NEW WARSHIP TO BE FAST
The Pennsylvania Will Be One
of the Swiftest Of Her Glass.
iron The Tribune Bureau

Washington Sept. e-Besides being the
most heavily armored and armed battle
ship ahoet. the Pennsylvania. the only
battleship authorized In the naval appro-
priation bill, will be one OF the fastest OF
her class IN the world. The specifications
probably will call for a maximum speed
Of upward OF twenty-five knots. The ves-
sci will be $50 feet in length. IS feet longer
than the Oklahoma or the Arizona, now
building
Although speed will be an essential In
the battIeship. the Navy Department does
not intend TO sacrifice armor for speed.
The Pennsylvania will be protected by
plates Of steel OF the same thickness as
those on the Oklahoma and the Arizona,
and, in addition, a 1s-inch plate will ex-
tend over larger portion OF the hull,
thus giving greater protection under the
water line.
The Pennsylvania will have beam Of
% feet 2r inches. The Navy Department
does not think Il wise TO make this any
larger, because the Panama Canal locks
will not accommodate vessels with beams
OF more than 10 feet.
Some idea OF the size Of the Dread
nought may be gained BY the fact that
there are now only three American dry
docks which would accommodate her
the navy docks at New York. Norfolk
and Puget Sound. The Pearl Harbor dock
at Honolulu, now building, VIII easily
hold the new fighter.

The elephant thought Il about time to

the challenge with aiacrity. He sprang
upon the elephant and sank his teeth in

tore him Off with his trunk as though he
were a baby. He seemed 20 be content

elephant dashed him 10 the ground. As
the lion was picking himself up the ele-

Senator Clapp joined in the protest.
He declared the bill bore the date OF

able to get hold Of it until a half
hour before being presented.
Senator Penrose replied that experts
of the finance committee had prepared
the bill in June but that not until to-

considerable support. Re admitted
that members had a right to complain,
but said that he had not believed until

he would support the measure intro

Senator Cummins said he believed
the bill contained duties higher than

port.

SAWM|LL WILL NOT
GUT LUMBER IN
Only Unprecedented Rains
Will Raise River Enough
to Floats the Logs.

In all probability the Grand Forks
Lumber company's big mill cannot
cut lumber next ear. The following
from the Crookston Times shows with
what difficulty the company there has
brought down their drive of logs and
unless W feet or more OF water
should fall before next spring the
river will not be hig henough to float
drives of any size to East Grand
Forks. The clipping follows:
After a struggle which began the
first Of May. the head Of the log drive
from Red lake reached Crookston
yesterday and the mill. which ex-
hausted the log supply here after a
two weeks run, will resume saving
on Saturday, with an ample supply
Of logs between here and Red Lake
Falls to keep busy till the freezeup
next fall.
"All the logs coming down will be
kept here. the Crookston Lumber
company having purchased those
owned by the Grand Forks Lumber
company as there was little prospect
Of driving logs from here to Grand
Forks.
after a long struggle and the dig
ging of a channel to let the water out
of Red lake and into the Red Lake
river. sufficient water was u to
get most Of the logs down to Red
Lake Falls. To get them here floods,
five hours apart. were secured by
raising the dam across the Clearwater
at Red Lake Falls. a small army Of
drivers making the most of each
flood. The drive was the most costly
and wearisome ever attempted on the
Red Lake river, ne~cessitating the
most strenuous tactics.
THE government agent, who just
took soundings in Red lake. reports a
fall of ten inches below the unprece-
denied low stage of last fall, and un-
less there are phenomenal rains this
fall or next spring. a drive next year
will be out Of the question, and no
logs will be available beyond the sur
plus left over after the shutdown of
the Crookston mill this fall, though
millions Of feet are strung along the
headwaters.
"The people Of Crookston appreciate
the determined efforts made by the
Crookston Lumber company to get
the logs down, as 1t means a big
steady payroll from now till fall and
also means cheap fuel for the fall
and winter. Messrs. Lakin of Be-
midi. who has been here pushing
things, Foreman Daily Of the log
drive, and Supt. Evans of the Crooks
ton mill are about the happiest men
1 nthe valley now that the logs have
started, to arrive"
