The strychnia is dissolved in a

"TExAS" is LAUNCHED
Greatest Dreadnaught Ever Built
by U, S, Navy Touches Water
the First Time Saturday

New Port News, Va, Nav Is.
The battleship, Texas" the
greatest dreadnaught that has
ever been constructed by the
navy of the United States. was
successfully launches here today.
As the big hull, gay beneath
yards of bunting and with colors
flying started down the ways
little Miss Claudia Lyon, the ten
year-old daughter of Colonel
Cecil A. Lyon, Republican Ma
tlonal Committeeman from Texas
crashed a bottle of champagne
across the bows. and christened
her the Texas, the highest
fighter in the navy.
As the great mass of steel
leaped forward TO plunge into
her briny element there arose a
mighty cheer, and that cheer
was led by Texans proud of the
ship and the name she bears.
There is little of beauty about a
ship when she is launched, but
it requires no great stretch of
imagination to transform the
cables and ropes and scaffolding
and all signs Of the craftman's
art into the fighting tower, tur-
rets. and tunnels torpedo tubes,
and great guns.
Beyond the completion of the
great steel hull so thickly en-
cased in armor plate and placing
OF the main stock, the Texas
when she was launched. today
was only a vague outline of the
mighty engine of destruction
and guardianship of the nation
which will be presented when
the finished Texas steams away
on her trial trips in October,
1913. Il
WHAT THE NEW TEXAS is
When she is completed. the new
battleship Texas will be the pride
of Uncle Sans navy. She and
her sister ship. the New York.
now under construction at the
New York navy yard, represent

The plans and specifications
for the new battleship which
will be designated as the Texas
were authorized by an act of con-
gress approved June "A, 1910,
and were completed in Septem-
Der, of that year. Bids Were
Immediately sought for the con-
struction of the ship. The bids

and the contract awarded a week
later to the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company
at a price of SO, S36, 600. She is
the first ship of the navy to be
built under the new eight-hour
labor law which increased the
price over other battleships by
p per cent. The keel of the
Texas was laid on April II, 1911
and she will be ready for com
mission in October 1912.
While the Texas will be of the
same class as the present North
Dakota and Delaware, the rever-
sal Of her large and small turrets
as compared with the latter YES
sells and the improvements in her
armament will render her a much
more effective and efficient bat
tleship.
Compared with the old Texas
whose place this new levithian is
TO take in the navy of Uncle
Sam, the new ship is indeed
giant. The keel of the old Texas
was laid in June of 1899 and her
length Of water line was but 301
feet. The extreme breadth of
the new vessel at the water line
IS 80 feet as against the "a of the
Did boat. The displacement Of
the new ship is 81, 600 tons. while
hat of the old Texas was but
i3l5 tons. Parallelling the coal
capacity of the bunkers of the
new Texas 1850 short tons with
hat of the old Texas, $50 tons.

There can be no more conclu.
sive evidence of our progress
than a comparison of the plat.
forms of candidates of to day
with those of some OF our pre-
vious campaigns. The time was
when the floors of many plat
forms were wet with blood and
candidates oftimes announced
for Office by thrusting a sword
in the side of industry but the
fruits of demagoguery. like the
wages of sin, are bitter and
candidates who are equipped
only with Notwithstanding
phrases and red-hot sentences
find little sympathy and no au-
dlence in Texas this year. There
is building material in most
every platform announced so
far; the invitation Of industry is
in the voice of every public
speaker and the candidates are.
in the main, men who know how
to build. Texas is getting ready
for constructive legislation.

MODERN HOTEL FOR KELLIHER
40 Room, $4,000 Structure, to Be
Opened There February IL.

Kelliher's modern new hotel is
nearly ready for the public. This
weeks Kelliher Journal says: with
the carpenters putting on the final
finishing work, the furnishings and
fixtures being installed, the new Ho-
tel Kelliher the modern forty-room
building, will be opened to the pub
lie, Monday, February IL. The new
hotel is a credit to Kelliher, contain
ing besides the lobby forty commo-
dious rooms, steam and electric light
ed, with all modern conveniences.
Work on the building was commenced
last fall, and Manager Gunderson's
promise to have a first class hotel by
spring has been more than fulfilled.
And indeed the finished structure far
exceeds the expectations Of the pub
lie, being erected at cost estimated
to exceed $4,000. The new hostel
ry is worthy of the substantial
growth of Kelliher and surrounding
country, and will provide ample and
|commodious accommodations for the
travelling public. Plans for the OPP
Esening have not yet been announced,
but it is safe to predict that 1t will
|Sbe in entire keeping with the struc-
ture.

committed to the insane asylum at
Fergus Falls by Judge of Probate
Clark. Mr.. Tweeton was released last

to shoot man, the homicide being
