LYMPIA IS NOT
in TURKISH FLEET
LOCAL RECRUITING OFFICER FOR
NAVY SAYS STORY THAT THE
FAMOUS OLD AMERICAN WAR
y SHIP is NOW IN SERVICE OF
TURK is NOT TRUE.

A short article has made several ap-
pearances in publications of this
country stating in tones. Of pathos,
that the battleship, Olympia, Dewey's
old flagship during the Spanish Am
erican war was a member of the be-
draggled Turkish fleet at anchor in the
Dardenelles and that she had been
shorn Of all her glory and tugged,
ashamed, at her moorings before the
gaze of passing ships, in the Moham-
medan fleet.
Recruiting Officer Patterson of the
navy recruiting station here offers an
emphatic denial that this story has
any basis of truth, as he says that
Olympia has not been sold to anyone
and that it is stationed at Charleston,
S. c., and is being used as barracks
for the seamen in the division
There may be some old American
battleship of ancient vintage in the
Turkish fleet" said Mr.. Patterson to-
day, "but the person that wrote that
story about the Olympia has certainly
got the names mixed UP.

ENLISTED MEN OF
navy PLEASED
SECRETARY OF NAVY DANIELS
VERY POPULAR AMONG NAVY
MEN OWING TO RECENT OR
DERs-ENLISTED MEN MUCH
PLEASED.

Owing to the fact that there will be
no fleet review at New York City this
fall under orders from Secretary Dan
iels of the navy, the Mediterranean
cruise of the battleship fleet which has
been postponed until November, will
be longer than ordinary, allowing the
Atlantic fleet to tour many of the
European ports before returning to
Guantanamo station for the winter
manueVerS at the usual time. This is
only one of the many orders which the
new secretary Of the navy has made
in recent months and which is making
him decidedly popular among the en-
listed men Of the service as we'll as
with the officers, according to the
statement of the local recruiting Of
| ficer, William Patterson.
Another popular step already taken
by the new secretary is that Of allow
ing enlisted men to take the examina-
ton for appointment as assistant pay
master in the navy. This means that
the enlisted men only may take that
examination, making the competition
decidedly fairer to them. In addition
to the ten vacancies created by law
each year there are usually extra
vacancies due to resignation and death.
| 1t is said that the civilians who were
| coaching up for these openings at diff
ferent preparatory schools have given
up their instructions and have left for
their homes. 1t is believed that with
the modification Of the scope of these
examinations and with the extension
OF time allowed for preparation it will
be possible to fill the vacancies from
among the qualified candidates from
the service. s....
1t can easily be understood what this
new action means to the enlisted man.
He may now enter the ranks of the
warrant officers and will receive a
salary far in excess of anything short
of that received by line officers.
With the establishment Of the school
system on the ships and the opportun-
tiles for advancement, the naval serv-
ice is sure to become a very popular
vocation for young America"

PROCURING FACTS
On WOOLLY APHIS
PARK COMMISSION HAS SENT.
PARK SUPERINTENDENT TO
MINNEAPOLIS TO STUDY PHAs.
Es OF WooLLY APHIs AND
METHOD or DIFFERENTIATION.

| That Fargo's park commission is up
and doing and has taken progressive
step in the endeavor to save the city's
shade trees in the residence districts
| is SHOWN by the fact that Park Super
intendent Meller Of the, Fargo parks
has gone on its recomm endation to
! minneapolis for a week to study the
methods of exterminating the Woolly
apfis. which has become the menace
| OF Fargo's softwood shade trees
| Awakened by an editorial in The
Forum In it's issue of Aug. 20, there
mas already arisen a widespread agi-
tatlon among the city's tree lovers TO
exterminate this pest. The members
OF the park commission are urging that
every tree owner in the city give at
tentlon to this insect so that the ruin
alton of the trees 1t Is attacking will
cease.
Park Supt. c. L. Meller went to MIN
neapolis early this week to spend u
few days with Park Superintendent
W1rth of that city and the Minneapolis
park boards special forestry man who
is assisting Mr.. Wirth. With these
forestry experts, Mr., ,Meller will study
the methods of exterminating the
woolly aphis 50 that every available
means may be taken by the Fargo
park board and the Fargo tree owners
to save the softwood trees in this city,
This trip to Minneapolis comes also
in the nature of a brief vacation for
Mr.. Meller as we'll as giving him a
glimpse of the methods of keeping
parks and trees in other cities. 1t is
expected he will bring back many
ideas of spraying the trees to rid the
city Of this pest.
A special preparation is needed to
spray the softwood trees to extermin-
ate the woolly aphis and this informa-
ton Mr.. Meller will report to the park
commission on his return
In the interim the members Of the
park commission are urging all tree
owners in the city to do all in their
power to impede the progress of these
insects and curb their havoc.
A number of the citizens on the
south side of the city have already
begun to do all they can in this. Sew
eral handsome big trees on. some of
the lawns On Eighth and Ninth streets
south have been attacked by this in
sect Son the lawn of A. L. Moody A
handsome tree has recently been at
tackled and Judge Pollock has had to
cut a tree down in order to get rid of
the pest. g.. 0r.-
The park board is urging that peo-
pie henceforth give more attention to
the planting of elms rather than the
softWood trees, as the life of an elm is
l0O years while others last at the best
not more than twenty-five

FORMER FARGO
EDITOR IN ROW
MAN WHO GOT LOCAL NEWS
PAPER MEN SUMMONED TO
: WASHINGTON, is IN TROUBLE
OUT WEsT-sEEMs TO BE PER.
sIsTENT TROUBLE MAKER,

James A. Metcalf, formerly editor
of the local morning paper and the
man who wrote the editorial accusing
Senator Gronna, which was the cause
of the two managers of the paper be-
ing summoned to Washington to ex-
plain to congress, is again in trouble,
The following is from The Glendive
Independent:
All effort to remove James A. Met
calf, the former publisher of The Daw-
SON County Review, from the lime
light Of publicity, appear to be in vain.
This time he is heard from at San
Francisco, where his wife is suing
him for an accounting of property
alleged to have been placed in his care
some years ago. Metcalf was served
with the summons almost upon his
arrival, and he will thus be compelled
to remain In Frisco to defend the
action. T%
Like the cat with the infinite num-
Der of lives, Metcalf is bound to bob
up now and then, when it was pre-
sumed that he was safely buried from
view Of the public. The San Francisco
report is as follows: tF>-s
San Francisco, CAL, Aug. 6.-Bol-
stored up by the thought that when
he arrived in San Francisco last
Thursday night, he had taken the first
step that would lead to reconcilia-
ton with his wife, Mrs. Carrie Ethelyn
Metcalf, who has been here since
January last making her home with
friends, James A. Metcalf, a former
Glendive. Mont. newspaper publisher
received a shock when he stepped
from his room at the Stewart hotg
this morning.
He was served with complaint
filed in the superior court by Mrs.
Metcalf, wherein she seeks an ac !
counting from him of a fortune she
entrusted to his care before and after
their marriage In Michigan fifteen
years ago.
There may be a reconciliation. couu-
sci for the wife admits, but 1T will not
be until after the property right of
both have been determined i'm court or
arranged by conference.
Service having been made upon the
husband here he will be compelled to
remain In San Francisco to defend the
action. The only other course open
is to effect a settlement with Mrs.
.Metcalf and then probably take her
back home.
Ha1 Metcalf been content TO live
apart from his wife she would not be
able to sue here or elsewhere than
the residence OF her husband at Glen
dive.
Y In November 1897. the wife alleges,
she was a single woman, 10 years Of
age. In that month she and Metcalf
became engaged to marry, but were
net united until November, 1898.
At the time of the engagement Mrs.
Metcalf says she was possessed of an
inherited fortune from her parents ia
Ohio A part Of. this, in cash she
claims to have turned over to Metcalf
before their wedding day. and more
than $4,000 before 1905.
