HIGH

Santa Fe oct. 1O-Intensely inter-

ing are the traffic statistics of the
Santa Fe systeIh in New Mexico, filed
with the state corporation commission
yesterday Contrary to the general
impression, it costs the Santa Fe less,
in proportion to income to operate its
system in New Mexico than the aver
age for the entire system, for the op-
Grating expense for the entire system
was 64.33 per cent of the operating
revenue, but in New Mexico it was
only COOS per cent.

FIRST THREE.GUN
TURRETS in
AMERICA
THE BATTLEsHIP NEVADA is TO
BE EQUIPPED WITH MOD
ERN MACHINERY

Quincy, Mass, Oct 10-Preparations
are being made at the Fore River
ship yards here for the installation
on the battleship Nevada of the first
three-gun turrets ever placed on any
American battleship These turrets
will be the best protected of any in
the world, and they will be the heav-
lest ever set up, weighing on the aver
age about 80 tons
There is necessarily a large amount
of work before the turrets may be set
in their proper places, putting in Pro-
tective armor below decks for the me-
chanical appliances used to operate
and carry ammunition to the turrets,
LAYING the tracks on which the mas
sive pieces of armor are moved and
,planing off the bottom Of the turrets
to get them perfectly adjusted All
of this work is we'll along towards
completion so that the first turret
probably will be hoisted aboard the
Nevada next week.
Each of these turrets will have
three 14-inch guns. the most powerful
of any United States battleship and
rivalled by only few guns in the
British and German fleets. These IL
inch guns weigh on the average about
147500 pounds and measure 53 feet
in length. Perhaps nothing shows the
superiority of the new guns more
clearly than the charges they will be
able to throw against an enemy, IL
400 pounds in weight and containing
much larger amount Of high ex-
plosive to cause damage when it hits
the mark, compared with ain $40
pound projectile for the 12-inch pieces.
Two of these three-gun turrets are
to be set up, one on the forecastle
deck and one on the quarter deck,
with a two-gun turret behind and
slightly above each. Thus there will
be five 14-inch guns facing ahead and
al similar number facing astern, with
ability to concentrate the fire of all
ten guns at either side or almost dl-
rectly ahead or asternA The tremen-
dous advantage Of such an arrange
ment has made deep impression on
naval authorities the world over.
The New York and Texas, the only
American ships in commission with
14-inch guns, carry them mounted in
five two-gun shrrets instead Of four
as on the Nevada and her sister ship.
the Oklahoma, which is being con-
structed by the New York Ship Build
ing company at Camden, NJ ].
The side armor OF the Nevada is
well along towards all being in place.
but it is figured that between three
and four months will be needed to
complete this work. Owing to the
fact that the Nevada will use only oil
for fuel she will have but one smoke
stack and will be able to concentrate
her boilers in the middle Of the ship
and afford them heretofore unknown
security in the form Of the heaviest
armor ever employed for this purpose

INDIVIDUAL EFFORT NEEDED.

The Eagle has but little faith In the
virtue OF any OF the so-called relief
measures that have been proposed,
either legislative action or the efforts
OF pools and combinations. The agi.
tation OF relief measures has net
prohted the farmers a penny. but on
the other hand II has cost them since
September / many millions. II kept
them from selling when cotton was
81 and Q cents pound. and now they
are forced TO sell at from fifteen to
twenty dollars a bale less.
Not only that, but relief agitation
has blurred the farmers vision. In
a sort OF dazed state they are expect.
ing relief from somewhere, somehow,
and have taken their minds and efforts
OF the task OF solving the situation
for themselves. And after all, that IS
Just exactly what each individual
farmer must do. The government
can't do II for him, neither can any.
one else. He must either sell his cot.
ton for whatever he can get. or Dor.
row money on IT, and apply the pro-
ceeds as his very best judgment sug-
gests.
In the meantime he must solve the
problem OF making his farm self-sup'
porting. During the time required for
his farm to become self.supporting
will be the tlghtest pinch. but with
hard work. intelligently directed
every man can make II.
The Eagles contention that every
man must solve the problem for him
self does not mean that we are op
posed to organization. Certainly there
must be organization. Organization
for the planting Of the surest and
most salable crops and organization
for marketing. Without organization
Individual effort will be greatly handi
capped. but after all is said and done
individual effort is the cornerstone
upon which all must rely.

three years. The honorable capitula-

defenses in the history of warfare.
On the death of Charles II OF Spain,
the French seized Ostend, but in 170G.
after Marlborough defeated the French
at Families, II was taken by the al

French, but restored three years later
In 1856 the French garrisoned the
town for the Empress Maria Theresa.
In 1892 Ostend again fell to the
French, who evacuated II in 1898, re-
gained It In 1894. and defeated the
English there in 1888 The city was
under the flag Of Netherlands from
1914 TO 1880, when Belgium regained
its independence. Modern Ostend is
known as La Refine des Plages-the

years 1t has been the greatest sea
