tains besides the ordinary business ar
tcles one asking the voters to exempt
from taxation for a term Of years the
Crandon Manufacturing company, which

article to see if the town will vote to

purposes. Several years ago when the
same question was put to the voters
they decided to sell for $17, or If the
deed could be made so that if the prop
erty was not used for school purposes
it should revert to the town the price
was to be made SIS, 000 The matter of
establishing the school at that time was
not carried through and it now comes
up again for action.

New York. Jan. THE usual precedent
in Wall street was reversed this year by
q broad and strong stock market imme-
diately following New Years Day. The
general rule is for the stock market to
be dull for a time on such occasions, al
though just why this Is 30 Is beyond
telling.l The cause OF the re.her notable
advance witnessed last Tuesday was
doubtless the optimistic sentiment almost
universally characterizing the opinions
OF business men and of other authori-
ties that found expression in reviews
published at the years end Of the condi-
ton OF business and Of current belief as
to future prospects.
The stock market. as a whole. did not

WILL REORGANIZB
THE BRITISH NAVY
Lord Beresford's Criticism
Cause of Change.

London, Jan. IA complete redrgsniza-
tion of the British naval administration,
placing the responsibility for England's s
future preparedness for war on the
shoulders of pretentious war stan. COM
posed of young officers, was announced
by the admiralty this afternoon.
This drastic action is accepted I'm and
out Of official circles as a Justification OF
the recent charges made by Lord Charles
Beresford and Capt. Faber, NJ. p, that
clash with Germany over the Moroccan
crisis would have found the British navy
unprepared for war.
The chief of the new staff will be Rear
Admiral Ernest c. Troubridge. now sec
retary to Mr.. Churchill. and he will be
succeeded by Rear Admiral David Beatty.
VINO married the daughter OF the late
Marshall Field. OF Chicago, and who is
the youngest rear admiral in the British
navy. He will have the title Of naval
secretary. Sir Francis J. Hopwood Is
appointed additional civil lord on the
board OF admiralty. and Capts. George A.
Ballard and Thomas Jackson are ap-
pointed directors of the operations and
the intelligence divisions, respectively, OF
the war staff. Rear Admiral Sir Alex
ander Bethel Browes, commander-in-
chief OF the East Indian division, sue
ceeds Rear Admiral Sir Edmond ]. w.
Slade.
Mr.. Churchill explains that the pur-
pose of the admiralty in creating the war
stan Is 10 provide a means OF preparing
young officers for the responsibilities
which will come with advancement. They
will be tutored in every branch OF the
service, paying particular attention &c
strategy and scientific warfare. He lays
Stress on the purpose of the admiralty 10

first qualification of every man in the
service.
The staff will be under the general au-
thority of the board of admiralty. 1t
will consist of three divisions Of opera
tions, mobilization. and intelligence. each
to be equal in status and under the d.
rection of a captain. and all TO be under
the supervision of the chief Of stan.

SAILORS RECOGNIZE HER.
Boys from the Oregon Had Not For
gotten Nurne.

While the Queen of Bohemia Company,
which is at the Gayety all this week, was
playing in Boston several weeks ago, a
few sailors found their way 10 some front
orchestra seats and were soon interested
in the various acts. Nothing occurred 10
mar their attention until the burlesque
was announced. Miss Kathleen Kay, one
Of the soubrettes, who figures quite
prominently, was interrupted in the de-
livery of her lines by one of>the sailors
saying TO his companions:
Boys. amt that the little nurse we met
on the hospital boat on Havapa?"
"Surei Surer' cried the others in an
swer. The sailors by this time had at
tracted the entire audience. Miss Kay
took in the situation at a glance, ad-
vanced 10 the front of the stage and, sa-
Iuting the boys, said: What ship, my
lads?" Upon hearing this the sailors sa-
luted in return and replied: The Ore
gon." The sailors, then knowing they
were right, remained quiet the remainder
of the performance, after which they
awaited at the stage door for the appear
ance Of Miss Kay.
Upon her exit she greeted them cordially,
and at the same time invited talem TO call

vious over the entire country. There IL
no place where three or more business
men are gathered together where this

country has seen the worst Of its recent
depression, and there Is recognition OF
the fact that the extent OF this depres-
sion has been all along exaggerated.
There is confidence in the soundness Of
our banking position; there is confidence
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States may be depended upon to pre-
serve rightful property interests and to
use the power wisely intrusted TO II by
the Constitution TO annul the schemes
OF agitators and demagogues; there Is
confidence that the people OF the country
themselves have become tired Of corpora

Of the government with business. OF the
appointment of legislative and Congress
committees for the purpose Of assailing
business interests, and tired Of talk Of
politics, anyway. even apart from It's
relation to business affairs. The truth
Is that the process of assailing corpora
tions has now reached a stage where
business, so far from being hurt by Il,
is being helped, in that a public resent
ment at the process is beginning to be
created.

are made for standardizlng the engineer

Cape Flattery, of the entrance to the
Straits of Juan de Fuca, at the extreme
northwest corner of the State Of WASH

on Swiftsure Bank, close TO the inter-
national boundary, about six miles on
Vancouver Island, and the other at

Much Risk Is Involved.
Both vessels are in exposed positions
and the question of receiving coal and
other supplies during the stormy season
Is a matter involving risk and hardship
on the part OF officers and crew OF both
the tenders and the lightships. Small
boats are swung overheard, and the coal,
previously sacked in burlap bags weigh
ing about 100 pounds each. is tossed into
them from the decks of the tender. The
crew then row the cargo boat along
side the lghtshlp and the bags of coal
are lifted aboard. 1t is not generally
possible to take more than two or three
tons at one boatload, and as from twen-

necessary.

An important point visited in this con-

The question of improving the range

completed breakwater at San Pedro. An
appropriation for building a lighthouse at
the end OF this breakwater was made At

for its construction have been prepared.
