Tunnel the Rockies.

Denver. Colo, Dec. IA proposal
for a great tunnel to pierce the back
bone of the continent will be taken up
at the next session uf the Colorado
legislature. 1t his been placed be-
fore the people of the state by New
man Erb, who has recently beer plac-
ed in control Of the Denver, Northwest
ern and Pacific railroad. more familiar
ly known as the Moffat line, Mr.. Erb
is making arrangements for the eX-
tension of this road to Salt Lake City,
from which point it will eventually
&C to the Pacific coast to become part
Of a great tranScOntinental system.
Mr.. Erb's chief plea to the business
men Of Denver is that the idea of Da-
vid MOtfat, who died before he could
carry out his plan to put a traffic tun-
mel through the Rocky mountains on
an air line between Denver and Salt
Lake City, should be carried out. He
would not want it for his own line
alone, but would have it driven for
the benefit Of all railways that might
want to use It.

Washington. Dec. 1.-Chan.es made
in target practice of the Atlantic fleet
include firing at actual torpedo boats
instead of canvas targets in night
practice: firing actual torpedoes, minus
explosives. at real ships. and firing on
the Old san Marcos wreck at short
range instead of long range.
Heretofore the fleet in practice fired
at targets made by hosting screens of
canvas on mastS erected on rats of
heavy timbcrs, which were anchored
on the range at various points. their
exact location being unknown to the
firing vessel. These screens were
painted dark gray. with a white streak
at the foot supposed to represent the
bow wave of an oncoming torpedo
boat.
1t was decided that hereafter the
targets would be genuine torpedo
boats. Orders were issued to prepare
three of tn" old and out Of date tor
pedo craft of the reserve division for
service as target vessels.
One ship from each class Of vessels
that Is. n DreadnouGht. one battle
ship of the Connecticut class. one of
the Georgia class. and so on-does the
actual firing. The entire fleet forms
in column to come on the range.
The guns of the %broadSide battery
are allowed five rounds Of ammuni-
ton apiece for this practice. and a few
rounds Of the new twelve inch shrap-
mel are distributed for use in the tur-
ret guns.
Sporting practice will again take place
next spring in Tangier sound. firing
again on the wreck of the San Marcos

t~welve-inch shells and as many eight
inch, 500 huge proiectiles in all. will be
hurled at the few battered remnants Of
the old ship which still remain above

Changes at Naval Academy.

Annapolis. Md, Dec. 2.-Much good
is expected to come from the reforms
agreed upon by the navy department
for the Naval academy. While there is
to be no untoward laxity Of discipline,
it is now the idea to be more liberal
for attractions emanating from mere
youthful spirits and not to continue
the drastic forms Of punishment here
tofore in effect. For instance, punish
ments such as extra guard duty and
confinement to quarters and bounds re-
place the more severe forms Of pun
ishment penalties. A postgraduate
urse in connection with the academy
will cause important changes in the
curriculum. The new ideas governing
the academy AXE worlds history out

We NEED PAPER MILL
SAYS GOODENOUGH

Addressing the growers Of the valley
who were in attendance at the meeting
of Tuesday afternoon. W. h. Goode-
pough. who has had a lifelong expert
enre in the manufacture Of the finer
writing papers said: AT the request
Of a number of business men l am
going to tslk to you on a subject al
though it is not about apples, which IS
Of the greatest importance. IL IS con
cerning the manufacture Of inner pa
pers. The Hood River Valley with
It's pure water and its ideal water site
facilities offers an extraordinarily hne
location for such an enterprise. MY
talk will take place at the rooms OF
the Commercial club next Tuesday
evening and sterOpticon slides viii be
used showing every detail Of the man
ufacture Of paper, from hand processes
as to the intricate machinery.
The lecture mentioned by Mr.. Good
enough was delivered a short time ago
before the master printers Of Portland
and created a great deal Of enthusiasm
there. The subject of the address is
the cart of Paper Making and Why so
Called" The views are taken from
one Of the American Writing Papers
Companys greatest mills.
Mr.. Goodenough was at one time
connected with the Whiting Paper Co.
and was for many years connected
with a paper plant where was manu-
featured the finer grades Of paper, at
De Pere, Wis. He came to the Middle
West from New England in 1893. i
was told then that fine paper would
never be manufactured successfully in
the Middle West" he says, but it has
been thoroughly demonstrated that
such an idea was erroneous. And what
was done in Wisconsin can be done 10
Hood River for the location is more
ideally adapted. Because of the rail
and water transportation materials can
be laid down as cheaply as in any point
in the Middle West Every year the
western users pay the freight rates on
envelopes and such forms OF papers as
the finer bonds and tablets. The past
year 100 carloads of tablets alone were
shipped to the west AT present there
is not factory Of this kind west Of
the Rockies. p"
Mr.. Goodenough's recent conferences
with business men has aroused great
deal Of enthusiasm and the sentiment
has been expressed that by the secur-
ing of such plant, Hood River will
be enabled to secure a payroll, which
has for a long time been urged, and a
factory employing men and women of
skilled labor and above the standard
Of those of the ordinary manufactur-
ing plant.
