpedo boats destroyers
flusser and Reid, which are the fast
est of their type in the navy. This
Is question that must be answered
qualifiedly.' Mr.. Hyde answered.
American shipbuilders at present
nave to depend entirely for patronage
on the government or the coastwise
INES. There is no chance to tackle
merchant ships of great size and
speed. But if we could have a few
years practice at building great mer-
chant ships, l think there is no uues-
ton that we should be able to equal
the record we have attained in turn
ing out war vessels"

Ever since 1906. on the occasion of
the Presidents last visit to Fort Sam
Houston, as Secretary of War, when
there was 4 grand review with all 1.-The
pomp and circumstances of war;" the
Construction Department has been
planning and working to enlarge the
post from a iegimental to brigade
post. In 1908 alone $3.50, 900 was spent
for this purpose and when the estab-
| lishment of the brigade headquarters
is finally made the garrison will con-
sist of one regiment of infantry, one Of
cavalry, and three batteries of artil-
lerv, comprising in all from 1900 to A.,
900 men with a monthly payroll of
1925, 900
All arms of tile service are now rep
resented-infantry, cavalry, and artil-
.ery. and two companies of signal corps
have been recently stationed at the
fort. The latter fact is an important
one, as it is stated that experiments in
aerial navigation will be pursued at
the post. because of it's equable climate
and lack of high winds.
At the present time there are $500
soldiers in the garrison. including Of
ficers and men, with monthly pay
roll of $4,000, but the day of the bri-
gade post is not far distant, which
means that the payroll will be over a
quarter of a million dollars monthly,
and that no one will then be able to
dispute Fort Sam Houston's right to
rank first-as the largest army post in
the United States. More than ever
then will the bugles shrill clarion. the
roll of drums, the tramp of armed men,
reproduce the picturesque pageantry or
war, without any of it's attendant dis
agreeable features.-Louise f. Dew. in

neighhorhood of 1855 100000 depending
a good deal on the hauling in March
and yarding conditions during Febru-
ary. 1t was an unusually hard fall for
yarding, on account of 50 many rains
during the first part of the fall ana the
absence of frost in the ground later.
The big rain on the 22d, although sus-
pending operations on the main roads
for some time, was the best thing that
happened to the lumbermen this WIN
ter, as it made a good ice bottom on the
roads, thereby making them able to
withstand the hot rays OF the sun our
ing the latter part of March, whereas
if the rain had not come, the roads
would have barred to mother earth the
last of March. Among the largest OPP

twenty-five yards. The winners time was
5 minutes 49 As seconds-somewhaI disap-
pointing being thrty-five seconds behind
the American record, held by Daniels him

The course at Travers Island lies directly
across the tide, which ran with unusual
swiftness yesterday, and aided by a strong
wind retarded the swimmers considerably.
The crowd was not large. owing to the
uncertainty Of the weather, but made up IN
enthusiasm what was lacking in size
At the crack of the gun which started
the swimmers on their journey Daniels
shot out into the lead, and with. his pow
erfuI crawl opened up a gap of i've yards
over Goodwin in the first fifty yards, VINO
in turn was only a few feet ahead OF Iru-
benbach At the first turn Daniels aban-
doned his crawl and took up his long,
lazy looking trudgeon. with which he not
only held his lead but increased 1T, so that
at the 23o-yard mark Daniels led Goodwin
by fifteen yards. while Bud" was at least
twenty yards ahead of his nearest COM
petitor.
In the next fifty yards Goodwin made his
bid Throwing his last reserve into the
effort the kinky-haired Bud set san for
the champion. Slowly but surely ne cut
down the lead. from twenty yards to 1eh'
