ships while all America joined In one grand hur'
rah for a navy that was admittedly one OF the
best the seven seas.
The American navy is still among the best, but
the ships that were fought by Dewey and by
Sampson and by SChey no longer figured In
the lineup that makes the great fleet under com
mand of Rear Admiral Badger one of the most
powerful fighting organizations the world has
seen.
Every one OF the famous ships OF 1898 Is today
officially admitted to be obsolete, and all OF them
put together would rot be powerful as is the
giant superdreadnaught Wyoming, or the Arkan'
sas or the Florida or the Utah, any one OF
which would be n match for all the ships that
fought under Dewey and Sampson combined II

Just year ago the then secretary OF the navy.
George Won L. Meyer. publicly called attention to
the fact that the American navy had more than
its full quota OF battleships whose day In the
first line had passed and the places OF which
would have TO be taken by more modern ships OF
the Wyoming and Florida classes If the United
States TO retain its position as the worlds
second naval power. The other day the observa'
tion of the ex-naval secretary was recalled by
naval officer In New York, who took pencil and
pad and going back fifteen and twenty and
twenty-five years figured out Just what the obso
lete ships now adorning the naval lists originally
cost the United States government
II was so rdculously easy, the computation OF
that total value of famous ships that are ready
TO die a naval death Of old age. The result was
astounding and when at last the navy man wiped
his brow and announced the result OF that little
mathematical feat OF his he had proved that the

the past twenty-six years resident
of this city, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Hans Moen, at Du-
luth Saturday morning, July 10TH, f,

sis which he suffered on June end.
Mr.. Thoreson left this city during
the latter part of last year for Du-

home with his daughter. He was
quite hale and hearty up until the
time he was stricken with paralysis
but since that time his health has
been failing fast and death came last

city Monday and the funeral was con-

city and all join in offering theil
heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing
relatives during their bereavement.

Wilson of Milwaukee was en-
gagged to take the place of G. w.
Hyper in the high school, Mr..
Hyper having resigned to &C.
cept a position in the Milwau-
kee public schools. Nearly all
of the teaching force has now
been engaged.
The boord voted to make ap-
plication to the state to have our
local high school made a train
ing school for teachers. The
legislature recently passed a bill
setting aside $25,O00 to establish
training schools throughout the
state. The state pays the teach
er in this department. and there
is no additional cost to the local
school. It provides a training
for teachers during their time
in the high school.

for this reason that the attendance
was not larger than it was. A good
ly number braved the threatening
weather and spent the day at the
experimental farm where talks on
subjects pertaining to agriculture and
fruit raising were listened to. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Professors
Humphrey, Delwiche, Millard,
Moore and Musback of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
During the noon hour a picnic
dinner was served and most enjoy
able time was had by al present.
Visitors were also taken about the
farm and shown what work was being
done by this department.
The meeting on a whole was de-
cided success and meetings of this
kind will be held each year hereafter.
The experimental station at Ash
land Junction is doing wonderful
work for the farmers and fruit grow
ers of this region and it's worth will
be more fully demonstrated as the
years advance.
